Curiositea in Coventry

The ambience is good but the barista’s are not experienced enough to make a good coffee. It’s good to go and sit for a while but it misses a authentic coffee experience

A very pleasant place to have a nice coffee or any other dessert. There are paninis for lunch too.

Decent range of cakes, including vegan and other dietary options, plus milk alternatives for coffee and tea. Open to the public.

📍Curiositea1. Chocolate and Vanilla Marble Cake (£3.50)2. Large Hot Chocolate (£3)Verdict: Unfortunately, this is yet another tragic tea room experience of mine - a place which serves cakes that give you phobia 😩😭 I’ve been eyeing this place for a while since it seems like a cosy tea room in the centre of University of Warwick. Their cake galore never fails to allure me and I just couldn’t resist it anymore, so I decided to try them out. 🍰Moreover, this place is always packed so it has to be good right? But NO!! I guess most students just come here as they are faced with constrained choices of eateries around campus.Having an afternoon tea is suppose to be a pleasurable and relaxing experience. ☕️ However, this cake turned the whole experience upside down. It was dry, tasteless and extremely crumbly. The marble cake seemed to have gone bad because it was so hard that I had to stab my fork into it, and it started to crumble into chunks of mini rocks. It was just the most awful cake I’ve had in my life!! Nobody should have to ever go through this experience, especially when you’re paying for it 😩 I was utterly disappointed with the cake and was hoping that the hot chocolate would do me some good. Well, I was wrong again. 💔 It was so dilute and bitter. I could barely taste any cocoa and I’m guessing that an upsize here just means extra hot water?! Honestly regretted for getting a large because I struggled to finish it…that’s how bad it was (I never struggle to finish hot chocolate - I could chug on it all day 😏) A very disappointing experience and I’m very sure that I won’t be returning so soon… 🙅🏻‍♀️

Nice place. They did a lovely latte and a really nice slice of carrot cake, which was perfect when we were having a walk around the university grounds.

Ok. Could be great though, that is my wish. The cakes are all pretty good, and they have a great selection of loads of different drinks, however they are sometimes rushed and poorly executed. As you can see in the picture this is probably the most rushed capp I've ever seen. Bad foam. However sometimes it's good. Would be great if they could improve the consistency. The hot chocolates are also poor, very weak chocolate flavour, they just shove loads of toppings on. Would be so much nicer if they had a strong chocolate baseline, otherwise what's the point.

Oh dear. The place is obviously run by students for students and we visited on graduation day when it was heaving inside and red hot outside. Even so, they got our order wrong three times, first of all tea with milk and hot water but no tea, then they forgot two other drinks and argued we hadn’t ordered them, despite our receipt, finally they said there was no butter for the tea cakes, only jam and then produced a tea cake with butter but no jam!!!

Decent student run tea room, very clean, very quirky. The coffee is of a decent standard and they serve a variety of cakes and pastries. Whilst I haven't been to any of the open mic nights I've heard from friends that they are good fun. Will always come here for a coffee or a quick bite over Costa which is very close by.

Lots of vegan (and therefore vegetarian) options on cakes and drinks. The vegan coffee and walnut cake was seriously delicious and moist. The shop is decorated in light colours with bunting and quirky items to make it feel airy but welcoming. Money goes to the Students Union unlike the Costa next door which doesn't profit the students. Would recommend!

Cute little cafe and good prices. A lovely atmosphere and nice seating areas. However, the staff aren’t too good at going around and collecting the leftover cups and plates of people who have already gone, and the cake was a little dry
