GAIL's Bakery Prestwich

Walk into GAIL's on a Saturday morning and you'll clock why this stretch of Bury New Road matters to the neighbourhood. The bakery does that thing where it feels effortless—natural light, minimal fuss, just really good bread and pastries that taste like someone actually cares about fermentation times. You're looking at proper sourdough, croissants that shatter when you bite them, and the kind of coffee that doesn't taste like an afterthought. It's become the sort of place where locals queue because the stuff's genuinely worth it, not because Instagram told them to go.
