HUGS & SARCASM
859 QUEEN ST W · Food Premises
Inspection summary
HUGS & SARCASM has been inspected 4 times by Toronto Public Health since November 23, 2023. The most recent inspection, on April 7, 2025, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct food-handling risks.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 7, 2025. For example:
Proper maintenance / washing of rooms (including washrooms)
