Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

Coffee Spot Cafe appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2024. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 9, 2026. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near four violations per visit across recent inspections.

When inspectors have written things up, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to other Brooklyn restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
