Hillgate Cakery in Stockport

Such a lovely little spot! Literally popped in there on the morning I’m writing this and grabbed two bagels and a dirty chai latte. The Carrot lox and cream cheese is SOOO good, for two non-vegans, me and my gf could not believe how like smoked salmon it tasted! The staff that served me today (I’m guessing you’re the owners guys!) were so lovely and had so much time to talk to me even though they’d just opened up. For any short-staying travelers in Stockport, GO HERE, it’s such a lovely little spot in what I’m finding is such a lovely town.

Amazing vegan cakes and pastry, lovely staff, we keep coming back. Loving the beetroot chai!

Always amazing service from these guys, great vegan food and very well priced! A must visit in Stockport. Very glad to have visited again after two years, coming from Manchester! They even gave me some great tips for Stockport and what's new in the area!

A delight as always! Delicious cakes and coffee and everyone in there feels like your friend!

I ordered a chocolate and orange celebration cake from Hillgate Cakery recently. Everything was excellent, from ease of ordering and communication, the collection (where they even helped me get the cake safely into a taxi!), and of course, the cake itself. It was so delicious and lots of it as I went for the 8" with a message on top! I'll definitely use them again if I need to order a cake in future.

It's very homey and sweet,amazing prices for vegan food and the owners are lovely

Incredible sweet and savoury bakes, all homemade. Also has a bagel menu I didn't get to try sadly. Sells some foods like seitan, cheeze, marshmallows, candy, etc.

Enjoyed delicious savoury pastries, excellent coffee and friendly service. What more could you ask for from a local cafe/bakery?

Some of the best cakes I’ve ever tried (vegan or not) Nice atmosphere and service.

A lovely hidden gem! I asked for an order of twelve cupcakes to give as gifts and they were able to provide cheap but beautiful and delicious cakes at a day's notice! Simon was very friendly and the cafe had a nicely decorated interior. I'd highly recommend! Thank you for the cupcakes!

Simon and Sarah are the best !!

Great cakes and lovely drinks. Love to pop in regularly and the owners are very friendly and always great service. Also the vegan bagels are amazing.

Thank you so much for our wonderful wedding cake and cupcakes! We love coming to Hillgate Cakery - the food is delicious and Simon and Sarah are lovely people. We had nothing but positive comments from our guests and none of them could believe it was vegan!

Fantastic place! Amazing cakes, great savoury food and lovely owners. This is what the New Stockport is all about. Ordered a carrot cake for a family party, it was unbelievable and everyone loved it, vegans and non-vegans. Definitely one of the best cakes I've ever had. Thank you very much and see you soon.

Very sophisticated Victoria Sponge cake for my partner’s big birthday! Ordered by email only a couple of days in advance. Thanks Simon.

We went there today first time as we normally travel to vegan coffee shop and ice cream place in Manchester. The staff was 10/10 I can’t fault the guy, the atmosphere was ok however I really didn’t like higher chairs(I don’t find it family friendly) and no drinks/food menu on the wall makes a bit difficult to make a choice… We loved our hot chocolates however Oreo cake was 4/10. The warm food in cabinet looked lovely so we will definitely come back to try more things in the future. Thank you for lovely service and drinks.

Fabulous place!! Wonderful selection of amazing cakes and savouries. So much so it's difficult to decide!.all home baked. Vibrant atmosphere and really welcoming service from Simon. Extra bonus, selection of vegan groceries for sale . Left with a happy tummy and full shopping bag . Will definitely be back. X

Lovely cafe with lots of great sweet and savoury vegan options

Friendly staff and fresh, delicious cakes. Had no survivours for pictures, sorry.

Great vegan cakes and savoury options, customer service always 5*s. Always find new vegan products to try. Wide varieties of coffee and teas.

I've been visiting for years now. Great vegan cake and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. It's still the best cafe in Stockport.

It’s pretty much a one of a kind sort of shop, especially in Stockport — if I had to compare it with anywhere then perhaps The Eighth Day Shop & Cafe in Manchester would be it. The cakes are much better here though…

Discovered this hidden gem of a coffee shop. Really welcoming. Cappuccino and hot choc lovely! Cupcakes and warm chocolate fudge cake delicious, will return!

Stumbled upon this little gem whilst wandering the streets killing time. Great atmosphere with s super-friendly (i'm guessing) owner, who explained all the different teas and delicious cakes, then suggested places to visit within the town in the couple of hours we had spare. A place you shouldn't walk past.

Beautiful vegan bakery Sage + onion roll 🤌

My partner and I visited the cafe on a wet miserable Sunday afternoon. We ordered a bagel, warm chocolate fudge cake, tea and a hot chocolate. Service excellent, really friendly. Food really good. Seemed to be a regular stop for the customers. Would recommend a visit. We are not vegans but very glad we found this gem.

Been coming here for a year now and can safely say it's my favourite place in Stockport, service and food is perfect. Highly recommend!

Best vegan cakery in south Manchester

Have been meaning to have a sit down drink and cake here for some time. The victoria sponge was delicious and a very generous size, and the tea was great with almond milk. Can't wait to go back and check out the savoury menu!

Absolutely brilliant, chilled out artistic venue run/owned by a guy with a calm demeanour. I can highly recommend the Oreo brownies.

cute little vegan place, friendly service, great cakes (especially Oreo🤤) and great milkshakes and coffees! You can buy some savoury pastries to eat in/takeaway as well as some vegan ‘cupboard’ products

I visit this place regularly as it's just so perfect and homely. I'm not a fan of these huge open plan office type coffee places and Hillgate Cakery is certainly not one of those. It's cosy ( but not small) and the owners always take time for a chat even when they are super busy. The coffee is delicious as are all the cakes, biscuits and savoury foods on offer. Very reasonably priced too.

Vegans are always on the look out for a good cake and coffee. Popped in on the off chance on a Sunday and it was delicious. Only a small place but packs a punch with the cake. A few bits of vegan produce in a central stand in the shop, handy. I would definitely recommend this place and it’s worth a bit of a drive x

Popular cafe with the best vegan cakes in Manchester or Stockport (and I've tried many venues over the years). So happy to visit again for a sweet slice and a cuppa. Wide range of teas, coffees and savory food, plus a little shop of vegan foodie treats/cooking products too. Hillgate Cakery deserves all the success it's found and I think customers are excited to see what the future brings for this much loved cafe.

Lovely cakes and always wonderful customer service.

Delicious cake, lovely place with friendly staff serving lovely vegan food.

Amazing as always and now offering savoury baked things and a modest range of vegan groceries.

I have been several times now, and I love the way they have evolved since they strarted. I have to say their food is phenomenal! Both the sweet and savoury. Well priced too. I would definitely recommend Lord Of The Pies. Keep up the great work!

Great little place for a huge wedge of vegan choc fudge cake. Only local place I could find open nice and early on sunday morning.

Ordered and Collected a Vegan Orio cake for an 18th Birthday. Fantastic, will definitely be visiting again.

Brilliant selection and super friendly staff

The cake was absolutely to die for!! And the gent who served us was super friendly and helpful.

Some of the best vegan cake I have ever had. I had a black forest gateau still cake and it was gooey and moist. Amazing and really friendly staff!

Ordered chocolate birthday cake and it was perfect 🍰 rich and chocolatey but not sickly as the sponge itself isn't too sweet. Definitely worth the money, even if you're not vegan!

Good coffee and cake. Much needed after a bike ride. They make the coffe with non-dairy milk if you need it.

Ordered an all chocolate vegan cake for my wife’s birthday. I was wary about it being vegan, as neither my wife or I are vegan, but I trusted Sarah could pull off an amazing cake regardless as I have ordered from her before she went all-vegan. I’m glad I did. It was an amazing cake and nobody would know it wasn’t a regular cake unless you told them. Order from here and enjoy a delicious cake whatever the occasion.

This little vegan cake/ beverage shop serves delicious food with a smile. Great tasting treats and amazing customer service.

Love to come here with my daughter for top-notch cakes (which happen to be vegan) and great coffee. They even had croissants today 🙂

My son & his partner took me here to try out the Vegan cakes. Oh my! What gorgeous cakes, we had a coffee & sat chatting. The shop is a little Vintage, which I adore so I was in a happy place. The prices are very reasonable & the choice is plentiful. I will be returning very soon.

A little vegan haven I discovered this week, great cakes and friendly staff. I'll be back. 😊

Great coffee and amazing cakes, loved my first visit here, and the owner is amiable and makes you feel welcome. Also goes without saying, the interior is immaculate and very well kept. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Fantastic. Lovely cakes and coffee, really friendly and relaxed. Dog friendly too

Visited with my daughter & family for drinks & cakes. Very friendly cafe with a good selection of cakes & original chocolates. There is a good selection of drinks including decaffeinated. I have previously bought cakes & chocolates to take away so can highly recommend the homemade things here.

Really creative unusual and delicious cakes which we bought to take away. The owner is really friendly . Lots of interesting small items to buy too.

Fantastic, visited with my vegan bro. As a non-vegan family of 5 we were optimistic about visiting. Must say it is absolutely brilliant. Definitely a must for all!

Amazing Vegan cakes, I've had the millionaires shortbread , chocolate and peanut butter counter cake , rocky road and the biscoffee counter cake, these were the best cakes I've had

Amazing cakery, I often pop in for a vegan treat and a cup of coffee and the cakes and staff are amazing. Also had an excellent peanut butter and chocolate birthday cake made for my other half. Cannot recommend enough!

This was my first contact with The Cakery. Was delighted to be able to order some cupcakes for a birthday. On going to collect them there was a pleasant welcome. Really enjoyed a coffee and vegans were happy with the cakes.

Brilliant for coffees and vegan cakes. Great cafe!

Late in the day visit but still had some great vegan cakes, son rates them 5*. Nice people as well.

Absolutely delectable (vegan) deserts coupled with sociable and friendly owners and staff.

Lovely little cafe and the staff are very friendly. If you visit then you have to try the Pecan and toffee slice, it's amazing

Amazing cakes. Never been disappointed. I'm so glad we have this little gem in Stockport. Owner does a lot for the local community as well. Thank you for setting up shop!

Called in today after checking out Tripadvisor for a cafe with vegan options. Arrived and was served by a very friendly lady wearing fabulous vintage clothes and at that point discovered all cakes were vegan! Great selection of cakes. I had a lemon cake with peppermint tea and my daughter had an Oreo slice with mango and apple juice. Both cakes were totally delicious. The Oreo cake was so gooey and moist. They also sell large party cakes. Just order in plenty of time. We also bought a peanut butter sponge as take out and my partner thought it was great. I’m shocked I didn’t know this place existed and both me and my daughter will be visiting again.

Popped in after walking past loads of times. Really good cakes , especially the blondes! will definitely be back soon!

Amazing cake, 100% vegan, lovely team. All-round local gem!

Chocolate cake by delivery. The best cake my adult Niece has ever tasted.

Coffee was excellent (locally sourced), good strength and aroma. Very friendly. Definately worth a visit.

I've been visiting on a weekly basis now for a few months. It's the best cafe in the town centre and it's well worth a visit if you're in the area. The owners are friendly, the tea is tasty and the cakes are lovely.

I have been getting cakes from Sarah the owner of the shop for over 6 years now they have always been brilliant, I've recently been in shop twice & her cakes are still just as good :) nice relaxed atmosphere in shop also

Wonderful cakes and always superb, helpful service.

Best vegan chocolate fudge cake ever!

Delicious vegan cakes! Their hot chocolate is the best too! Great atmosphere and very friendly. Love that I can get indulgent vegan treats so easily 😊

Lovely cakes, welcome addition to Stockport

Passed by a number of times, before I finally decided to check it out today. The owner was pleasant, as were the surroundings. The cake (I had a ginger, chocolate and cranberry brownie) was lovely, as was the chai tea. I definitely recommend the Hillgate Cakery and I'll be going in again soon!

Delicious friendly atmosphere all vegan 😋😋🤤🤤

Gorgeous millionaire's shortbread, and really friendly people

I discovered this little gem about a year ago. Since my first taste of these amazing cakes, I've been back every week since. Suitable for all dietary requirements and delicious. The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming with all the staff being so lovely. They also sell little hard-to-find vegan and gluten-free treats too.

This place does everything right. Really delicious cakes, friendly staff, great decor. Probably my favourite place in Stockport.

Wonderful! Best vegan cakes ever! It's not a short journey for me to get there but it is well worth it.

The cakes and treats in this lovely little shop are divine 😍 sampled a chocolate cake, biscoff Blondie and orange and ginger tiffin. All beautiful and would never guess it is all vegan!! Hats off to the chef!

Incredible cakes. And they do GF on request! Also about to add a chocolataire area to the shop.

Lovely vegan cakes. Assistant very friendly and kindly gave us advice on vegan products.

After trying the cakes with my wife and being blown away, I've taken my non vegan siblings, parents and friends, they have all been amazed and what can be acheived without egg and butter, and to such a high standard. There's a great selection of freshly baked cakes and other treats every day (apart from Mondays when they're closed). The sponge cake is fantastic, I've tried red velvet, biscoff (an absolute must!!) and most recently a mint oreo. Not to mention their other bits, rocky road slice, brownies, lemon cake, there's something for everyone. p.s. I've been coming here since early 2018, I've not eaten all this cake in a short period of time... The owners are really friendly and incredibly welcoming every time you walk through the door. They also do cakes to order for special events, birthdays etc which look phenomenal, check out their Instagram! And pay them a visit the next time you're in Stockport.

Delicious and wide variety of vegan cake, I love coming here for hot chocolate with marshmallows 😊😊

Brilliant cakes for vegans and their non-vegan (surprised) family! Huge choice, great value, delicious and always popular at weekends. Make a special trip if you have not visited yet. Well done to the owners for making vegan cake heaven a reality. Yumyum. Please never close the doors Hillgate Cakery x

The man who works here is very nice, so is the cake

I called in for the first time today. The cake was amazing.

The best cakery in Greater Manchester! We always stop by every time we are in the area! If you haven't been yet- you are missing on a lot ;)

Best cake in the world and such a lovely atmosphere 💚 never not been impressed!

Needed a cake quickly for my girlfriend's birthday but due to the time frame Sarah recommended some cupcakes instead.

5 of us called in on a Sunday afternoon and pretty much tried everything. The quality of the cakes, the friendly service and the pleasant surroundings makes this place an absolute joy. The plan is to go into savory snacks as well we were told, for this I cannot wait!

Lovely cupcake and coffee with lovely owner Simon like going to a `cupcake coffee local`. Seems like it gets busy at weekends i'm going to have to have a repeat visit.

Took me a while to visit the shop but am so glad I did three weeks ago. It’s so good that I’ve been going there ever since! We love their Oreo cakes, Victoria sponge, chocolate fudge cakes. Best vegan cake shop ever! The owners are always very helpful. Their cake ordering service is brilliant too!

Gorgeous vegan cakes and lovely owners

I had a cake made for my daughter’s birthday. It looked great and tasted amazing. I am not vegan but you never would have known it was an alternative cake. Would definitely use the cakery again.

Great cakes, friendly staff and all vegan but you wouldn't notice unless you were really paying attention.

Amazing little place in an up and coming area, affectionately know as 'Sto-ho', run by some awesome folks. All the cakes are vegan, and they have a selection of nondairy milk for your coffee. We tried sooo much of their cake, and all of it was excellent. Can't wait to go back next time I'm down. 😁

The best most exciting vegan cakery I have ever visited. Vegan VICTORIA SPONGE. A masterpiece of vegan baking. I will be making special trips to Stockpot to eat cake there.
