Ozone Coffee — Shoreditch
Speciality coffee (££)
Indicative price at the time of review.
Ozone's original London site off Old Street is the roastery-flagship all-rounder: a large multi-level room that has been a Shoreditch fixture and a long-standing favourite of East London freelancers, with free wifi. It pairs its own-roasted specialty coffee (the roastery is on site) with a full brunch kitchen open until around 3pm, which makes it the pick for a whole working morning or a working brunch. The trade-off is timing: the official Shoreditch page lists a 07:30–16:00 weekday close (indicative), and the room fills fast at weekend brunch, so it edges out on space and food but not on all-day or evening hours.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Largest sit-and-stay space of the shortlist across multiple levels
- Own roastery on site — own-roasted specialty coffee with real credibility
- Full brunch kitchen (open to around 3pm) for a proper working meal
Cons
- Closes at 4pm (indicative) — no evening working
- Fills fast at weekend brunch, so tables of two or more are best booked
