The Hottest Restaurants in Denver Right Now, Fall 2024

"Jewish heritage meets Japanese influence in this brand-new Highlands daytime destination, where owner Miles Odell is turning out not only naturally leavened, hand-rolled bagels in flavors ranging from onion to furikake, as well as house-whipped cream cheese, and hand-sliced lox, but also sandos like koji-cured pastrami on rye and specials such as soy-marinated smoked tuna. Open Thursday through Monday from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., the shop also features coffee drinks from top roaster Middle State." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

I feel compelled to write a review just to shout out how good the orange marmalade bagel sandwich was. First off, the bagels here are amongst the best in the city, if not the best. That said, you gotta get the open-faced sandwiches, don’t settle for just a bagel and cream cheese. They are so well thought out and quality of the ingredients are impeccable. The prices are a bit steep, but definitely worth it. I’ve been to many of the best bagel spots in NYC, and the orange marmalade sandwich here is the best bagel item I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I came here for “The Counter” omakase. I’ll start by saying—the food was excellent. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I was also impressed by their variety of fish. This is a great spot to go to for special occasions! That being said, I think it’s a bit pricey for what it is. We paid $225 per person for our meal, and that didn’t even include drinks. At that price point you’d expect the food to be mind-blowingly amazing; that they’d serve at least 1 dish that was so unique and delicious that I’d remember it for the rest of my life. But I just didn’t feel that here. TL;DR Really delicious and great meal. But not really worth that price point in my opinion.

Damn, I just had a religious experience. There were too many interesting options to choose from. I went with the hamachi and the heirloom tomato open faces. And holyyy every bite was magic. So much flavor. I'm a lox bagel girl and it took everything to not go with my standard and I'm very glad I branched out. Will be back to try all the exciting things on the menu.

Quality bagel, excellent ingredients, even better craftsmanship. I did the pastrami lox bagel on everything. Amazing. You can order a whole bagel, or halves, but for the sandwiches you have to order the same bagel. incredible. Only downside is the location, but it’s worth it. The area is cute, but it’s still in Lakewood. You could definitely bring someone from New York or New Jersey here for bagels.

As former New Yorkers, we have been waiting for a decent bagel place to open, and this place definitely rings my bell! Today was our third time here, and it was the first time we were actually able to get their house made lox options! Those usually sell out because they’re so popular. We got the nova lox on everything and pastrami lox on furikake, which is a fun take on everything with a little seaweed seasoning. We also got two rosemary bagels to go. Previously, we had the lox cream cheese bagel, bacon egg & cheese sandwich, and whitefish. Everything has been fresh and delicious. The owner is usually there working on things and it’s cool to watch him work. The atmosphere is busy yet relaxed at the same time. As some reviews noted, these bagels may be a bit “hard” compared to what folks here are used to… because real bagels should have a bit of a “chew,” not just feel like bread with a hole in it. And yes, it can be a bit pricey, but again, for the quality and authenticity, I feel like it’s worth it.

I've been following them since their popup days, but the schedule never worked out for me. I was so happy to see they opened up a store front. My husband and I shared: - Open Face Sandwich on a Rosemary Bagel with half Nova Lox and half Plum Jam - Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Furikake Bagel with Calabrian Chili Cream Cheese These are some of the best bagels I've ever had. I love that they season the entire bagel so there is no bad side. I also love that they have some more unique flavors. The Calabrian Chili Cream Cheese is incredible and made the BEC bagel even better. I think that was my overall favorite, but everything was fantastic. We got there a few minutes before they open and there was a line of 15 or so people. It moved fast though—we probably waited for 15-20 minutes total between the line and waiting for our food to be ready after ordering. I don't think I'll go anywhere else in Denver for bagels anymore.

Come and get a breakfast sandwich or the open face sandwich but if you are looking for your bagel spot I wouldn't say this is it. Low variety of flavors of you want to get like a dozen say. The bagels on their own are a little dense and just ok, but the sandwiches and the ingredients they use are killer and delicious. You can tell they care about the quality, especially of their fish and have a lot of creativity. Great cream cheese options and take home and a cute little store section with tin fish and other options. Also ordered some to go plain bagels for later and they put them in individual plastic clamshells which is a minor problem but pretty wasteful.

Hands down one of the most unique and thoughtful dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Odell’s Bagel omakase completely redefines what you think a bagel experience can be — elevated, intentional, and absolutely delicious. Every course was a surprise and delight. Here’s everything we had: Zensai: • Bagel flower pickled onion, cured tomato, black olive powder, caper leaf Raw: • Kampachi – Trout Roe – Shiso • Scallop – Green Almond – Plum Chilled: • Asari Clam – Dashi Tomato Grilled: • Veggie Bowl – Grilled Zucchini – Sesame Yuzu Broth Nigiri Sushi: • Bagel – House-Smoked Salmon • King Mackerel – Wasabi Leaf • King Salmon – Pickled Onion • Amberjack – Ginger • Miso Cured Foie Gras • Tuna – Caviar – Scallion Donabe: • Local Mushroom – Shiso – Cured Yuba – Summer Truffle White Miso Soup Dessert: • Strawberry Ginger Sorbet – Yuzu Crumble Even the beverage pairing was spot on, with a Strawberry-Rhubarb Shochu Highball and natural wine selections from Gérard Boulay and Clemens Busch. Every dish felt thoughtful, seasonal, and balanced. 10/10 recommend if you want a culinary experience that’s cozy, unexpected, and beautifully executed

We stopped by on a Saturday around noon and it wasn't too busy and still had bagels left for us to try. The cashier was friendly and answered our many questions about the menu. It's a cute neighborhood spot with limited seating. As it was a nice day, we appreciated the outdoor seating to enjoy the sunshine. I am both a bagel and sushi lover and was so happy to try these flavors combined. We tried the salmon roe, hamachi, nova lox, and pastrami lox (which is still salmon by the way). My personal favorite was the salmon roe (ikura) with the wasabi bits on top as the salty fish eggs paired really well with the cream cheese. The various lox flavors were really good as well. I do wish the menu signage was more explicit about toppings because I didn't know what to expect! Luckily, we aren't picky and liked the toppings that came with the bagels (ex. dill capers, onions, etc.). We liked this place so much we got bagels here twice in one weekend! Highly recommend.

Phenomenal! We got there at 9:30 on a Saturday and glad we did. By 10AM it was packed. There's only about 12 seats so be prepared to get it to go. You can choose open faced to get two different kinds which is perfect. I got one side hamachi and one side orange marmalade and both were so good! The hamachi was insanely fresh and had fresh wasabi on it. I dream about it! The orange marmalade had chili crunch on it to give that sweet and spicy. My only complaint was the bagel did seem like yesterday's/wasn't super fresh. The topping was so good though that I'm ignoring it for now in hopes that was a fluke.

I got the Nova lox with the recommended rosemary bagel and I can't stop thinking about it. The salmon is perfectly salted and well balanced with the cream cheese and bagel ratio. The rosemary was such a nice surprise for an added flavor. The crisps of the onion and the burst of flavor from the capers made the bagel far from boring. The dill was also nice to bring some freshness without overpowering the bagel. The peach jam bagel was not too sweet and paired well with the cream cheese and bagel. They really know what they're doing here!

It's been 6 weeks since my previous visit. I saw an Instagram post last night they offering 2 types of caviar to top any open faced bagel. So I came just after 730am Saturday. They were moderately busy. I splurged for the Kaluga Hybrid caviar. Got 10 grams for $ 25.50 on my Nova Lox open faced Rosemary bagel. The other side had Whitefish. Very nice. I added 2 cups (free refill) of freshly brewed Middle State coffee. I was served by Paul L. After this wonderful breakfast, I got a Pumpernickel bagel & a tub of plain cream cheese for a friend. They are offering mini pizza bagels with pepperoni or cheese. I got 6 for $15. Tori B was the 2nd person to help me. Store was clean and they welcome dogs.

I usually don't crave a bagel unless I'm in NY, but Odell is the one place to change that for me. I was intrigued by their fun flavor combos and decided to go with their hamachi and salmon roe on furikake bagel. My husband had a more traditional bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel. I was blown away by my bagel halves - the hamachi was sooo fresh and so was the wasabi that was being grated on the spot. The salmon roe is marinated in house and perfectly done without being too salty. The furikake bagel flavor is also delicious and really creative to go with the more Japanese toppings. My husband's BEC was very good. Bacon quality was great and the everything bagel had a nice chew but airy at the same time. Although it is pricier than a standard bagel place, the quality and the creativity are worth it to me. Most bagel/bagel sandwich places are marginally different, but Odell's really stands out and will be a place I bring my visitors regularly.

Stopped by after an appointment I had in the area and looked pretty solid from pictures. Ordered the pick two with pastrami lox and salmon roe on an everything bagel. Was a little pricey but overall the flavor, texture and quality was there. The pastrami was lacking a bit in flavor but the salmon roe made up for it. Awesome salmon flavor, clean, a little bit of wasabi, and some herbs. Also got a cold brew coffee! Was easy to order at the counter, sit down, eat, and leave

Back again to try new flavors. If you still haven't been to Odell's then I don't know what you're doing with your life. The lines have settled down a bit for a Saturday morning at 10am. Still had all options left. I ordered all half sandwiches on furikake bagel - tuna soy - white fish - nova lox - salmon roe When I tell you the tuna soy is insanely good I mean it. I started laughing when I took a bite because what the heck??? Not too salty from the soy and not too fishy. Perfect bite and softness. White fish is great with the dill on the bagel. Nice smooth consistency. Nova lox as well has a great salmon flavor without being fishy. Capers give it the nice salty touch to it without it being overpowered. The salmon roe is one of my favorites as it will always be something I enjoy even outside of bagels. Not so salty roe goes well with its base. Little hints of real wasabi (not spicy, real wasabi doesn't give you that nasal burn) Big shoutout to chef because you guys know what you're doing

I lived in New Jersey and have been trying to find a comparable bagel to NJ and NYC and Denver. Until today that was not achieved but I can honestly say that Odell's Bagel is the best bagel I have ever had! Not only can you choose two different toppings for half your bagels but the ingredients are all so fresh! Although there was a line out the door, you get in and out quickly. The open concept is also great to be able to see them prep your bagel. 10/10 recommend!

I was prompted into trying Odell's Bagel when a group chat I was in posted about this bagel shop. When I first arrived, I was enthusiastic due to the line spanning out the door. However, my enthusiasm quickly evaporated when it came time to order. First, the pricing is on the expensive side. For example, they're charging $18 for pastrami cured salmon on top of a bagel. Second, they ran out of food. By the time I had gotten to the cash register, the lox was gone. They also ran out of all bagel types except for pumpernickel. Thus, I settled for a pumpernickel bagel with egg and bacon, which still ran me $12.50 before tax. Third, the countertop I sat down at, which was the only free space in the restaurant, was littered with breadcrumbs. Nevertheless, the food quality here is a strong redeeming feature. This bagel sandwich was absolutely delicious. More specifically, the bagel was crunchy on the outside while being dense on the inside; this high-quality bagel is unlike the bagels found at grocery stores and makes the wait totally worth it. Overall, Odell's has excellent bagels but fails on the service front. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Odell's is popular for a reason! Fresh New York style bagels meet Japanese flavors for a fun weekend breakfast. I got the half pastrami lox on sesame + Calabrian chili cream cheese on the other half. The pastrami lox was not too salty, and the ingredients were very fresh. The BEC on plain was hot and melty. Their eggs are exceptionally fluffy and creamy. Be prepared for a 20ish minute wait on the weekends!

There's a new bagel shop in town, and it's already become my favorite! Chef Miles trained in Japan, and you can see it in his technique and ingredients. Fresh wasabi on top of hamachi on a bagel? Mind blown PLUS, they're opening for dinner soon, and you better believe I'll be there! What I ordered: I tried their open-faced sandwiches like the lox, pastrami lox, plum jam, vegan, white fish, salmon roe & hamachi PLUS a bacon, egg & cheese bagel sandwich. Just a light breakfast! Best bite: Everything was amazing, but the hamachi bagel was outstanding! A combo I'd never think to try but now can't get enough of. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich? Absolutely delicious with the perfect melted cheese. And the pastrami lox is something everyone should experience. I could go on, but you need to try it yourself. Just a heads up...they do sell out, so get there early! M

I couldn't wait to try Odell's when it opened! We went on their 3rd weekend in the brick and mortar location. I was pleasantly surprised when there was no line and we were able to snag one of a handful of tables along the sidewalk. The space itself is clean and the decor is fun. We ordered a vegan bagel with regular cream cheese as well as the Jam one. I love an open face bagel and wish this style was more common. My only reluctance to recommend this place is that so much of the menu is fish forward and they don't do lattes - just drip and cold brew. As much as I enjoy raw fish and sushi, I'm not yet sold on having hamachi or roe on my bagel. I will definitely be back to try one of the breakfast sandwiches!

Honestly, one of the most delicious bagels I've eaten! So good, I came back the next day! The furikake bagel was an instant fave. Love, love, loved it with the salmon roe. Also tried the onion bagel on my second trip, as they were out of the furikake. Tried this with the hamachi, which was also excellent. Workers are also super friendly and helpful! This place is so, so good, and I can't wait to be back!

Chewy bagel achieved! Open just four weeks, thrilled to have another bagel shop in Denver that accomplishes a perfect texture, a generous shmear, and interesting flavors, like a furikake bagel and chili garlic cream cheese. I heard "pastrami lox" after we had ordered and will be back for this alone. The interior space is very trendy coffee shop, though limited counter top seating, which works really well. You can tell the chef really cares for his craft, having studied culinary in Japan. The plan is to eventually have small curated dinners featuring fish and Japanese flavors. There is even a little dry goods nook, including canned fish and their fish/bagel decorated ceramic mug that they serve their drip in.

There's a reason why many people say Odell's has the best bagels in Denver. It's because they are delicious. And the proof is in the line that forms before they even open. Surprisingly, while the line is long the wait is not. My wife and I waited about 15 minutes before we got our food. We shared a rosemary bagel with nova lox and scallion cream cheese, rosemary bagel with plum jam and plain cream cheese, and a furikake bagel with bacon, egg, cheese, and calabrian chili cream cheese. I was blown away by everything but the BEC bagel was exceptionally good. I think it has something to do with that calabrian cream cheese. As for ambiance, it's a young, hip restaurant. Wood countertops with artistic cartoon drawings on the walls. Many people wearing beanies. You know the vibe.

Got these sandwiches this morning and Was super excited to try it! They just opened and just started doing sandwiches (today..? Idk), so I'm giving it a 3/5 because I know there's a ton of room for improvement and things to workout! The "egg sandwiches" are $10.5 and then $12.5 if you want to add bacon. I think that's steep, but I digress. The inside of the shop is really nice and new but with a comfy bakery feel. The staff were super nice and friendly and I didn't think the wait was too long (about 15 mins) given how busy it was. There's a bit of an "open concept" to the layout of the shop so you can basically watch them make each sandwich which was cool, btw the open face sandwiches with the lox looked KILLER. Didn't order them tho, maybe next time. I think the bagel itself was a 4/5, being from the east coast I really miss good bagel and I didn't think these were too far off. I want to try one with just cream cheese next time for the real feel. The sandwich was decent, I think if they want to up-charge $2 for bacon they should add more bacon. We got 4 sandwiches and the amount of egg was different on each one (as you can see in the pic)! I know that's nitpicking, but just an honest review! I think there's a lot of room for growth here and I am excited to see how it develops! Pumped to go back!

Odell's is a cute bagel shop with friendly service. I ordered the Nova Lox on an onion bagel. The bagel and cream cheese were excellent! I would say I have had better lox bagels in Denver that were slightly less expensive. Overall, a great option if in the area.

I've never thought to put salmon roe on a bagel, and having it here for the first time was delicious. While it's a pretty damn good bagel, it's not the best bagel I've ever had to justify the pricing. Honestly, if the prices weren't so high, I'd probably frequent this place more often but my order of one half pastrami lox, one half salmon roe on an everything bagel and a cup of cold brew ended up being a little over $30 with tip. That's just too much for a smaller than average bagel with meh portions of lox. However, I do appreciate the wider variety of hot sauces they provide to top off your bagel. Inside is a clean & small space with a couple of tables and some counter seating as well, but I saw plenty of people just come and grab some bagels to-go so there was plenty of seating available even during a Saturday lunch rush.

I went around 8am on a Sunday and it wasn't busy at all, which was nice. Small menu, which is also a plus when the restaurant knows what they are doing. They have multiple types of bagels. They only offer a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. No sausage or ham. Their lox did look very good. Cold brew was on point.

Holy Moly! I've had NY bagels. This bagel was INSANE! I got the salmon roe and the pastrami lox on furikake bagel. So.Damn.Good. I will be dreaming about them until I can make it back. Still pretty new so line is a bit long and slow on weekends but worth it! Space is beautiful.

This new kid on the Block is delicious and well worth any sort of wait. Their bagels are phenomenal, especially if you like your bagels with lox or smoked fish. There are so many different kinds of breakfast sandwiches or ways to load your bagel, and the bagels are so fresh and delicious. I loved any of the locks bagels as that's what keeps me coming back to these types of places. The owners story is also cool and you can tell this is a true passion project. They offered latkes over the holidays, which looked delicious, but I didn't get my hands on any. But whatever you get from here is going to be 10 out of 10. I highly recommend.

What Odell's shows us is that it is possible to make a proper bagel in Denver. We can no longer accept any excuses about water being different on the east coast. This is objectively the best bagel in town. I have tried them all. Great job, guys. You nailed it. However, will I ever again wait 35 minutes for a bagel and cream cheese? No. The staff move at a glacial pace. I think it was easily 2 minutes between each order being called. We got in line and there were 8 or so people in front and we figured we'd wait 10 minutes. Nope. The bagels and cream cheese are $5. Fine. This appears to be the standard in town. However, the bagels are small (see photo) and at least with the scallion cream cheese, it was extremely thin and runny and frankly flavorless. It might be worth it to just grab some fresh bagels ($3/each, $30/dozen) and buy your own cream cheese.

Most definitely the best bagel in Denver! Their housemade lox are to die for and you can do half and half -- I got the homemade plum jam on the other half and it was so darn good. Awesome flavors of bagels (rosemary is my favorite) and interesting specials each weekend as well. Highly recommend! Food: 5

Top tier - so glad this has opened in Denver. Bagels are great but the fish and the quality, attention to detail, etc. are what sets Odell's apart. Excellent.

As someone who grew up in Jersey and out here since 1997, I have been starving for an extremely close-by GREAT bagel place. Tired of the good ones. Mission now accomplished. But, even if you personally have to drive farther to it, you should. And, finding good, fresh seafood taste in our landlocked state is also hard at more simpler places like Odell's. Mission two accomplished. We went at 845am on a Saturday. Line to the outside door, but it moved very fast. They are efficient behind the counter, and I noticed several people doing multiple, crossover jobs in unity. Every person who came in contact with a customer had a true smile on their face. Line was outside by the time we left, and I hear they eventually run out of bagels every single day. You order and can stand, or they have bar seating that seemed to consistently open up. Hot sauces available, with good variety of types. High energy environment without being annoying. Water station and things to buy while waiting. The owner apparently came from chef training and Michelin brand background, and it showed in the food. Pretty sure he was back there prepping stuff while we were there. Open kitchen, so you see everything that is being done, which is cool. They had a cooler with drinks and cream cheese, and I assume that will expand as time goes by. Limited selection for now, but unique options, I will say. I got the Pastrami Lox on everything bagel, and wife got the tuna and salmon roe, both on furikake. She was smarter than me and split it up. I recommend that you also split it up and get half and half for variety. I already have my pumpernickel bacon egg cheese with Calabrian cream cheese order in my head for next time. And something else, because remember I will be splitting it up. The place is a little pricey (my whole bagel was $17), but once you bite into the order, your taste buds understand the high-level ingredients this place is using. Totally worth the price. I highly recommend Odell's and see you there...

Move over CYM, Leroy's, powerhouse, etc...there's a new bagel place on this side of town and it puts you all to shame! These are some high quality insanely delicious and incredibly unique bagels with a Japanese twist (if you so choose). If bagels were awarded Michelin stars I think Odell's has a good shot at it. Yes they're pricier, but well worth the extra $. Arrived on a Saturday around 9am to a bustling but efficiently run shop, smelling wonderful, and greeted by friendly staff where I had to make a tough choice on a menu with soooo many choices. I went full Japanese style send and got a furikake bagel half hamachi and half salmon roe. We grabbed a counter seat and watched the staff work their efficient magic. Partner had the pastrami lox on everything. All of it was a delightful mix of flavors on the palate. Already planning my next 6 orders. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed!!

The cream cheese is so fresh and reminiscent of crema. The compote was literally so good like I would buy it separately. It's sweet but balanced and it gives homemade/local vibes. I also had an egg and cheese on onion bagel which was really tasty too! I love the folded egg texture. Bagels were about 10 bucks each but definitely worth it for the quality and if you want to treat your self to a little more upscale fresher/curated ingredients! They do tend to run out sometimes so get there early or go on a weekday Monday/tuesday/Thursday (they are closed Wednesday)

These bagels are delicious with an outside layer that is crisp with some chew. The insides are a smidge dry. This is an area for improvement. You likely won't notice if you opt for a sandwich or aren't as picky as me. The bacon, egg and cheese on everything is elevated with expertly cooked eggs and bacon that will set you back $12.50, and easily the best in town. The portion is generous. The cheese was another standout, and although it was American, it was another level American cheese. The ingredients are top notch and it is easy to taste the difference from places around town. No pre-made egg patties or brittle/flabby bacon here. I am ruined for sesame seed bagels now as the salted sesame is perfection at Rich Spirit. The light addition of salt improves sesame bagels significantly. The classically prepared sesame bagel here is damn good though. The everything bagel seasoning is perfection. It was busy but it wasn't overly crowded when we were there early in the morning on a Sunday. It took about 10 minutes or so for our sandwiches to be done. It was a very reasonable wait, especially for the quality. And it is a very nice atmosphere in the shop that played ambient upscale music. It was fun to watch the experts in the kitchen crank out the goods while we waited. It is impressive what they've done to transform this space from the former bakery. Of course, it would be nice if the lobby was bigger. There is additional seating outside but it was pretty cold to be eating outside the morning we were there and the location doesn't receive sun in the morning. Odell's is a great addition that is clearly run by people who love food.

Unpopular opinion: for the 45 minute wait and the $50 bill for bagels for 2, I think I'd rather go to Rosenberg's. It was good, just not my favorite in town

Nice place, not so sure about how fresh the bagels were. My bagels to go were hard. It could also be the way they were showcased and the wind hitting... will have to try it again

BEST bagel creations I've ever seen. Salmon roe?! HAMACHI?! With freshly grated wasabi?! Everything is carefully prepared with so much attention and detail. And holy crap, the house made plum jam with the fresh basil... i am speechless. The bagels are NY level. The toppings are premium quality and well worth the price. Odell's is THE bagel spot in Denver.

40 dollars for 2 average bagels. If you want a bagel "call your mother" puts this place in the dirt.

Bagels are good but you will be eating next to the worst people in Denver. 10$ bagel is pretty wack

An excellent addition to the neighborhood! Friendly staff, quick service, but the star of the show is of course the bagels. An underrated quality of Odell's is the option to have a filling brunch (lox, whitefish, egg & cheese, etc. sandwiches) or the more cost-effective bagel & schmear - still an amazing breakfast. Can't wait to enjoy them on the patio this summer!

Worth the wait! The bacon egg and cheese was absolutely top notch. The bacon was very high quality and delicious. Even though the price is a little expensive I thought it was soooo worth it! Can't wait to go again!

Ive never really understood when people talk about the integrity of bagels and their composition but when I tried an Odell's bagel I was like, OH I get it. I've had the plain, everything, and furikake and they were all amazing. The white fish is to die for and the plum jam is so cozy and perfectly sweet. I can't wait to try their other offerings.

i got the rosemary bagel with vegan cream cheese. the vegan cream cheese is made in house and was super yummy! the rosemary bagel was also delicious and surprisingly flavorful! I'll definitely be going back. I'm from Jersey and I think it's safe to say these are the best bagels I've had in Denver. the sandwich prices can be a little steep but I think you're getting great quality -- vibes were really great in there too
