Overview

Starbucks Coffee in Tampa has two FDACS inspections on record since January 2023. The most recent inspection on November 13, 2025 documented five violations, all of which were corrected on site.

A carafe of half and half creamer in the retail area was being held using time as a public health control but lacked required time-removal and discard-time markings; the carafe was properly marked during the inspection. A prior January 2023 inspection identified one violation. The facility met sanitation inspection requirements at the most recent inspection.
