3 /5 patrick jacobs: I popped into Gail’s in Willesden Green today, I just fancied a coffee and cake and to watch the world go by for a moment. So of course I’m writing a review, why not? When I write my reviews I always consider the service, the staff work hard and the stress of dealing with so many different personalities must be hard. Anyway let’s get on with the review.
This Gail’s is literally one minute from Willesden Green station or 266, 260 bus stop also a minute away. Parkings a real problem so if you drive expect to park a little walk away. Lovely staff with welcoming smiles not all but enough.
The place itself is quite spacious and had a kitchen area at the back, there are two seating areas, one at the front and more space near the kitchen area, I didn’t check if everything is baked onsite but I would imagine that some things that are the same in every Gail’s is delivered.
The service at the counter was quick and polite. The food was as always, consistent, I had a butter croissant and a apple cake. They don’t sell the normal drinks you would expect and that was a let down I feel as if they are trying to force me to drink what they decide is good for me.
So this is not going to be a rave review as it’s pretty much the same wherever you go. But one thing that bugged me today was a lady was buying bread and she grabbed two different loaves with her hand, squeezed them and put them back before choosing one, that really put me off, thank goodness my food was away from the public.
It’s not a cheap place so it’s never a regular visit. All in all it’s an ok place if you want to over the odds for a snack. The place was constantly busy so my review is not necessarily the popular view.
