Vegan heaven

I discovered pixie on social media and a few weeks prior to a trip away slightly stalked their socials and knew it was a must visit with changing specials each week A family run business, fresh Homemade goodies and high quality 100% vegetarian and 90% vegan

A little Gem in the town and Talented bakers
Supporting local suppliers selling a variety of products too

I went after doing the Glossop plane wreckage walk with my family and certainly worked up an appetite and was scared i wouldn’t make it n time before they closed due to getting lost

Made it and It was a lovely sunny day , secured a window seat , chatted to other customers and stroked some doggos , Emily was patient and so understanding when I ordered as I got in a bit of a pickle yet made to feel at ease

Now onto the feast , prior to going I browsed the menu and torn what to get but couldn’t resist their panini special , along with their carrot lentil soup and a vegan cheesy scone , loaded bean nachos with all the toppings , not forgetting the bread factory sourdough they get delivered paired with marmalade and spread

Everything was amazing, if reserved cakes earlier in the day too as I was eager to get dibs , the mud pie was nothing I’ve had before and layers of mousse , Oreo tiffin was tasty , cherry Bakewell is a classic and can’t resist sprinkle cake

As it was the week after Easter I was sad to miss their previous goodies but when I spotted they still had the hot cross bunny latte I k we what drink to get and super cute , well spiced along with a complimentary Biscoff to dunk , extra points

I returned the next day to purchase a cool sounding jam from an independent baker as I couldn’t stop thinking about it and wished Emily happy birthday

A must visit cafe they also do postal , you can’t not try their bakes heads up on their Wednesday drop and save the date

Pros: Can adapt vegan , Friendly staff, Food

Cons: It’s too far from me

Best vegan cakes

As a vegan baker myself I was absolutely blown away by how decadent and indulgent these cakes were.

The more alternative milks they sell the more they donate to an animal sanctuary 🥺

Honestly wish I lived closer! Please go you won't regret it!

Pros: Tasty, Affordable , Friendly staff

Amazing vegan cakes

A cute family owned business with vegan cakes, ice cream, milkshakes and a breakfast and lunch menu. The cakes change from day to day so there's always a good variety of vegan things to try, and their ideas are always so unique. They even do vegan dog scones and dog birthday cakes!

Great lunch. Great value

So glad I called in to Pixie Bakes on my way back from hiking in the Peaks. Coffee was a life saver, and my vegan mac’n’cheese was a delight. Rich, creamy (and crunchie bits) with a fab side salad and lovely zingy dressing with a piece of garlic sourdough to die for. Many thanks.

Pros: Moorish food, Great coffee, Friendly service and atmosphere.

Lovely food

I've been here loads of times and really enjoyed the food and drinks. I've had the vegan Mac and cheese, salad bowls, pate on toast and cakes. Everything was delicious. I really recommend the Mac and cheese. It's dog friendly too.

(Almost) perfect cafe and bakery

Pixie Bakes is in the perfect spot to reward yourself after a nice long walk around the Longendale reservoirs, it has a great menu which has lots of options that can be veganified, in fact I think it's almost all veganable?

The cake selection is often quite intimidating, with at least 50% vegan options, and they did have a vegan Mr. Whippy machine in action at one point, hopefully that'll be back when the weather warms up.

The only con is, if the weather's unpleasant (which can be quite often in this neck of the woods) then there's not much indoor seating and the outdoor umbrella does little to rainproof the seating there! Though it's not usually too much of a wait for a seat.

Also, to me, it feels like they should just go fully vegan, I know that's a daunting idea for a business and they might worry the lack of dairy milk for beverages might alienate lots of loyal customers, so I get it if that's the reason, but I know that people make the trip just for Pixie Bakes, and going 100% plant based would be the cherry on an almost perfect vegan cake!

Pros: Almost everything can be made vegan (except cakes), At least half the cakes are vegan though , Near to some lovely walks

Cons: Limited seating

Amazing

This is a small, cosy place (two tables, a row of stools by the window, with additional outside seating). When we went they had two vegan mains, three vegan cakes.

Delicious coffee and cake

Popped in last week for a coffee and cake with a friend. Wow! They have so many vegan options savoury and sweet instead of just one option which I'm use to! Will definitely be calling in again.
