I ate at the cleanest looking caf and still got sick Spotless floors. Matching plates. 4.8 stars on google. Google stars tell you the vibe, not the kitchen. Day 2: I was on the bathroom floor by 3am. The spot had sick reports that week. I just never checked. Aesthetic is not safety. I learned that the expensive way. Now I check the score first. Free, takes 30 seconds.
