TOP 5 VEGAN BAKERIES IN MANCHESTER

2. In our never-ending quest to discover the best vegan food across the UK, we’re going back up north to find the top 5 vegan bakeries in Manchester! So, if you’re interested in vegan sweets, ethical and plant-based baked goods in Manchester, look no further.

3. 1. Ice Shack, Withington 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. 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

5. 2. The Black Cat Cakery, Ardwick 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!

6. 3. Tea Time Collective, Hulme Aside from offering custom vegan cakes, they also offer delicious vegan doughnuts! There really is something for everyone in Manchester. 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!

7. 4. Idle Hands, Northern Quarter 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).

8. 5. Pieminister, Northern Quarter One of the great things about Pieminster’s plant-based pies is that Pieminister donates towards planting more trees when you buy a vegan pie! Product Range: There is a healthy menu of around 9 delicious vegan options to choose from, including their ‘Evergreen’ veggie-packed pie and an Indian inspired chickpea, spinach and sweet potato curry patty.
