Score
Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Starbucks appears in inspection records three times, starting in 2023. On Aug 11, 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.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material” has been the most frequent reason, cited three times.

Among Brooklyn restaurants, the typical score is 77; Starbucks is comfortably above that bar. The record reflects steady performance over time.
