I’ve been a loyal customer of Gail’s…
I’ve been a loyal customer of Gail’s for many years but from this day forward I will stop buying my bakery from there. The customer service is shocking & it puts me off going into their shops. Today was the final straw after being ignored twice & two other customers being served before me, I was then asked to move out of the way!
I gave 2 stars as I do like their bread offering!

Poor customer experience
We visited Gail's at Liverpool St station. We ordered scones. The butter was so hard we couldn't spread it with the functionally useless cardboard knives supplied. We had to eat off of a dirty table with serviettes as no plate was supplied either. Will not patronise Gail's again.

Hello Joe, thank you for reviewing our bakery. Our decision to go cashless was made to streamline our operations and enhance safety for both customers and team. It's also in line with our sustainability efforts, as we no longer have to transport cash (by car) from our 100+ locations. We appreciate the inconvenience and hope you can understand we are doing this for what we believe are the right reasons. If you would like to discuss this further, please get in touch with our central Customer Experience team via gails.com/pages/contact quoting this review.

My first ever review after my city break to London. Great first stop at Gails spital fields market. I can’t remember her name, but she has the most beautiful smile. Thank you for the amazing coffee, I highly recommend going!
