Score
Asado Coffee Company appears in inspection records nine times, starting in 2010. On Mar 16, 2017, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Asado Coffee Company's record stops at Mar 16, 2017, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.
Recent inspections have found fewer violations than earlier ones, averaging around three violations lately and about six violations before that.
“Food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.
Among Chicago restaurants, this is a fairly standard result. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
