Ice Shack - Manchester

This small ice cream shop is fantastic, serving incredible cake, including gluten-free options. The review was updated on March 1, 2024.

The cakes here are amazing! They are well priced and the selection is always changing. They have a massive variety of ice cream and cakes with some inventive flavours. A wide range of herbal teas which is a plus! The customer service is outstanding the staff are friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!! Loads of fun board games to play! Edit: had to update my post to recommend the tiramisu cake (one of my favourite vegan cakes ever). If it is on display when you go definitely get a slice (or two) Updated from previous review on 2023 09 02

This was our third visit to this restaurant (we are not locals) and my 8-year-old is already asking if we can come back again next time we are in Manchester! We enjoyed Halloween-inspired cakes (large slices) paired with delicious hot drinks. However, the highlight of our visit was the extensive selection of ice creams with various flavors. We opted for unique flavors like cinnamon and pumpkin pie, with the cinnamon being particularly delightful. The kids had a great time playing with the wide range of games available, ensuring they stayed entertained. Located on a small street near Withington Library, the restaurant is conveniently close to several bus routes which stop outside or nearby, making it easily accessible for those relying on public transport. A definite must-visit for our next trip to Manchester.

Amazing ice cream at a reasonable price with incredibly friendly staff and a nice environment

Love it here. Such a cool community vibe. They’ve just moved units to around the corner and they’re hosting more events. Not to mention it’s really fairly priced. One of Withington’s vegan gems
