The Lox Bagel Shop sits just off the main stretch of High Street in Columbus's Short North Arts District, marked by a small fish logo above the door. The bagels are hand-rolled, boiled, and baked in a style that blends New York and Montreal traditions — larger and more substantial than a typical Montreal bagel, but soft inside like a New York one.
The menu goes beyond a standard schmear-and-bagel combo, and regulars point to the made-in-house quality and creative menu items as reasons they keep coming back — some say it's worth the drive from across the city. Columbus Monthly named it a best-of-city pick in 2025.
