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.]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 12:58:52 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1f93564/gail-s/1z68582020010735 sue 51.513924 -0.203498 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1f93564/gail-s/1k16j8

Heavenly bread, cakes and savory bits. Coffee is the best in Notting Hill I think along with their pain au chocolates. They have outside tables (with heaters) and limited seating inside (downstairs they have made into a comfy seating area but up top is not so comfy.

Totally mad on the weekend with the market crowd around but during the week you can usually get a table. If not grab some bread to take home, it is truly divine.]]> Thu, 10 Jan 2008 21:36:49 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1f93564/gail-s/1k16j81388984889 belinda 51.513924 -0.203498 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/food/1f93564/gail-s/1u43h7

Part of a chain (The other branch is in Hampstead).
Gail is a cafe/bakery. We tried some of the quiche and they were superb! The bread looks amazing and the place itself is nice to sit in. The service was just one big mistake but I will forgive them because they have just opened and I am sure they will be ok by now. Even just for the bread, give it a try...
I was walking in the street and saw one of their delivery cars with a sign saying Gail's Force'... That's really funny... sounds like a secrete operation to bring bread in time to Gail's cafes...]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 16:10:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/food/1f93564/gail-s/1u43h71453712485 gilka 51.513924 -0.203498
