If you're not a bagel connoisseur, you'll probably be satisfied with this low-key sandwich shop. Next door to the Berkeley YMCA, this spot looked popular among the post-workout crowd, at least on a weekday, and I was willing to try it after spending an hour on the treadmill. Although bagels are their headline item, they also make sandwiches, a soup of a day, breakfast burritos, and even waffles. But I was here to try the bagel, so I ordered the $8.75 The Veggie. An everything bagel was stuffed with cream cheese, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, and sprouts (Photo 6). I just sat at an empty table and ate it pretty quickly. It was fine, nothing I'd go out of my way to find but quite satisfactory in a pinch. Perhaps a cup of hot chicken soup would've helped broaden my palate and lubricate my digestion. FOOD - 3 stars...standard, satisfactory bagel sammie AMBIANCE - 3 stars...clean, generic spot SERVICE - 3.5 stars...attentive enough TOTAL - 3 stars...sometimes all you want is a stuffed bagel RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

$10 for a bacon, egg, and cheese is crazy, mind you the egg is microwaved and there's only 2 pieces of bacon. Oh, and don't asked to add anything there's gonna be an almost $1 charge for lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, all separately charged! read more

I come here every Thursday after my pilates class at the Y next door. Yes, I am a creature of habit :-) And I love their soup of the day, which is chicken and rice on Thursdays. Sometimes I also get a sandwich though. Always yummy. I tend to sit inside and not take my food to go, since I like it hot and fresh. The interior is more of a fast food setting, but really clean and most of the time empty, since people mostly take their food to go. Staff is always friendly and accommodating read more

Wow I use to come here way back in high school. I can not believe it is still here. They prices may have gone up but the lox bagel is still on of my favorite in the whole Bay Area. read more

Love this place. Owners are really nice and friendly, everything is fairly price and the food is always on point. I've been coming here for a good 3 years now and I promise you I do not recall a time where the food wasn't good. I really enjoy their lattes and breakfast food items. read more

I really enjoy the bagels here. I've been here a handful of times now in the mornings and it's been really nice - people trickle in and out and I'm usually able to get my bagel within 5 minutes. The bagels are toasted well and the everything bagels are delicious. The Californian is very good - with sprouts, cream cheese and avocado. There's only a little bit of avocado, however, so don't expect more of a quarter of an avocado in the bagel. The budget bagel is also pretty good but there's only a little bit of lox in it (just cut up pieces) mixed in with the cream cheese. I thought there was too much cream cheese for my liking there but it was still pretty good. I really like the bagels here though and would recommend it. At $5-$6 for a specialty bagel, it's worth the price! read more

Solid bagel option in the neighborhood. Veggie bagel had plenty of vegetables and ate nicely, although I think it could have benefited from a bit more cream cheese. Service is attentive and friendly. I also like their clean calm vibes they are pushing in there. read more

Happened upon this cute little place nestled among the quaint & at times quirky Berkeley UC area. The smallish menu had a few offerings ranging from juices and smoothies to a few coffee varieties, sandwiches and bagels including breakfast-fare options and waffles. There is also a build your own salad smorgasbord available. As I mentioned, the menu isn't the largest around, but I could quickly surmise that each item is made with care & quality. The lady working the register was helpful when I placed my order (which, me being me - always has to somehow customize my order) - but she made no bones about my variation I requested. I opted for The Californian - Sesame bagel with avocado, cream cheese and sprouts, but went for a cheese bagel instead and also added Lox because, well, I love the stuff. She immediately beamed with a smile and said "interesting combo, sounds great!", and furthered in explaining that on the Lox bagel they usually add capers and tomato and asked if I'd like to include that as well. Why not, right? We were served rather quickly and I can say it was made perfectly. They didn't skimp out whatsoever on the cream cheese and all the flavors danced together happily upon my hungry morning taste buds. My friend and I also ordered the iced mocha which I thought was a nice, strong brew with great flavor, however it could've stood a bit more chocolate in my opinion, but then I'm also a chocoholic, so go figure! He also opted for the sausage & egg croissant which he scarfed down on happily. I don't even think there was a crumb left! (He'll punch me for that later lol). Bottom line: Great fast & friendly customer service in a cute & very tidy little venue. I'll be back, for sure! read more

Consistent, friendly, family owned business. Love the bagels and the sandwiches. Close to the high school so many of us frequent it often. Had one smoothy. Good as well. read more

This place was pretty good! I got my food fast and the service was great. The bagel itself was not that interesting but the sandwich as a whole was so much cheaper than breakfast sandwiches anywhere else in this area. read more

Staff can be rude. Things a lowkey overpriced. Cream cheese gets sour. When I do go back it's only for small things that can't be messed up.

For the price I paid it was barely an okay place. There was no more different types of bagels so I just had the option to take a plain one. I decided to take the veggie one and a smoothie. The veggies tastes fresh but the size of the bagel could have been better. The amount of cream cheese was good and my smoothie was good as well, not too thick and not way too watery. I like the salad option they offer which they offer by the ounce. read more

TL:DR Great breakfast burrito, but cleanliness?? I got a breakfast burrito w/ the recommendation from the person in line in front of me. The breakfast burrito was great - quality eggs, potatoes, sausage, and cheese. I especially liked the potatoes, they were shredded rather than cut in chunks, so it had a great texture. The burrito was wrapped tightly, so nothing fell out. It was all great till the end, where I found a piece of hair between the foil and the burrito. I'm very glad that the hair was not in the burrito itself or I would not have seen it. Besides the hair, the burrito and establishment would get a 3/5 based on quality and price of the burrito. read more

High quality items every time. They take pride in simple but awesome. NOTE: do NOT order thru Yelp, they sneak 15% onto the price.

Good owners, good people. I've been coming here on and off for the last 20 years. Moved to Berkeley in 1998, my mother would come here almost daily. Always had good food, friendly service. Keep up the great work! Thank you for everything you do! read more

Their bagels are amazing for a low price. My friend and I split the California and the Budget with the everything bagels which ended up being a really good decision! We'll definitely be coming back in the future. read more

Quiet, cute cafe. Perfect for writing or reading! I found this cafe while I was walking around Downtown Berkeley looking for a good place to charge my phone and write. It was really slow when I walked in around 10 with one other person dining in and occasionally someone coming in to order something to go. There's only one set of outlets that I saw so not the place to work off a laptop unless you have charge. But there is plenty of tables and space, so you can definitely come for lunch with a group! I got a chai latte with almond milk and a veggie bagel - cheese bagel with cream cheese, tomato, cucumber & sprouts. It's exactly what you would expect, good but nothing special. I think that it might be more interesting to come here for lunch because they have a do-it-yourself sandwich and salad bar which I haven't seen anywhere else in Berkeley. read more

I do not know why this place has any bad reviews because it's amazing!! The best homemade breakfast burritos, egg sandwiches, bagels of all types, and fresh iced and regular coffee--LIKE YOUR MOTHER WOULD MAKE IT (REAL ingredients, nothing frozen, delicious, and with love)--and extremely fast... faster than Starbucks pops your frozen items in the toaster oven you could have some real sustenance on your way to work/class! Anyway, it's also a family-owned business and they're great people who truly appreciate your business- another reason to go here instead of one of the sub-par multiple chains in Berk. read more

I come here to grab their smoothies mainly because they're on the way home from BART, and they're dairy free. The mango one is usually the best, and the workers are really friendly. Which is a bit surprising because you think they'd be tired of dealing with the Berkeley High kids. I've had a bagel once or twice, and well, it was a bagel. I noticed today that they had a "California" bagel which is sesame seed bagel with cream cheese, avocado, and sprouts. Sounds delicious and I'll have to try it next time. There is one thing that grosses me out though... They have a build your own sandwich bar with very plain looking lunch meats that you'd buy from the market. That's not what grosses me out. What grosses me out is that the cheese and meats lie a salad bar type set up all day... so with the sun shining in it has a weird sheen on it and just looks warm and nasty. I'm positive I can make a way better sandwich at home. read more

This place is lowkey hidden i feel but it's really good! and the owners are so nice :)

This place is close to my work and I come here when I am in the mood for a good spinach salad. They have a nice variety of items available at their salad bar: Steamed asparagus, chopped hard-boiled eggs, green beans, beets, red bell peppers, seafood salad, pasta salad, garbanzo beans, and more. Once in a while, I also get a cup of one of the two soups that are offered. The owners are friendly too. One suggestion: they should have bigger cups for their water pitchers. The cups are 2 oz. Dixie cups, like the type you would take medication with! read more

Please do not take down my review. Why does my review has to be taken down? I spent time and effort to write a review. I love the jewish chicken soup and clam chowder soup here as well as lox and bagel, too. The soups are very delicious and traditional with fresh ingredients. The bagels are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. they are so good esp if you get them when they first come out and are warm. - From a customer since year 1995. read more

Lox Stock & Bagel--now there is a name I have not heard in ages. I remember there used to be one on every corner it seemed in the Bay Area. I used to see them in San Francisco and the East Bay. A high school friend and colleague used to manage a branch in Emeryville near the Watergate Towers about twenty so years ago. This Lox Stock & Bagel is a rare find, they are practically non-existent here in the millennium. Many of the Berkeley City College instructors would come here to eat and meet away from the office. I rediscovered Lox Stock & Bagel when an instructor I worked for sent me to retrieve a bag she inadvertently forgot, luckily it was still there intact and in place. Lox Stock & Bagel is still here and very much present. After a workout at the Y next door, The Mother was hungry and needed to eat something ASAP. Well, here is Lox Stock & Bagel in a pinch. So we went in. There was the sandwich bar and the salad bar next to it as we came in. I ran the menu by her. The Mother emphatically advised me to get a half sandwich as she was doing. I assisted her in choosing the condiments and ingredients she wanted. We more or less had the choice pickings as it was not noon and the lunch rush still had yet to arrive. So we made our choices and went to the till to pay. The service is pretty cut and dry, the folks working there are not much for conversation. They speak only if they are taking customer orders and in the exchange of paying for their orders. We were asked if we wanted our bread cut in half to make the half sandwich to which we replied in the affirmative. We were able to find a booth to sit at and eat. It was nice and quiet, only a few folks eating nearby. It was around noon-ish when the Berkeley High School and Berkeley City College crowd came in. The staff went into action in making orders and keeping an eye on the young customers who partook from either the sandwich bar and the salad bar. And the quiet atmosphere became lively and animated. The Mother and I took that as our cue to exit Stage Right as it was getting rather lively, too loud for our tastes. Lox Stock & Bagel is all right in a pinch to refuel after a workout ASAP. Depending on the time of day, be prepared to adjust on what is available. read more

I bought 3 slices if salami and the owner weighed the plate with the meat. I asked are you weighing the plate too. His response was that everybody charges for containers even Whole Foods. Lol big mistake I'm a former Whole Foods Prepared foods team leader and no they don't charge and it illegal. I explained that to him and he told me next time bring my own plate. Seriously. California weights and measure * Check that items weighed in front of you either have no wrapping or container, or the scale makes allowance for it. When sold by weight, all items must be sold by NET WEIGHT; the wrap- ping or container should not be included. This also applies to packaged items, which must indi- cate net weight. read more

Great salad bar! Absolutely loved it. I was surprised by how fresh the lentils and artichokes were. The service was great too. Extra kind and helpful! read more

Lox Stock & Bagel - Fresh sandwich bar!!! - Delis Near Me - Berkeley, California

Don't understand all the negativity here. Been coming here a lot this semester because they have more variety than the coffee shop on the other side of the parking garage and they are always friendly and fast. Good iced coffee, excellent breakfast sandwiches and burritos. The smoothies I have tried are good and the fresh juices are a nice offering as well. Additionally, even the fruit salad is better than the other place because the other place uses grapes with seeds in them which I find gross. This place is clean and unusually quiet for its location, which I appreciate. FYI If you don't like high school students you should probably not get your breakfast or lunch from a place that is half a block away from a high school. read more

I waited so long to try this place, but maybe the longish wait was a warning, an omen, some real-life foreshadowing. Look, I have nothing against businesses located next door to Social Security offices. I have very little against businesses which are inexplicably closed for a few months. I don't have much against businesses that advertise their pending reopening by plastering the windows with redundant, desperate-looking landscape Microsoft Word-created signs--probably 24 of them in all. What I do have a problem with is bagel places that don't have hummus. When I tried to get some on my bagel, the woman working the register actually seemed not to know what hummus was. Really? You've got the word "Bagel" in your business name, and not only do you not offer hummus, but you pretend as if you've never been asked for it? But here's what I really hate: disgusting cream cheese. Again, if you're a bagel place, you should do bagels well. Cream cheese should not be the consistency of--wait for it--watery hummus. It should be thicker. And clumpier. And creamier. It's not called runny cheese. The only thing saving this place from one-star hell is that they have a by-the-ounce salad bar. I know these things are scams, but I really used to love the one in the Huddle at Notre Dame, and if you're not going to do all-you-can-eat (and how could you if you're not a huge chain), there's not really a fair way of doing it. So two-star purgatory it is. It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. And they have sandwiches, but I probably won't be trying them. read more

In addition to the salad bar they have a sandwich bar, 2 soups, as well as freshly packaged fruit and sushi. Their vegetarian sushi is some of the best I've had; it's made with fresh veggies and lettuce. The inari is sublime-the rice is mixed with sesame seeds. I ordered a platter of veggie sushi and inari for a party and they gave me a humongous plate for a very reasonable price. They also offer other fishy sushi plates as well. They also make smoothies (dairy and non-dairy). Minuses Salads and sandwiches can easily be costly if you get carried away Can be quite hectic with the flow of 3,000 Berkeley High Students on their lunch break in downtown B They run out of sushi quickly. Open only weekdays till 3:30. Closed on weekends. read more

I asked for an english muffin breakfast sandwich, and informed them I wanted the muffin toasted. When I got my sandwich, I immediately inspected it, and found that the muffin had only been warmed. i immediately told the person behind the counter that I wanted it fully toasted and her response was, and I quote, "I put it in the thing", pointing to the toaster oven. "This is not toasted" I replied. So she made the sandwich again, reheating it's contents in the microwave, and lo and behold, gave me a sandwich with a warm, but not toasted muffin. Now I am not expecting people in a bagel shop to know how to make hollandaise, and I get that eggs are done in a microwave because they can't trust the skill of low paid workers to make an egg over easy, but to not understand what the word toasted means? Really? That is completely unforgivable in my opinion, and I'll never go back. read more

Best Matzoball soup in town! Soft and flavorful. My mom got the clam chowder so I tried that as well; also very rich and tasty :) Each ingredient on the salad bar was very very fresh! The homemade crouton was especially great. The manager was very helpful (weighing plates and recommending soups) as I was wondering around during my first visit. The place is right next to the social security office, so highly recommended for those waiting in line looking for a place to quickly grab food! Had a great experience here! 5 out of 5. read more

I love bagels in all their high carb goodness, but when I order a bagel with cream cheese for $2.55 I don't expect it to be drowning in 4 oz of cream cheese. The quality of the bagel is totally ruined when it is soaked and soggy. I'm willing to give this place another shot because their specialty bagels look delicious and the cashier gladly hurried my order along so I could catch my bus. Next time, I'll make sure to lose the cream cheese. read more
