Low Risk

Inspectors have visited Dunkin 12 times, with records going back to 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Nov 5, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near one violation per visit.

The pattern that stands out is “discarding or reconditioning unsafe adulterated”, which has been cited three times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Charlestown restaurants. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
