Best Bagels In America: Colorado Favorite Makes List

A popular Colorado bagel shop was named on Food & Wine's 'Best Bagels in America' list, which includes nearly 50 spots across the country.

Rosenberg's Bagels and Delicatessen has spots in Aurora's Stanley Marketplace and Denver's Five Points neighborhood, and the business is set to open a new bagel shop in Boulder in April.

Food & Wine gave high praise to Rosenberg's owner for accomplishing his lofty goal of creating a New York-style bagel shop.

"Jersey boy Joshua Pollack is easily turning out the closest thing to a New York-style bagel in the Mountain Time Zone, in a warm, come-one-come-all environment that will make any sojourning New Yorker feel at home," the report's Rosenberg's profile read.

Rosenberg's sells some of the most popular New York-style classics all day: 'The Heart Attack,' which includes tender belly bacon, Polidori sausage, Taylor Ham, fried eggs, cheddar and American cheese on an everything bagel; 'The Jersey Boy,' with double-stacked ham, fried eggs, American cheese in an egg bagel; 'L.E.O.' — lox, scrambled eggs, onions and plain cream cheese on your choice of bagel; and many more Northeast favorites, including vegetarian options. Rosenberg's also sells deli sandwiches, salads, pastries and a range of sides.

Pollack, who was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City, left to attend the University of Colorado Boulder. He met his wife in Colorado, and they opened Rosenberg's Delicatessen in 2014.

The new Boulder bagel shop, set to open at 1262 College Ave. in April, will turn into Rosenberg's After Dark in the evening, with pizza, music and televisions.
