Huge queues in Manchester as Gail's Bakery opens its doors
It's attracted quite a bit of attention since landing in the north earlier this year, and now Gail's, the hit London bakery known for its freshly baked sourdough loaves, cakes and bakes, has opened its first store in Manchester City Centre.
Located opposite Boodles on King Street and spread over two floors, the bakery takes over from the former White Stuff fashion store, which has just moved further up the street. While the cafe areas boast a contemporary décor, Gail's has also continued the recycling theme applied across its other branches, and has ensured that as much of the original building as possible is reused with reclaimed bricks, refurbished flooring and recycled orange peel light fixtures.
Those who waited their turn - in a queue that was snaking down King Street by lunchtime - were quick to bag Gail's much-loved bakes including cookies and flourless chocolate cake, as well as the bakery's focaccia, bagels and seeded buns. To takeaway Gail's signature treats, cakes will set you back around £4 for specials like walnut, banana and pecan or 4.80 to stay in, while Sourdough loaves - spanning of 30 different types - are priced from £4.
And while the high-street bakeries are a new addition to Greater Manchester's food and drink scene, Gail's opened a wholesale bakery in Openshaw back in 2017, and has been providing bread and pastries to some of the region’s best restaurants, hotels and cafes ever since.
