Medium Risk

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The newest entry in the record is dated Feb 17, 2023. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical. The file hasn't been updated since Feb 17, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around five violations compared to roughly seven violations earlier on.

“Food-contact surface soiled with food debris” comes up most often, recorded two times in the inspection record.

By comparison, the average Clearwater facility scores 79, putting Cafe Cure on the weaker side. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
