Longstanding Cincinnati bagel company opens first Columbus location

While Columbus lost a breakfast food legend when Block’s Bagels shuttered, it’s receiving about as good of a replacement as there is.

Marx Bagels, the long-standing Cincinnati brand that’s been operating in The Queen City for more than five decades, has officially opened in the former home of Block’s Bagels, which is located at 6115 McNaughten Centre.

Following the death of owner Harold “Hal” Block earlier this year, Block’s closed for good on March 2 after serving Central Ohio since 1967.

Described as “Cincinnati’s OG bagels,” Marx was created by John Marx in Blue Ash, Ohio in 1969. Similar to Block’s, Marx maintains strict kosher standards, and offers a wide variety of bagels and mini-bagels that can be bought individually or by the dozen, cream cheese, bagel sandwiches and other breakfast items.
