Morans - The Old Bakery in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We stayed a couple of doors down from this bakery and visited for breakfast on our last day. All six of us agreed that it was superb. Quality ingredients, cooked to perfection with no grease at all and really reasonably priced too. You need to book as it’s get busy and it’s a small venue but we will definitely go back. The staff were also super helpful and the service was great.

Firstly, these are amazing pizzas! The right amount of topping, lovely fresh dough, and about the right price. The only mark I will give against is that you need to be on it with booking! It’s very limited availability. An online booking system would be very helpful

We had an amazing breakfast here, and the coffee was so good, we had a second. Staff were charming and clearly enjoyed their work and each others company.

We visited for breakfast, lovely coffee, amazing bread and my husbands Eggs Benedict were perfect, my sausage sandwich unfortunately was a let down, poor quality and not very well cooked sausage, a shame. Clearly a popular palce with fantastic bakery products.

What a gem of a little bakery. Just missed the bread but will definitely be back. Had breakfast was really amazing. The staff are so friendly and helpful

Not open all the time so worth checking. Good food and friendly service. They do homemade takeaway pizzas on Monday and Tuesday night in high season which are excellent and cooked to order.

Breakfast delicious, also do a lovely selection of pastries and cakes to takeaway, they do pizza to takeaway which seemed very popular but didn’t try, just a shame only open 4 days a week

Milkshakes are just a nesquik special. Wouldn't bother visiting to pay nearly 3 pounds for the pleasure. Food was okay but expensive.

Just completed the one day get started with sourdough course. Absolutely fantastic! Great for both beginners and experienced bakers. A full day with lunch and coffee and cake. Learnt so much and went home with plenty of bread, starters etc. thoroughly recommend. Thank you!

Was staying near the area and came across this lovely little bakery, the sourdough brown bread was still warm when we brought it and was delicious, saw the sign for takeaway pizza on a Monday evening so ordered while in there to collect Monday evening, it didn’t disappoint and was one of the best pizza I’ve tried in a while. Easy to order & was ready for me to collect at my chosen time. I can imagine in the busier months they sell out quite quick.

Fantastic Pizza take away in Cawsand Torpoint Cornwall , Cooked to order , simply sublime. Order by telephone, collect at a designated time , couldn’t be easier .

We had the best breakfast ever in The Old Bakery, superb ingredients cooked to perfection. Wonderful homemade sourdough the coffee was good and the staff lovely. We had previously had their pizzas which were so good, definitely a place to visit when in Kingsand.

Splendid full English, one of the best I've had. Relaxed atmosphere, bread cooked on the premises, and excellent bread making tips from the owner. Dog friendly.

We stumbled across your bakery whilst moored up at Cawsands and exploring on shore!! Your sour dough poppy seed bread was utterly delicious. We came back for coffee and cake a few days later. Excellent coffee!!! Can't wait to pass by again!!

What a lovely quaint cafe! We stopped to get a takeaway as we walked past and as we were waiting it started to rain. We asked to change our minds and sit inside and the excellent staff/owner said they’d more than welcome us. Beautiful bread used for our breakfast sandwiches that was freshly made that morning and meat that was lovely. Couldn’t recommend this place more.

There are not many true "artisan" establishments where all the bread and pastries for sale have been freshly made by the owner every day. I can't begin to imagine the effort that must go in to do this day after day every holiday season as well as providing a wholesome breakfast selection. On top of that great coffee and a lovely historic environment. One not to miss.

We loved this little cakery which does pastries, croissants and drinks to go as well as breakfast every morning except Thursday. They offer a pizza service to takeaway 3 nights per week but be sure to order at least a day in advance as they book up quickly. In August they don’t provide bread for sale as they are so busy with breakfasts and need the bread they make for this. We had breakfast a couple of times during our week’s stay, everything was lovely and freshly made. Would recommend to everyone

Excellent bakery and piazza takeaway. We where stuck for a meal the following night, this more than exceeded our expectations of great flavoured and very toppings - brilliant.

Strange attitude by leading server (possibly owner). We were too late for breakfast and limited to bakery products which were on sale. I am not sure it know what it is.

The Old Bakery does takeaway Pizza on a Monday night and according to my 14 Yr old, it was the best Pizza they've ever had. So if the kids are saying that it must be pretty darn good. Booking is essential though.. So get in quick.

We stopped by for breakfast, we choose 2 full english breakfasts and a pot of tea, we sat outside in the lovely sunshine. Food was all of the finest quality, poached eggs done to perfection. Toast thick and lovely. Everything tasted great - a little on the large side, but my little dog didn’t mind helping me out. Great service offered water for dog. Staff enquired as to how things were. Dogs welcome in and out. Everything served to us and others looked fantastic. Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommended.

This is a not-to-be-missed cafe in Cawsand. Absolutely delicious breakfasts, with every ingredient top quality. Wonderful breads and exceptional baked goods. I dare you to show any restraint!

Bought a flat white, an oat milk latte, a bottle of water and a sausage roll to-go. The staff were super friendly and efficient. The coffee was awful, the sausage roll was awful, and the bottle of water was £2 (which is ridiculous) The first appearances of this place are so charming, it looks quaint and busy. Unfortunately everything we got went in the bin after one sip/bite.

We called in late morning because we saw a number of people obviously enjoying baked goods. We decided they must be sampled. I chose a Kouign Amann, a buttery sweet pastry from Brittany which was amazing. My husband had banana bread which was also delicious....

Really excellent pizzas. Crispy quoit being too hard. Soft without being doughy. Tasty toppings and fantasying flavour. Really very very good. Just beware this is a small place and you have to pre book usually at least the day before…. It’s worth the wait though

We had a takeaway pizza and sit in breakfast at The Old Bakery. The pizza was stunning and the sit down meal was lovely. Service was welcoming.

Simple tasty food. As usual here are the pros and cons. Pros - simple and honest tasty food - sausage rolls were huge and tasty, 1 could do 2 people - relaxed ambience and certainly not packed in - great pastries, clearly home baked and...

Delicious breakfast. We had the french toast and full English and both were tasty. Fresh orange is yum! Luckily managed to walk up and get a table on a Saturday morning which I think we were extremely lucky to get. While there we overheard people...

Pastries and French toast to die for. Excellent coffee. Absolutely delicious but be quick. Very limited space and operating hours were only 9 til noon Friday to Sunday in early July. You can order gorgeous bread for the next day which was clearly popular. They'd...

We sailed to cawsands and came ashore for breakfast! What a find! Lovely food, brilliant service. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I came down to Cawsand and noticed some people with the takeaway pizzas from The Old Bakery. We ordered ours - the menu is rather limited, but there are options that should suit most tastes. Their pizza is delicious and definitely hits...

Fantastic takeaway pizzas. We had a chorizo and a ham and mushroom. Beautifully crisp base with generous and tasty toppings. Delicious!

Amazing bakery - pizzas on Monday night and breakfast Fri- Sun. This would have been 5 stars if it was open more! Such limited opening hours but absolutely worth a visit for their amazing baked goods

Friendly staff, would certainly visit again to sample their fare when normality resumes. Situated around half way between these charming twin villages.

You have to visit The Old Bakery, breakfast, lunch, pizza, cakes. Everything is homemade and absolutely delicious.

The coffee here never disappoints and even though the menu was reduced when we visited I August, the food was still of the highest standard. Highly recommended.

This great little place which opens for pizzas a couple of evenings a week . The first 2 nights were already sold out , so I quickly placed an order for 6 takeaway pizzas for our family of 9. Absolutely delicious .. thank you!

We stopped for some lunch here as we were looking around Kingsand and Cawsand. Most of our food was alright but the fish finger sandwhich was awful! The bread was ok, but the fish fingers themselves were disgusting. They were slimy and grey and clearly...

Just passing through had a coffee, safe distance in place nice pastries yum yum. Not far from beach no dogs allowed on beach. Very nice place to visit.

Super! I stayed two nights at the old bakery for a wedding nearby. The room was great, everyone was very friendly, got some local swimming tips, amazing coffee, delicious breakfast. I’d love to come back!

Excellent service. Food not up to previous standards. Sourdough sandwich was mainly bread with very little filling - unlike previous visits.

We came for breakfast with friends, and it was delicious! The full cooked English was lovey, especially the home made sour dough bread!

Fab food and great staff,family and dog friendly,great atmosphere ,wonderful village by the sea🥗🍰all food homemade and delicious ☕️🥑🍞🍳👍👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🐶🌞

Situated in Garrett Street in beautiful Cawsand, we discovered this lovely cafe. It serves all sorts, hot and cold food. I had the fish finger sandwich (large!) and my husband had the rarebit, as we did the previous year. All delicious. I am determined to have afternoon tea there soon! It is comfortable with a calm cosy atmosphere. They do pizzas every Monday for takeaway. Lucky village!

The Old Bakery makes the best coffee ,the best soup and the best bread I have eaten for a long time -oh and the Welsh Rarebit is not to be missed either !

What a lovely place good home baked food, very clean and friendly staff. Had the Chocolate Brownie, delicious. Just a great atmosphere,shame it isn't a bit larger, must be packed in the summer.

A gorgeous find. We had lunch - mainly sandwiches which were delicious and HUGE! And good coffee too. The dog was welcome as we're we. We will return!

We stayed in Cawsand (well worth a visit) for a few days in Mid - September. We had planned a good walk to Mount Edgcumbe and decided on a good breakfast, there was a reasonable choice but we choose the Old Bakery as that was the earliest one to open. The Café is very clean and welcoming, and just as we arrived so did the morning swimmers fresh from their dip in the sea, (this justified our choice as it was endorsed by the locals). I had a full English and my wife had her own off piste concoction - both of really enjoyed it and the coffee was wonderful.Not only was it a lovely atmosphere the food and service was top notch.

Three of us went in for a coffee and snack at lunchtime last Sunday. Told that white crab meat sandwiches were not available but those with mixed crab meat were so we took a chance and ordered two rounds. These turned out to be nothing more than a sliver of predominantly brown crab meat, the white being conspicuous by its absence, very thinly spread between two rounds of thick sourdough bread. The almost complete absence of any crabmeat rendered them almost tasteless added to which we were charged £10.50p for each so called "sandwich". As Cornish natives and residents for many years, in our travels around this wonderful County we have enjoyed many well filled genuine white crab meat sandwiches in various locations at prices greatly below the exorbitant price charged by The Old Bakery. An absolute ripoff.

We enjoyed a late lunch here and really enjoyed the experience. We were walking the coastal path with our 4 dogs and noticed the cafe as we explored the two villages. I called in to book a table and the staff member was very accommodating when I requested a specific table so that we had plenty of room for the dogs but were tucked away from other customers.

came here for breakfast with friends (as this venue was open earlier (0900hrs) than the others in Cawsand/Kingsand). Had a variety of hot english breakfasts, tasty and well presented, friendly staff. Seating available inside and a few seats available outside. A little pricey.

We had an early lunch here. Great pancakes and sourdough bread fresh from the oven. Good service and lots of locals around. Highly recommended!

Impromptu stop while walking the CPAS path. Excellent coffee. Delicious Bakewell tart! The place is buzzing.

Very unusual and as comfortable as could be, there is a limit to what can be done with these old properties. Bread baked daily , turkish style breakfast! I loved it.

Had a really lovely sausage bap. The bread was amazing. Great cup of tea. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely be popping back again

Just how much rudeness, arrogance and patronising should be accepted from the owner because he can bake? Due to poor staff training, my purchase of a loaf was not recorded leading to embarrassment when someone collected it for me and was asked to pay. When I called in the next day, I was told I definitely hadn’t paid. On checking and finding I had paid, during which process the surly owner was rude and patronising, no apology was made for the mistake. What a shame because the food and baked goods are delicious. Is it the price to pay for genius? Am I being petty minded? Should you pass on the experience? No. But the owner would certainly benefit from a spell at a Swiss finishing school.

Walked past many times and always busy. Finally on the last visit there was a table available. Very friendly and prompt service, made to feel very welcome. Coffee and scones were good too.

Two cream teas. Probably the best scone I've ever had. Really good. Will go back when next that way.

Just been back to The Old Bakery for a light lunch and had the lovely Cauliflower and bean soup and excellent sourdough bread (made in a granary style). Highly recommended.

This is an attractive café in Garrett Street, a narrow walkway in the charming Cornish village of Cawsand. The houses opposite are painted in blues, pinks and yellows. There is a small terrace outside.

Have visited for 2 fab breakfasts these past couple of days. Very tasty sausage and bacon with 2 expertly cooked poached eggs on lovely sourdough toast not forgetting mushrooms and tomato. All washed down with fab latte or good tea!! Friendly staff and no delay with receiving food. Would definitely recommend.

I love it here, the food is good quality and value. Bread and cakes delicious. But please make your opening times clearer on your website and the google entry as they either incorrect (google) or are tricky to work out as displayed in complicated format.

Enjoyed a lovely hot chocolate and homemade toasted chocolate sour bread. The tables were clean and the waitress was very pleasant. There's a selection of food on the menu and a specials board. Seems like a popular place.

Stayed in the b&b; for a couple of nights. Really friendly hosts. Stayed in the double room which was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was a relaxed affair downstairs in the cafe. Great food and fabulous coffee. Located in middle of village and some wonderful walks in the door step. Great relaxing break with great hosts

Family run and friendly with excellent food! Tradition tea room with excellent Welsh rarebit! A centre point for cawsand

After a bracing walk at Rame Head and then a walk around Cawsand, came across this gem, just had coffee to warm up, but looked at menu and it all looked lovely and will definately go back for lunch.We got there 10 minutes before they closed but didn't feel we were being rushed...in fat we were in and out before the people that were already there!

We have had numerous breakfasts here and they have all been of the highest standard. The coffee is excellent and Chris and the staff are friendly and do a great job. Highly recommended.

We went here for breakfast twice. The french toast is so tasty and the full english also delicious. There is local produce available and sourdough made on the premises. Really worth a visit.

My last visit needed a trudge through the rain to have breakfast here on the day I left town. Their fresh bread is sensational and everything is cooked to perfection.

My family and I stayed in Kingsand and discovered this little gem. The food and service is exceptional, the home made bread is a must!

Eaten here a few times now and the service and food is excellent! Can’t fault it! The sourdough is lovely!

Enjoyed breakfast and afternoon tea here a few times - highly recommended. Not much of a view but the food and service are excellent.

Very nice to see this historic premises in business. We stopped for a light lunch enjoying some excellent mackerel pate with fresh sourdough and a little salad. We also ordered rosemary roast potatoes on the side which were also delicious. This was washed down with some local apple juice. There’s also a range of cakes available as well as deli goods and on top of all this the proprietor also runs a thriving pizza business on certain evenings. The location in this pretty and quirky village makes this worth seeking out. Combine with a trip to Mt Edgecumbe Park or Rame Head. Strongly recommended...

After a friendly welcome, we were taken to our room, a reasonably priced twin, roomy, clean, and well appointed. There was a wonderful choice of breakfast, from full English to Turkish, delicious bread baked on the premises, perfectly cooked eggs and great coffee. Altogether, an experience to be recommended.

Really loved this place. Fresh home made scones and cakes, delicious . Lemon drizzle and banana bread highly recommended. Really busy and after eating could see why. If you are in the area well worth stopping by.

Amazing take-away pizza's on Monday night. Make sure you book in advance, they sell out fast! Great, friendly, young, staff and fab breakfasts too. Going back today!

High recommend the excellent crab lunch at this establishment - the bread is also to die for! The service was excellent, as was the coffee!

Stayed in one of the two rooms that are own the top (3rd) floor of the old bakery, Very comfortable and a great location.

Stopped here for a light lunch and the quality of the food did not disappoint. We had goats cheese sandwiches which were made with the excellent sour dough bread that is made on the premises. The side salad was better than the usual offering containing courgette ribbons with a nice dressing. The Old Bakehouse is the only one coffee/tea shop in Kingsand/Cawsand so has no real completion so is not cheap , having said that would happily use again.

Serves wonderful breakfasts, cakes and afternoon teas. Also pizzas on some evenings.Can order or take away or eat in.

Excellent home baked bread and cakes. Table service. Light lunch of fresh crab on sour dough with leaves. Polenta cake. Earl grey a bit thin, but otherwise no quibbles. Expensive of course, but then they have a monopoly of the market for afternoon food.

Grumpy terrible service. Luckily it happened when we were at the till ordering so we could leave. The owner shouldn't be dealing with the general public.

The sour dough pizza’s from the Old Bakery are delicious. Ordered ours on Saturday for Monday collection. If you are staying in Cawsand then highly recommended.

We stayed here in April as attending a wedding at the Old Fort. One of the best B&B;'s we've stayed at. The owners were fab people who couldn't make us feel more welcome. The room (top floor) was spacious and the bed very comfortable with en-suite shower that was a great addition too. Breakfast was excellent - over the three days we tried different breakfasts (the mushrooms on toast was to die for!) and on our last morning settled for just yoghurt but Chris kindly made and wrapped up two sausage baps for us to have later on our journey. We loved that breakfast was anytime up to midday (sometimes you just need an extra hour or two in bed when you’re holidaying!). And the daily hand made sourdough bread was divine! We would certainly recommend The Old Bakery, its lovely owners and great location!

What a delightful place to have booked into, my sister and I were booked in for three nights, we were attending our friends wedding at Polhawn fort.

Popped in for a coffee and decided to try some soda bread toast. Really good coffee and toast- looking at what others had whilst we were there, it all looked fabulous. Pity no bread was available to buy

Breakfast worth travelling for. Try the cheese scones too. We were a big party three families with kids and babies but they served us fantastic food effortlessly. We went back to buy fresh Cheese scones later.

Lovely fresh, tasty food. The bread is home made & delicious. Be aware it is closed on Thursday’s, sadly forgot this last time & ended up at the Devonport Inn, which was dreadful compare to the lovely food served here. As locals, we eat here regularly :)

Visited this café after getting off the first Cawsand Ferry of the day. It was the only café in the village that was open. The café itself is nicely decorated but the welcome was limp. We waited to be seated nothing happened so seated ourselves. No menu on the table. We weren't sure if the menu would be brought to us, it wasn't, so after a while we took one off another table. Sourdough is obviously a great passion for the owner or cook, and it was very difficult to find anything on the breakfast menu that didn't have sourdough in it. We were hungry and noticed the café did a full English Breakfast so presumed we would easily be able to get scrambled eggs on toast. We asked for this and wewere told that it was not possible, so we had to choose between boiled or poached eggs. Didn't realise it was so difficult to make scrambled eggs! However, the poached eggs were nice.

Staying the week in Cawsand and eating our way through the the delights on offer at the Old Bakery. Full English breakfast cooked to perfection, cinnamon buns on Sunday morning so fresh and light, with just the right balance of cinnamon, sugar and bread. Pizzas on Monday night excellent, not over fussy with the toppings and the base, just the right thickness (I like a thin base) soft with crunchy edges. Worth booking if you arrive in Cawsand at the weekend. The lemon drizzle and fruit cake superb. Can't wait to try the brownies! Thank God for so many lovely walks to burn off some calories. Very helpful information from the friendly owner when I purchased a bannetene.

I stayed here for two nights this weekend whilst in Cawsand for a friend's wedding. It was a great little B&B.; Good sized room and very comfy bed. Perfect location in the centre of the village. Both days I woke up at 8am to the smell of freshly baked bread - there's nothing quite like that to entice you out of bed! Breakfast is served in the cafe - both days I sat outside on a little table in the sun and had wonderful poached eggs. I'd highly recommend this place.

We stayed one night as part of our coastal path walk. We had a nice big room, with exposed beams in a high ceiling. It's a well located B&B; above the cafe. We were disappointed to miss out on tea and cakes when we arrived as the owners have a (well deserved) day off on Thursdays but we made up for it with excellent breakfasts the next morning (plus take away brownies!)

Friends had recommended The Old Bakery so off we trotted. We made a special effort to go as were actually planning to go to Cawsand but we drove round so that we could get some nice coffee before we got the beach. We went straight up to the counter to order takeaway coffee. There was an older man (presumably the owner) working the coffee machine and a couple of young ladies waitressing. We were ordering directly with the man and to put it simply, we were given the sort of welcome you give to a fart in a lift. He may as well have said: “I don’t want you in here”. I also noticed that the waitresses didn’t seem very happy. This man was giving off a really negative energy. It’s such a shame because I could see that the cafe is lovely. Nicely decorated and seemingly happy customers (probably because they didn’t have to communicate with the owner). I am a kind person, I’m willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. We all have bad days and we all have our personal lives to our to put to one side when we’re at work. However, this man was rude, unprofessional and it would take a lot for us to go back. Big shame.

We have been trying to go here for a long time but were never in Cawsand at the correct time. It was worth the wait and more. Friendly service, nicely brewed tea and the Toasted Sough Dough Fruit bread was incredible. We also had the toasted banana bread with yoghurt and honey Wow. Everything we saw being served looked so yummy. Only down side are the Dog Owners who cannot control their pets whilst I have nothing against dogs,they allow them to please themselves from licking the plastic table clothes, generally sniffing around other customers that prefer not to be sniffed or poked.As we left we noticed one dog was being allowed to eat from a plate on the table with its feet on the table!!

After a walk around Cawsands we decide to pop in here for afternoon tea, firstly we had our King Charles with us who was more than welcomed. I ordered the rarebit which was absolutely amazing my wife's bacon and brie sanwich was beautifully hand crafted too and to top it off our scones were simply perfect. The team here are totally on top of their game and its a cracking little find in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend. We will definitely return.

Lovely Place! Great breakfasts, super home made soups, fantastic home-made bread, good quality coffee! From the outside The Old Bakery looks most unassuming but don't be put off because here you will find comfort, warmth and a welcome from a family run place and run with enthusiasm. We stopped by for a simple bowl of soup but looked enviously as the other food, particularly the breakfasts came out to other customers. The place is perfect for families with young children looking for a relaxed easy place to stop off if visiting or walking around this beautiful little village.town. Go there with confidence and you will be met with a welcome, friendship and good food carefully and lovingly prepared.

Stayed at the Old Bakery B&B; and took advantage of the breakfast included in our stay. (B&B; is excellent - separate review)

Chris and Liz Gunn have run this café/restaurant for quite a few years. Consistently very high quality food and super service. More particularly they run one day bread making courses which are outstanding. Excellent pace, busy, interesting - and a very satisfying end product.

This is a fantastic little café with some staples on the menu but also some things which are a little different.

The peppered leek & butterbean soup special with sourdough was ample & delicious. Made with love & beautifully presented. The gentile surroundings & staff are a delight.
