Score
Starbucks Coffee has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2025. High risk usually means inspectors flagged either critical violations or a stack of smaller ones.
The picture has gotten worse over the last few visits, with the average climbing from around six violations to closer to eight violations.
The pattern that stands out is “non-food contact surfaces clean”, which has been cited two times.
Starbucks Coffee's latest score of 52 falls below the Philadelphia average of 72. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
