There aren't many inspections to draw from yet: just two so far. The most recent report on file is from Jul 13, 2023. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe. Breakfast Heaven's record stops at Jul 13, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around five violations to closer to seven violations.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “food & non-food contact surfaces cleanable”, showing up two times.

Compared to the broader Philadelphia restaurant scene, this is about average. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
