Beeeautiful carrot cake and lovely owners

We went in today and had cake and coffee. The owner is a lovely person and super helpful.

I had the carrot cake which was absolutely gorgeous and my husband had a vegan pepperoni mini calzone which he loved.

Great little place in the heart of Stockport.

The best in Stockport !

Cannot fault the cakes in this place. I ordered 2 for my 30th a few years ago and will be doing the same for my 35th coming up. The savoury snacks and food here as well as the little shop is fantastic. The owner is always very friendly too.

Best vegan cafe for me

Love going to Hillgate Cakery when I’m in Stockport. Their ‘cream cheese and smoked salmon’ bagels are my favourite, and I love their pies too. Always spoilt for choice with their cakes. Friendly and welcoming place.

Hard to beat

This place does the nicest vegan baked slices I’ve ever had. I enjoy their cakes as well but the pecan slice is what I’d write home about. Their pies and bagels are lovely too so no need to only go for a sweet treat. Super friendly as well

Always exceptional

Can’t fault them in anyway. The food and drinks are always amazing and Simon is so lovely to talk to! There’s so many lunch options to choose from including pie peas and gravy, calzones, sausage rolls, loads of bagel options! Also the cakes are to die for

Pros: Affordable , Delicious , Fresh

Incredible sweet and savoury food

Creative selection of bakes, both sweet and savoury. Over my weekend I went twice and sampled: biscoff blondie, banana bread, pecan pie, and pepperoni calzone. There was a selection of bagels available that I unfortunately didn't get around to trying but all sounded delicious!
Also had some vegan foods being sold, like seitan, cheezes, marshmallows and other sweets.

Pros: Creative bakes, homemade, Friendly staff

Cons: None

Great cakes great vibe

I've been coming here since it opened and the cakes have been consistently delicious 😋. Really lovely staff and I'm super pleased it's still going strong. I buy a selection of cakes as close to Christmas day as possible and have them as desert, they always go down a treat with vegans and non vegans alike.

Pros: Great range of vegan cakes, Delicious savoury food

Fantastic cake and light savoury meals

We had amazing pie and calzone, followed by some delicious cake - the pecan one is stunning! They also have a wide range of vegan snacks and other products, like vegan tuna and salmon.

Cake!

I've never actually eaten in here, but I've had a few cakes to take away and I particularly recommend the pecan slice! Amazing. I defy anyone to eat it all in one go though.

Pros: Cakes, Staff are lovely, You can buy other bits and pieces like cheeze

Delicious cakes

Lovely place in a great pedestrianised area with fab independent shops etc. As well as having high chairs and tall tables for enjoying cake and drinks, there are some savoury options, there’s a section for grocery shopping.

The true meaning of Christmas...

... is a cheeze and hamm toastie and peanut butter brownie on a drizzly day in December. It was such a nice surprise to come across this treasure trove of vegan goodness on Hillgate in Stockport. Really friendly staff who gave me some good Christmas recipe ideas too. The food was an absolute bargain. Highly recommend!

Pros: Food was delicious , Also a deli selling hard-to-find vegan ingredients, The guy running it was lovely!

Perfection!

Partner had a Sausage Roll Wellington with gravy and I had Cauliflower Soup with naan. Just so delicious! After we shared a Biscoff blondie.
Coffee and tea was superb!

My partner is omni and he said he found the food delicious and was already talking about going again next time we’re near by. So thats an extra plus if you’re going with non-vegans.

I also picked up some groceries as they stock a range of vegan food and cooking supplies. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, All tasty, Very friendly
