I come to Mio Express regularly for my morning drink to get my day started.
My favourite breakfast item is the english muffin breakfast. It is filling, delicious and non greasy. Their scrambled egg is well cooked, and topped with spinach, melting cheese and bacon, it becomes a lovely delicacy to start the day right.
What I find very amusing is their rotating cast of cashier girls, and boys. The current cast is a bit devoid of personality but they are friendly.
What can become irritating is the obnoxious suit who somehow pushes in front of you. But Mio has no control of the crowd right? -

Sometime aftter I started working downtown, the stars aligned and I stumbled upon Mio. This cute little coffee/breakfast/lunch express spot is worth the trip to Scotiaplaza, even if you've got to explore the PATH a little to get there.
I'm more of a latte girl, but I am in love with their drip coffee (which says a lot). It's IIly coffee - huge win for coffee lovers out there who can't bring themselves to drink the office "coffee". They also offer 'stamp cards' for frequent buyers - Buy 6 coffees, get one free!
Check it out! -

Came in to redeem my coupon today as http://PathDeals.com had a deal for $10 for 5 Small Lattés. Mio RistoBar is located in the Scotia Bank Plaza on King Street. There is a sit down restaurant as well as an express café that sells sandwiches, coffees, fruit cups, etc. It should be noted that they use Illy coffee, which is a personal favourite of mine.
My coupon was for the Express Café. I walked up to the counter and redeemed my coupon, and unlike other businesses who are featured and doing promotions on these "Deal of the Day" websites, mine was accepted with a smile. I have no complaints about my latté but have had better elsewhere. Next time I'll have to go back and try their food items. -

I met a friend here for lunch today, as it's conveniently located halfway between our respective offices. We arrived at around 1:00pm, no reservation, and there were plenty of tables available. Once we were seated, our server (Ken, I believe) came over to fill our water glasses and inform us of the daily lunch specials.
I've been a bit under the weather lately, so I ordered the minestrone soup, and my friend chose the crab and ricotta ravioli. Ken disappeared, then we waited...and waited...and waited. When our food finally arrived, we both enjoyed our dishes, although I found the presentation of the soup to be a little thoughtless - it was served in a huge bowl which was noticeably dirty around the outside, and the bowl was so big that at one point my entire spoon fell into the soup (*embarrassing*).
I would give the food three stars, but I found the service and overall experience to be quite poor. I had to ask to have my water refilled after it sat empty for a lengthy period of time, and I'm pretty sure I saw Ken drinking a glass of wine as I sat with an empty bowl in front of me. Eventually someone else came to clear our plates away, as Ken was standing around with a group of employees and seemed blissfully unaware of the fact that we had finished our meals. Given that we were some of the only people in the restaurant, I don't understand why the service was so shoddy.
If you want to eat decent food somewhere other than a food court in the PATH, Mio might be a good choice...but make sure nobody will notice if you take an extended lunch break, first.
