The Lox Bagel Shop — Restaurant in Columbus

Stopped in after searching for good bagels in Columbus. Chatted with the owner a little on social media and was super excited to stop in.

At arrive I noticed the line was of length which is usually a good sign. I ordered the sea salt and herb bagel with chive cream cheese, generous on the cream cheese. As well as the potatoes as were recommended by the owner.

The bagel itself was delicious. Good crunch to chewy fluff ration good flavor. The bagel itself solid. Personally they were not generous with the cream cheese as requested and honestly even short changed in the amount for a normal bagel. For the cost I’d expect they would give you an amount cream cheese that was fair.

As for the recommended crispy potatoes… well they missed the mark. Light airy fry on them but completely flat on flavor. Zero seasoning and salt. Which with the bagel being well seasoned I was at a shock. I had to go to the counter and request salt to Sprinkle over the potatoes to make them Even semi worth it. If properly seasoned they are probably delicious but what I received 100% missed the mark and after being an owner recommendation...

I ate a pleasant lunch recently [3-16-2023] at The Lox Bagel Shop at 772 N. High St., #106, in the "Short North" neighborhood of Columbus.

The Lox Bagel Shop is not easily visible from N. High St. because that restaurant is actually on the north side of E. Warren St. about 100 feet east of N. High St.

Many of the restaurants in the Short North serve only "dinner" [after 4:00 p.m. or so]; The Lox Bagel Shop serves breakfast and lunch [they are open most days between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.]; they then close for rest of the day.

My food choice while at The Lox Bagel Shop had been "The Lox" ["lox, capers, onion, cucumber, and cream cheese" served on your choice of bagel]; I ordered an egg [at an additional cost of $2.00] to be added to my sandwich.

After I had completed my meal, a server brought to my table a homemade pickle slice that had been quite delicious.

If you are in the Short North and you are looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch, I strongly recommend The...

This unassuming bagel shop turned out to be a delightful surprise during our recent visit for a concert. Initially, we almost turned away due to a minor hiccup with the cashier, but boy, are we glad we stayed!

The moment we sank our teeth into those bagels, all worries melted away. I opted for the Cuban on an everything bagel, and it was an explosion of flavors! The generous portions of pork and bacon were juicy and flavorful, creating a perfect harmony with each bite. Meanwhile, my husband savored his lox bagel with spicy chive cream cheese, and he couldn't stop raving about it.

What struck us most was the quality of the ingredients—they truly elevate the experience. From the freshness of the bagels to the richness of the toppings, every element was spot on. I rarely write reviews, but this place deserves all the praise. I would happily make a detour to Columbus just to enjoy these...
