Rita's Cafe
About This Spot
Stepping into Rita’s Cafe feels like slipping into a familiar corner of Morecambe where time slows just enough to appreciate the simple comforts of a well-loved local spot. The clatter of plates and soft hum of conversation blend with the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling breakfasts. It’s the kind of place where the pace is unhurried, yet lively — a shared rhythm shaped by regulars and visitors alike, drawn to its genuine warmth and practical charm.
This is a cozy, no-nonsense café that invites you to settle in for a proper, hearty start or a relaxed midday pause. The atmosphere is unpretentious and bustling, alive with the friendly exchanges between customers and the attentive, easygoing staff who seem to know just how to make you feel at home. Outdoor seating along the promenade adds a lightness to the space, where seaside air mingles with the comfort of classic British café fare.
Rita’s menu reflects a focus on familiar, satisfying dishes made with care — think generous breakfasts that nourish, comforting jacket potatoes, and those little indulgent treats like homemade cakes and trifle that give the visit a cozy, almost nostalgic touch. The drinks offer a similarly honest pleasure, from good, strong lattes to warming cups of tea and hot chocolate, perfect companions to the informal, welcoming mood.
It’s a place where value and atmosphere go hand in hand, marked by friendly faces and a steady flow of locals who appreciate its unpretentious spirit. Whether you’re pausing for an early morning full English or dropping in for a casual lunch, there’s a feeling here of easy belonging — the kind that comes from sharing honest food in a space where everyday moments are quietly celebrated.

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.

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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had a good hearty breakfast with the family one morning whilst stopping in morcambe. Friendly staff, plenty of tables/seating, good full English breakfast all round. Prices are very reasonable (cheaper than market cafes). Good location on front with outdoor seating. Only knocked it down for quality of the sausage tbh .... I like a good butchers sausage, BUT I understand it reflects in the price

Cheap and cheerful Very busy, reminded me of if an English cafe was in Benidorm Bring cash Costed us around £13 for a breakfast, beans and cheese jacket potato, coffee and can of diet coke Much better potato than the new £7 shop round the corner ! £4.25 for my beans and cheese with a salad

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.
