Overview

City Cafe in Jacksonville operated with persistent compliance challenges across 25 inspections spanning multiple years. The facility accumulated 124 total violations, averaging 4.96 per inspection—slightly below the statewide average of 5.2 but driven by wide variability: a single September 2025 inspection documented 27 violations, including multiple high-priority findings for employee health policy, time as control, and parasite destruction. Employee health reporting violations appeared in at least five separate inspections, and parasite destruction was cited repeatedly across the record. The facility faced recurring fire safety violations related to cooking equipment producing grease-laden vapors with no hood suppression system installed, documented in January 2023, February 2024, and September 2024. No emergency closures were issued. The most recent inspection on December 15, 2025 resulted in one routine food inspection with zero violations (Call Back - Complied) and a second inspection completing with six basic violations and no further action required, though a December 3, 2025 inspection remains pending with an extension given after citing employee health reporting violations.
