Why Choose Lox In A Box Coogee?

Lox In A Box is known locally for generous, flavour-packed bagels that keep customers coming back, the katsu, Reuben, and brekkie bagels earn consistent praise for their chewy texture and creative fillings. Staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and the space offers plenty of seating for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

About Lox In A Box Coogee

Bagels are the main event at Lox In A Box, a cafe in Coogee, and locals come back for them. The katsu bagel gets mentioned most, with crisp chicken and a good sauce, along with the Reuben, a brisket option and a brekkie bagel built around beef, mashed potato and a soft egg. The bagels themselves are chewy, and you can choose your base, from sesame to everything. We've also heard good things about the chicken caesar salad, where the croutons are made from bagels, and about the cookies and the cheesecake brownie if you want something sweet. There's a gluten free vegan bagel on offer too, which one local called well worth the wait.

The coffee is Allpress beans pulled on a proper espresso setup, so it's a solid pairing rather than an afterthought. Service comes up often: people say the staff are friendly, helpful and happy to make recommendations, and one regular singled out Marina for knowing the products well and making everyone feel welcome. They run takeaway, delivery and dine-in, and the space is big for Coogee, with plenty of tables inside and seats outside. They also do breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and catering, with vegetarian and vegan options across the menu.

It gets busy, and a couple of locals have mentioned waits of around half an hour on weekends, and one found the cream cheese a little salty. Most still come away happy, and several say they've gone back for the same order again. Coogee beach is close by, so it suits a morning stop on the way there.

They're open every day, so it's handy to check the hours before you head in, and a weekend visit is best planned with a bit of time to spare.

: Beyond the Bagels & More range (Classic Lox, Brekky, Reuben, Peri Peri, Katsu, Buffalo), there's an all-day breakfast section with toast, eggs on toast, a brunch bowl and a brekky burrito, plus sides like latkes, fries, onion rings and frickles.
