So happy to have finally tried out this gem! You're greeted by the smell of warm fresh bagels and friendly staff right when you walk in. Fun to watch them make them too! What you need to get - everything bagel (so chewy and perfect) with chive cream cheese and add lox. Chefs kiss .. it's perfect! They don't mess around with tomatoes, onions and capers (if you want that you can order the lox cream cheese, beware it's heavy on the dill). No traditional breakfast sandwiches like egg sausage bacon, etc but the lox hits the spot! Check them out and get there early!

Even with the limited selection (no sandwiches, just a few bagel options), Rich Spirit makes the new best bagel in Denver. For many years, the bagel scene in Denver was pretty terrible. We had Rosenberg's, Moe's, and not a whole lot else. People would say The Bagel Deli, but the bagels at The Bagel Deli were supplied by Rosenberg's and Moe's, so they were all same same. Now, we have Call Your Mother (delicious chain), O'Dell's (seriously overrated), AND Rich Spirit, the best of them all. The service is super friendly, but this isn't necessarily a kid friendly place or a place to get a filling bagel sandwich. This is a laid back place to get a bagel and cream cheese. They'll both be good, and the bagels have great texture with a crispy exterior and soft, bready, airy inner. If you're out that way, Rich Spirit will start to change your mind on the Denver bagel scene.

I understand the hype. We arrived around 10 AM and found a short line just past the door. As we approached the counter, we were a bit concerned about the limited availability of bagels. However, just as it was our turn, they brought out some hot everything bagels fresh from the oven. I ordered a salt bagel with chive cream cheese and lox, while my husband opted for the everything bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagels had a nice crunchy exterior and a fluffy, soft interior. The cream cheese was the creamiest I've ever tasted, and the lox was delicious.

Soooo good! The freshest bagels. All the flavors were so good. Poppy and sesame were my favorite. They were on the denser side but I liked it. Will be back

Chewy and fluffy bagels! I love that you can pre order for pickup on a weekend and that it was right on time. The cream cheese lacked flavor in my opinion but bagels made up for it.

I feel like every review of a bagel (or pizza) shop from a person who's lived in NY/NJ is the same: "it's not as good as back home, I'm a bagel expert, wahhh." To get it out of the way: Rich Spirit makes a really good bagel! No, it's not exactly the same as your favorite tri-state area bagel shop, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I found these bagels had all the key elements of a good one:-they're boiled, so they have a nice chew. -they're large in circumference and have a nice mix of airy and dense texture. (A little more toward the airy side). -they are NOT simply "rolls with holes" like you'd get from a lender's back at the grocery store, or at a motel continental breakfast buffet in Iowa. -they maybe use some sourdough in the mix? It had a nice flavor to the dough, but not overpowering. The everything certainly is salty, but don't order it if you don't want that. I haven't tried the plain yet but they look good. They don't have quite the density and chew of a tri-state bagel, they're almost like a Montreal/NY hybrid in that they've got a little char and maybe a slight sweetness in the dough. Only drawback is the cream cheese quantity is a bit lacking. I wish the tub was larger for the price. We will be back, regularly! The bar is set pretty high as far as Denver and Colorado bagels here at Rich Spirit. Arrive early and expect a line. Try to order ahead. It's not NY, but it's a good bagel! Yeah, that is possible.

We wanted bagels while out of town and Yelp let us know this place was in the area. I really enjoyed my everything bagel with a big schmear of cream cheese on it. With my coffee from the place a few doors down, it hit the spot while we enjoyed the nice weather. Even though I was full, I could have ordered a dozen to eat later, but we were getting on a plane later and I didn't have space. They're so much better anywhere when they come out hot and they seem to do rather frequently at this place. (At least in the morning while we were there.) The place seems very popular, especially with to-go orders. Get them while they're hot!

These bagels are pheromonal!! Exterior is super crunchy, inside is perfectly soft. If you order it with cream cheese, they give you a LOT! Note that you can preorder, but these are only a dozen bagels and schmear. If you want to do a single bagel, you will have to do a walk in, and they have limited numbers available for walk ins. When I went, the everything bagels available for walk ins were sold out by 8:15 (they open at 8am). Note that there were other flavors still available for walk in after 8:15. They do have a limited number of bagel flavors, but the flavors they do have, they make perfectly!There is plenty of parking available. Staff is also super nice and helpful. There is a small bar area for eating, but I wouldn't count on it being open - just a few seats. There also isn't a whole lot of seating outdoors, but you could probably find something inside Gold's Marketplace if you wanted to!

Absolutely phenomenal!! Nice big fluffy bagels with the perfect crunch. The salt bagels use maldon which is different but works. Just wish they delivered, it's a pain to get to from Denver but definitely worth it!

Hard to find good bagels in the Golden /Arvada area?. Bingo!! Rich Spirit is it! Great bagels, lots of good cream cheeses, and a handy coffee shop next door.
