Public records show five inspections at Kahve stretching back to 2022. Kahve was last inspected on Jan 25, 2024. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones. Public records show no inspections at Kahve since Jan 25, 2024, so this file may not reflect current conditions.
Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around 15 violations lately compared to roughly 10 violations before.
When inspectors have written things up, “current hotel and restaurant license not displayed” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.
That's lower than the typical Jacksonville restaurant, which scores around 74. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
