Gail's Artisan Bakery - London

Gail's bakery is small and unfortunately does not offer any vegan pastries.

I visited the restaurant today and was disappointed to find that there were no vegan sandwiches or desserts available. When I inquired about vegan options, the servers appeared confused and eventually admitted that they did not have any vegan items to offer. While I would typically suggest that HappyCow remove this bakery from their list, it seems that other reviewers may have had better experiences in the past. It may be worth stopping by to see if there have been any changes, but in my case, I decided to go to Cafe de Nata next door instead.

We arrived at the restaurant early and they only had black Tahin cupcakes available. Since we hadn't had breakfast, we bought five and they were all gone before we reached the museum. We should have bought more because they were incredibly delicious.

Sometimes I wonder if places ask vegans what sort of vegan options they’d like before they go on sale because places like Gails never seem to get it right! The vegan hot chocolate is always a winner for me as is their chai latte but the food options are bizarre! The only sweet treat is a chocolate tahini bite which is the size of a fingernail and the sandwich options never hit the spot. It’s a shame because the atmosphere is always lovely and their breads are delicious.

I stopped tasting her olive oil bread and her vegan chocolate and tahini bite. the brot was okay, but nothing special. it lacked taste and had a better texture. the texture did not feel fresh, although it was apparently baked on this day. the chocolate tahini bite was delicious, but again, nothing special. it was soft and chocolate. like a small brownie bite. if they stop for a hot drink and feel like something sweet to go with, I would recommend it. I like it's small so they can enjoy a bit of sweetness without eating a whole bake. I was a little disappointed, but due to their missing vegan bakery options. they have a large selection of baked goods and only the chocolate tahini bite and a strawberry coconut bar cake that looked too overly sweet were the only vegan options.
