Score
The health department has logged 15 inspections at Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins, the earliest from 2010. Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins was last inspected on Jul 25, 2025. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around five violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed”, which has been cited seven times.
That puts the facility ahead of the local pack: the average Chicago restaurant scores 81. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
