The Mixx is now open in the Power & Light District

The Mixx opened last Friday in the Power & Light District at 1347 Main, a sister restaurant to the popular Plaza eatery that lets customers mix their own salads and sandwiches. 

“My goal was to create an interesting and contemporary space for casual dining,” says owner Jo Marie Scaglia, who is busy shuttling back and forth between her two locations and overseeing the company’s growing catering business.

At the new space, The Mixx has launched a hot breakfast menu and has a host of new lunch and dinner options. “This is not your typical pancake and eggs breakfast. Although you could build that if you wanted it,” says Scaglia.

There’s a breakfast lox sando (toasted bread, lox, red onion and crispy capers with a light cream cheese spread, $5.95), a grilled breakfast flatbread (cheese, egg and tomato basil salsa, $4.95) and three kinds of breakfast fritters ($3.25 to $4.25)

While breakfast is new, the lunch and dinner menus have exploded with new options: there’s now a total of 55 mix-ins.

“I like to think of it as menu enhancements. We’re not going take away the dishes that regulars have loved. We’re just going to mix it up for them and offer even more products,” says Scaglia.
