Medium Risk

Starbucks Coffee has only two inspections on file, a thin record to work from. The newest entry in the record is dated Nov 19, 2025. A medium risk rating points to a few notable findings at the last inspection, though nothing severe.

The trend has not been favorable: recent inspections average around eight violations each, up from closer to three violations before.

Across the inspection history, “testing of the final rinse temperature not done by means” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded two times.

Compared to other Kingwood restaurants (averaging 76), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
