I find a lot of coffee places just don't really want you stay and they have hard, uncomfy furniture to reflect that. But not here! This place often has events that extend its opening hours, too. My favourite is the 'big comfy folk club' which are folk and acoustic sessions hosted on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. Next one is on 4th March and tickets are only a fiver! Brilliant intimate venue, and the performers usually stick around for a while afterwards which is nice (: OH ALSO, WINE! The big comfy book shop serves alcohol! Live music + book shop + cake + red wine = total winner. See you on the 4th!

I really like The Big Comfy Bookshop!…read more It is a quant used book shop that is family owned. The owner spent over a year compiling books to open his shop, and ever since has kept a good variety of books that are unique to customers, or a popular search result of a used book. There is always fresh coffee, tea options, beer and wine, and some sort of snacks like crisps or cake for sale. Seating is available to hang out with friends for a little while or to start tucking into your future purchase. Also I noticed that live folk music nights and game nights regularly occur here too! Great place!

I'm quite torn on this location…read more It is fully functional, and the company in general offers a lot of great options at this location, but it is just so old and starting to get a bit tatty. Pros: fresh food market hall downstairs, proper cafe upstairs, click and collect, M&S quality products, mens, womens, and children's clothing, and M&S has started their own rewards Sparks card. Located in the mall, so there's a parking garage from the elevators. Cons: quite small, very small feeling in fact, old flooring and lighting, needs a new coat of paint, cafe looks really outdated, poorly laid out, and their clothing selection mostly caters here for the elderly. And the toilets are super old and half of the time are never functioning. I heard that most of Coventry City Center will be knocked down and rebuilt, and I think if this place wants to stand a chance against the new high class shops arriving within the next few years, then corporate better offer a full face lift, expansion, and start catering towards the University Students. All in all, I still shop here weekly and will continue to do so, but I see so much more potential at this M&S!

It has extensive standard ranges as well as petitie, plus sizeand maternity ranges. New Look always has a great range of reasonably priced tshirts, jeans as well as more sphisticated going out wares. The tills on the upper floor can be a nightmare at weekends just like elsewhere but the changing rooms are good and roomy. From the upper floor its easy to access the rest of the shopping precint or to go for that well deserved coffee.

Upstairs there seems to be lots of space and not a lot of shops. In fact, I couldn't even tell you what was up there, so seems a bit of a waste of space. The toilets are grim, often flooded, but they were the first place I ever saw the Dyson airblade hand driers, which redeem themselves slightly. Normally would only come here to go to Wilkos. As others have said, blocks out what would be a lovely view of the cathedral and church and some of Coventry's remaining lovely architecture. Maybe not the best location.

I am a massive IKEA fan! Each one is the same... but different. Most have their basic products, but…read moresometimes their minor product range is different depending on the location and country. I know this for a fact, as I've been to IKEAs in nearly every western European country and USA! "Why?" you might ask!? Because it's so much fun! And I can Always rely on a scrumptious and affordable meal in their cafes! This location is basically the same as all the others, but in my opinion it is much larger! One of the biggest buildings in central Coventry! It has 3 floors of parking and 6 or more floors in the building total! Your main starting point is on the floor with 'showrooms'. You can find this floor via the 4 massive elevators from the parking garage. Once you manage to make your way through that, the next level down is smaller individual items for sale, like kitchenware, bedding, storage etc. Then the final level down is the massive warehouse of huge items in boxes to buy. I hope you wrote your item # down somewhere or took a pic on your phone, because there's never many people on this floor to help you! Before the check out, be sure to stop by the discounted area. These are the items that someone returned, partially broken, or old showroom furniture. The checkout queues are usually a bit of a wait, but this location has a self service area if you only have a few things. I suggest eating at the cafe before you shop. At this location it is located on the top floor, near the toilets, and conveniently before you begin with the showrooms. Sometimes I get carried away that after shopping I have so much stuff my trolley won''t fit in the cafe seating area. If that happens, put everything in your car and head back up. (Hassle) The cafe offers a wide selection of full meals at very reasonable prices. And desserts, drinks of all sorts, etc. There is also an area for nursing and a small kids play area. Coventrys IKEA won't let you go home hungry! They've even got a second smaller cafe down stairs on the groundfloor, and another quick one after the tills! Also after the tills is a small geocery store with packaged goods to take home and make for dinner. And don't feel bad about dragging you little ones through the place for a couple hours... because there is actually a daycare center here to let them get off all their steam! Tips and Tricks: Join the IKEA Family card program to get a free type of insurance on faulty products. This card also gets you free coffee or tea any time of day... and discounts of select main courses. It also allows for you to know about upcoming events. Last but not least, scan your club card receipt after every shop for a special spurise! Use the loo before you shop, because once you're in the IKEA "maizes", it takes quite some time to actually get out! Allow yourself enough time to lose yourself in the creative mindset of what your potential home or office space could become! This is a creative space! Coventrys location allows you to validate your parking ticket after shopping. Also if you enter your car around the secret back side entrance, you can save some time and park on the ground floor. This is also useful for walking around the city center so not to navigate stairs or elevators. Enjoy & good luck!
