With its warm atmosphere, fine cuisine, and handmade products, Maison Oddo is a must-visit in Hull. More than a bakery and pastry shop, it’s a true gourmet destination where local products and seasonal flavours take centre stage. Whether you stop by for a coffee, lunch, a pastry, or dessert, every visit is a wonderful opportunity to discover local craftsmanship.
Maison Oddo is a bakery and pastry shop that has set the bar high in terms of values, flavours, and quality since 2019.
The name “Maison” refers to traditional European shops where product quality and respect for craftsmanship are at the heart of everything they do. “Oddo” is Benjamin’s surname. The passionate owner is originally from France. By choosing this name, he pays tribute to his roots while affirming a clear vision: to offer high-quality, artisanal baked goods and pastries.
Step inside and let the smell of warm bread and coffee, along with the delicacy of the pastries, entice you.
At Maison Oddo, every bite tells a story filled with values. It’s a story of local roots, respect for the product, and a love of taste.
Since its inception, the bakery and pastry shop has relied primarily on ingredients sourced from regional producers. This is an important value for Benjamin, who is committed to maintaining a steady supply without ever compromising quality.
For Maison Oddo, the key is carefully selecting quality raw ingredients, which form the foundation of each creation. This attention to raw ingredients allows the team to create unique and surprising products.
Its goal? First, to create something good, and then to make it beautiful. Maison Oddo is an experience that focuses as much on visual pleasure as it does on culinary emotion. When you bite into a lemon tart, it should either remind you of your grandmother’s or create a new, equally memorable experience.
At Maison Oddo, they cook to revive memories and create new ones.
Within a few years, Maison Oddo would like to open a terrace and dining room. A second location is also planned on Saint-Joseph Boulevard to enhance the customer experience from the moment they walk through the door.
As Benjamin aptly puts it:
“Creativity isn’t about doing what’s never been done before; it’s about doing what everyone else does, but differently.”
Let yourself be tempted by Maison Oddo’s featured products. Their breads were already known for their exceptional quality long before the owner won an award at the Lauriers de la gastronomie.
The miche is one of their classic products and best sellers. Carefully crafted from 100% homemade sourdough and stone-ground organic flour from Les Moulins de Charlevoix, it is the result of several months of development to perfect the recipe. Every morning, many regular customers start their day with a slice of this authentic bread.
Those with a sweet tooth shouldn’t miss their lemon tart. Balanced and refreshing, it is another must-try at this gourmet destination.
Here, the seasons directly inspire the team’s creations. Depending on the harvest, the display cases fill with desserts, pastries, and savoury dishes showcasing the best local products.
Throughout the seasons, the team features strawberries and raspberries from Potager Eardley, vegetables from Labelle & St-Amour – Ferme maraîchère in Ripon, chicken from Saveurs des Monts, and products from Ferme Moreau, including ham and chorizo. Maison Oddo also works with Happy Bee, Verger Croque-Pomme, Courges et cie, and Les Moulins de Charlevoix.
For Maison Oddo, the key is selecting high-quality ingredients to offer unique and surprising creations while shortening the supply chain to guarantee optimal freshness. This commitment to local producers is at the heart of its identity.
At Thanksgiving, for instance, squash and apples take centre stage in warm, comforting pastries.
At Christmas, their famous Yule log is the star of the show and quickly flies off the shelves. Hurry—they go fast!
For Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, you can expect cakes specially designed to please them.
Each season becomes a creative playground where imagination and local products come together.
Catering services are also available for corporate events, with orders taken 48 hours in advance. The team would also like to expand this service to include weddings and other events.
When you walk into Maison Oddo, it’s hard not to let your eyes get bigger than your stomach. Everything looks good enough to eat!
To help you choose, here is a selection of our favourites that you won’t want to miss.
Let yourself be tempted by their maple escargot: a crispy puff pastry shaped like a small snail, inspired by its spiral shell and generously filled with flowing maple syrup.
Try their croissant as well. It may look simple, but the puff pastry is impeccable. Its thin, golden layers give it just the right amount of crispness without ever being dry. A perfectly mastered classic.
Fall in love with the olive fougasse, which has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft centre. The sesame and poppy seed ficelle breads stand out for their unique taste and texture.
For a savoury option, try the homemade pizzas, which offer an explosion of flavours thanks to their thin crust and fresh toppings. We particularly like the classic Margherita. Finally, enjoy it all with an iced latte prepared with meticulously balanced espresso.
