Low Risk NYC Grade: A

La Pastora Bakery has been inspected five times since 2022. On Aug 26, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.

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.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Bronx restaurants. Taken together, the history is a positive one.
