Score
Across the available record, Corner Bakery Cafe has 24 inspections on file, the first dated 2010. The latest inspection on file is from Jul 15, 2021. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Note that Corner Bakery Cafe's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jul 15, 2021; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near four violations per visit.
Looking across the full record, “proper cooling methods used” is the recurring theme, flagged nine times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Chicago restaurants. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
