Backstreet Bagel Company

We were driving through Montrose and needed a light lunch so we popped into Backstreet Bagel Co.

The bagels were fresh and the quality was excellent. The bagel with lox is a must have, if you’re a lox lover like me.

They also had truly excellent espresso. It was much better than most and comparable to what you’d find in a good European café. What a pleasant surprise that was!

The little private patio in the back was a perfect place to nosh in the shade. If I lived anywhere near Montrose, I’d be a regular.

Awesome place with great coffee and bagels. The girls that work there are great, friendly, and crazy efficient. Wish we had a place like this back home

I love how friendly and helpful everyone is here and how absolutely delicious everything is! From coffee to bagels, you seriously can't go wrong. The Cafe mocha coffee is just to die for and I definitely found my new spot. The coffee is fresh and made to order and not bitter or burnt tasting, which seems hard to find these days. I have so many good things to say about this place and now, I'm actually looking forward to waking up early just to head over for a piping hot cup of coffee (and a bagel)!

Great food and coffee. So nice not to be in a chain and to be around locals …lots of grandparents grandkids and cowboy hats. Gem!

Adorable little bagel/coffee shop. Tried their cheddar jalapeno and cinnamon bagels. Support your local business!

This spot is an absolute gem! I haven't lived in Montrose for 10 years and I still make a point to stop here when driving through. Bagels are the best I've ever had. The coffee is really good too. Whatever fresh baked goods they have always are a delicious. They've been consistent all these years.

The food and coffee is good, but it would be nice if the people working there didn't wear tank tops exposing their arm pits all over the food. Not a fan of the leniency on the dress code. Tank tops and short shorts should not be allowed. Period. And this is coming from someone who has worked in the food industry for years. We do enjoy the food though. Not many places to get decent food in montrose.

Extremely friendly staff who appear proud of food they sell. They should be. Located on a very busy highway 550 near the airport you could easily drive by and not know it was here. Take the time to find it and stop. Serving breakfast and lunch bagel sandwiches along with flatbread sandwiches this is topped off with excellent coffee. I drink a lot of coffee in the cappuccino I ordered an excellent flavor and wasn't just a bunch of hot milk. I ordered the Reuben bagel sandwich and it really hit the spot. It was fresh and the meat was very lean and delicious.

The bagels are amazing! And so many options for both breakfast and lunch. Lots of coffee drinks and smoothies too. We could eat here everyday and not get bored. Top notch!

Stumbled upon this family owned breakfast joint after hearing rave reviews about it from friends. Staff makes you feel like family, and every bite of my everything breakfast bagel sando had me declaring “THIS is the single best bite of breakfast I’ve ever had.” I can tell the owners pride themselves on using only the most quality of ingredients, without skimping on quantity. My husbands Roast Beef sandwich was piled high with incredible shaved meat, and we made sure to buy a bakers dozen bagels to take home (we froze them to preserve their freshness, as they HAND MAKE them daily with no preservatives or fillers). Can’t wait to drive through Montrose once again to visit this Crown Jewel of Southern CO!
