Score
Dunkin Donuts has been inspected 10 times since 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 24, 2026. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around eight violations to closer to four violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “accumulation of black/green mold-like substance” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Compared to other Atlantic Beach restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
