Bakery: Gail’s
Gail's
64 Hampstead High Street
NW3 1QH
Tel: 020 7794 5700
Date of Last Visit: Saturday, March 29
The Victim: Me, Myself, and I
The Damage: Less than £3?
The Background: Julie and I have plans for lunch and manicures and pedicures. Unfortunately, the previous evening, we'd been out at The Washington. Let's just say that a few people I know had trouble getting up the next morning. Lunch plans foiled! So I'm in Hampstead, starving. But then I see Gail's. And I have a good feeling.
The Food: I order a brioche with goat cheese and peppers. It's fantastic. Also, the staff is GREAT. Super friendly and on-the-ball. There are a few tables…not many. It seems to cater mostly to people like me…in and out. This is a good place. Hampstead is a good place. After my manicure, I spend the rest of the afternoon looking at property in Hampstead on Globrix, my new favorite property Web site. And I feel very poor.
The Verdict: I'll be back.

Gails is delicious, real, authentic, yummy, lovely….
I went there to take pictures for The Jellied Eel, a magazine published by Sustain.
I felt right at home there and could have stayed all day….
