How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Ozone is top notch. You don't get much better than this. The only real downside is that they're slightly victims of their own success. It can be really crowded at times.

One of my favourite brunch spots in shoreditch. Amazing eggs Benedict on potato Patties (bubble and squeak Benedict on the menu). The scrambled eggs on toast are so creamy and crispy. They’re experts in both coffee and food with an open kit...

The guy behind the counter didn’t know anything about coffee. He couldn’t even answer a simple question or explain the difference between an El Salvador or Guatemala when I wanted to buy some beans. “Read the package”. Well, I have, and I s...

High Prices and Service Charges

Reviewers note that the food and drinks are quite expensive and express frustration over the automatic 15% service charge.

Been coming here for years so want to give a good review but please think about the 17% service charge you are slapping onto each bill. It adds up, and sometimes I’ll opt to go elsewhere. The staff are always really polite and friendly, bu...

Lovely spot for breakfast/lunch. Bit of a wait to be seated but we'll worth it. Fresh dishes and served quickly. Coffee is fantastic too and the Ozone Tonic is worth a try!

Easily one of my favourite places for a coffee in London. Ozone does everything with care and perfection. The coffee was of course great but even the food and baked goods were excellent. Service was also quick and efficient. I’d highly recommend Ozone to anyone looking for that caffeine kick.
