Score
Bourgeois Pig ! Coffee, Tea & Spices Co. has been inspected 16 times since 2010. On Aug 18, 2020, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners can read the low risk label as a sign that recent inspections have gone well. Note that Bourgeois Pig ! Coffee, Tea & Spices Co.'s inspection history hasn't been updated since Aug 18, 2020; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited 11 times.
Compared to the broader Chicago restaurant scene, where the average is 81, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
