The craving (and difficulty) in finding a quality loaf sparked Ran Avidan and Tom Molnar’s entrepreneurial drive to open GAIL's artisan bakery. They left their safe city jobs to team up with Gail Stephens, founder of Baker and Spice and The Bread Factory - a small artisan bakery supplying London’s who’s who of top chefs. It was here Ran and Tom developed their vision to take the bread top chefs enjoyed and put it within hands reach of Londoners. We still think it is better to make a great potato & rosemary sourdough than pocket a few extra pence – we’re 100% chemical free!

Bread, Cakes and Coffee
After a visit to the very interesting Museum of Brands, Packaging & Advertising, a coffee was in order and the first place we came across was the inviting looking Gail's on Portobello Road.
Gail's is a bakery and café which has a mouth-watering array of tasty looking goodies, along with a variety of fresh baked breads including the biggest loaf of sourdough I have ever seen!
The four of us took a while to decide what we wanted to eat with our coffee - everything looked great. In the end we opted for a healthy-ish muffin, a cute little pecan tart, a ricotta babka, and a mini maple cake. All were very good, apart from the maple cake which tasted like it had been sitting around for a couple of days. Plotting a return visit though for some of that sourdough.
