Low Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2021, Sweet Expressions has five inspections in the public record. The most recent report on file is from Aug 21, 2024. When a facility lands in the low risk tier, it usually means nothing alarming showed up at the most recent visit.

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

When inspectors have written things up, “evidence of mice or live mice in establishment's food” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.

Compared to the broader Brooklyn restaurant scene, where the average is 77, this is a stronger showing. The file should reassure diners considering a visit.
