Really enjoyed our first time visit today, best vegan Ice cream we have tasted, we tried a few ice creams, coffee, choc peanut butter and blueberry, all amazing we also tried a few cakes, could not fault the place.
The owner is friendly and we felt at home as soon as we walked in, has a great vibe, lots of games for the whole family.
Will make it a regular family treat, thanks.
A really nice vegan hidden gem! They do amazing ice cream and cakes :) Has a really chilled and friendly atmosphere, even managed to play Mario Kart after eating here. The staff who was working today was also lovely. Will definitely be back again and would recommend to anyone, vegan or not! xx
Found this place late on friday night after looking for better dessert option when the resturant we went to had a lack luster dessert menu.
Neither me nor my family are vegan but that didn't matter as the ice cream was still delicious and the atmosphere was so cozy and friendly. I definitely wish the place was a little more local as I would definitely love to go back there maybe a little earlier to enjoy the huge selection of board games.
Treated myself to a delicious slice of chocolate orange cake and at £2 it was reasonably priced. I was a bit worried it'd be dry or wouldn't taste quite right (being vegan) but it was perfect. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, dessert parlours don't get better than this.
My new fave place in the whole world!! Been vegan 8 months and didn't know where to go for yummy cakes and stuff and now I've found it! - such a cool place!
I can't believe the ice creams are dairy-free, to be honest! I had high hopes from reading all the reviews and I was not disappointed. Plus it was a real treat to find somewhere that will use oat milk
Absolutely fantastic cakes, the chocolates were delicious, and, as I mentioned, the ice cream was out of this world! A really lovely little place: welcoming atmosphere, child-friendly, and all cruelty-free to boot. My kids and I are still on a sugar high
Nicest place to hang out in Manchester. With the greatest ice cream and the best staff!
I love the Ice Shack! Not only is everything delicious but the atmosphere is so relaxed. They have retro games, includingthe old Nintendo Mario Cart and Jenga. The owner is also super nice.
It is also extremely dog friendly. The owner has vegan dog treats for his 4 legged guests and the dogs are even allowed on the furniture just like they would be at home (because who are we kidding, of course they are allowed at home).
I could easily spend hours in there and I have.
Great place for everybody.
Absolutely fantastic!! Great find. I have an egg allergy so prevents me from having most deserts. This place is like a little haven. Was unsure what to expect as I've never had any vegan deserts. I didn't feel like anything was missing. Simply perfect. Lovely atmosphere, very cosy and quaint. Definitely would recommend and will probably become a regular �
I and my wife visited today Ice Shack. Very nice place and kind staff guy who working there. Delicious ice cream, big choice and chill atmosphere. We'll come back again and recommend!
We visited this week with my two children who were beside themselves to discover Ice Shack is fully vegan and could choose anything off the menu. We had an ice cream cookie sandwich, waffles and an ice cream cone and everything was delicious. Plus the guy serving was so lovely and friendly.
The kids have asked to come back every day since! We will definitely visit as often as possible.

Came yesterday for the 1st time after lotus kitchen. Gorgeous ice cream and friendly staff. Little treasure of a shop. Will be back very soon but think my Weimeranar is too big for the shop ���
Fantastic, friendly place with a huge array of vegan sugar-rush food. (The Oreo cake is to die for.) Comfy sofas and board games, too. I think I'd actually like to live here! When can I move in?
Had the 5 scoop dog bowl ...wow ... amazing flavours :) highly recommend trying this wonderful place :) can't wait for my next visit
Please never stop making the raspberry crumble! One of the best ice creams I’ve ever had (including dairy). Love coming here for great ice cream, lovely staff, board games and chilled out atmosphere.
amazing vegan ice cream shop! very lovely staff and tasty food!
I visited the Ice Shack recently for the first time with my partner and 2 young children. I was thoroughly impressed by the breadth of choice and the quality of everything we tried. The children shared an ice cream, my partner and I had cake and hot drinks and I bought some truffles to take away. Definitely the tastiest vegan desserts I've ever had!!! Even my partner who is usually not keen on vegan food was impressed. Reasonably priced too. Just a shame you're so far away from where we live but no doubt we'll be back!
Excellant vegan dog food. Rusty loves it so much that its gone in seconds. I mixed it in with his usual food and he ate all the vegan food and left his normal biscuits. 10/10 :)
I loved all the Halloween themed cakes. I had a slice of the fearfetti with a scoop of pistachio ice cream and it was delicious.
The service was amazing, atmosphere was super friendly.
I was supporting a gentleman with hearing impairment who has trouble modulating his speaking volume but nobody made us feel worried or bad about this which was lovely.
Also love the LGBTQIA+ welcoming vibe and the awesome wall art and decor.
See you soon ice shack 😋
Manchester is home to many great vegan places, but none quite compare to this one. From the incredible range of ice cream flavours to the delectable cakes, Iceshack does away with any compromise between visuals and taste, instead overachieving in both with every creation. But it's not just the food, ambiance, service, or sense of community that kept me coming back. It's the feeling of home that you get, no matter if it's your first visit or you are a regular. Iceshack has set an impossibly high standard for me, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Massive selection of ice cream and cakes. The ice creams can be made into milkshakes too! Lots of board games and relaxed feel. Went with non vegans and they didn't realise it was all vegan!
Great experience - a nice cosy and relaxed cafe with heavenly vegan cakes, ice-cream and chocolates. The oreo cake was the best vegan sponge I've ever had and probably in my top 3 of any cake ever! They also do cakes to order if you've an event coming up - the cake was very well received at a recent party we had regardless of whether people were vegan or not!
Ice shack is THE place to get ice cream, cake, hot drinks etc. All of the cakes and the majority of the ice-creams/sorbets are homemade. This dedicated passion for the café is matched with the warm energy and friendly attitude by the staff.
The cakes are not only some of the best I've ever tasted, but some of the icing artwork is outstanding. It's colourful and welcoming vibe makes it somewhere I go when I need some self-care, aided by the affordability.
The only negative is that it's not on the high street and so people don't know what they're missing!
Gluten free options available, dog friendly and suitable for families.
Absolutely love this place it's a hidden gem of Manchester , of you're looking for vegan ice-cream ,cakes and coffees this is the place ! They have a nice area to sit and chill and work on your laptop , there's even a Nintendo 64 to play super Mario carts with your pals !
The owners are absolutely lovely and it's a great place to meet other vegan people too ,
Located in withington just near the library
Cozy shop with yummy offerings. We tried the waffle ice cream sandwich (to die for) - the cinnamon maple marzipan ice cream is amazing! The coconut pistachio ice cream is so lovely too. Everything is Vegan and perfect. Friendly hosts too ❤ We are from London and happy we found Ice Shack. We also got a slice of the Chocolate peanut butter cake and Caramel cheesecake. All were heavenly.
Fantastic place desserts are absolutely delicious and locally made vegan ice cream was amazing. Leah the new owner was really friendly and welcoming would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting a nice place for a chill and some delicious vegan dessert
