Coming in at number 1 on a list of the top 5 vegan bakeries in Manchester is Ice Shack.
It’s surprisingly hard to find vegan ice cream in a lot of places (and I mean ice cream, not sorbet), but Ice Shack is FULL of it.
Want to make your own Vegan ice cream?
Aside from a BIG range of non-dairy ice cream, you can find truffles, cookies, waffles, cakes, homemade chocolate bars and “milk” shakes at Ice Shack!
In all my time working in vegan food, I’ve never seen a vegan bakery offering such original products.
Product Range: I’m practically tearing up at how many ice cream flavours I could choose from at Ice Shack. There is a whopping 23 ice cream flavours, including Mocha, Caramel Cookies and Earl Grey (there are even more sorbet, chocolate bar and truffle flavours!).
You can also enjoy their HUGE range of cake, cookie and truffle flavours—10/10 for options.
Prices: £ – With cookies and waffles being just £1.25- £2 a pop, you can certainly enjoy a vegan treat at Ice Shack if you’re on a budget!

The Black Cat Cakery makes vegan cakes simple and good.
Each cake is handmade to order, and ingredients are ethically sourced. If you’ve got a celebration that requires a vegan cake, the Black Cat Cakery can cater to your every need, including additional dietary requirements such as gluten-free or free refined cane sugar-free.
Product Range: With a whopping 20+ flavours of cake and brownie on their menu, they are doing very well in offering a wide range of cakes. There are so many I simply can’t list them all here!
Some of the nicest sounding cakes (according to me lol) are:
Prices: ££ – Each cake is 10 inches round and handmade, so it’s hardly surprising that their products cost around £35. This is a lot cheaper than UK chains that offer custom 10-inch cakes, which can be £45++, so you’re getting a really good deal.

Established in 2013, number 3 on our list of the top 5 vegan bakeries in Manchester is Tea Time Collective.

Product Range: It’s another whopper guys! Their menu offers 28 flavours of cake, 7 tray bakes and 11 kinds of doughnut. Gin and Tonic with Lime is one of their most unique cake flavours!
Prices: £-££ Depending on what you order, you can spend £3 or £40 at tea time collective. A single doughnut is £3, whereas a 9-inch cake costs £40.

Okay, so I know Idle Hands is a coffee shop, but they sell so many amazing vegan bakes I felt I had to include them on our list of the top 5 vegan bakeries in Manchester!
Idle Hands offers the people of Manchester fresh pies, brunch, natural wine and craft beer (as well as a bunch of vegan treats!).
Product Range: Naturally, there are fewer vegan products on the menu at Idle Hands compared with a dedicated vegan bakery, but there is still lots to choose from, including their vegan cherry pie and vegan salted caramel pie (I want both, lol).
Prices: £-££ Brunch a coffee won’t set you back more than £15 at Idle Hands, a slice of pie is even less!
