The inspection history at Original Vanilla Bean is still short, with only one visit logged. On Jul 3, 2024, the health department conducted the most recent visit. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

When inspectors have written things up, person in charge present, demonstrates knowledge, and performs duties has been the most frequent reason, cited one time.

That's lower than the typical South Kingstown restaurant, which scores around 87. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
