Food hygiene meets Google reviews. Find your unicorn.
π 237 ELGIN AVENUE, LONDON, W9 1NJ
Tier Achieved:
Mediocre energy. You'd probably do better cooking at home.
The epitome of "does the job." Safe enough, food's fine. But let's be honest β your kitchen's probably cleaner AND tastier.
Gails is a mixed bagβ5/5 hygiene rating but a mediocre 3.9 Google score tells you all you need to know. While the coffee and pastries are a hit with some, others have described the staff as frosty as a London January. You might get a warm welcome or a condescending stare; itβs a real gamble. The location is solid for a post-flight coffee or a quick snack, but be prepared for some hits and misses when it comes to customer service.
Some rave about the delicious sourdough and nice atmosphere while others bemoan the lack of hospitality. If you're willing to roll the dice on your visit, you might just find a decent cup of coffee, but let's just say itβs not a sure thing.
"Charming and helpful when I was baffled."
"Tasty coffee, fresh pastries and bread."
"Great place with delicious coffee and fresh pastries."
