Shlok's Bagels & Lox opened its second location in the Financial District on August 11, adding to San Francisco's growing bagel scene. This new shop follows the company's successful pickup window established in 2022. The bagels at Shlok's are characterized by their savory and yeasty flavor, with house-cured cold-smoked lox and caper cream cheese as unique offerings. Co-founder James Lok has improved the quality of his bagels by adjusting the mineral content of the water used in boiling, enhancing their overall taste and texture.
"Inherently you do need to start with your medium, which is water. It really is not a myth anymore," said James Lok. He emphasizes the importance of water quality for bagel creation.
Shlok's Bagels & Lox offers savory, yeasty bagels that crisp well when toasted, setting them apart from competitors like Boichik.
The new location at 315 California Street signifies Shlok's expansion in San Francisco's bagel scene, with a grand opening planned on August 11.
James Lok achieved a proper mineral balance for boiling bagels, claiming this improved the bagels' texture and flavor, crucial for quality.
