Caffe Ritazza in Newcastle upon Tyne - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

As this is in the airside terminal at Newcastle Airport. Service was quick, but unfortunately they still use disposable cups. I would much prefer non disposable, but I guess its a bit hypocritical to claim the climate while waiting to board a plane. Coffee is fine, prices, given the location, is fine too.

Oh man but is the service slow. I mean glacial. Avoid this place if you are in a hurry.

Thank you for your help well and love caffe atmosphere I will definitely pass your caffe again. Excellent services

Served by Janan today! Amazing service! Lovely girl! Keep it up!

Five past four on a quiet Tuesday, eating in, but we have to have paper cups because " I'm closing at five mate and I'll be here till seven if I give you a proper cup". Really!!! Come on, have a bit of customer care and show some enthusiasm for the job. Almost a secondary issue, but the coffee was very poor as well.

The coffee tasted good but the ‘Passion and Pride’ used by their Baristas was not evident. I was refused a china cup because they didn’t have enough staff. Very poor management or ownership…

Walls and skirting boards filthy. Apart from that, the latte,s were nice.

Absolutely useless staff two speeds dead slow and stop. We gave up and went next door for carry out. Went back and watched people inthe queue we were previously next too were still there 20min later that's over 30 min total

I was greeted by a very polite young man with exceptional customer service skills, who was very helpful and cheery. However, The young lady on the drinks station should definitely take a leaf out of the young man’s book as her attitude was disgusting. Scowl looks when asked if I wanted strawberry sauce on my frappe. No attention to time, my mothers flat white was luke warm once we were seated, Didn’t appreciate the attitude when we were nothing but polite back.

We had breakfast here before a short trip to Belfast consisting of a bacon roll, pain au raisin, flat white coffee and tea. The drinks were ok but the food was utterly vile - greasy poor quality bacon that wasn’t fresh, neither was the pain au raisin the pastry was stale and soggy and obviously days old. Within hours my husband was suffering with a stomach upset which had a significant impact on a three day trip. The tables were dirty as was the floor. This is the worst, most expensive airport food we’ve ever experienced- never again this cafe should be avoided at all costs and judging from the many terrible reviews we are not alone in our awful experience of this truly horrible cafe. Shame on you!

It's after 5pm. It isn't busy. The back area is closed for *cleaning*. The area at the front is filthy. Tables with used crockery and spills on cleared tables. The staff are not busy and are physically leaning on the counters. I've never once actually thought of saying if you've got time to lean you've got time to clean but this could be the first time. A woman just knocked on the glass counter for service as there's no one behind the till. What a joke. I get this is an Airport but basic hygiene would be nice.

Lots of staff but are super slow and could not care . Way too slow considering we need to catch flight.

Great service today by the guys serving!

We just had a lovely coffe there waiting on our fly. Place is very friendly and lots of space to sit.The staff is really helpful and friendly.

Great service by this team on a busy July Monday morning. A bit of a que and busy seating area. All staff showed willingness to serve quick and were polite and friendly.

Second visit to Ritazza. Huruni is a credit to the company. An excellent team spirit and a warm welcome. Great customer skills. Thank you Craig Rose

Grabbed an iced coffee and had very friendly service from Chloe, Essan and Dominic today. Cafe was clean and would recommend for somewhere to relax before catching a flight.

Not the best coffee. Maybe try adding more! Latte just like warm milk. Americano is also weak. Staff are coping well though as it’s really busy.

Newcastle Airport – early morning service which may have been the reason for the offhand staff and poor service. Croissant was delicious – but no butter so a bit dry!!

Second time I've been here with the family for a pre-flight breakfast. I don't know why. Terrible. Slow moving staff couldn't care less. Over-priced. Freezer-burnt bread. Dirty tables.. Clean your own.. They will never get around to cleaning it even when it's mega-quiet

Absolute delicious coffee frappe highly recommend. Staff were lovely and was served very quick considering how busy it was

Great coffee!! exactly what I needed before my flight!!

amazing service the staff were so helpful and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend next time you visit Newcastle airport.

Early morning flight, very friendly and good customer service despite it being very busy! Will be back.

Not bad for a cafe in airport very spacious

Service is always great and the staff are so attentive willing to go above and beyond.

Great service as always Thanks again Early flights are a nightmare, but staff here always make me smile 😊

Unpleasant overpriced food time travelling from the 1980s. A terrible introduction to food for visitors to the UK. Do something Ncl Airport !

Management were lovely, real pleasure to eat here.

Lovely atmosphere before my flight. Really helpful staff who met my dietary needs and ensured my drink wasn’t mixed with others. Team Leader is a really friendly guy!

Leanne went above and beyond to help us find sandwiches all of our group would eat due to fussy eaters.

Lovely friendly member of staff. Was closing up when I got there but more than happy to still help. I travelled off peak so it wasn’t very busy and the member of staff Krystian took the time to have a natter about my trip and Christmas as I was travelling on Boxing Day. Appreciate that during busy times this wouldn’t necessarily happen given how hard the staff would be working but I don’t doubt they’d still give amazing customer service all the same

As always great coffee and relaxed atmosphere Service never a problem , definitely the place to chill before holidays

Came for a light bite before my flight and service and food was exceptional! The atmosphere was also lovely and the manager (Leanne) could not have been nicer to speak with!

Lady making my coffee was very grumpy when i asked her if she could put a bit more heat into my drink

Great service given by staff called Leanne she was very friendly and had good craic for how early it was in the morning

About the bacon sarnies, ours were disgusting...nothing like the pictured on the board as you go in.

Always vist here when flying out lovely coffee and great staff will definitely return on our next vist thank you so much .

Great customer service, great coffee & managed very well by team. I use this place on a regular basis for my business trips.

Hot lovely coffee served with a warm welcoming smile. Served by a lovely lady called Leanne. Great Job!

staff and service is always brilliant whenever I get my coffee before early flight. Coffees not bad either 👍

Excellent Service in Cafe Ritazza airside today, Leanne served me & she was lovely - coffee was great as well M Rudd

Lovely freshly brewed coffee. Helpful service to meet my dietary needs. Just what I exactly needed before a long flight.

always a pleasure to stop by ritazza when flying out from newcastle, good food and coffee, staff friendly as always

Tom served us one of the best coffee’s I’ve had in years. Thanks Tom for putting much effort and love into the hot drinks. Well deserved 5*

Just finished a great coffee at Ritazza prior to flight. Clean tidy, friendly staff and fantastic cuppa!!!

Yet another great coffee from the John and guys at Caffè Ritazza Airside… Superb coffee every time I visit and gets me ready for the flight ahead!

The label on the displayed bacon bap says "back bacon"... the roll is warmed up and the bacon is NOT back bacon. Its soggy, fatty streaky bacon 🥓 🙄 £15 for 2 bacon baps and 2 small teas! Change your labelling!

I'm not sure of his name but the barista was today made a couple of absolutely perfect coffees. Top work.

The quality of coffee served here is always on point. Flat White which was lovely and strong, just what I needed first thing. Prices a little expensive but you're in an airport so what do you expect. Will definitely return next time.

Came in for a 2x hot chocolates, the so-called “manager” was incredibly abrasive, no manners when my partner went to complain. Our issue was that she had clearly burnt the milk and it infant just tasted of that, burnt milk, no hot chocolate at all...

I was served by Leanne and got to say her customer service was 1st class. Really friendly and helpful

Can always rely on getting my coffee fix before flight here. Staff are always friendly and service is always as expected Thanks again

There are two caffe Ritazza at Newcastle airport both serving similar drinks and snacks. One is before security and the other after the duty free shops. Opt for the one before security for better and quicker service with staff who are polite and actually smile....

Called in at a busy time pre flight, nice oat latte and ham/cheese croissant. Staff were fast and friendly with service keeping everyone moving, just what you need at the airport!

100% will be back . Very friendly and pleasent staff. Well mannered and very clean and tidy . Had a bit laugh while I waited

Visited caffe Ritazza before our flight for a little snack and drink, plenty of food choices and iced coffee was amazing! Staff were also lovely and very helpful.

Was served today by Erhan the service was great and coffee very good 😊

Lovely Staff excellent Bacon roll

Went here b4 my flight to calm my nerves . Leanne put me at ease along side the lovely latte that I bought . Lovely atmosphere and very friendly would definitely go back

Came in after seeing a picture of a lovely 'crispy bacon' bun. Actual sandwich was a greasy slimy mess made from what looked like left over bacon bits that certainly wasn't crispy. Tye lady behind the counter was quite rude and made me feel uncomfortable....

Stopped off for another wake me up at airside ritazza. Great coffee as always and friendly staff led by Leanne. I'll be back again!

So disappointed with overpriced lacking in taste chilli rice. Barely a spoonful of chilli so a tub full of rice. The staff, however, were really friendly and the coffees were ok.

At 6am in the morning, during peak holiday season, when it’s busy and we’re excited, but also impatient, what you need is to be served by Rob. Polite, calm and diligent. A benchmark for brilliant service. Coffee & croissants were a bonus.

Amazing friendly service, good variety of food products much better then the last time I travelled, would recommend the tomato pasta salad. Nice and light complemented by an iced latte.

I hate early morning starts for work, but i arrived early for a much needed cup of coffee to wake me up. I had to ask the servers name on my way out because his coffee was beyond great! John your coffee was amazing! I...

Staff unpleasant. Not nicely dressed. Food was absolutely disgusting. Don’t know how to make coffee either

Great service by leanne who always had a smile.

Great visit for a hot coffee and snack before boarding for my flight! Leanne served me with Great attitude and smiles 😃 just to add to my holiday mood

Was in airport today and really needed a coffee, ( I was not looking forward to having to wait in a Q) Have to say service was brilliant no long waiting and staff member Leanne offered brilliant customer service. Having worked in Customer service /retail...

Bought a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant came to £8.95 paid on card was told it hadn’t worked I checked my bank statement and provided it had was told to put my card in machine to pay which I did due to the que build...

My favourite place to go at newcastle airport, have a wide range of snacks and drinks - my favourite is the iced salted caramel latte. Staff are always super friendly especially Tom. They also have places to charge devices which is always handy!

ok coffee, but why did the shut down the view on the outside? what used to be windows is covered with flat white wood. dark and sad atmosphere, especially knowing that there used to be natural light. strange choice.

Leanne was very helpful and kind. She also makes one good cup of coffee.

Spot on. Excellent service by Lianne.

Great Coffee, prompt service with a smile by Leanne

Slow. Pretty ignorant. Forgetful. Tables a mess. Average communication. Food ordinary.

This place absolute rubbish now, asked for a latte and an americano, got a tea and an americano, got it changed for a latte, these were in paper cups even when staying in. Also got a tuna sandwich which was awful and could have been...

Probably the worst iced tea I have ever had. Straight out a bottle, paper cup, massive cubes of ice. Horrid. Avoid at all cost

Travelled abroad for family holiday. Had the most amazing bac ok n sandwiche n latte for breakfast . Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Definitely will be going back

Been a while since I’ve travelled during these times but have to say that the service with a smile from here is still very evident . I find Staff are always pleasant and make time for customers . The coffees not bad either 👍

Great service in a busy environment. Prices decent especially considering it's an airport Leeane and Simone serving, both smiling, helpful and pleasant

Great flavoured latte, asked for extra hot and came just as I like it. Tables quickly cleared and staff were very friendly. Wish Belfast options were as good!

Excellent coffee and service today from Simone and Leanne.

Stopped in for quick snack and drink whilst waiting for Belfast flight. Service was friendly and professional. Quick to receive order. Lovely Americano with shot of steamed milk, made the way I like it. Plenty of space and tables were quickly cleared. Wish I could say the same for the Bfs refreshment options! Recommended.

Terrible service, cold coffee, over-priced. Go to Naked Deli instead. We will next time. Flat White was cold - which explained the fast service. Food is over over-priced.

Considering I was meant to receive this and revived this with no excuse is the worst!!!!nothing really more to say took the drink back and said does this look like picture to be told noooooo we haven’t the ingredients absolutely disgusting from staff then they...

Starting our trip and this was a nice place to start - quick service and relaxed. Clean, well spaced and a nice latte - recommended

Early morning flights are not my favourite, but needs must I suppose Thank heavens for the coffee shop at the airport for my caffeine fix Always get good fast service, not to mention the delicious coffee, staff are always friendly and provide service with a...

Great stop Airside before our flight. The staff were extremely helpful especially with helping find something to eat with my dietary requirements. Leanne was especially helpful, very friendly and made my partner and I feel very welcome. All the staff were very efficient in their...

Friendly staff and quick service, clean and plenty of space within the seating area ( this is a main concern of mine during Covid times ) Thank you will definitely be back next time I am in airport.

Absolutely love coming to this shop when I come to the airport. Always served by friendly faces who couldn’t do anymore for you. It’s made better when the coffee is on point every time.

Iced latte with a blueberry muffin is the best way to cope with a 4.30am start. Staff were friendly and service fast. Good place to people watch whilst waiting for your flight!

Had stronger and better-tasting coffee from a vending machine! Seating area is large and typical of airport utilitarian.

Ritazza bring science to highway robbery. Bacon sliced with a micrometer so its see through and the equivalent of one rasher placed in a childs dry bun and microwaved. Two coffees a pastry and bacon sarnie £15. 7:30am and full of mature people faced with...

Had lovely service from an employee called John Wanless - such a pleasant experience :) especially first thing on a morning! Thank you John.

Good visit getting back into the airport after covid. Quick pleasant service. Hot tasty coffee and bacon bun ready for my flight :)

After getting up at 4:30am to be at the airport for 7pm my husband & I decided to have a bacon bun as we have had them here on numerous occasions before. Sadly today they were absolutely dreadful, mainly bits of fat with a slight...

Expensive and terrible customer service. Please don't confuse the barista by asking for a coffee by its name. Corporate for this chain should look at their customer service training.
