Medium Risk

Public records show seven inspections at Crepes Cafe stretching back to 2022. Crepes Cafe was last inspected on Dec 3, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around eight violations to closer to 11 violations per visit.

When inspectors have written things up, “unsealed concrete floor in food preparation” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Restaurants in Miami average 74, so Crepes Cafe trails the local norm. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
