Score
Public records show five inspections at Dunkin Donuts stretching back to 2023. On Dec 19, 2025, the health department conducted the most recent visit. Low risk indicates the latest report didn't flag anything that would worry the average customer.
The trend has been favorable: violation counts have eased from around 10 violations to closer to four violations per visit over the last few inspections.
The pattern that stands out is “storage of maintenance equipment/tools in areas”, which has been cited two times.
That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Ocala restaurants. The full picture is one of consistent compliance.
