Another branch of Gail's to recommend. As the shops are all very different inside, this one is very light with a particularly high ceiling as it was a bank before. Not at all dark or rustic like some of the shops. The standard is the same although I was left waiting for ages while the young male server served some porridge for a diner. The only other person, a woman then came out to the counter and proceded to serve a man who had just walked in with his young daughter. I let it go as I was in no real hurry. I expect the cakes and pastries are made to what the customers ask for as there seemed to be less on display than I've seen in other shops but it may have been an illusion. Overall, very nice.

Not very relaxing if you come with a baby or child and sit in the back. They do not bring your drink to you so you have to either abandon your child while you come back to the front to get your drink or wheel them back and forth in a Pram while trying to carry your hot drink back. Surely staff can just bring your drink to you if you’re there with a baby or child and have to sit at the back if the front is full? Rather visit a cafe elsewhere so I can actually sit and relax and not fret about having to leave my baby alone in a high chair which is dangerous to do. Why is it self serve here? Every other coffee shop or cafe will bring your drink to you if you’re dining in.

I'm regular at this wonderful place, always welcome by the helpful staff, mustn't forget Eva, who's so adorable and professional. Coffee is superb, the bread mulitseed is the winner of all sourdough I've tried. Soup of the day, I've tried 2 and the kale and parmesan is simply delicious. My always favourite is the almond crossaint and my son loves the cheese string and the home made granola Greek yoghurt with blueberries. Spinach and ricotta pastry is also amazing along with other treats. Recently tried the salad bowls in the fridge, the broccoli one with black rice very yummy . Just can't stay away from this place...

Since the day Gail’s opened in High Barnet, we are regular customers. We love our coffee and the warm welcome of all the staff, especially Eva, she always welcome us, ask us how we are and makes the best coffee for us! We also love the food, our favourites are the cheese straws, the pain au raisin and the pistachio rose cake.

I frequent many Gail’s spots throughout London on a regular basis and I am always blown away by the manager and the team in Barnet. They go above and beyond to make sure I always receive a first class experience when visiting the store. They know me by my first name and it always feels like home when I come in and order my oat flat white. The best Gail’s in London! Thank you team

I enjoy having a cup of coffee here. I really like the food and coffee. Also, you must try the pistachio rose cake, it's just perfect. Although its more expensive than other popular coffee chains in London, the taste and the quality reflects that. The facilities (restroom, seating areas etc) are cleaner than most other places. Only thing I would criticize is that they don't warm the savory food. I would prefer to have my food warmed before I eat as I already pay for it a good amount.

I had my first coffee from Gail’s today and it will be my last … I can’t understand all the hype about this coffee shop. The coffee was like hot milk and overpriced absolutely tasteless, you get a stronger cup for half less than half the price in Greggs and they only have to press a button. I was so disappointed.

The counter items should be covered . I went today to have coffee and a salmon roll. Unfortunately I had to turn myself around and leave the shop because 3 bluebottles were happily having a great time flying from one roll to another . This is not the first time I’ve seen this in Gail’s bakeries . Please get covers for the open counters . Sorry but I’ve been put off for life now . In my opinion that’s a health hazard .

Been meaning to write a review for a while to highlight Eva. She always has a smile on her face, is so helpful and a pleasure to see. She really goes the extra mile to get to know you and your family and genuinely cares. Thanks for brightening my day!

Eva in the High Barnet branch always gives me a warm welcome as I am almost a daily customer. She also always remembers exactly how I like my coffee. All the staff are pleasant as well and the standard of food and coffee is excellent. My only criticism is that after only a short while this branch being my local branch stopped doing the broccoli cheese slice which was the best ever. I hope it will be re introduced.

My absolute favourite deli, I just want to go and spend the day there and eat and drink my delicious coffee☕️. Thanks for that my lovely girls Eva and Radostina

Oh wow, now I said we didn't need another eaterie in Barnet and it's sad to see the bank go BUT times change and we all have to move on and this place is really relaxed, beautiful food, beautiful cakes, pastries, coffee. Not a lot of tables which is a shame. But overall really nice. But my indulgence was a whole cake which cost an extortionate £14 way too much.

Popped in for a quick bite but sadly disappointed the tea was not very good quality the colour and taste was like a supermarket cheap economy tea very watery the spinach and feta sausage roll was dry tasteless and stale sorry Gail's but £8 for a small sausage roll and horrible poor quality tea is not a good first impression think will go Greggs next time

A member of the staff made me feel like a villain when simply asked about contents of the product. Some customers, due to allergies / GI diet, etc may require information on the ingredients if the name of the product isn't elaborating. Shame as the shop has a lovely cozy feel on its look. Would suggest re-training on customer service to improve.

Gail’s in High Barnet is an absolute gem. The customer service is exceptional - Sadia’s attention to detail, friendliness and warmth make it an absolute joy. She always goes the extra mile, and her coffee is delicious. Brilliant to have found my perfect morning spot!

Disappointed to find that when you eat in your quiche can’t be heated up! Paid extra to eat in (already very expensive for what it is) and then given a cold quiche. Won’t be returning.

I really loved how friendly and welcoming the staff were, very smiley and always ready to give a recommendation. They also knew about the surrounding area which was helpful as I was lost. The food was delicious and the latte I had was made to perfection (I’m picky about my coffee, sorry). Will definitely return!!!

I really love going Gail's go there every day with the little one food and drinks are amazing guys are always so kind Eva is my favourite she does gorgeous drinks and we always get one of them cheesy sticks little one loves it great place

Very professional and welcoming staff with great tasting food and drinks! Especially to Lauren who was patient while waiting for me to decide what I wanted to order after being overwhelmed with the vast selection they have, a great addition to Barnet highstreet, could not reccomend enough

Very happy to have a Gail's on our high street. 5 Stars to the taste of food, coffee and other beverages, but -2 stars for the profuse presence of flies all over the food counter and lack of fridge for the smoked salmon bagels. Something needs to be done before people start getting ill.

We visit Gail's bakery in Barnet, and every time we go there, we have a good experience. Food is well presented , and the drinks are made with love . Members of staff are lovely and professional. The environment feels spacious but yet cosy. I will definitely be visiting soon again. ☺️

Sadia and Eva’s customer service is amazing! I love coming into Gail’s and seeing their friendly faces, they make the best coffees! It brightens up my day when I see them when I come in to get my Gail’s fix! Thank you for the amazing service and free laughs always :) More

Its ok food. I paid £10-11 just for a focaccia sandwich and regular cappuccino. Wasn't worth the money to be honest. Focaccia too oily. And the barista hygiene was questionable. She coughed in her hand and then made my coffee. Didn't even wash her hands afterwards. More

I've been here a few times now. The staff, food, and atmosphere is always great. Taking away 1 start because the coffee isn't great - it really depends on who is making it - one time I got a very nice flat white - the other times, it wasn't even a flat white.

Staff always welcoming, I go there time to time and the team always remember my coffee!! The food is amazing (parmesan chicken sandwich is my favourite). My favourite place in Barnet for sure !!

Cinnamon Bun

Popped in very late in the day to get a seeded sourdough loaf (our favourite) and was given a challah for free. Goodness me - what a lovely loaf - this will definitely be a repeat purchase! Thank you …

Love this bakery, always so much choice and great coffee. The staff are always polite and friendly, especially Lauren she is a real credit to the team - so glad to have this Gail’s as my local bakery!

Had a sausage roll from here. It used to be good but today it was awful. Tasteless and was dry like eating a piece of overcooked pork mince rather than sausage meat. Awful..,

Have visited a number of times for morning snack of coffee, cheese and chive scone (yummy) and chocolate tahini cake. Worth visiting. Have not tried any other foods though.

A fabulous place for eat-in or takeaway. It's often busy, but it's worth joining the queue as the food and drink taste fabulous. Our favourite has to be the cinnamon buns.

Worst service I’ve ever received from all Gail’s stores I’ve been so far from red hair lady and the other blonde hair/glasses lady, very rude customer service

There’s a lot of space inside for people with prams at the front and even an extra space at the back for people who want some quiet. Love the pastries too

Very, very expensive. Service is great. Seating area indoors like outdoor is less than ideal. It's just another high priced fancy coffee chain in London.

So happy Gail's has come to Barnet. Best breads, best croissants, great cakes, muesli and salads, and if you have time you can eat in. Not to be missed

My cinnamon bun was to die for. My friend had an almond croissant, never tasted anything like that before. Both things were filling and delicious.

I like the branding of this place. I wish they'd do more gluten free stuff but I know bakeries find it difficult to let go of traditional flour.

Very appreciative to have a Gail’s on the High Street. Very nice and modern layout, with tasty pastries and delicious coffee. Highly recommend!

It’s nice that Barnet has a Gail’s now too and I like the back little room for a quiet coffee. The cakes are delicious! I come here often

The best place to eat in Barnet. Super friendly staff… highly recommended!

Awesome bakery cannot fault anything, staff are friendly and welcoming worth that bit extra than the "normal " bakeries around.

Amazing cakes, really nice cup of coffee and the staff was excellent! Super friendly and nice. Highly recommended! Thank you :)

I go there regularly. I love the coffee, the staff is always so smiley. The best thing is their chocolate almond croissant !!

Such a nice place and atmosphere. Food is amazing but the coffee it’s even better. Will recommend and will always go back!

Attentive staff. Fresh pasteries. Variety of leaf teas and fresh juices available. Seating available outside and inside.

Do enjoy it in here. Don't use to often but when up top if town. Nice smooth coffee unlike a few of the competitors.

Lovely bakery with incredibly amazing and professionally friendly staff. Super clean environment and delicious bakes

Unusual and delicious new cakes to feast on and the potato and rosemary sourdough bread is in a league of it’s own.

Love this bakery, it's such a great addition to Barnet! The cinnamon rolls and blueberry brioche are incredible!

Expensive for somewhere that tries too make things that sound fancy but taste strange and at a low quality,

Friendly staff. I do love the ice tea. On occasion I will have a flat white with a spinach roll.

What to say about it? Just quality !

GAIL's architecture is always very beautiful and simple. The coffee is also relaxing.

Really tasty food and great coffee. A little on the pricey side but worth the extra.

Great coffee and cookies. Would like to return to try the other food on display.

Lovely collection of cakes and snacks and dogs can go in for take away!!

Quality food and good coffee served by professional and friendly staff.

Not everyone has access to card payment appalling you don’t take cash!

Amazing food and fabulous staff. Coffee was excellent! Will be back!

Amazing staff and brilliant service! My new favourite place to go.
