Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

The health department has logged three inspections at Metro Cafe, the earliest from 2024. The latest inspection on file is from Sep 24, 2025. When a facility lands in medium risk territory, it usually means a mixed inspection result.

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

The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material”, which has been cited three times.

Compared to other Bronx restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
