What a gem at Yonge and Eglinton. Right across from Oretta and a 3 min walk from eglinton station. We got there around 11:30 only waited a few minutes. Not a big spot at all and some seating in a covered patio. But it was an endless stream of customers. We did not make reservations and since we did not wait long. Not sure if that is the typical case on weekends. They have a patio in the summer time too out front. We all ordered somerhing slightly different but we all enjoyed each dish. I chose rhe lemon ricotta and pears French toast and my friends chose a traditional eggs Benny and their breakfast morning platter. Home fries are yum!!! Service was good. They kept coming to check on us and refilling our water and coffee. This is a good spot!! read more

Super solid brunch! The standout for me was the matcha strawberry biscoff parfait which was INSANELY GOOD! Highly recommend anyone order that. The matcha was perfectly light&airy and almost whipped like a meringue texture. Super potent; the matcha was very strong which surprised me We also ordered the eggs Benny which was delicious but standard! My boyfriend's Cortado wasn't the best coffee he's ever had but came w some beautiful latte art. That being said, The service was fantastic! They were able to squeeze us in during the Mother's Day brunch rush. I will say it was quite loud in there but luckily we were seated outside where it was a bit quieter read more

3.5/5 this place is aesthetically a nice weekend brunch spot to hang with your friends. it's definitely a fancier take on brunch. we got the eggs benedict and crunchy french toast. both are average brunch foods, the highlight for me was actually the potatoes that came with the eggs benedict... it's almost like a smashed potato? i would come back for the potatoes! verdict: i wouldn't go out of my way for this brunch, but if you're in the area it's worthwhile to check out. read more

MIA Brunch Bar located along Yonge St. near Hillsdale Ave. is a casual restaurant serving up daily brunch. One of the only options for brunch in the midtown Toronto area, this place is typically walk in only although they may hold a few tables for reservations. The restaurant is small, where there is dining as well as bar seating available. When the weather is nice they have a small outdoor patio as well at the front. My friend and I dined at MIA Brunch Bar on a Sunday around 11am. The place was busy so be prepared to wait if you have a large party. If you have a party of 2 there may be a less of a wait but it would still depend on the time of day you go. My friend was lucky enough to grab us both a table when she arrived. Service wise, staff are friendly and they do get busy. However, we were able to place our order and our food arrived at a reasonable time. The vibes of the restaurant are casual, but it does get pretty loud in there as some tables are quite close together. As a result you end up having to sometimes yell. You are also able to hear others' conversations as well. Food wise, we ordered the following items: - French smoked salmon omelette (avocado, smoked salmon, asparagus, dill cream cheese, chives, salad, brioche toast) - $25 - Avocado toasts (2 eggs any way, smashed avocado, tomatoes, crumbled feta, balsamic glaze, multigrain rye bread, salad, home fries) - $23 Portion wise, both dishes were filling! My French smoked salmon omelette was tasty and I was definitely full afterwards. It was nothing outstanding but a solid dish. Overall, a decent brunch spot in the midtown area. Be prepared to wait as there may be line ups on the weekends! read more

Back after a few years! We came here around 10am on a Sunday and were seated right away in the back. By the time we left though there was a line. I got the avocado toast again but with sunny side up eggs. I felt it was a okay! I think their iced latte espresso was quite strong and didn't feel good on my stomach. I loved the potatoes and they give a good amount. The avocad smash was okay as well. Really filling and solid brunch with excellent service. read more

A couple of friends and I decided to grab a quick brunch, and one of them suggested Mia. I checked out the menu beforehand (I'm definitely an Eggs Benedict kind of girl! ) and was excited to see some great options. The ambiance here is super cute, and it's nice that you can choose to dine inside or outside depending on the weather. We had a big group of seven, and the service was fantastic! The staff made sure we had everything we needed and were super friendly throughout. That said, we were seated near the garbage bins, which wasn't ideal--there were a lot of wasps buzzing around, which kind of took away from the experience. As for the Eggs Benedict, it was just okay. I've had better at other places, and for the price and portion size, I felt like it was a little on the expensive side. But I get it--this spot is on Yonge Street, so rent probably isn't cheap! Would I return? Probably not, but it's definitely a cute place to check out if you're in the area and looking for a nice, cozy brunch spot! read more

What I like about the chicken and waffle is that the fried chicken reminds me of turkey dinner stuffing. A nostalgic taste. The chicken were fried perfectly, still juicy. Unfortunately, the waffles were on the cold side and nothing about it stood out. Very friendly spot often with a line out of the door. read more

Phenomenal pancakes. By far the best item on the menu. Other items are pretty good, but don't compare. read more

Tried this spot on a weekday afternoon and it was as packed on a weekday afternoon. So that's a good sign. The space is clean and modern looking. You can sit at the bar or grab one of the tables. There is a lot of natural light from the large windows. The service was great. The staff is energetic and cheerful. They navigated a busy brunch crowd with apparent ease. We had an order of pancakes and chicken and waffles. The deep fried chicken was delicious. It was crispy and juicy. The the smoked bacon bits really completed the dish. The pancakes were average. They came as an assorted stack (a plain pancake a blueberry pancake and a chocolate chip pancake). I've never encountered anything like this and am not a fan personally. However, I can see someone else enjoying the diversity of flavor. Where MIA loses points is their insistence on serving "table syrup" instead of maple syrup. Syrup is not the place to save money. Not for a brunch bar, and definitely not in Canada. read more

Very enjoyable brunch! We went on Saturday around 11:30 and were lucky enough to get a table for 2 straight away. We had the pineapple/orange juice mimosa which was great and I ordered chicken and waffles with the maple crème drizzle. The drizzle was perfect, just a dash of sweetness. Also excellent black coffee. A little loud but a cute spot! read more

I hadn't been here in a few years, but it's just as solid a choice for brunch as it ever was! Patio fills up quickly so we had to sit inside. Not a big deal since it's a well appointed restaurant.

Coworker recommended this place and off I went with a friend on a weekday around 1pm. We waited approximately five minutes for a table to be cleaned up but otherwise were seated promptly. I feel like Mia is more than 3.5 but just shy of 4. We ordered the chicken waffles and avocado toast. The food took a while to arrive but our lattes arrived quickly. Not a big fan of their latte. The chicken was juicy and I liked the sweet sauce on top. The waffles were a nice texture and not too dense. The avocado toast you can pick the way you like your eggs and I got them soft poached. The home fries were sadly cold. Otherwise I enjoyed the overall plate. I would come back if I'm need of a brunch place midtown and I definitely do want to try their French toast! read more

MIA has been on my radar for some time, and I finally came here on a Saturday morning with two girlfriends. We arrived around 10:30, and got seated past 11. The hostess was informing everyone that there was a wasp issue on the back patio, which meant most were waiting for an indoor table. There was a steady stream of customers during our entire meal, so be prepared for a wait if you're coming for weekend brunch. I ordered the Crunchy French Toast with an iced latte. My friends got the Chicken Belgian Waffles & Eggs Benedict. Everyone seemed really happy with their food - I loved the textures of my french toast and the sweetness of the toppings. Great brunch option in the growing food scene at Yonge & Eglinton. read more

Absolutely splendid brunch here. The food was so good that I pretty much licked the plate clean. These are the best chicken waffles (~$19) I've had in awhile. Unfortunately did not get to take any home, but I'm still thinking about how juicy the chicken was, and how delicious the sauce was. read more

MIA Brunch Bar - Fried chicken and waffles, which were around $19 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - North York, Ontario

Their chai tea latte ($5.50 - $5 with $0.5 supplement for oat milk) was a wonderful way to warm up while pursuing the menu. Fragrant and perfectly sweetened, it was just what I needed to melt the cold shivers away. All before tucking into a plate of chicken Belgian waffles ($19), the dish that enticed me to book the reservation in the first place. The three thick pieces of fried dark meat had a well-seasoned crispy crust, which looks thick but is rather light with the excess batter breaking away while cutting into the chicken. They were juicy and tender and could easily find a home between a soft bun to become an amazing fried chicken sandwich. read more

I've been coming to this place the past year and it's a regular favorite! There's always a line on the weekend, so I recommend going when they open to get seated. During the summer there is a garden patio at the back of the restaurant for more seating. Pros: Good food and portions. The pancakes, and fried chicken are a regular favorite of mine. Most recently tried the poutine and it was delicious ! Decent service, friendly staff but sometimes a bit slow when they get overwhelmed by the amount of people (if there's a rush). Cons: Drink selection and portion could be improved, imo. Coffee is not the best and is a very small portion. I usually get coffee after my brunch. Price: Fairly standard - 4/5 Seating: Limited in the Winter but back patio is quite nice in the Summer- 4/5 Taste: Delicious! 5/5 Service: Great people but a bit slow during rushes 3.5/5 read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday around noon and there was a 20-minute wait. They have lots of seating available either at their outdoor front patio, back patio (I recommended waiting for a table here), or indoors. Unfortunately the back patio is always packed so we chose to sit in the front to avoid a long wait. It's a little noisy and busy because it faces the main street and you also see the huge line of people waiting for a table right in front. The service was good and despite being outdoors, our server came to check up on us pretty often to see if we needed more water. My friends ordered the avocado toast with eggs and smoked salmon and I tried their chicken and waffles. We also tried their grapefruit juice, iced latte, and mango smoothie. The drinks itself were pretty average and a little expensive ($6 for my iced latte) so I recommend going down the street to grab a coffee after. There's a bunch of nice cafes in this area. The food itself was delicious and did I mention AESTHETIC. The chicken and waffles came with 4 big pieces of chicken and it was crispy and juicy with loads of flavour. My only complaint about my dish is that the waffle was a little dry. My friends both loved their avocado toast and said that everything tasted fresh. I highly recommend coming here for a cute brunch if you're in the midtown area! read more

Wonderfully warm and friendly service here. Great little brunch spot just a block south of from Yonge/Eglinton. I sat inside because I didn't want to wait for a patio table but their hidden back patio looked so lovely. Front patio is small but dog friendly, and good if you like people watching. We got our cookies first and they were fresh out of the oven! Very ooey gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside. Eggs Benny were perfectly runny and came with hash brownand side salad. I opted to add avocado and smoked salmon because that's just a winning combo! It usually comes with English Muffin but I asked to have it removed which they happily did. French Toast is encrusted in cornflakes for added crunch and texture! The maple cream was just the right hint of maple sweet, but they also give you maple syrup on the side if you want to drench it in syrup. Would definitely come back! read more

We had such a pleasant time eating brunch here last weekend. Excellent service and covid practices. You can dine inside and outside as they have front & back patios (very nice on a sunny day). There are only four tables in the dining area which opens up the space quite nicely allowing sunlight to pour in, and makes for really nice photos. With the large window you have a great view of Yonge St. So even though we had a long 30ish min wait for our food, at least the dining area was nice to sit in. And when our food arrived, it was totally worth the wait. I absolutely loved their chicken and waffles! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and soo juicy on the inside. The warmth of the juices and all its flavour linger in your mouth even after you're finished. Just amazing. One of the best chicken I've had. It's coupled with a caramel glaze to go with the waffles. I was so sad to finish my plate, I wanted more!! The avocado smoothie was perfect as well. Light, creamy and refreshing, not too sweet, kept me wanting more too. I would totally order this combination again. The servers were friendly and polite. Big smiles all around giving off welcoming vibes. MIA really gave me a good lasting impression. As we left I shared with my boyfriend that I would love to come back again. Even though we're a 40-min drive away, I can't wait to be back for our next #brunchdate! read more

Came to have brunch on a Tuesday, didn't have to wait long for a table. Once, we are seated we get to order right away. The holiday hot chocolate has marshmallow, cinnamon and candy cane on top, but can't really taste the hazelnut. The presentation of each plate is beautiful and the taste did not disappoint us. First, the chicken waffle, the chicken is juicy and has a right flavour, but the waffle is kinda soft. Then the avocado toast, beautiful egg yolk with balsamic and cheese, is a nice combination. The egg Benny is great too, love their potato sides. Overall, great place for brunch. read more

Long wait but MIA is a nice place for brunch in Toronto, their burger with egg is very good and I loved their Putine.

Love how when you order pancakes, all 3 pancakes are a different flavor so you don't get sick of them!- regular, blueberry and chocolate chip. It also comes with this amazing maple whipped cream that is so delicious. Their chicken and waffles is also delicious, usually I'm not a big fan because the waffles are soggy but this one wasn't! And the fried chicken is so good. I've also had the smoked salmon omelette which is basically smoked salmon and greens rolled in an egg wrap. Personally I thought it was just ok, and wouldn't order again. The salmon taste is really strong, which I enjoyed but not everyone may like it. Overall, I wish they had a little bit more options to pick from on their menu. Too bad they don't have eggs benny. read more

Very cute brunch spot with a lovely outdoor back space with seating. Usually very busy the times I have been with wait time (they text when table is ready). Service is very friendly. Food is delicious (hence I've been many times). The only downside is it can get quite busy and especially if you sit inside, it can feel busy, loud and a little hectic. read more

One on of the last warmish days of the year, I wanted to hit a patio and MIA Brunch Bar had been on my radar for quite a while. We showed up around lunchtime on a Saturday and the place was surprisingly crowded, although we were able to snag a sweet table on the joint's back patio. (That back patio, by the way, is fantastic. I'd easily rank it as one of the best patios in the Yonge/Eglinton area, if not the best.) After considering a bunch of tasty-sounding options, I finally decided to go with the Rise n' Shine Burger ("6.5oz handmade beef patty, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, pickles, sunny side up egg, french fries"). It arrived about 20 minutes later and the presentation was definitely impressive. (The pickles had been shaped like a heart and everything.) But this was not quite the delicious burger I'd been hoping for, ultimately. The various condiments were fine, but the patty was cooked a little too close to well done for my liking (i.e. this was one dry hamburger), and I wasn't crazy about the various spices that had been mixed into the patty. The fries were tasty, though, and I certainly enjoyed my Brown Derby cocktail. I think that patio is the big draw for MIA at this point. I will return at some point to try some of their other offerings, to be sure. read more

Only one word to describe: AMAZING. I've come here 3 weeks in a row now since first trying this place out. It actually take me a 45min drive from Markham to get here, but it's totally worth it. I've been getting the same thing every time: Fluffy Pancake Trio, a side of scrambled eggs, and grapefruit juice. Their scrambled eggs are perfection--lightly seasoned, fully cooked, but still moist. I never knew I could be so impressed with something as simple as a scrambled egg, and from that I knew this place is special. The pancakes come in original, blueberry, and chocolate flavours, are fluffy as promised, and crispy on the edges. Where else can you get 3 flavours of pancakes on one plate!? They're the best pancakes I've had in Toronto, even better than popular places like Mildred's Temple Kitchen out west, and Sophie's and Eggstatic on Bayview (though Eggstatic's Lotus Biscoff Pancakes comes close). I really should try the other items on the menu, but I love the pancakes so much that I keep coming back for it. And for those who love their brunch with a cocktail, this place offers a few choices, not just Mimosa. read more

Came here a few weeks ago and they changed how they make their pancakes, they tried to make them fluffy and thicker but it is actually alot denser. I was really disappointed because I loved how their pancakes were before and was always nagging my wife to come here. read more

On a Saturday late morning, my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try for our brunch. There is a nice back patio with trees around, which was a huge plus on a hot summer day. We ordered several items (eggs, home fries, fried chicken, salad and pancake). We really liked fried chicken (juicy and crispy) and the avocado bruschetta and salad were good as well. At the end we also ordered pancake since it's supposed to be very popular. Probably I had higher expectation than I should have. I thought the pancakes were good but not mind-blowing like some reviewers have described. However, their maple cream is awesome, so do give it a try. Overall, good food quality and good atmosphere, and good staff. read more

Brunch review! GREAT! Street parking is available in front of the store but limited! MIA has a nice vibe to it! It was packed when we got it! Wait time was short although we were a party of 5! But smaller parties (2-3) seems to wait longer! The staff are friendly but were overwhelmed! Probably because the place was packed! It took about 20-30min to serve the food! The kitchen is clearly busy and number of servers was short so our fries and pancakes were cold! The food (mushroom burger, chicken waffle, pancakes and rise and shine burger) were amazing! Nicely cooked and very tasty (except that pancakes were cold)! Overall a place that you should try! I bet you will enjoy it! I will go back again! read more

We had the BEST brunch. Best avocado on toast in Toronto! Hands down! Eggs were perfectly cooked and a healthy helping of feta cheese in the secret sauce. Loved it. A very cute little spot near Yonge/Eglinton. We also lucked out because we had the loveliest waitress - Sarah. She brought our grapefruit mimosas pronto and was beyond helpful with suggestions and very attentive. A charming young lady who made our girl's lunch that much more enjoyable! I highly recommend you visit but you will likely have to wait a bit for a table. It's a happening little spot! read more

First to review!!! They have just had their soft opening. Check out google maps for other reviews. Fantastic breakfast! Service was excellent, very attentive, very pleasant. Decor was nice, as was the ambience (very chilled). Coffee was great and right now for their soft opening it's complementary with a meal. We had the pancakes, which were amazing (see other photos from reviewers). Great presentation, smart idea to have one chocolate, one blueberry and one raspberry (I think). The maple cream and maple syrup topping was so good! We also had the granola, which was a good portion, tasted very fresh and was not too sweet. Coffee was good too! Cannot go wrong. This place will get rammed in the summer as they have a large back patio! Go check them out! read more

Pretty brunch spot in Yonge and Eglinton. I gave this place a shot with my husband and we both liked it. We tried their signature fried chicken waffles and salad with fried chicken. Service was a bit slow though as we dined in right after they reopened.. their back patio was nice and cosy. Highly recommended if you are looking for a brunch spot in the neighborhood. read more

My boyfriend and I got the salmon omelette and french toast, both of which were amazing! The omelette was very tender, thought a little hard to cut due to the asparagus, and the side salad was surprising flavourful. The French toast was super crispy, the cream that came with it was delicious. The backyard patio had great ambience with lots of trees around, you'll hear the subway tracks occasionally too. I knocked a star down because I noticed near the end of the meal that my glass of water had a lot of white cloth fibers floating in it, which really really put me off. Hopefully they change how they clean/dry/store the cups. Also, you get a very small (mimosa) glass of orange juice. read more
