Score
La Vienesa Bakery has been inspected four times since 2024. The newest entry in the record is dated Jan 21, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near eight violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “hand-washing sink supplies” has been the most frequent reason, cited four times.
Compared to other Houston restaurants (averaging 88), there's room to close the gap. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
