Loxsmith Bagels

Bizarre experience. There is a posted menu with multiple bagel breakfast sandwhich selections, none of which are served at this location. They were out of most of there bagel flavors before 10am. It took 25 minutes to make 1 sandwich. Weird place

Love this shop. A go to every-time I'm in Seattle. I love the bagels and the fish options are next level.

i've heard a lot of people rave about this place, both in its current location at the commissary kitchen on delridge and the former harried and hungry spot in georgetown so i finally decided to place an order.i don't usually eat meat but every once in a while i have a hankering for bacon. i asked that the bacon be extra crispy and in no one's world would i say that what was on my sandwich was anything close.there were two other things i'm going to be critical of:i chose an onion bagel and it didn't have any onion aroma or standout onion flavor to speak of. if i closed my eyes, i wouldn't have known i was eating an onion bagel at all which to me borders on problematic. i have no idea if this is indicative of all the bagel flavors they offer but onion bagels should clearly smell and taste: ONION-Y!the cheese oozed out of what would essentially have been hot egg and bacon slices placed atop before closing the sandwich and then when i picked it up and went to eat it, easily more than half of it was glued to the paper wrapped around the sandwich so note to self: why bother ordering anything with cheese if you're not going to get the bulk of it on the sandwich you've ordered?all told, it was $19, including a $2 tip for not nearly as much flavor as i would have hoped for.i appreciate all the effort and want to support new, local businesses (i support two others at this same location with great enthusiasm and frequency!) but this was sadly an underwhelming experience which i probably won't give another go. live and learn.

It's hard to determine what I miss most about living in NYC, but bagels definitely make the top 5. This place is a pop up inside another restaurant, so occasionally the restaurant is closed while this pop up is open. It's a bit confusing but don't be deterred by the "closed" sign outside! If Loxsmith is open, just open the door and walk in. We got the loxsmith bagel for $17. The bagel was a bit small for the price, but I did love that they used the "top" (seed-dense) side for each side of the sandwich (very important!) and slathered the heck out of my bagel with cream cheese. Maybe even too much cream cheese (didn't think that was possible). Anyhow, I'm just looking for things to nitpick because this is the closest-to-NYC lox bagel I've had in Seattle! We will definitely be back.

Appears to be a failed business. Took our order and our money a day and a half in advance online, doors closed, and unable to fulfill order during posted business hours. Will have to dispute Credit card charge since they aren't open anymore.There were several others trying to figure out where their order was and gave up just in the 5 minutes we were there

Is this place expensive? Yes. Does it have good bagels? Yes. Are the bagel dressing options particularly exciting? No. The lox is salty and bitter (i.e., briny). The menu is difficult to follow and the venue is infested with flies. Other than that, the service is wonderful! Gonna give this place some time to find its grounding before I return, though.

Loxsmith has one of the best bagels in Seattle, however, stick to the bagels!I usually just pick up a half dozen of assorted bagels for home, but I decided to try a pork roll, egg and cheese for breakfast on a weekend morning. If you grew up in the NJ/Philly/NYC area, you may have fond memories of this breakfast combo (some folks call it Taylor ham, I am not one of them). It feels like a special treat to see it on a PNW menu, so I ordered it. Beware, this pork roll is NOT correct. I honestly don't know what they did to it. Fried and then microwaved? Not fresh? It smelled weird and tasted worse, which is sad because their portion was generous (trying to get rid of it?). I pulled it off my sandwich immediately due to taste, and frankly, worry. Loxsmith, if you are reading this, consider removing this sandwich if you can't cook it properly. This was not a cheap sandwich at $16.They have a cute little shop on Beacon Hill now, but I still go for the convenience of their commissary kitchen in West Seattle. I order online and pick up for convenience.

The good: As a former New Yorker/born & raised Jersey girl, these bagels are *really good.* Among 3 or so vendors in town that pass muster for me. I love the flavors - sesame nori and zaatar are favorites. Cream cheese is tasty too. The addition of pork roll to the breakfast sammies? Heck yeah!The bad:Pricey - like painfully so. I get it that things everywhere cost more these days and people need to paid a living wage, but sheesh - $14 for BEC?Inconsistency - this is a big one. We've been ordering from the Delridge location from the beginning, and our orders used to always be correct, ready on time, etc. Then they shut down for a bit there to focus on getting the Beacon Hill location off the ground (cool). But sadly things have not been the same at Delridge since they re-opened. Pre-ordering is now totally pointless - what is listed as available on the online ordering portal is rarely accurate. What is the point of letting people pre-order if not being able to guarantee that people will get the things they want? Even if pre-ordering on the same day you want to get your food, the online ordering portal is wildly inaccurate - there are usually more things noted as "in stock" than are actually available. And if you pre-order and what you want isn't available? You just get whatever the person making up your gives you, and rarely receive an acknowledgement of what happened when you pick up your order. The really bad part is that you also don't automatically get a refund if the thing that gets substituted costs less than what you ordered - you have to be paying attention and you have to follow up and ask. That's just unethical, especially given the already high prices.Bagel sandwich quality is also inconsistent. I recently ordered a pork roll, egg and cheese sammy and the pork roll was so overcooked it was hard and crumbly and tasted like cardboard - a waste of $14. Previous times it was fine. I don't mind paying more for things at all, but if I'm spending the money, I expect to get what I paid for and I expect that it will be prepared appropriately (not burned, fresh ingredients, etc). And I expect that there will be a mechanism in place for rectifying any issues that come up - and there is none. It's really sad as I do love these bagels and try to support local businesses (the Delridge location is literally down the street from me). But I hate feeling like every order is going to be a dice roll :(

Great bagels and lox fantastic babka we get them often but really impressed with a really large order we made for a special event that we had them cater and they did a great job!

FOOD: Taking the obscene price aside, I'm offended by their lox-smith bagel. I got the lox bagel and there was 1... ONE slice of lox on the bagel. I feel like I got the LaCroix of lox. Lox essence if you will on a bagel. The fact that it was 17$ just makes it worse. On top of that, they placed a single sprig of dill and Tomato and onion on top of the SINGLE slice of lox so it was just falling off and a complete mess. CUSTOMER SERVICE: we got a "hi"AMBIANCE: In terms of ambiance, this place was kind of hard to find so just look for it on the side of the building they do have a sign. It's within an apartment complex. Also the music was BLASTING and with a TV playing at the same time it created what can only be described as an affront to the auditory senses. Now for the pros... the tomato was good and the cream cheese was fineNOTE: we went to the beacon hill location. Also, I have never written a review, good or bad, in my life so please understand just how upsetting this bagel experience was. I'd be less upset by getting kicked in the shins by little children tbh.
