High Risk

Going back to 2022, Ricky Bakery has 14 inspections in the public record. On Mar 26, 2026, the health department conducted the most recent visit. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around 26 violations per visit lately, up from roughly eight violations before.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “no paper towels”, showing up five times.

Restaurants in Miami average 74, so Ricky Bakery trails the local norm. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
