Excellent Health Score
How is this score calculated? →CARIBBEAN CAFE in ST. PETERSBURG currently holds an InspectFL Health Score of 97.5 out of 100 — an A grade for consistent compliance with state food-safety standards. This restaurant has one inspection on record from Florida DBPR, with the most recent inspection on October 27, 2025. Across those visits, inspectors documented 7 total violations — 3 major, 4 minor.
What’s powering this page
InspectFL reorganizes public DBPR inspection records into a page you can actually scan. When imported inspector observations are available, they appear inline. Otherwise, the page falls back to violation categories plus the official DBPR record.
- •Imported DBPR observations appear directly inside inspection entries when available.
- •When note coverage is missing, the official violation record still stays visible.

*Scores are calculated by InspectFL based on public DBPR inspection data and are not official state ratings.
Inspection History
Read the newest inspection first, then scan for patterns. Repeated high-priority findings matter more than one isolated bad day.
