Lox of Bagels

Been going to his place for 32 years. Now that I’m living half hour from this place, I’m still driving to get their bagels and such.
The staff at Crossroads location has been there for well over a decade too. That says a lot about how a company treats their employees.
I’ll keep going to this place as long as they are open!

Well let’s start off by saying they sure do not give good customer service I purchased a voucher from groupon for 2 dozen bagels 4 cream cheese and went in on Sunday morning at 8:00 am first off the bins were all pretty empty 1 – 3 bagels a flavor but I purchased my 2 dozen took to a meeting and like 5 – 6 people asked if I purchased day old bagels they were dry and stale and hard so I tried calling there shop 25 times on Sunday and no answer I went back on Tuesday am with a dozen bagels in zip locked bags tales to older woman explained what happen as reviewed rude respond like there not day old why wait to bring back and finally her words these Damm groupon people purchase cause it’s cheaper and have nerve to complain really I was like well don’t sign up with groupon of this is how you feel but I have been going here last 5 years without groupon so my complaint is bagels were stale the younger employee said to bad were not replacing them and she started talking to manager in Spanish waving hands etc I explained agian I tried calling you 17 times I showed her my phone log etc and she’s like just leave and were not doing groupon anymore end result older lady saw my phone log of calls and said ok we will give you a dozen fresh bagels now but never agian the younger girl started yelling no don’t give her anything etc so groupon free or otherwise I would never ever get anything there agian and if they don’t like groupon they shouldn’t sign up for it go to Einstein or western bagels better bagels and friendly workers

Terrible tasting breakfast bagel sandwich. Got the ham egg and cheese. tasted really weird. Best way to describe the taste is chemical like. Also it smells funny in there like they mopped with a dirty mop and the counters are dirty.

yes these girls that are behind the counter are extremly rude and skimp on your sandwich even if you ask for extra, you find no real bacon bits pieces and if a slice it’s half of one. no cheese or bits of it. where is the owner? read your reviews! your staff is pathetic, the food is skimped on and i will never go here again. i don’t owe your staff they owe me, insolent insolent insolent is the two girl staff, this is waaay below a 0 star

The most rude ass employees, with rolling eyes at customers. So called «manager» very unprofessional. Where’s the customer service. Zero star rating.

Bagels are more like the bready, store-​bought, bakery section at Von’s bagels, not real bagels. This place was sold years ago by the owners of the original Lox of Bagels which is still located on Hawthorne. I believe the original may have been purchased by the employees that worked there, and it is just as good as ever, but this place is in no way representative of the amazing bagels on Hawthorne blvd, about 5 minutes away. It’s a shame they were able to keep the name. These bagels are not up to par. Go to the one on Hawthorne blvd and you will have the best bagels in town — I’ve been going there for 30 years.

I will give this place a zero star if it’s possible! An older looking Hispanic guy was rude to begin with. When I showed that I was dissatisfied with his service, he then decided to be nice a bit. Too late! Anyway, I’m only writing this review because my kid & husband got sick after having bagels with cream cheese from this place. Both of them had to use bathroom all night… We won’t be going back! I should’ve looked at the Unilocal reviews before going there.

Great small place.

I just walked out of this place, almost upset enough to call the health department. First of all, the girl who took my order asked if me what I wanted, turning slightly from the counter where she was making a sandwich for another customer. I ordered a bagel lox breakfast sandwich. Poor customer service but okay, I’ve been here before. The bagels are good.
Same girl then asked me what I wanted on it without turning around again. Then, a little boy, about 7 or 8 years old, walks out from the back kitchen, coughing. He proceeds to go over to the girl who is making my sandwich and starts coughing more and wouldn’t you know starts coughing and sneezing and he is right at the same height as the counter where my sandwich is being made, as well as the open condiments that are on the counter. I said «Miss, Miss, to get her attention but she did not hear me and continued to slather on cream cheese and talk and listen to this obviously sick child. I turned and walked right out the door. I understand the problems of working parents with sick children but sick children NOR sick adults should be working in food establishment.

Pretty good! Wasn’t expecting to love this place, as many people on here slammed it, but honestly, the service was just fine.
The bagels were good (not east coast good, but good for LA standards). We split a garlic bagel with bacon, egg and cheese and a sesame with lox. Both did not disappoint! Maybe coming in here with low expectations helped, because I don’t understand why people aren’t fans.

Hey – this place currently has 3 stars and I’d say that’s underrated, for sure. I’ve been going here for about 20 years (almost my whole life), and I’m a big fan. It’s not really a fancy or cool place, but it has great bagels and decent service. I always say that if they would just change their lighting (it’s a little dark), and alter some décor, this could easily be a hip 5-​star bagel place, because it has the product to back it up. I see that another reviewer gave only 1 star because the workers need to «cheer up.» That’s such BS. I don’t require cheery workers, just cheery bagels.
The bagels are good! Ok? I love bagels, I love cream cheese. I usually never bother with the sandwiches but when I do they’re fine. The bagels here are fresh, tasty, and there is a wide selection. Good stuff, simple as that. I would like all these 1– and 2-​star reviewers to tell me where exactly they can get better bagels in the South Bay.
Some other very minor complaints that keep this from being a 5-​star review:
1. I do not like that their flavored cream cheese is whipped. Whipped cream cheese is unsubstantial and melty. Put some chives in the regular cream cheese!
2. They have a $ 5.00 minimum for credit card transactions, which can be annoying if you’re only getting one bagel. At least they give you the option of a $ 0.50 fee as opposed to making you spend a whole $ 5.00.

Went in on a Sunday morning for a hangover-​pick-​me-​up. The Lox and Bagel sandwich was delicious. I’m a huge fan of bagels and raw fish, so I’m always up for a combo of the two. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who was looking for a quick breakfast/​lunch grab. The iced coffee is good as well :)

I’ve had a few of their different bagel sandwiches as a result of a Groupon I bought. Their bagels are completely forgettable and honestly, do not taste very fresh. The fillings on the bagels were also pretty skimpy for the lox bagel. The lox itself was not particularity good. For an awesome bagel with delicious home made cream cheese, go across the street to Doughboys Donuts.

This place is annoying… your hours say you are open till 2 pm, I make a special trip over here to get a pre-​Super Bowl bagel ‘n cream cheese and a smoothie and you are closed at 1:45. I suppose you will say you ran out of bagels– OK but, everything? Even smoothie ingredients?! WTH? So I knock on the door but the gal sweeping won’t even look at me much less acknowledge my existence… do you guys care about future customers at all? I mean you are the ones that closed before your advertised time??? Well, good on you that you have JUST enough cutovers that you don’t need any more! There are so many business’ that wish they were in your position! Go Lions! (My Imaginary Super Bowl– not the real one.)

The bagels are at best 3 star the service is a 0. you walk in and the girls in here always seem like they hate being in here I want to say hey cheer up. Be happy and you will get a 3 star maybe

Looked so good upon entering… so many different bagels! But served with so little cream cheese and barely toasted. NYC-​style rude service but without the NYC-​style bagel flavor and texture!

Ok food and not the best /​welcoming service. This restaurant didn’t fully meet my expectations, but it wasn’t terrible. Their cinnamon bagel is fairly good and they have a nice selection of smoothies. The dining room to me is very uninviting and somewhat sterile of an atmosphere.

Was looking for a place to have a quick breakfast near Costco and ended up at Lox of Bagels. Limited amount of bagels, presentation at the store could have been better. Had a egg, cheese and ham breakfast sandwich on a wheat bagel and it was plain and simple but nevertheless satiated my appetite for that morning. Service was quick and kind. It’s no Einstein Bros bagel for sure, it’s just a nice quaint neighborhood bagel joint.

This was a great stop before work! Lox and bagel sandwich was yummy! Great service and lots of options for the bagel flavors.
The best part was the drink selection. I had a frozen cappuccino with boba!!! They had a lot of options on frozen drinks and boba!
highly recommend!

Is $ 2.25 too much for a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese?
I kind of think yes.
Oh well, I forked over the $ 2.25 and I happily ate my (per Craig R.) «gay» bagel.
It was tasty and I’d do it again.
