Overview

Starbucks #10728 in Palm Coast had one inspection on record. A November 2025 sanitation inspection documented eight violations, including priority-level failures in chemical sanitizer concentration, temperature control for house-made protein milk, and handwashing procedures.

House-made protein milk held at 43°F in an undercounter cooler was rapidly cooled to 41°F within 15 minutes of discovery. Food service employees were washing hands in sinks without warm water; a plumber was called and supplied hot water to both handwashing sinks by the end of the inspection, and employees re-washed with warm water. Additional violations included a missing irreversible temperature device for the dish machine and failure to provide hot water at handwashing sinks.
