Australia’s iconic chocolatey biscuit, is landing in London’s bakery scene this May with a limited-edition collaboration alongside Copains, the celebrated Parisian bakery known for its premium, 100% gluten-free take on classic French patisserie. Creating the most indulgent, gluten-free pastry of our dreams, the Tim Tam x Copains Babka (£8.50), will be available throughout May in support of Coeliac Awareness Month.
Available exclusively from 13th May until the end of the month at Copains’ Covent Garden and Islington bakeries, the collaboration reimagines the delicious Australian chocolatey biscuit through the lens of the French patisserie, bringing together two devoted fanbases in one moreish, must-try coeliac-friendly bake.
At the heart of the launch is a rich, sweet, braided babka layered with ribbons of chocolate and studded with pieces of Tim Tam Gluten Free biscuit throughout, finished with a swirl of chocolate ganache and topped with crunchy Tim Tam Gluten Free pieces. The result is a deeply indulgent, bakery-crafted twist on a classic, designed to deliver on flavour and texture in every bite.
Amber Dutkiewicz, Market Development Manager UK&I at Arnott’s, said: “Coeliac Awareness Month is an important moment to spotlight the need for more exciting gluten-free options. We’ve been blown away by how much Brits love Tim Tam Gluten Free in stores and partnering with Copains has allowed us to take our biscuit into a completely new space, reimagining what indulgence can look like for gluten-free consumers.”
Titouan Robert Ravoire, from Copains, said: “As a 100% gluten-free French bakery, we’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in free-from baking. This collaboration with Tim Tam brings a sense of fun, nostalgia and creativity to our craft, and we’re excited to share it with London this May.”
Founded in Paris and having recently arrived in London in November 2025, Copains has quickly built a following for its premium, 100% gluten-free take on a classic French patisserie, making it the perfect partner for this tasty treat in celebration of Coeliac Awareness Month.
The Tim Tam x Copains Babka will be available from May 13 – 31 at Copains Covent Garden and Islington stores, priced at £8.50. Expect queues.
