High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

El Gran Coffee Shop appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Nov 1, 2025. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

The trend has been moving in the right direction: eight violations last time, six this time.

When inspectors have written things up, filth flies or food/refuse/sewage associated with (FRSA) flies has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

The city-wide average sits at 75, which El Gran Coffee Shop's 50 doesn't quite reach. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
