Address: 725 E 26th Ave, Denver, CO 80205
If you’ve got a hankering for the best breakfast bagel in Denver, stop at Rosenberg’s. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a bagel shop in NYC (where the owner is from).
On their menu, you’ll find all of the classic bagel flavors (like sesame, garlic, cinnamon raisin, and of course, everything) and your choice of shmear.
For a little more substance, try a breakfast sandwich, a fish sandwich, or a deli sandwich
Why We Love It
Rosenberg’s is an authentic bagel and lox restaurant – authentic because the owner, Joshua, is from New York City and worked tirelessly to replicate NYC’s methods and brought that to Denver successfully.
How lucky is Denver that someone who knows the craft of the bagel decided to bring it westward?
