At Lox Stock and Barrel, several varieties of chewy and pleasantly dense bagels are boiled onsite every day. They’re not too sweet and if it’s a truly Jewish-style meal you’re hankering for, try the cafe’s chopped liver, egg and onion on a sweet onion bagel with a side of pickles, or the house-made brisket pastrami on rye, brought in from Bondi’s Organic Bakery, just down the road.

If it's something lighter you're after, salads are textural, fresh and herby. Sustainable fish is used with tasty, cured sardines on grilled toast, or slices of albacore tuna in a panini with jalapenos and miso-dressed slaw. Match it with a Bloody Mary mixed with pickled jalapenos and house-made tomato juice.

Gypsy coffee is extracted by hand through a truly old-school, lever-powered manual piston coffee machine.
