Score
Dunkin Donuts has been inspected 10 times since 2022. Dunkin Donuts was last inspected on Feb 3, 2026. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near two violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “ventilation hood systems filters” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
Compared to other Roslindale restaurants (averaging 85), there's room to close the gap. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
