About Gatineau
An independent French-style patisserie and bakery on Banbury Road in Summertown, north Oxford. Breads and pastries are made on the premises from French flours, with a range that includes sourdough, ciabatta, classic French loaves and brioche. The French influence shows in the viennoiserie: croissants, pains au chocolat and crusty baguettes. It is particularly known for sourdough, ciabatta, French loaves and brioche.
Doors are open on 6 days each week (it shuts on Monday). It opens as early as 7am, handy for a pre-work loaf or coffee. It also opens on Sundays, which is not a given for UK bakeries. The Food Standards Agency register lists a hygiene rating of 5/5, awarded on 2 July 2026 by Oxford City.
The closest station, Oxford station, is 1.6 mi away, so most visitors arrive by car, bus or bike.
