Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The homemade cakes are an absolute hit. Regulars rave about the trifle, a true must-try that’s often mentioned in reviews. Customers appreciate the large portions, especially with meals like the Full Monty breakfast that can satisfy anyone’s hunger. Great coffee also stands out, with many declaring that few places make a cuppa as good as Rita's. The friendly service from the staff, especially the lovely interactions with customers, brings people back time and again. Additionally, the casual atmosphere makes it a relaxing spot to unwind.
Most Disliked
Some patrons note the cafe can get particularly busy, especially on weekends, leading to longer wait times. Noise levels during peak hours can detract from the dining experience, making conversation difficult. A few have mentioned the crowded nature of the space, especially when the weather is nice, and outdoor seating fills up quickly. Another minor complaint is the cash-only payment option; while NFC mobile payments are available, bringing cash seems to be the preference for many. Even so, the charm of Rita's Cafe often outweighs these inconveniences.

Came to Rita’s Cafe for a breakfast and it was really nice. You get a decent portion of food for your money and a friendly service. They also know how to make a good cuppa which is rare in cafes nowadays 😁 I recommend trying the cakes too as they’re all homemade! The trifle is amazing as I had to try one after noticing them! Thanks for having us and we’ll see you next time we’re in Morecambe! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great little 'greasy spoon'. I mean that in the most affectionate sense. Great value, no frills, excellent service. Place was packed with locals which is a great accolade.

I had the full month and it was worth every penny £8.99 very pleasant staff and very quick service if your up this way I would recommend calling in or you could have a greasy tasteless burger at you know where, I know where I'll be going look after the independent business.

Had the homemade cheese and onion pie (exceptional) with broad beans, chips and gravy. Place has really good atmosphere, family owned, community vibes.
