Fox in the Snow is bringing its pastries and coffee to Upper Arlington this month. The bakery-and-coffee company will open a new café at 1510 W. Lane Ave. on Saturday, July 11, with doors scheduled to open at 8 a.m. The shop will convert the corner storefront that most recently housed a bicycle retailer and will become the company's latest central Ohio outpost. Fans can expect the chain's standard menu of pastries, egg sandwiches and brewed coffee at the new location.
According to The Columbus Dispatch, Fox in the Snow announced the 8 a.m. July 11 start time in a Facebook post. The Dispatch also notes that the opening follows the chain's recent Clintonville debut earlier this spring.
Renovation plans filed with the city show the Lane Avenue space will include seating for roughly 74 customers, and the building was most recently home to Roll Bicycle Co., which closed in 2024, according to 614NOW. Those documents, first reported in January, laid out the intended build-out but did not list a target opening date at that time.
Where It Fits In The Neighborhood
Fox in the Snow first opened in Italian Village in 2014 and has steadily expanded to suburbs and neighborhoods across the metro. The company's Clintonville shop opened May 2 and returned popular doughnuts, drawing a big early crowd, according to Columbus Underground. The chain's official locations page also lists its established shops and service hours on foxinthesnow.com.
Expect Lines And A Giveaway
At recent openings, the café has offered giveaways to early arrivals, a strategy that helped spark long lines when the Clintonville store launched, a dawn pastry rush that Hoodline reported. If the Upper Arlington opening follows that pattern, neighbors should anticipate a busy sidewalk and limited indoor seating early in the day.
Hours, Hiring And What To Know
Fox in the Snow typically keeps weekday hours of 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and weekend hours of 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., per its locations page. A job listing for the Upper Arlington outpost lists the 1510 W. Lane address and projects a July 11 opening, suggesting staff training and preparations are already underway, see the posting on Indeed.
Opening-day details may change as the café finalizes preparations, so readers should watch the company's social channels for any last-minute updates. Further information may be added if the team or the city provides new details.
