About Lox In A Box Marrickville

Thick, chewy bagels stacked high with house deli fillings make this retro Marrickville joint the go-to counter for a fast bite. Loyalists lean toward the Classic Lox—balanced with herbed cream cheese and capers—or the hefty Reuben piled with corned beef and pickles. Snag one of the few kerbside tables on Illawarra Road and wash it down with a tart Arnold Palmer or a long black pulled with thick crema.

  • Signature Bagels: Three bagel choices filled with standouts like the herb-schmeared Classic Lox, hefty Reuben, or crispy chicken katsu.
  • Retro Street Vibe: A fast-paced, old-school counter setting with limited, highly coveted kerbside seating on the pavement.
  • Specialty Sips: Wash down your meal with refreshing Arnold Palmers, iced matcha, or a well-extracted long black.
