A lovely woman served me this morning, I only had cash, and without realising, didn't know that they didn't accept cash, yet she gave me the food anyway. I didn't catch a name so my apologies, but thank you <3 I was having a rough start to my morning, but the staff made my day. Thank you.

Gail’s Bakery in Farnham is my favourite place in Farnham to chill & have a quality coffee. The staff are always friendly the coffee is consistently great. I definitely recommend the seeded sourdough which I buy regularly, It really is great toasted. I’ve also recently tried their porridge with maple syrup seeds & blueberries honestly it’s amazing.

Gales Cafe in Farnham is the best place for those who value quality, delicious pastries and friendly, fast service. This cafe always has a large assortment of extremely tasty sweet and savory pastries, various salads, sandwiches and fabulous drinks. It is important to me that there is a significant selection of salty products for vegetarians. A special thanks to those who work in this wonderful cafe - it's so nice to see these kind, smiling faces. Good luck to you from grateful customers!

Terrible! Came at 9:00.. no porridge available for another 1/2 an hour, no bacon, dippy egg arrived with no dip (over-cooked). When I complained about the eggs the chef said the “oven is dodgy”. I went to the toilet and it wasn’t clean (I would have been the first customer to use this- bins were full, sink a mess, loo seat was up with pee everywhere). I was also over-charged where a random item had been added to my bill. Terrible organisation. Really gone downhill. What a shame.

Gail’s really need to start accepting cash payments again. Queuing 15 minutes for a loaf of bread only to be told I can only pay by card isn’t really ideal. During the pandemic it was understandable, but now it feels it’s just more convenient for Gail’s over the customers. I like Gail’s but will be going elsewhere in this basis.

BEST CAFE IN FARNHAM!! Gails is an absolutely fantastic place to sit, unwind and enjoy first class coffee and cakes. It is a happy and friendly environment with a brilliant team of youngsters, who go out of their way to make you feel welcomed. The customer service is spot on and I cannot fault their efforts to deliver first class service. Unfortunately I have seen some bad reviews on here which I feel are the complete opposite to what I see as a daily customer in Gail’s. I hope those who see my review will come and find out just how amazing this cafe truly is.

I have been a big fan of Gails for a while especially the ones in south west london, near to where I live.We were on our way to a brewery visit (Hogs Back - absolutely fantastic btw) the nearest train station is Farnham so we decided on a Gail's breakfast as we have always had a good experience.We were welcomed by a lovely staff member who took our coffee and breakfast order. Then the manager appeared ordering us around and speaking to the staff in an pretty unkind manner, he was abrupt and unfriendly. It really changed the tone of our visit. I have no idea whyhe needs to be so be so aggressive and abrupt It wasnt just us feeling uneasy. But I cant speak for others. Tbe Gails in Farnham is a world away from the local, welcoming and friendly ones in I have experienced before. A really sad experience Great chain, awful manager (I'm aware this is my first review on this site, It is only because the manager was so horrible to us and the staff and other customers that I felt it was necessary to write)

Quality of food superb, shame about a staff member who spoilt the visit with his condescending attitude as he tried to enlighten me that we were in the middle of a pandemic. I think he may have been helping out at the counter, as he did put on an apron, while I waited for my coffees. Gail’s Farnham could make better use of outdoor space like other coffee shops in town, now that sitting indoors isn’t an option. These can be safely spaced. I tried to suggest this but got a sarcastic response.I have supported Gail’s ever since opening but I guess it is now more of a takeaway so regretfully I will now look elsewhere.

Really tasty food! Quite expensive but good for Farnham and in my opinion worth the money. The staff are always lovely. I come every now and then for a lunch treat and never have been disappointed which you get in some of the chain stores. I recommend the sausage roll or the chicken harrissa bun. Also had a Pesto toastie once which was lovely. It is quite small out the back to sit but much nicer vibe than other loud places in Farnham. Also been with pushchair and they were very accommodating.

I have given this place several chances, hoping for a good experience but it is consistently dirty, with uncleared tables, cardboard boxes and other stuff stored in odd corners of the cafe, and a filthy food strewn floor. In summer the lovely looking pastries are made less appetising by the number of flies left sitting on them. On one occasion when I enquired after cheese scones, the assistant replied that they didn’t sell them. When I pointed to the obviously cheesy looking scones, she explained that they weren’t cheese, they were gruyere! Says it all really!

I love the coffee and the food is delicious, the staff are polite and friendly ! However the systems in place for eating-in service need reviewing, it seems unorganised. We waited so long just for a pastry and coffee, very frustrated as I had to check several times, and reassured it was on its way .... why didn’t the staff just give us the pastries straight away ? There appears to be some rather ridiculous procedure, where food is moved and shifted several times before making it to our table - note to self ! Take away only !!!Please review your service procedures, as I would like to eat in !

Gail’s has great bakery products and the coffee is quite good but in my opinion the cafe has been in decline since it opened. The service is really poor and the place is seriously dirty. The crockery is clean, the cutlery is just about acceptable, the tables are rarely clean and the floor is always filthy. I don’t know how the five staff working there at 10am in the morning can operate in such a dirty environment. I can only assume they are not proud of the brand or their customer satisfaction. You need to close and deep clean everything. Listen to what people say because I’m not the first to comment on the filth.

I went to Gail's on Saturday for lunch. It was quite busy, but the service was very quick, extremely friendly and we got a seat really quickly. I had the avocado on toast which was delicious - it was a great size with plenty of avocado, unlike many other places. My friend had a breakfast muffin and the bread usually used for this had run out and they very kindly offered her a choice of bread as soon as we were seated. We took a cinnamon swirl and banana, walnut and chocolate muffin to take away and I cannot rave about these pastries enough. They were amazing! Honestly, the muffin was vegan but didn't taste it at all and was really moist. I can't wait to come back and visit GAIL's again soon :)

Baked goods superb but probably won’t eat in again.

This friendly venue is best described as "cosy" as you can expect to be close to others no matter where you sit.

We stopped in at a deserted Gail’s on a Sunday afternoon after a walk in the surrounding area. We were one of two occupied tables. There were at least three staff members milling around, yet there were several tables uncleared, ours included. We took the dirty dishes up to the counter when we ordered- we were not even thanked for doing the staff’s job for them. We then proceeded to wait at least 15 minutes for an Americano, when the cafe was empty. Tired of waiting, I went in to ask where the coffee was, and only then did it appear without any apology for its lateness. Even as I write this review, the table next to us has a stack of dirty cups and plates. We are regulars of our local Gail’s on northcote road in battersea- this one is sadly lacking.

I was looking for a coffee in Farnham and didn't want to go to one of the "mainstream" chains so I gave Gail's a try. The coffee (I had an americano, black) was really excellent and the little cake I had with it was also fresh and tasty; I would be happy to return here. Service was very friendly but could have been a tad sharper - though as I was definitely not in a hurry this was not an issue for me. The seats, I was on one of the little round ones after moving a couple of times, are not designed for a long stay but as I was here alone I was able to manage. Overall, warmly recommended, it does what it does pretty well.

Lovely place and good food but what a strange service operation. As far as I could glean the coffee is dispatched separately from the tea and food. That's why I got my coffee fifteen minutes before my wife's tea and our food arrived.. lots of mention in the trip advisor reviews about service. Is no one reading them? Staff seemed very nice but could do with adopting a sense of urgency. Could have been such a nice experience.

If you don’t mind paying a bit more and sitting on an uncomfortable seat, this is a great place for pastries and coffees. Too often the coffee shops sell stale overly processed pastries which taste nothing like the real thing. Here you can get the genuine article and this is pretty rare.

Didn't plan to go here for breakfast but decided to as we were passing, the door was open and it looked inviting!

Visited as a family for lunch. We cleared our own table....my soup arrived 15 minutes before the other food ..... too be fair it was tasty.... when the streaky bacon arrived the fat wasn’t cooked off - think it had been microwaved which makes it unpleasant..... coffee was covered with scum.

As a stop you can’t get better than Gail’s. The food is always great, especially the breakfast and lunch menus. For example bacon and eggs in a muffin, excellent soups and one of the best sausage rolls I have eaten. Great cakes too. Will be back many more times. Only downside is finding a table and tables could probably be better positioned.

I visited back in May. I was planning on having a quinoa or chia pod, however they were sold out, even though it was quite early in the morning. My next option was porridge, they have a large pot of porridge already made with milk, and I prefer plant "milks". So I went for the avocado toast and to be fair, I did not regret my final decision at all. They clearly know how to make bread as their toasted sourdough was on point. Paired with the delicious creamy smashed avocado with toasted seeds and tomato relish on side (seriously tasty), it was a very filling breakfast. I sadly don't have the money to visit more often, but I think I'd like to return some day.

Met up with a couple of friends for a girlie lunch . We were shown to a great table not rushed at all . Had a great choice of wine and drinks for us and we choose lots of things to share as we gossiped . It was clean and tidy and all staff we encountered were friendly especially Penni the manager . Such a shame it’s closing we will have to find a new place to lunch . Thank you

I have coffee in Costa every day, sometimes twice. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Love it.

How is this place still open? Major damp/mould problems means it STINKS and must be a genuine health hazard. Incredibly miserable manager (landlord?) who rolled his eyes when he saw us waiting at the bar. A real shame, it used to be a great spot for sport. I won’t be going back. Farnham is full of pubs that are far better and healthier than this one.

We came to the Inn on the lake for a Wake. We had a lovely experience even for a very sad occasion. Right from the first phone call, we received such compassionate service. We couldn't fault anything, the welcome we all received, the food, the actual venue. They met all our needs, and we were so grateful. A very big thank you has to go to Nicky for all of her help and kind words.
