Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2022, Funny Face Bakery has four inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 13, 2025. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately.

The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around four violations to closer to two violations per visit over the last few inspections.

Across the inspection history, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.

Compared to the broader Manhattan restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. There isn't much in the file that would give a customer pause.
