Score
Capital Bagel appears in inspection records seven times, starting in 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Sep 3, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “no paper towels” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
The city-wide average sits at 85, which Capital Bagel's 55 doesn't quite reach. The full record sits in fairly typical territory for a working restaurant.
