“Unlike its predecessors in the Midwest, which largely trafficked in convenience-food bagels, the Lox Bagel Shop turns out excellent bagels that blend the styles of New York and Montreal. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of High Street in Columbus’s Short North Arts District, the shop’s charming fish logo welcomes in old and new customers alike for freshly baked, hand-rolled bagels.”

“A great deal many shops on this list almost seem to stumble upon a fusion of the New York and Montreal styles, or if they got there on purpose, they don't really like to talk about it. At the finest bagel shop in Ohio's happening capital city, the bakers are proud of their hybrid creation, and they really ought to be. Essentially, these are larger-sized Montreal bagels, handsome enough on the outside that you might like to gaze upon them for a time, before slicing. Inside, however, they're nice and soft, like a New York bagel, and whatever you do with them—schmear, sandwiches, or even just sink your teeth into a fresh one, with nothing on it—you're winning at breakfast.”
