Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Joe Coffee six times, with records going back to 2022. On May 6, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near four violations each time.

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 Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
