Medium Risk

Going back to 2022, 35 Below Boba Tea has four inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from May 9, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around four violations to closer to eight violations.

When inspectors have written things up, “operating with an expired division of hotels” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
