Score
Going back to 2022, Mayday Ice Creams has five inspections in the public record. The latest inspection on file is from Nov 14, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Recent visits have produced comparable findings, with counts hovering near six violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “no chemical test kit provided when using sanitizer”, which has been cited three times.
