Nice place to have some break and have some lunch and tea. Definitely visit once. Mostly students who study at Warwick University spend some time here while they are waiting to get on another lecture at westwood warwick campus.

I had a very warm welcome from Leticia at Cafe Aroma, Westwood Campus, Warwick University on Friday 22nd April 2022 and enjoyed my lunch break. Sadly Beth wasn't there on that day but I thank Beth very much for the two bags of Aroma goodies that Leticia handed to me. I also thank Leticia for taking several photos of me inside Cafe Aroma. I also met Aggie and Simon Thomas who I thank, they kindly gave me a very interesting guided tour of the two Caffe Nero's at Warwick University. Simon also took a photo of me outside Cafe Aroma and another inside Caffe Nero, Sports Hub. He also kindly drove me back to Coventry to enable me to continue my Alan's Nero Tour weekend of the West Midlands.

The new improved cafe is more relaxing and has a fresher atmosphere. It would be very helpful if the electric points worked and the computers were put back in for those of us based on Westwood campus to use and get work done. The newly gentrified cafe is not upto scratch as it only serves unhealthy pre packaged hot foods and very limited snacks - which at times people may feel forced to buy as this is the only eatery on this side of the Warwick campus. However, the installation of microwave ovens is great as you can save money by bringing in your own food to heat up.

It's located inside the Westwood campus of university of Warwick. They have a Cafe Nero inside and some vending machines too. However, you don't any hot food to eat. But, some sandwiches, crisps and coffee are available. A brightly lit area with good variety if seating as well. Ok, to be here for sometime.

This cafe is on the oldest campus of University of Warwick, it has a mixture of different seating including outside seating. It has a soup station and does baked potatoes other than that it's sandwiches and wraps. There is free wifi. It's not a great place, I wouldn't choose it for a meal or anything but I've given it 4 stars because it's there. Without it there would be nowhere to get food or drink on that campus.
