My friends wanted to take me here on a nice sunny Sunday to try out the Lox bagels, and it did not disappoint! We parked in the neighborhood and walked over to their location. You go up to the window and order. I ordered the Classic Sandwich with an Everything Bagel, and replaced the Caper Schmear with Baked Tomato Schmear. I also ordered the Honey Lavender Iced Coffee. The worker at the register was so nice and was the one who suggested alternatives for my sandwich. The coffee came out first, and we waited a couple of minutes for our sandwiches. It's a busy street with many cars driving and many people walking by, so it was a good neighborhood to just enjoy the atmosphere while waiting. The coffee was rich in flavor and refreshing to sip on. The sandwiches were nicely cut in half, and half of it already filled me up. I enjoyed the freshness of the salmon and everything else that made the sandwich delicious. I look forward to coming back again!

Quick grab and go spot. Bagels are big and very filling. Ingredients taste fresh and high quality. NY bagel craving satisfied!

Decent bagel! No seating but good takeout / fast breakfast food option (careful for sometimes busy lines on weekends)! Vegan cream cheese options available

Yummy!!! First time here. We stopped by after a run at Golden Gate Park. I recommend the lox bagel ! It gets busy. We ordered ahead and were in and out quick.

Wow! My friend and I door-dashed from here on a whim and we were more than pleasantly happy! We both got the egg and cheese sandwiches for brekkie. I loooved how cheesy it was and it was a perfect balance of egg, cheese, bagel ratio! Will be ordering from here in the future!

I love schlok's! I love that that they have a vegan option, however they recently changed it and it is different (now Smokey). It's still good but not the same. Please change it back to the previous order :)

We miss the NY bagels but who would have thought we have a NY style bagel shop in the heart of SF!? There is no fine in, you order at the window and there is a wait to get your order ready. In fact there is a line to even order your bagels. Loved the bagel and lox as well as their breakfast sandwich. All 4 in our party really enjoyed their selection but the winner was the hot pastrami/bagel sandwich.

tried coming here before in person... line out the door and sold out online. Doordashed this order so it was a little cold when we got it. im not from ny so i dont have ny standards, but i loved these bagels. so satisfying in the morning. the flavors went so well together my pupils probably dilated. - egg and cheese, everything bagel, add ham and tomato ($16) - herb lemon lox, everything bagel ($17.5) egg and cheese: our bogeda sandwich was packed with ham ($3 add on) and had a great balance with the cheese and soft bagel. herb lemon lox: i yelped omg this is so good when the lemon aioli mixed with the salmon. i'm not a big cilantro fan, but i think it was more parsley, but ended up taking some greens out to focus on the lemon and salmon. would definitely come back. recommend ordering online beforehand or coming early because there will probably be a crowd.
