Might be most unique dish I've had in Denver. At the base, the bagels are great with soft interiors & leathery exteriors. Smell great too. The fish based dishes were all 5 out of 5x highly suggest you to splurge a little and try the same 4 I got. You won't be disappointed!!!!! WORTH THE HYPE! 5 out of 5 read more

Sushi bagels? Yes please! I saw the ikura picture from Instagram and have been craving it ever since! It was so fresh and delicious, plus the wasabi toppings - worth the drive over. I was also really impressed by the furikake bagels! Had to get a half dozen to go (2 furikake, 2 everything, 1 blueberry). The SEC sandwich was also good but I think I would choose a different bagel instead of the everything bagel. It was pretty dry. Not sure if you were able to add cream cheese but I ordered so fast I didn't know. It's one of those places that I really enjoyed that I'm already thinking about going again - like tomorrow! Haha Street parking! There are lots nearby but I'm not sure if they are pay-to-park or for those businesses only. read more

This was my first breakfast at home post baby number 2 and lox were a must! Odell's was the perfect spot to get a great quality bagel with unique flavor profiles. I'm getting hungry right now just writing this review! My husband grabbed it to go so I'm not sure of the look of the restaurant but he did say there was a long line even on a weekday but they moved through the line quickly. read more

This is the most impressive bagel spots I've visited. The texture of the bagel itself is not what wowed me but rather all the flavors. You can get two different bagel halves which I appreciated so I tried the tuna poke and the rhubarb marmalade with ginger, both of which have cream cheese as a base. The tuna poke was so fresh and the rosemary bagel was truly loaded with rosemary. The rhubarb jam was deliciously sweet, there was a generous amount, and I loved the ginger on top. I highly recommend looking at the menu ahead of time because it can be a bit overwhelming with all the options and even on a weekday there was a lineup mid morning. There is limited seating: one 4 person table inside, counter seating and 2-3 tables outside. I have heard some individuals complain about the price but I would easily pay $10 for that tuna poke bagel half any day which is a hearty meal on its own. read more

I was excited to try this place and even more excited that it wasn't too busy due to the Farmers Market. It's a small place but there is some bar seating, a few tables both inside and out. Everyone is really friendly and the orders come out fast. The bagel sandwiches are really good. read more

Odell's Bagel is seriously my favorite spot! I ordered a rosemary bagel with salmon roe, pastrami and whitefish, all with cream cheese and they were fresh! The bagel was warm and perfectly toasty. Everything tasted delicious and the flavors worked so well together. I especially loved that they added lots of dill!! I was a little sad the hamachi had run out, but honestly this is as close to a New York-style bagel as it gets! I've definitely come here multiple times and will keep coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving a really good bagel! read more

Came back to give this place another shot and honestly it was still okay, I still believe it's overhyped. Super cool that they are able to slice up fresh fish in front of you but my bagel with bacon came out with floppy bacon and my hamachi bagel felt under-seasoned. Service was great though and the bacon portions were also great so I'm raising it up a star from my previous rating. If the bacon was cooked a bit more and if the hamachi had maybe some ponzu on it I would give this place a higher rating. Still want to come try their sushi dinner because I've heard good things. read more

I used to say Odell's was indisputably the best bagel in Denver given how fresh their seafood tastes (particularly their white fish and hamachi - which is flown in from Japan). However, not sure if my most recent Japan trip has me a little biased but the hamachi was good not great but the whitefish was a letdown as it was too salty. read more

Favorite bagels in Denver! If I lived closer to Odell's, I fear I'd gladly be here everyday. The fish here is so fresh and almost melts in your mouth. I appreciate that they don't skimp on the toppings/herbs and the cream cheese is utter perfection. Also, their evening omakase sushi experience is amazing! I think about the strawberry brioche French toast that I had here at least once a week. They do often sell out of bagels often so make sure you go early! read more

Small bagel counter shop - not much room for seating but can easily take to go. If you like fish their unique open face bagels sandwiches are a must! The register attendant wasn't rude but she def wasn't personable or friendly- luckily this wasn't enough to knock off a star in the total rating of this place. Had the tuna poke and pastrami lox on furikake bagel = so good. The tuna poke was incredibly fresh and cut to order, but the pastrami lox stole the show for me! The flavors and ingredient portions were perfection. Also ordered a basic egg, bacon and cheese on an everything bagel sandwich - the bacon could have been crispier but it was a still solid brekkie sandwich, however, I would not choose it over the other two we had. I really wanted to try their bagel plus house made plum jam and we didn't learn until at the register that they are out of jam until the next seasonal one can be made (citrus base of some sort), bummer for timing I guess. Snagged seats at the bar where you can watch the cooks at work - cutting up fish with precision and fresh made bagels in a variety of flavors. Word is they offer limited dinner dining at the counter as well which I am intrigued to try. Overall, I plan to return! read more

Found my new favorite bagel spot in town! It was crowded so come prepared to wait in a line. Service was quick and at 1pm they were still preparing fresh bagels.

Love the topping options. Bagels are totally overdone and have a super crunchy crust like a sourdough batard (without being toasted). The dough is very dense and heavy as well. Not really my idea of a bagel. Line takes 20-30 minutes and it's mainly because ordering takes far too long. Once you place your order, they deliver qui read more

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 read more

Formerly the Denver baking company it felt weird coming back here after so long. Odell's is serving up yummy bagels and I like that you can do half portions!

These bagels are very good and super crispy. They have a perfect ratio of fish to cream cheese on them. We really enjoyed the two sandwiches we got, which was the white fish and the pastrami lox. The lox sammie had a perfect splash of delicious olive oil, capers, and onions on it. They don't put too much or too little on anything and the seasoning is so well balanced. Can't wait to return for the sushi! read more

As close as I think you can get to a NYC bagel in the Denver area! Adorable little corner shop with an open kitchen concept so you can watch the staff at work.

It's been a few months. I got there this morning at 815. About 1/2 of the seats were occupied. While waiting, several people were ordering 12 to 16 bagels for takeout. I got the Lox Egg Scramble on an onion bagel. Lots of egg and plenty of lox. I added a cup of strongly brewed drip coffee from Middle State and a bottle of fresh orange juice. I checked their prices from earlier in the summer. No increases. They still charge a 2% wellness fee fo the employees. Free refills for the coffee. read more

These bagels have a lot of hype, and I'm not really sure why. They're very dense, pretty small, and there's not a ton of variety. It could just be good marketing, but these bagels could only qualify as good in a city with limited bagel options like our Denver is. Call Your Mother and Rich Spirit run laps around these bagels, and it's not all that close. The bagels can take a surprisingly long time to come out, even when you're dining in, but the interior with its open kitchen is nice and feels like it fits the vibe of the neighborhood. Not a huge fan myself, but it could still be the #5 best bagel in Denver. read more

I've been waiting 9 months to try their Hamachi bagel and it did not disappoint! I got half of that one and half nova lox on an everything bagel.

Can't wait to go back and try a hot bagel sandwich! read more

The hamachi bagel was phenomenal!!!!! You could literally see them cutting the slices behind the counter which was pretty cool.

Long line but they honestly pushed stuff out pretty quickly. Cute place just small. Highly recommend! read more

I live in a city where lox bagels aren't really a thing, so when I started planning my first trip to Denver, I asked locals for food recommendations. This spot came up and I was excited to find it was just a short drive from my Airbnb. I'm not a bagel expert. I usually just grab the two-pack from Costco, add cream cheese and I'm completely satisfied. This spot def exceeded any expectation I had. I really enjoyed the two open-faced sandwiches I tried. I went with the pastrami lox and the hamachi on furikake, which the staff said were their favorites. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. Some of the flavors and textures were new to me. I like new things. They didn't hold back on the spread or the toppings. The bread was decent. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of texture, but it was a bit tough to bite into. I think the furikake worked really well with both toppings, but I wish I tried something else along with it. I took my time eating them, because of how much flavor was packed in, and partly because they were a little messy. Definitely grab a few napkins if you're trying this spot! I sat at the bar facing the employees, which was a nice experience. It was cool watching them do their day-to-day routine, chatting with each other and the customers. Great vibe for a relaxed start to the day. I got lucky showing up when I did around 9am on a Saturday, no line. But by 9:30, the line was out the door. read more

Would you believe me if I told you a bagel was one of, if not the top meal of my week-long trip in Denver? Ok yes, 3 of those days were spent eating plastic elementary school-grade food at a ski resort so the bar was practically buried deeper than the bottom of an oil well. But between the couple of trendy spots we hit, Odell probably topped them all. This isn't just some simple bagel shop that spread different flavor cream cheese on a toasted bagel. They had bagels flavors like Pumpernickel, Furikake, Cinnamon Raisin, unique flavors you don't find in your local bagel joint. Then they had quite a selection of toppings, and I'm talking beyond smoked salmon or bacon egg and cheese. I went with the Furikake bagel, and loved that they allowed different toppings for each half of the bagel. The hamachi had a bit of a fishy taste to it, but not mushy. Which made it better than most Americanized sushi joints. The star of the show was the Salmon Roe. It paired perfectly with the cream cheese and added a delightful umami taste that mixed in so well with the toasted bagel. #340 read more

We tried to come here around the holidays but they didn't update their hours on Google. So we attempted to go again and it was finally open. It's a cute modern bagel shop/cafe. They serve coffee and drinks in a cooler but it is clear their core competency are bagels and breads. We got a bagel sandwich and a bagel with cream cheese. The sandwich didn't have enough cheese evenly distributed, I took one bite and got mostly cheese and egg and then next was all egg and a little bacon. It's was a $12 sandwich so a bit expensive but it was loaded with fresh egg. The bagel and cream cheese was the perfect amount of cream cheese to bagel ratio and the bagels are soft with a bit of toasted crunch, they clearly know how to make a great bagel. I will be back to try the bagel and lox as it seems everyone was ordering them to-go. read more

This place was packed with a consistent line out the door, but I got lucky and snagged a seat at the bar.

The bagels are delicious, and they're very packed with the cream cheese. read more

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. read more

I love furikake and am a sucker for something unusual so I tried their furikake bagel. Im use to savory furikake so I ordered it with a scallion cream cheese. Unfortunately, their bagel was sweet so it was an odd combination. I'm more of a savory bagel person personally so I wish I knew it was going to be sweet. Otherwise, the bagel had a nice texture and they didn't skimp on cream cheese! Service was pretty ok, nothing special or particularly friendly. There's a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. I wish they had asked me if it was for takeout or eat in since they put the bagel in a plastic Togo container, which I'd happily have foregone to save some plastic since I was eating there. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Visited Odell's Bagels for brunch because we there was always a line out the door! I ordered two halves (you have to pick the same bagel for both halves - I picked an everything bagel because they were out of the furikake bagel unfortunately) both halves looked were really beautiful! I liked the salmon roe, slightly salty and great texture. The nova lox was just okay, truthfully, it was a little bland - could have used a sprinkle of flaky salt to bring out the flavors. Overall, solid. read more

Had to try the hamachi sandwich. The furikake bagel was fun and I was impressed that I could still taste the bagel and its chew in the sandwich format. Really great. A little heavy handed on the cream cheese for me personally but it was deliche. Price is expensive but appropriate for the product and the market. For us it will be a special treat. Be aware that they may sell out early, parking may be challenging, and there is very little indoor seating. read more

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. read more

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. read more
