Going back to 2012, Starbucks has 12 inspections in the public record. Inspectors last stopped by on Nov 25, 2024. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near two violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “food and non-food contact surfaces properly designed” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.
