Popular Oxfordshire cake shop returning to Oxford city centre
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 13:02 · Archive
The Cake Shop, founded in Oxford in 1986, is reopening in the city centre from mid-November at 3 Golden Cross. The bakery left its long-standing home in Oxford's Covered Market in May 2024 after 38 years, relocating to larger premises at 3 Mill Walk in Witney.
At the time of its departure, the business cited traffic restrictions, access issues, the Zero Emission Zone, structural problems and high rents as reasons for leaving its city-centre base. Oxford City Council said it was sorry to see the business go, with many residents viewing its departure as the end of an era.
The new unit occupies a location in Golden Cross, a historic covered shopping arcade linking Cornmarket Street and the Covered Market. Customers will be able to buy everyday cakes and personalised products in-store, while bespoke cake orders will continue through a consultation service.
