The forecast calls for iced drinks.
Whether you’re stopping by for a Plum Matcha, a Black Sesame or a Tiramisu Cold Brew, we’ve got something cold waiting for you.
Perfect for warm walks, sunny lunch breaks and finding a shady spot for a few quiet minutes.

When it gets this hot, a shaded spot and something cold to drink is all you really need. We have hidden garden spaces at many our bakeries: tucked-away spots where you can slow down, have lunch, or just chill for a while.
We’ve got shaded tables at many of our bakeries, but here are some of our favourite spots: Ely, Godalming, Radlett, Marlow, Hitchin, St Margarets, Victoria Park, Summertown, Mill Hill, Clifton Road, and Clapham Old Town.
Lunch al fresco could be a lovely way to treat your dad too, if you’re celebrating Father’s Day this weekend.

On Wednesday, we welcomed friends to our home in Camden to celebrate our new Summer Menu.
A long colourful table took over our local square, where we served huge platters of summertime salads, bright cocktails and seasonal cakes and our artist in residence brought to life the table with her beautiful drawings.
People talked long into the evening, rekindling old connections and making new ones. It finally feels like summer is here. We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering.

A summer table, shared properly.
This week’s preview brought together friends of GAIL’s for an evening of live music, seasonal dishes and drawings by Emma Cantley. There’s something special about gathering outdoors in summer. Passing plates, pouring another glass, making room for one more person. The small rituals that turn food into connection.
Thank you for spending the evening with us.

We pour a lot of love and work into our previews. Behind the scenes and long before the evening, we’re cooking, prepping, flower arranging, table setting, drawing, drink filling and of course, weather checking.
Here’s a sneak peek at our process.

What people say
GAIL's Bakery on Lauriston Road in London is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good, honest food. Their San Francisco loaf is a prime example of their commitment to using only the best ingredients - made with flour, yoghurt, milk and water, it's not only delicious but also fosters a good diversity of bacteria for improved gut health. And if you're looking for something sweet, their cinnamon sugar croissant buns are a Saturday morning treat that can't be missed.
But GAIL's Bakery isn't just about bread and pastries - their Strawberry and Ricotta cakes are back in the bakery and are freshly baked throughout the day. And if you're in the mood for something savoury, their Tomato and Artichoke Quiche is cased in buttery shortcrust pastry and filled with sundried tomatoes, artichokes, creamy ricotta, mature cheddar, rosemary and thyme. They even season it with spicy Ezme Turkish paste made from sundried tomatoes, peppers and pomegranate molasses.
And let's not forget about their bagels - the smoked salmon and pastrami bagels come with a kick thanks to their friends at [unspecified]. But what really sets GAIL's Bakery apart is their commitment to using ingredients that are good for your gut health. Their fermentation specialists have perfected the process of transforming humble cucumbers into something truly special.
Overall, GAIL's Bakery on Lauriston Road is a gem of a coffee shop and breakfast & brunch restaurant that serves up delicious food made with care and attention to detail.
