Just don’t forget about us while we are closed during repairs!

These are just snippets of folks sending lovely messages about the food we create. If it wasn’t for these little moments of encouragement, I’m not sure I’d be able to keep going with it. The past four months have been so hard- closing for various reasons is a nightmare I wish on no business. Fingers crossed we will be open sooner than later! See ya when I see ya!

It’s a real family affair here at Lox + Schmear! Sunny and her daughter Yujin are working the shop today! This is their first time working alone, but that’s great since they know each other well 😂. Go see them! They will be happy to feed you.

Sorry y’all! We will not be open this weekend because we lost all of our food this week and would not be able to restock in time! My deepest apologies, it is certainly not what was planned for the week. Hope to see you all soon.

Guys, today is Noah’s last day! They have been such an amazing part of the Lox + Schmear team and will be greatly missed. Although I am so sad to see them go, I wish them the best in all their future endeavours. Go give them a great farewell today!

The only team you should be cheering for is team Lox + Schmear! Don’t ask me about sports, I know nothing, I just like the gear. Our 9 year anniversary jersey will be for sale at the restaurant starting this weekend. LIMITED quantities (I only made 24 cause they were $$). %100 polyester- perrrrrfect for this heat wave. Come rep the best restaurant in town (best according to me of course).
