Score
Going back to 2022, Toasted Mango Cafe has 10 inspections in the public record. The newest entry in the record is dated Dec 22, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.
Things have been moving the wrong way, with the rolling count rising from around four violations to closer to six violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “ceiling not smooth”, which has been cited four times.
Compared to other Sarasota restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
