Dunkin Donuts appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 27, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Inspection results have stayed in a similar range over the last few visits, averaging around five violations each.
“Nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease” comes up most often, recorded four times in the inspection record.
That's lower than the typical Cocoa Beach restaurant, which scores around 77. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
