Lovely and pleasant little place to eat your breakfast on a morning. Very friendly and accommodating staff and fast service. My scrambled egg on toast is always spot on and the toast is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you to Rita's cafe, I always look forward to my breakfast on a Saturday morning after a hard weeks work
I went in to get a breakfast roll on a Sunday just before 12. A wonderful experience from start to finish (okay I haven’t actually managed to finish it because it was so large, but that means I’ve got more for later – YUMMY!) From the moment you walk in your greeted with a smile, the options on the board all look delicious and someone even came out to help me make my decision. My breakfast roll includes bacon, sausage, and a fried egg. I was asked if I wanted butter or any other sauce; I chose butter. I was then asked how I wanted my egg and my bacon cooked - I’ve never been asked that before – it was like being fed at home. It was prepared quickly, with some very pleasant conversation, whilst I was waiting and then I walked out to my car and opened the delicious parcel. I have attached three photos – before eating, opened parcel (okay, so I took a sneaky bite because I couldn’t resist) and closed sandwich and then the remainder of what I have because I literally cannot eat anymore. They even gave me a menu so that I could call ahead and pick food up on my way past if I wanted to and they also informed me that they were hoping to do a delivery service in the not too distant future. I personally would rather go in and sit and eat in there and soak up the atmosphere, but each to their own. I highly recommend Rita‘s Sandwich Bar and Café – I shall definitely be going back for more. Probably not good for my hips and waistline but definitely good for my spirit and my soul – thank you very much
