GAIL's Bakery Macclesfield

You'll find yourself on Chestergate reaching for whatever's still warm in the cabinet—and there's a reason the croissants disappear fast. GAIL's does that thing where they've clearly thought about their ingredients, which sounds obvious but isn't always the case round here. The sourdough has proper tang, the pastries are buttery without being heavy, and the coffee's the sort that makes you want to linger rather than bolt. It's become the kind of spot where you catch locals queuing before work, regulars who know exactly what they're after.
