One guy, a small kitchen, a lot of bagels.
In 2022, Jake was working a soulless desk job and wanted more from his career. He loved to bake, and couldn't find a real New York–style bagel anywhere near home, so he got to work. From a guy with a new hobby living in a desert of decent bagels, Goyish Bagels was born.
For the next couple of years, Jake got up hours before his day job to mix and roll dough, then bake and deliver fresh bagels to friends and neighbors. As his recipe and technique came together, he found his first retail partner in Black Fox Provisions in downtown Evergreen. Black Fox opened the door to a much larger audience and made it hard to deny that this thing might actually be real.
By 2026, Goyish Bagels had outgrown the home kitchen where it all started. Jake found a new home in the kitchens at Snowpack Taproom, and later this year Goyish Bagels will open its first ever brick-and-mortar location. Co-located with Snowpack at 27175 Main Street in Conifer, the Goyish Bagels counter will serve up fresh bagels and delicious breakfast sandwiches. Same guy, same traditional methods, just a lot more bagels.
A wink, not a credential.
What does “Goyish” mean, anyway? In Yiddish, “goy” means a non-Jewish person. Yes, that's us. Our name reflects our approach to bagelmaking: we're not Jewish ourselves, but we're students of a craft that Jewish bakers have developed and refined for centuries. At Goyish Bagels we're not Jewish, but we're working on it.
Try a half-dozen.
Bagels are pre-order only — spots are limited and they go fast.
