Decent pastries, but hygiene could use a boost.

GAIL's Bakery is that convenient stop that’s a mixed bag. Sandy found the potato pie and quiche to be delightful, but let’s not pretend it’s Michelin-star quality—more like a solid choice when you’re starving at the train station. Tim and Paula praised the croissants as top-notch, but watch out for the afternoon slump where the pastries start to feel less fresh and more like a sad afterthought.

The cleanliness issues raised by Star Mike are a definite concern—you want your baked goods to be as clean as your conscience after indulging in them. With mixed reviews about the consistency of quality, it seems worth stopping by, but keep your expectations on a leash. 🥐
