GAIL's Bakery King Street

You're stood on King Street with coffee in hand, watching the city wake up around you. GAIL's does that thing where it makes a Tuesday morning feel intentional—the kind of place where your £5 croissant doesn't feel like a rip-off because you can taste the butter actually doing something. Their sourdough loaves are solid, the pastries have proper lamination, and the coffee won't make you wince. It's busy, genuinely busy, especially around 8am when everyone's grabbing breakfast before heading into town.
