Why Choose Lox In a Box Bondi?

North Bondi locals rate Lox In a Box highly for fresh, soft bagels with generous fillings at fair prices.

About Lox In a Box Bondi

If you're after a bagel in North Bondi, Lox In a Box is the sort of place locals steer you towards. It's a cafe at heart, with bagels doing most of the talking, and the fillings are generous and flavourful. The classic lox bagel and the brekky bagel both have their fans, and the reuben and the chicken katsu come up again and again as the ones to try. Someone who'd just come off the beach called it the perfect lunch to take back to the sand, and another local swears by the pastrami.

We hear the bagels come out fresh and soft rather than chewy, with generous fillings that suit the price. Folks who've tried the katsu and halloumi combination say the flavours work well together, and the staff get plenty of kind words for being friendly and welcoming even when the place is busy. Regulars are on first-name terms with the team, which says a lot about the atmosphere. Sam, who looks after catering, is singled out for being easy to deal with, and a cookie at the counter has won over more than one visitor.

The offering is wide. You can dine in, with indoor seating and an outdoor area, or grab takeaway for the beach. Delivery is available, and catering is a real strength: one office in the Sydney CBD was delighted with how smoothly a big order arrived. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dessert are covered, along with coffee, vegetarian and vegan options, and the place is good for kids.

One visitor wasn't won over by the raw salmon (a matter of taste), and the outdoor area gets cleared away in the afternoon, so an early start suits you better than a late lunch. The after-hours menu offers schnitzel burgers and other options at a range of prices. Opening hours run daytime only, so check before you head in, especially if you're planning a late bite.

For a quick, filling lunch near Bondi Beach, this one earns its reputation.

“The Best Bagel Shop in Sydney🥯 I'd say these are the best bagels I've ever had. The meat was so tender, and the salmon was incredibly fresh! The bagels were soft and not chewy at all.”

Value

“One of the best bagel restaurants I've tried, what sets Lox in a Box apart from other places is the variety of food options available for a reasonable price.”
