ABOUT
Gatineau, based in the heart of Summertown, Oxford, offers exceptional artisan produce inspired by the finest French and European patisserie and boulangerie traditions. Everything is handmade in-house, from delicate cakes, chocolates, and pastries to savoury items and a wide range of freshly baked breads, all crafted with premium ingredients, creativity, and precision.
In addition to their Summertown shop, Gatineau operates the Baker’s Yard Mobile Café in Kidlington, serving fresh coffee, French viennoiserie, bread, sandwiches, and hot toasties, perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch.
Gatineau also specialises in bespoke wedding cakes, traditional French croquembouche, macaron towers, and personalised cakes for special occasions.
Their wholesale service supplies many well-known cafés and businesses across Oxfordshire, including 2 North Parade, Branca Deli, The Market Garden, Society Café, Tree Artisan Café, Brew, and Colombia Coffee Roasters and more.
Their online shop is open for collection and home delivery >> www.gatineau.uk.com/shop
Check out Rosie’s interview with Debora on the blog, and how they adapted their business during the first COVID lockdown here. You can also find Gatineau in the round up of The Best Cafes in Oxford on the Independent Oxford blog.
At Gatineau we don’t produce anything that we wouldn’t eat ourselves. It gives us great joy to work in a place where we can serve amazing fresh products to our clients. They even say that they struggle to find the same quality when they go away to France – so we must be doing something right for sure! Being in Oxford means that we also have a great variety of people from various backgrounds and countries making it all even more interesting when hiring new staff or even meeting new clients. I think we are very lucky to be positioned in Summertown where there is a great sense of community as well.

Gatineau in Summertown = deliciousness. Throughout lockdown they delivered vital cake to our door (although my waistline is now questionable). The most delicious patisseries, they also do birthday messages….and available for pick up in store or delivery.

If you want incredible bread, pastries and patisserie, you must make a trip to Gatineau. My favourites are Le Biskelia, Brioche stuffed with Vanilla Cream and their perfect Madeleines. Gatineau’s outside seating is a great spot to enjoy a cup of Missing Bean coffee and a pastry.

Delicious pastries and baked goods. The to-go place for high quality patisserie!
– Milly Barr, Owner at Colombia Coffee Roasters
My partner and I are thorough foodies. Oxford has so many exciting independent coffee shops, restaurants, and eateries we visit regularly and genuinely love. Gatineau is one of our favourites. Their cakes are not only delicious but also constructed beautifully. Sometimes, we dream about their gluten free ginger cookies. Yes, we love them that much.
