The Barnes branch of boutique bakery chain Gail’s is a beautifully light and airy space, with one of the best views in Barnes looking out over the Green.
Breads – and in particular their signature sourdough – are a speciality but they also serve an array of slightly too tempting baked treats, from croissants and pain au chocolat to very dainty looking cakes. Its proximity to St Osmund’s School means that it acts as HQ to Barnes’ yummy mummy contingent at pick-up and drop-off times, but it’s a lovely calm spot for a cup of coffee on a sunny afternoon, or a lunchtime soup stop when the school rush is over.
The menu includes San Francisco sourdough, freshly baked croissants and pastries, cinnamon buns, sausage rolls and carrot cakes, as well as a selection of sandwiches and salads. All Gail’s products are handmade in London with no artificial additives or preservatives, delivered fresh to the bakeries every morning.
