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. 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.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations.

It was a hidden gem I’ve just founded.Exquisite coffee I barely know,with unique vibe to enjoy though it’s a bit narrow seating areas.

A fantastic little roastery and coffee shop. We have been using their beans in our coffee machine for months after realising our fav breakfast place (Ezra and Gill) uses their beans. Also a great little place for a quick takeaway coffee or drink in.
