The health department has logged eight inspections at Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club, the earliest from 2014. Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club was last inspected on Apr 17, 2017. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Public records show no inspections at Bryn Mawr Breakfast Club since Apr 17, 2017, so this file may not reflect current conditions.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “walls, ceilings, attached equipment constructed per code” has been the most frequent reason, cited six times.
