Score
Dunkin' Donuts appears in inspection records five times, starting in 2023. Inspectors last stopped by on Feb 20, 2026. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near seven violations per visit across recent inspections.
Across the inspection history, “non-food contact surfaces clean” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.
Compared to other Philadelphia restaurants (averaging 72), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
