GAIL's Bakery Summertown

Loved it. Nice littler back garden and also front seats. Had a cinnamon roll which was delicious. First time out again since September:-)

Good selection of baked goods, nice coffee and friendly staff. As a bonus - there's a cute little garden at the back with heating lamps, perfect for sitting outside in autumn/winter.

Here with my 7 year old daughter having a late lunch - food delicious though they don’t toast anything for you 😕. I would have preferred my Salmon creamed bagel toasted and my daughter saying she would have loved her ham & cheese croissant toasted too. For Being at such a central location in the prime little town of Summertown the staff are not friendly enough. They appear not to notice that customers will just stand in front of the counter and waited to he served . Also there wasn’t any paper towels in the communal toilet & neither any water refilled in the jug displayed to on the shelf . ☹️And the price is not that cheap !!

The coffee was okay but the ham and cheese croissant was bitter and cold and when asked to warm it up they said they don't reheat the food. So I wouldn't recommend eating anything that is supposed to be warm. Also, the salmon bagel had no cream cheese and, although it looked toasted, it was room temperature so the butter had a hard time melting.

One of my favourite bakeries of all time!!! Great staff, great variety of products and lovely sitting area with heatings from the top. I love the outside seating and it is so lovely with a lot of nature! I loved the ham and cheese croissant and sausage roll is absolutely incredible! So many great desert options as well and love that not always you will get the same pastries. Hot chocolate was lovely and having sitting in drinks in their lovely cups was lovely. I would love to see some point card systems or some student discounts or some lunch set to make some of the items affordable. Having some filter coffee options will be lovely as well. There were couple of various savoury items last time I have visited but today there was only a cheese scone and sausage roll. Having some more savoury items in the morning and some more vegan lunch items could be nice.
