Charged extra for day old food. If one of these things pops up in your neighbourhood you have been gentrified and your rent will soon be inexplicably three times higher than it should. Like Gails... See more

The £4.80 babka was so dry and flavourless it was like eating a wool sock. What a waste of a caloric splurge.

*OVERPRICED AND POOR SERVICE*

*OVERPRICED AND POOR SERVICE*
It was around 5pm on 20-02-25. The lady there came walking and just stopped in front of us not greeting or saying anything (ok, not too bad, but first red flag - lacking customer service skills). At that time the options were already low. We ordered what we found left. As she started preparing it I mentioned that we would eat in. She answered saying that at 5pm they only put in a take away bag and disposable cups. So I paid for overpriced items, poor customer service and we had to have our drinks and food in house as a take away option. No proper cups, plates or cutleries.
The lady there could benefit from a customer service skill workshop and the company should review their prices if they want to provide a poor experience like that.

Charged extra for day old food.
If one of these things pops up in your neighbourhood you have been gentrified and your rent will soon be inexplicably three times higher than it should. Like Gails sandwich prices.

Everything about this brand is bad for you and bad for london

Please stop calling that babka

The £4.80 babka was so dry and flavourless it was like eating a wool sock. What a waste of a caloric splurge.
