Mor is a hidden gem, although very busy, I can certainly see why! They make the best Cornish Heeva Cake. I wanted to get some to take back home at the end of my holiday and unfortunately they had run out. The lovely lady with glasses and blonde hair (sorry I don't know your name!) Made a new batch and told me whe to come back. Best things I have ever tasted! We will be back

Friendly and welcoming staff, serving a super selection of food and drink. My partner had some pasties and enjoyed them immensely. They serve some really different pasty fillings, looking forward to trying them all over time! I had an almond croissant which had delicious flaky pastry and plenty of filling. Take away only but in such a beautiful setting this is ideal for holiday/visit snacking. Highly recommend.

Great little place for a Cornish pasty whilst looking round St Ives. Had the steak and Stilton Pasty and it was delicious!

I’ve been coming to St. Ives for over 40 years and there are many takeaway type places. However, not all are created equal. At Mor you’ll not only get great food at competitive prices, but you’ll get lovely service. Well above and beyond the sort you might expect from many other food places that clearly employ temporary staff. The staff here care, that is obvious. The product and experience matter to them. I wish them the best of luck and I strongly recommend the breakfast wrap! Many thanks, Will, Raya and Poppy

THE PIZZA. Yes. The pizza. That's all. Delicious. It's been 2 weeks and I'm still thinking bout these pizzas. Apologies for the photos of half eaten pizzas. They were truly irresponsible. And it wasn't just cause we were hungry. Highly recommend!

I’ve been coming to St Ives for years and usually frequent another local eatery for lunch. However, they’ve stopped doing my fav so I decided to try Mor…… and I thought it was really tasty, so glad I made the jump! I ordered two slices of pizza , the meat lovers and the spicy nduja. The later was pretty spicy but as it should be! A little pricey perhaps but the location is worth it. Nice friendly fella making the pizzas

Incredible! The lovely lady at the front (we got talking and she owns three dogs) took incredible care of my pup and gave me excellent local advice while I was staying in the area as tourist. The lads cooking made us some truly world class breakfasts - and I say that as someone who has travelled the world multiple times and eaten at many Michelin star restaurants - I’m not bragging, I’m just saying I know what makes a good food establishment (or not!) The place is spotless and well priced. Utterly top notch. THANK YOU. You guys genuinely make a difference to a person’s stay in St Ive’s.
