Overview

Groves Coffee House in West Palm Beach has compiled a concerning record of repeated high-priority violations across 16 inspections, with employee health policy violations cited in 11 of the last 6 inspections alone. The facility averaged 5.5 violations per inspection, slightly above Florida's statewide average of 5.2, but the pattern is heavily skewed toward serious systemic failures: high-priority employee health violations (sick workers or improper health documentation), food contact surface sanitation failures, improper hand and arm washing, and food handling deficiencies appear across multiple inspections between January 2024 and April 2026. Two disciplinary actions totaling $2,200 in fines have been issued against the facility. The most recent inspection on April 2, 2026 identified 8 violations including two high-priority employee health policy and food contact surface violations, prompting an administrative complaint recommendation. No emergency closures have been issued, but the repeated identification of the same foundational management and employee health violations across a sustained period indicates unresolved compliance issues.
