Mati's the Coffee Company appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2019. On Mar 11, 2022, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk means the most recent visit produced few or no significant findings. Note that Mati's the Coffee Company's inspection history hasn't been updated since Mar 11, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around two violations to closer to four violations per visit.
