The best cake I have ever had!

I have started going at least once a week to experience the godsend that are the cakes. I have orders a cake before for an celebration and everyone loved it! The ice cream is also amazing, and so are the staff!

Lovely place

I went in to get some pieces of cake for my birthday, and was happily surprised by the wide range of options. All cakes are vegan, and some also gluten free. They look amazing and taste even better.
The staff is super friendly, definitely a must-visit whenever you find yourself in Manchester. Also easily accesible by bus.

Spectacularly Good Vegan Ice-Cream & More!

Got to Ice Shack quite late on a Sunday, but there was still a good selection of ice-cream available - phew! - though it's a place that deserves to sell out everyday, that's how delicious their ice-cream is!

There's also a good selection of games, and the atmosphere was so lovely and friendly. If were more local we'd be in here all the time I'm sure! But we're already looking forward to making the trip and coming back soon.

Pros: Delicious ice-cream, Really friendly staff, Lots of games and other stuff!

Everything is really fairly priced, there's no vegan markup,

Staff are absolutely lovely people.

Seating area is cute and cosy!

Pros: Delicious!, Fairly priced, Great place and staff

Cons: A few ice crystals in icecream-still delicious!

Best vegan desserts bar in the North of England!

Best warned - Ice Shack will make you gain many many calories. Ice Shack has amazing vegan desserts - cakes, ice creams, smoothies, chocolate balls, cheesecakes. Plus there's lots of games for you to have fun playing with your friends. Enjoy loads!

Pros: Fully vegan desserts bar, Cheap

Cons: High in calories, Addictive

Forever Favourite

Best vegan café in Manchester hands down. I come back whenever I can and I love it every time. I took three people today and then we all had to sit and chill for a while because we'd eaten so much sugar - lucky the place is so comfy :)
We got cake, cookie, milkshake, and ice cream, and we loved it all.

Superb

I tried the Oreo cake, which brought mouth-watering memories back in vegan version, and it’s to die for. The ice cream is a delight as well and the cone is highly recommended. The prices are surprising in a positive way, and as an extra the place has many board games to play there and a great atmosphere.

Pros: Cakes, Ice cream, Lots of board games to play!!!

Great ice-cream, great service.

A bit out of the way and randomly located, but well worth the trip. The ice-cream is great and the venue is just lovely - friendly with a community feel. The service is personal and cheerful and it feels like more than just a café.

Wow, a hidden gem!

This place is lovely and perhaps in the most random of places!! Whoever served us yesterday afternoon (sorry we didn’t get your name) was so lovely with us, and he was really kind and patient when we couldn’t decide what to have for so long! I so wish I’d got pictures, but I had a cookie (amazing like you said!) with a scoop of sugar rush ice cream and bubblegum syrup. My boyfriend had a biscoff milkshake and he loved it. This place is amazing so quirky and cute with hundreds of options.

Pros: All vegan and delicious , Super friendly staff , Cute and quirky

Cons: I don’t live close enough lol!

Great value for money

Had a lovely salted caramel milkshake and cinnamon cake! Woulda eaten a lot more if there was much left for cake options when I got there! Still good choices but clearly a busy enough place during the day.

Pros: It’s all vegan woo, Cheap!, Yummy

Cons: Couldn’t see any pastry’s

Love this place

A hidden gem offering delicious vegan cakes and ice creams. Cosy, comfortable environment - it feels like you've gone for coffee and cake in a friends living room. What's not to like?

Pros: Plenty of choice, friendly service., Comfortable setting, good value for money.

Amazing ice cream, really lovely staff

The ice cream is delicious and always loads to choose from (I particularly recommend the blueberry flavour). Great cakes, chocolates, milkshakes and cookies too. The staff are really lovely and make the cafe a really wonderful, welcoming place to spend time.
