It has only been open since August 2022 but Lox in a Box Coogee has fast become the go-to beachside place for good quality lox and soft bagels.

Lox in a Box Coogee opened in August 2022 along Havelock Avenue, with a classic menu which includes the popular cured salmon bagel with herbed cream-cheese schmear, tomato, and capers.

The newly opened joint was part of the brand’s expansion, which also recently opened a bigger one in Manly. Originally opened at Bondi’s Seven Ways in 2019 and run by Candy Berger and Gaia Lovell, Lox in a Box has become a go-to for lox, a fillet of brined fish, typically salmon and Jewish deli.

Like the store in Bondi, the Coogee store uses sustainably-raised salmon sourced from South Island, Mount Cook in New Zealand. Their fish is never frozen, and are hand-sliced and packed for their customers’ enjoyment.

Whilst it’s smaller than the one in Bondi, the new store manages to include space to accommodate a few diners out front.

Gluten-free bagels are available for diners with special dietary requirements.

More expansion is in the cards, as the owners reveal that they are still on the lookout for another location in Newtown. They are also planning to team up with small independent grocers and wholesalers to have their retail items on shelves in 2023.

More people will soon get to enjoy this popular Bondi store’s well-loved lox and chicken schnitzel bagels, as Lox in a Box gets ready to expand with two new venues at Coogee and Manly.

Come August, a new Lox in a Box store will open in Coogee with the Manly location following soon. Both locations will mirror Bondi’s offerings, although the Manly space will be much bigger which is enough to accommodate dine-in customers.

The bagel menu will include the classics: cured salmon bagel with a schmear of herbed cream cheese, tomato, onions and baby capers; and veggie bagel stacked with beetroot, Jalapeño cream cheese, onion, carrot, tomato, pickles, cheddar cheese and rocket.

There’s also the chicken schnitzel bagel made with cheddar cheese, mayo, peri-peri and lettuce; and the fried NZ hake fish bagel with tartare sauce, American cheese and lettuce. Customers have the option to add extras and sides.

Last February, the pair opened Fed Kitchen on Avoca Street in Randwick for their deli and catering business. The store offers (apart from open-faced bagels) takeaway meals, coffee, salads and pastries with the shop front also serving as a showroom.

Lox in a Box has become Bondi’s favourite spot for everything bagels since owner Cany Berger (Fed Kitchen catering) and partner Gaia Lovell opened their first hole-in-the-wall takeaway shop in 2019.  The lox joint offers three delivery options: Pre-made, Build-Your-Own Bagels and Shabbox on a Friday.

The exact locations of the two new outlets are yet to be revealed but they hinted on their social media post that the location of the Coogee venue “sounds like ‘Have A Lox’ Avenue!” Well, I think you know where that is.
