If you’re from the East Coast and miss the taste of a real bagel, look no further than Bagel Cafe in Castle Rock. These bagels are the real deal — perfectly chewy on the inside with that crisp, golden exterior that only a true New York-style bagel delivers. From the first bite, you can tell they know what they’re doing. This isn’t just bread with a hole in it — it’s authentic, flavorful, and made with care.
The variety of cream cheese flavors is incredible. Whether you want classic plain, veggie, scallion, or something a little more adventurous, they’ve got it — and every one I’ve tried has been fresh, creamy, and absolutely delicious.

We would like to visit again, but really hope they update some of...

Friendly staff and lots of bagels to choose from. The sandwiches were very good as were the variety of schmears offered.
Only thing I would love to see is Taylor Ham for a real NJ pork roll egg and cheese on their everything bagel - which was absolute perfection even with just egg and cheese on it today. Prices were very reasonable as well.
I will be coming back here as often as I possibly can. I wish they were open at 6am so I could get a bagel on my way in to work but I guess I’ll have to go in late when I am craving...
