Lox Stock & Barrel

Lovely spot off the beaten path in Bondi. This is one of those rare gems that's open from early for ☕ until late 🍹. Visited for breakfast and had a delish porridge and scrambled eggs with bagel. 🥯 Bagels are made in-house, daily. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice courtyard, too. ⬇️ Typically, deliciously fresh bagels aren't served toasted, so I have to admit that was a little mystifying. Also, no kids' menu, so it was a splurge for a full-sized meal. (See more detail under 'kids menu', below.) ✔️ Update: Visited June 2024 and there's now a kiddie scrambled egg with bagel! Updated the stars accordingly 🙂 ⬆️ The pastrami is home-made and looks amazing. Didn't have it as this was a breakfast visit. ✔️ Update: Had the corned beef ruben and it was fantastic!

Excellent service and food and the atmosphere was buzzing 👌. Deserves a 5 star 🌟 but my glass of wine 🍷 seemed a bit less than normal for $13...

Worst Gluten Free Bread I’ve had in my 20 years as a coeliac. Slice of bread/toast was the size of a credit card and the crust could break someone’s teeth. Rest of the food was incredibly average. The floor staff were unable to smile, didn’t acknowledge us when we were waiting for a table (it wasn’t very busy) and also forgot an add on that my partner requested. The only positive part of the experience was the nice chap behind the till.

One of my favorite places in Bondi. Everything is great: food and service. Only minor detail is that music is really loud here so not the best place to have a conversation with a friend. But if you sit outside the problem will be resolved. Staff is great 👍🏼

I’d like to leave a review saying that the bagel I had here was the best I’ve ever tasted. The staff were super friendly, and the food and coffee were all perfectly balanced. If I’m in Bondi again, I’d definitely want to visit this café once more.
