Lox of Bagels

I never actually went to the actual Lox of Bagels store, but my friend picked up a few bagel pastries for us to share.
I’ve seen many photos of the bagels and bagel sandwiches; I can’t wait to try one of the sandwiches when I actually do visit the store.
But, for the time being, my friend and I really enjoyed the bagel puffs she bought. Here’s what we tried:
«Peanut Butter/​Cream Cheese Combo»: I got the peanut butter bagel puff, which had a sweet cream cheese filling. It was love at first bite. The pastry was moist, tender and tasted fresh. These are great treats for snacks on-​the-​go, and the cream cheese wasn’t too sweet. I liked the peanut butter taste and the consistency of the bagel. This little pastry didn’t make me feel guilty about indulging in carbs since it was so small.
«Chocolate/​Cream Cheese Combo»: My friend got this chocolate version for herself, and we split the two puffs in half to share them. I really liked this chocolate version as well. I think the chocolate version was a little sweeter than the peanut butter flavor, but it contained the same cream cheese filling. Great for anyone with a sweet tooth, but it wasn’t overly sweet.
«Taro Bagel»: My friend loves taro flavors, so it was no surprise that she got a taro bagel for herself for breakfast. Lox of Bagels boasts a great assortment of flavors to choose from. My friend said this purple-​hued bagel was soft and moist and featured the lighter flavor of taro.
«Pepperoni Cheese Pizza Bagel»: This is one of the more unique offerings at Lox of Bagels. I love this take on the traditional pepperoni pizza and I look forward to trying it one day.
«Bagel with Bacon, Eggs, Cheese and Butter»: If I’m ever in this area for breakfast, I would definitely get one of the breakfast bagels. However, these bagels are featured any time of the day. Because I love bacon, eggs and cheese, this is the one I would want to try first.

Wow, it’s amazing to receive their above and beyond service! Their bagels are rated top, and people gave such high reviews, but I didn’t expect them to help me out on a special order.
These guys are a real deal!!!

Seriously delicious bagel sandwich! Had the lox and cream cheese on a toasted garlic bagel with the works. Generous thin slices of lox with all the goodies — thin onion, tomato, lettuce and capers! Cream cheese tasted homemade. Perfect bite on the bagel. Really excited to find a great bagel — in Honolulu!

By far my fave place for bagels! They have a vast variety of flavored bagels and spreads. They also have amazing bagel sandwich choices. Can’t go wrong with any one. All are delicious! And the staff are so sweet. Can’t say enough great things about lox of bagels.

I had the bacon, egg, cheese, butter breakfast sandwich on a garlic bagel and let me tell you, I’m craving it again right now! Being that I wanted the bagel toasted, it didn’t take that long from the time I ordered it to the time I got to eat it. The toasted bagel gave the sandwich a crunch especially with all the garlic pieces on the bagel and it had a lot of garlic, so if you like garlic, the garlic bagel is a winner. And if you’re looking for something sweet, the chocolate and cream cheese in the strawberry guava bagel ball was good too. I would go back.

I enjoyed the bagel sandwiches here w/​the variety of bagels that you get to choose from, along w/​their Thai coffee (double espresso). Quick service & great prices! I’ll be coming here more often.

Love the chicken salad sandwich with taro bagel or strawberry guava guava. Love the BLT with the everything bagel. And love a toasted spinach bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagels are soft and easy to bite into. I’m addicted.
Staff are always pleasant

I recently discovered this place and let me tell you, I’m in love. They have a variety of different bagels such as taro, spinach, even chocolate chip! I kept mine simple and ordered a BLT on an everything bagel. Once I took my first bite, I couldn’t stop eating! I loved my bagel sandwich so much I came back the next day to have another!
Quick and friendly service too!

We came here a few days ago. It wasn’t too busy so there wasn’t a long wait. I love bagel sandwiches or just plain bagel with cream cheese so this place was a must try after seeing a friend of mine post a pic on their Instagram. We ordered two bagels: ham, egg, cheese, and bacon on a taro bagel and an onion bagel. When we received our orders, my eyes lit up! It looked so yummy that I couldn’t wait to dive right in. Well, after I take a pic of it first of course! My BF and I both took a bite and gave each other this look like «omg it hit the spot!». The bagel was lightly toasted just the way we liked it, still hot, and cheese melting all over. There’s a whole selection of bagels to choose from, different types of cream cheese to buy, bagel chips, and more. I will definitely be coming back! Minus one star because when my BF ordered a coffee, the lady who took our order looked like she was making coffee but turned around and handed him an empty cup without telling him he was supposed to fill it up himself. When he figured that out, there was no coffee or creamer left so he had to tell them so they could refill it which took awhile. I didn’t like dealing with my grouch who didn’t have his coffee yet lol.

Friendly service and great quality food. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and are priced right. The guava spread that they have is to die for! I also love their taro bagels. There is a wide and diverse menu that anyone would love. This is my go to place for breakfast before school.

As unhealthy as it is, I freaking love cream cheese. I also love raw fish. So the moment I saw the description for the Manhattan Delight, I knew I was in love.
The location was clean and the menu of bagels was pretty impressive. A bit pricey for just a bagel but the quality made up for that. I only wish they stayed open later!

This place is bomb!
First of all I love carbs! But not just any kind, it has to be worth it. Like you take a bite out of it and all of a sudden your guilt flys out the window! It’s so good that in your mind it’s fat free, gluten free, non gmo, free range and organic haha.
I ordered the spinach bagel chicken salad. I can’t stop thinking about it. I can’t wait to go back.
Sometimes you can’t say the right words to describe how much you loved it. All you can do is say to your friends… «You just gotta go try it for yourself»
So since you’re my friend. I’m telling you to go try it!
Maybe I’ll see you there.

Best bagels you will find on the island! Soft, slightly chewy, and excellent flavor. As a a bagel snob from NY/​NJ, believe me when I say these are good bagels. I know good bagels!
They also have bagel pastries/​puffs that look amazing and rotate through depending on the season/​holidays! Haven’t had them yet but you can guarantee that I’ll be back to try them.
Larry and Terumi are awesome. Check out their other shop too, Café Grace!

I love these bagels! First time to the new location. Bf accidentally went to the old one first & thabksgully called me before I met him there. Easy to find the new location than the old one I think. It’s in the little shopping center across the canal from the Dillingham DMV. Based on reviews & pictures of the chicken salad sandwich on everything bagel we tried it today & it’s really good! Interestingly it has grapes in it which gives it a nice sweet kick to it which makes a usually boring sandwich interesting. Love that it has sprouts in it too. I think the bf liked it more than me though. Also got our usual pepperoni on plain bagel & strawberry cream cheese on strawberry bagel. Classic favorites that’s always good anytime! Now that we know where the new location is we’ll probably come here more often since its in a more convenient location.

I’ve been having a huge craving for bagels, so I decided to try this place out. I got a cream cheese and lox on an everything bagel, and a ham egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I’m from the east coast and love my bagels, but since this is Hawaii, I’ll review it without comparing it to the east coast
LOX AND CREAM CHEESE: good, and it was only $ 8.50 I believe. The salmon portions are decent, and goes great with the amount of cream cheese they put and a toasted bagel
HAM EGG AND CHEESE ON A BAGEL: based off of the lox bagel alone, I would give this place 4 stars, but this bagel did not taste like a good breakfast sandwich. The ham pieces were very thin and barely noticeable because the sandwich was overpowered by the egg… And the egg tasted like the microwaveable kind with no taste. Yuck. I wish they had real eggs fried and put on the sandwich.
Overall though, the bagels here are good, and service was friendly.

LOVE THIS PLACE! The sandwiches are all yummy, everything tastes fresh. And I love how it isn’t supper packed like everywhere else.
I recommend the chicken salad on taro bagel, so good and surprisingly filling.
Note** the only reason I don’t give this place 5 stars is because the first time I was there the girl at the counter was extremely rude. Now granted that this isn’t a sit down restaurant and I’m not being over critical but as someone who works in the food industry. it was disheartening.

One of our favorite bagel/​breakfast places, especially for the Lox Bagel with everything! So good!
Get there early for their Taro bagels because they run out quick, depending on the day.
Also tried their Vietnamese iced coffee & it was pretty good too!

I never thought I would daydream about bagels till I tried Lox of Bagels on Dillingham Blvd.
B.L.B. (Before Lox of Bagels) I used to eat blueberry bagels with cold plain cream cheese from Starbucks or Costco when I was pressed for time or just need something, anything to fill my stomach till my next meal. You could say I didn’t think much of the bagel.
A.L.B. (After Lox of Bagels) I have truly had an amazing bagel experience. I can now appreciate a bagel, specifically their bagels.
Lox of Bagels bakes their bagels daily, so you know you are getting something good. There’s also an array of bagels, ranging from taro, strawberry guava, garlic and spinach. Today, I tried the cinnamon sugar, not to be confused with cinnamon raisin, that was out of this world. It was like I was eating churro without the guilt or the fried goodness, but a complex bagel platform coated with cinnamon sugar. It was yummy.
This has been my second time in the new store, but my co-​worker used to bring these magical bagel puff creations to work and I’d fawn over them like no tomorrow. That’s what made me come to the store in the first place.
The «magical» bagel puffs are stuffed with delicious selections of peanut butter with cream cheese (my favorite), chocolate with cream cheese or cinnamon raisin. There’s also danishes and an puff (red bean).
Lox of Bagels has a great selection of bagels, along with bagel sandwich creations, and various types of cream cheese (are they homemade too?).

Lox of Bagels has got your bagel needs covered. Sure you can just enjoy a fresh sweet or savory bagel in one of over 20 flavors, but why stop there when you can add a flavored cream cheese? I tend to like their savory cream cheeses better than the sweet, the fruity sweets have that imitation flavor. But don’t stop at a bagel and cream cheese when you can have a toasted bagel with pesto, tomato, and cream cheese. This combo is so good, it’s a hearty breakfast or meatless lunch. If you’re looking for a sandwich, the chicken salad with its grapes and nuts is the way to go. They load up the chicken salad and add fresh sprouts, lettuce and tomato, it’s fresh and filling.
Pre-​order bagels for the office or other events, the texture is so much better when the bagel is fresh. Another perfect option for groups are the bagel puffs, a favored round bagel on the outside stuffed with cream cheese, peanut butter, chocolate, or seasonal flavor. Bagel puffs are hand held, perfect treats on their own that don’t need any condiments, and they sell out by lunch so make sure you go early to get yours.

Great restaurant to get your bagel fix. Hahaha, I joked, it is the only restaurant to do so.
Being stationed in the land of great bagels, New Jersey, I really missed them. Thank you Lox of Bagels for bringing bagels to my new home. You make my life more complete, LOL.
The bagels are great, the customer service is excellent. The restaurant is simply decorated, but I think it could use more flair.
Keep the great job up in supplying Hawaii with Bagels. Thank you.

–chicken salad on an everything bagel, toasted ($ 6.75) — Soo good!!! I don’t really eat chicken salad sandwiches but I really liked it. I liked that there were sliced grapes and I believe chopped walnuts in it.
–chocolate and cream cheese bagel puff ($ 1.40) and peanut butter and cream cheese bagel puff ($ 1.40) — It’s a ball made of bagel with chocolate or peanut butter and cream cheese in the middle. Not bad, but I in general prefer my bagels toasted because I like it a bit crunchy and not so chewy and these are not toasted. The next time, I’m going to throw them in the broiler oven for a bit. I prefer the pb to the chocolate.
–bag of day old bagels (6 pack) (50% off of $ 7.25=$ 3.63)

This place was fine. I wasn’t blown away, and you shouldn’t be mislead by the «New York style» claim they have, it’s false advertisement, but still, I didn’t hate it. I enjoyed my cucumber, dill and garlic cream cheese spread on a plane bagel and my son had the same, minus the spread. That with 2 waters cost $ 9. So, that seems a tad steep for two boring bagels, but that’s just me.
I won’t be back on my own, but I wouldn’t tell someone not to come here.

This newer location that Lox of Bagels has on Dillingham Boulevard is definitely a step up from their former Sand Island Access Road location. Their parking lot, though filled with potholes, offers many more stalls than the old one did and they have multiple tables available including a counter that faces the window. Lox of Bagels is a casual dining restaurant that is clean, spacious and offers a plethora of bagels and other items.
Lox of Bagels makes their bagels fresh daily and they have a wide variety ranging from my personal favorite-​strawberry guava to poppy seed, plain and everything in between. Not only do they have bagels, but they have bagel sandwiches, bagel puffs and bagel chips as well. What about cream cheese? Yes, they have lots of that too in different sizes and flavors. My favorite cream cheese spreads are the strawberry, spinach herb and the jalapeño cheddar spreads.
Very rarely do I go there for just bagels and cream cheese. My usual order is their Chicken Salad Bagel sandwich with the works (lettuce, tomato, sprouts, onions, mayo and mustard). Their chicken salad is probably one of the best chicken salads that I’ve had-it’s loaded with sliced grapes, nuts (walnuts, I think), and there must be a secret ingredient that I can’t figure out because it’s no ordinary chicken salad. Their Manhattan Delight is also amazing. It comes with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, lettuce, sprouts and onions.
Two of their other signature items are the pre-​packaged bagel chips and bagel puffs. The bagel chips are extra crispy and full of flavor and they usually are well-​stocked with these chips. The puffs on the other hand, are gone by the end of the day so it’s best to get there early. They’re basically little bagel balls stuffed with cream cheese goodness like peanut butter with cream, chocolate with cream cheese and cinnamon raisin and are best fresh or warmed up.
As if that wasn’t enough, Lox of Bagels has fresh cookies, energy bars, fresh fruit cups, pasta salad, chips and a good selection of both fountain and bottled drinks. I love their cute drawings of bagels on the wall which were once used to decorate their Sand Island location. Customer service is usually pretty good and prices are fair.

I came here at 1pm for lunch with the bf. It was our first time here and after seeing pics of their food online, we took the drive to kalihi to try it out.
I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on a spinach bagel (6.50). It didn’t come with cheese so I had to pay and extra 79 cents. The bagel is toasted and there was a generous amount of fillings in the sandwich. It was very delicious. The bf got the BLT bagel (4.50) and he said it was good. The sandwiches come with lettuce, onion, tomato, sprouts, mayo and mustard.
They were totally out of the filled bagel puffs and I was disappointed. They should make more of these.
The store was pretty clean. 80s music that I haven’t heard for years was rocking the shop. They had music from the gogos, journey and reo speedwagon on blast.
Plenty free parking outside
You have to spend $ 5 or more to use your credit card.
I also got the mocha Thai hot coffee and it was delicious.

I was in the area and decided that I needed a bagel. It was morning time and now living in Hawaii, I miss breakfast burritos and bagels…
So for me bagels can taste so different depending on how they are made and where they are made. Everyone seems to have their favorite… east coast, west coast, etc.
I don’t know if I have every found my perfect bagel, but that’s a good thing because my ‘best bagel quest’ is still ongoing.
It was not crowded on this weekday morning, but there was a constant stream of people picking up their breakfast and their ‘office orders’. The two girls behind the counter were very nice and patiently took our order.
I had:
Sesame bagel with lox spread
The weird part is the actual bagel… it tasted and had the consistency of bread… not a bagel. It didn’t have the chew that comes from boiling first… strange. The lox spread was just ok… not very lox-​ish.
Everything bagel with bacon egg cheddar
The everything bagel had more flavor than the sesame bagel, but still bread-​like. The insides were good though… the bacon, egg, and cheddar tasted good.
The wife had:
Cinnamon bagel w nutella
I had a chance to try this and it was ok… wife wasn’t impressed.
Sesame bagel with chicken salad.
I didn’t try this but the wife said it needed more seasoning.
I don’t know if I will be back… there’s other good bagel places here… right?!?

Great little bagel shop!!! Great flavors yo choose from. We even explored the bagel puffs! Another Unilocal review mentioned them, so I wanted to try it!
Bagel sandwiches are great and the chocolate bagel puff was awesome!
I did Google directions, and it took us to their Sandy access rd location… which wasn’t as impressive since it is closing.
The new place has lots of parking and is sparkling clean!
