Gail’s was started as a bakery by Yael (Gail) Mejia in the early 1990s serving chefs and food venues in London.

In 2003, Tom Molnar joined the business, and in 2005 they opened their first shop in Hampstead, serving fresh, handmade bread, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and cakes, alongside barista-style coffee.

The chain now has 125 outlets across UK including London, Cambridge Oxford, Brighton and Manchester.
