Last inspected:
603 1/2 S. Yonge Street, Ormond Beach, FL 32174Heffer's Kountry Cafe in Ormond Beach has been inspected 25 times since 2016, accumulating 103 violations—an average of 4.1 per inspection, slightly below the statewide average of 5.2. However, the facility exhibits a concerning pattern of recurring high-priority violations centered on employee health and handwashing. Employee health reporting violations appeared in at least 7 of the last 9 inspections, and handwashing procedure violations were cited in 5 of those same inspections. These are fundamental food safety issues that indicate systemic management problems. High-priority violations also included improper cooking temperatures, shell stock handling, and cross-contamination risks. The facility has not experienced an emergency closure. Two recent inspections (July 2025 and July 2024) resulted in administrative complaint recommendations, signaling formal state enforcement escalation. The most recent inspection on January 6, 2026 documented two high-priority employee health violations and two handwashing violations, resulting in "Inspection Completed - No Further Action," though the pattern of similar violations across multiple inspections suggests ongoing compliance challenges.
