Lovely place - Edit
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.

Spectacularly Good Vegan Ice-Cream & More! - Edit
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!
Read moreThere'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!

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 :)

Superb - Edit
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.

Great ice-cream, great service. - Edit
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! - Edit
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.
Read morePros: All vegan and delicious , Super friendly staff , Cute and quirky

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.
