Score

Medium Risk

Dunkin Donuts has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. Inspectors last stopped by on Jul 19, 2024. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately compared to roughly five violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “adequate handwashing facilities supplied & accessible” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That's lower than the typical Philadelphia restaurant, which scores around 72. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
