WELCOME TO PADDINGTON

Our fourth store, and our biggest yet. Paddington is where the bakery lives - a full production kitchen out the back, baking Polish bagels fresh every morning for every Lox in a Box in Sydney. It's also where we pour coffee, serve breakfast and lunch, and put on a bit more of a show. Same family, same recipes, more room to spread out.

SIGNATURE ITEMS

The Classic Lox

Our namesake, and the bagel that started the whole thing. House-cured salmon, cream cheese, the works - on a hand-braided Polish bagel that's boiled before it's baked, the way it's been done for generations.

Peri Peri Chicken

A favourite since day one. Grilled chicken, our peri peri sauce, and enough flavour to ruin every other chicken bagel for you. Sorry in advance.

Banana Pudding

Layered, made in-house, dangerously good. Worth saving room for - and worth coming back the next day for another one.

WHAT TO KNOW

Dine In

All-day dining from 7am, weekdays till 3pm and weekends till 4pm. Indoor seating, an open kitchen, and the bakery quietly working away in the back. The most complete Lox in a Box experience under one roof.

Takeaway

Order ahead online or grab from the counter. Bagels, coffee, deli provisions, cookies for the road - whatever the day needs.

Delivery

Pressed for time? No dramas. Order direct from our website and we'll bring it to you across Paddington, Woollahra, Surry Hills and the CBD-side suburbs.

WE DO Catering

Feeding the office, the family, or somewhere in between? We do bagel platters, breakfast spreads, deli boxes for offices, events and gatherings across Sydney. Just 24 hours notice on most orders.

Your Questions, Answered

  • We don't take bookings - it's walk-up, the way all our stores run. There's seating inside and room at the counter, so you'll find a spot. For groups or events, message us on Instagram or call the store first.

  • Oxford Street has metered street parking and the surrounding streets get easier the further off the strip you walk. Buses run frequently along Oxford if you're coming from the CBD or eastern suburbs.

  • This is the biggest and most complete version of Lox in a Box - the full menu, the full deli range, and the production kitchen on-site. Same family, same recipes, just more of it.

  • We do. Gluten-free bun across the bagel menu - just ask in store or flag it when you order online.

  • Yes - Paddington is home to our production kitchen and bakery. Every Polish bagel sold at any Lox in a Box store is baked here, fresh every morning, hand-braided and boiled the traditional way. The bakery is part of why this store exists.
