Score
Going back to 2010, Dunkin Donuts has 16 inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 2, 2024. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around three violations to closer to one violation per visit.
Looking across the full record, “thermometers provided & accurate” is the recurring theme, flagged four times.
The city-wide average for Chicago sits at 81, putting Dunkin Donuts on the better side of that line. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
