Great cakes great vibe

I've been coming here since it opened and the cakes have been consistently delicious šŸ˜‹. Really lovely staff and I'm super pleased it's still going strong. I buy a selection of cakes as close to Christmas day as possible and have them as desert, they always go down a treat with vegans and non vegans alike.

Pros: Great range of vegan cakes, Delicious savoury food

This is what being vegan is all about...

It is a lovely business. I've now been on three occasions. Every time the staff made me feel welcome - no matter how busy it is. A wide selection for bakery/cakery style foods. Go early for choice, because the food does disappear by the end of the day. That's a sign of a successful small place, in my opinion. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommended.

Pros: Good food, Great atmosphere, Amazing staff

Cons: Good food goes fast (not really a con), Cosy when quiet, often busy (also not a con), Do I have to provide three cons?

Amazing

I love this place so much. Consistently amazing cakes and tray bakes and really lovely staff. I'm gutted I no longer live locally, they do some of the best vegan cakes I've ever had

Fantastic cake and light savoury meals

We had amazing pie and calzone, followed by some delicious cake - the pecan one is stunning! They also have a wide range of vegan snacks and other products, like vegan tuna and salmon.

Cake!

I've never actually eaten in here, but I've had a few cakes to take away and I particularly recommend the pecan slice! Amazing. I defy anyone to eat it all in one go though.

Pros: Cakes, Staff are lovely, You can buy other bits and pieces like cheeze

Delicious cakes

Lovely place in a great pedestrianised area with fab independent shops etc. As well as having high chairs and tall tables for enjoying cake and drinks, there are some savoury options, thereā€™s a section for grocery shopping.

The true meaning of Christmas...

... is a cheeze and hamm toastie and peanut butter brownie on a drizzly day in December. It was such a nice surprise to come across this treasure trove of vegan goodness on Hillgate in Stockport. Really friendly staff who gave me some good Christmas recipe ideas too. The food was an absolute bargain. Highly recommend!

Pros: Food was delicious , Also a deli selling hard-to-find vegan ingredients, The guy running it was lovely!

Perfection!

Partner had a Sausage Roll Wellington with gravy and I had Cauliflower Soup with naan. Just so delicious! After we shared a Biscoff blondie.
Coffee and tea was superb!

My partner is omni and he said he found the food delicious and was already talking about going again next time weā€™re near by. So thats an extra plus if youā€™re going with non-vegans.

I also picked up some groceries as they stock a range of vegan food and cooking supplies. #Veganuary

Pros: All vegan, All tasty, Very friendly

I budgeted for around 16 pounds today and didn't mind beiNg skint in the future by spending 12 pounds on three meals and the hot chocolate I saught

The owner Simon is empowering a magnificence of brilliance each an every day an I can't wait to revisit

Pros: Could sense death siezed, My memory of other hot chocolates have seased, They give out free šŸ­ lollys

Cons: Greggs, Mcdonalds, Fried šŸ” FC k f c

Vegan cake heaven

An absolute must-visit if you're in Stockport. The cakes are always lush, they do hot food now and they also have a small selection of vegan cupboard food/ingredients and confectionary. It's near to some great indie shops too, so you can make a good afternoon of it!

Delicious cake, friendly owners

Popped in for coffee and cake with my SO. We both had a giant slice of chocolate and cherry cake. So big we could have shared one between us - we ended up taking leftovers home!

The owners are happy to sit and chat and when they learned we were new to Stockport gave us lots of recommendations for other nice places to visit.

They sell a plethora of cakes, including gluten free options, plus a nice range of vegan bagged sweets (including marshmallows!), books etc.

Will definitely be returning!

Pros: Amazing cake, Friendly staff, Lovely setting
