Ari Bakery Cafe in Davie

Last inspected:

4900 S University Dr. Suite # 110, Davie, FL 33328
Overview

Ari Bakery Cafe, a specialty food shop in Davie, has had 2 inspections on record since October 2022, with a combined 11 violations. A complaint-based inspection in November 2025 cited 7 violations, including critical gaps in employee health policy knowledge and sanitation practices. The person in charge did not correctly answer questions about food-borne illness prevention and employee reporting responsibilities. The facility lacked written procedures for responding to vomiting and diarrheal events, and no probe thermometer was available for verifying temperatures of time-temperature-control-for-safety foods — the inspector provided one during the inspection. A sanitizer test strip was not available in the backroom, and a dirty spoon was found in the handwashing sink adjacent to the coffee station; the utensil was removed and proper sink usage was discussed with management. An earlier inspection in October 2022 documented a high-priority employee health policy violation — the establishment had no formal policy requiring sick employees to report symptoms to management — along with missing vomiting and diarrhea cleanup procedures and a handwashing sink blocked by a rack, which was corrected on site. Employee health guidelines, reporting agreements, and food safety procedural guidance were provided by FDACS via email following both inspections.
