Medium Risk

The health department has logged five inspections at Dunkin Donuts, the earliest from 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Oct 21, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The picture has improved over the last few visits: recent inspections have averaged around four violations, down from roughly six violations earlier in the record.

When inspectors have written things up, “time/temperature control for safety food cold held” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

The city-wide average sits at 77, which Dunkin Donuts' 61 doesn't quite reach. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
