Blueline Coffee

4917 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60630
Café / Breakfast
Last inspected: Dec 16, 2019

Score
Low Risk

There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The latest inspection on file is from Dec 16, 2019. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer. Blueline Coffee's record stops at Dec 16, 2019, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around three violations, down from roughly seven violations earlier in the record.

The pattern that stands out is “management, food employee and conditional employee”, which has been cited two times.

Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
