Crema's Take
“Oxbow's fresh, flavorful bagels are the real draw here—order one with their excellent spread selection and settle into the airy, industrial space that locals genuinely love. The coffee is solid and reliable, the staff radiates genuine happiness, and it's an easy spot to linger over breakfast or a laptop without feeling rushed. Fair warning: it's popular and the pastries, while beautiful, occasionally sacrifice flavor for aesthetics.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Delicious bagels and a cozy place to hang. I got a sesame bagels and it would have been better with more sesame seeds. They have lots of options for bagel toppings and lots of other dessert/pastry options. And love a compostable cup.
We love Oxbow! We live nearby and are so happy to have such a high quality bakery and coffee shop in the neighbourhood. We particularly like the veggie sandwich and ham and cheese sandwich, as well as the cheese knot! Coffee drinks are also high quality albeit a little slow. I…
What a beautiful spot with its industrial design and airy, welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is solid, but the real star here is the bagel — fresh, flavorful, and paired with a great selection of spreads. Perfect for breakfast or a casual morning stop. Highly recommended!
