Score
Going back to 2022, Fusion Bowl Caphe has 10 inspections in the public record. On Mar 12, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Things have been moving in the right direction, with the rolling count dropping from around seven violations to closer to five violations per visit.
When inspectors have written things up, “food stored on floor” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
Compared to other Tampa restaurants (averaging 79), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
