Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Inspectors have visited Starbucks three times, with records going back to 2023. The newest entry in the record is dated Mar 4, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Performance has remained roughly level inspection to inspection, near three violations each time.

Non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material comes up most often, recorded three times in the inspection record.

That's lower than the typical Manhattan restaurant, which scores around 77. Pulling back, there's nothing alarming, though there's room to improve.
