Cosmic Cafe — questions
- Did Cosmic Cafe pass its last health inspection?
- Cosmic Cafe at 1300 S Lake Shore Dr was inspected on Oct 29, 2025 by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the result was "No Entry". Across 22 inspections on record it has failed 4 times.
- What does "Risk 1 (High)" mean?
- Chicago assigns every food establishment a risk category based on how much food handling it does. Risk 1 (High) covers full-service restaurants and is inspected most often; Risk 2 (Medium) and Risk 3 (Low) — such as places serving only pre-packaged food — are inspected less frequently.
