The bagels are made fresh every day at Lox, Stock & Bagels, and in 23 different varieties, including the wildly popular cheddar cheese. There's even a bagel that -- toasted and served with butter and syrup on top -- tastes just like French toast, says owner Nancy Bryant. To complement the wide variety of more conventional bagels, you have your choice of 11 different kinds of cream cheese. And there are special bagels at special times - green bagels in honor of St. Patrick's day, and in the fall, for example, pumpkin bagels. Lox, Stock & Bagels also has a big office-catering business. There are many kinds of gourmet coffees available, in addition to Tropicana orange juice, chocolate and strawberry milk, Snapple and diet and regular soda.
