Apollo Bagels

Just landed in nyc. Super hyped to be here. My cousin recommended this spot so I went. It’s pretty cold outside, definitely not used to the cold. It feels like Tahoe when it snows. I think it’s just all snowy weather. But regardless, I got the salmon sandwich. Really good. I liked how they prepared the bagel. It was crispy but inside a bit more chewy. The salmon was great. I also like the sauce they put on. It had a nice acidity to it which cuts through the fat very nicely. The cream cheese was good, not a lot but a decent amount. My Beli gave it a 7.7 and I think it could be higher but overall very solid. Definitely a great place to go!

My daughter loves this bagel spot but I was skeptical because I'm more of an egg and sausage kind of guy. Still, we took her advice on a recent trip and I was blown away. Be warned, that they have a limited menu beyond a bagel with cream cheese / butter, but that didn't ruin our experience. They have a tomato or salmon option and we tried both, equally enjoying both. A lot of bagel places with slather cream cheese to the point where you can literally tub the extras for home, but not this place. So if a bagel overflowing with cream cheese is your thing, be warned. BUT, the lack of filling did nothing to detract from the bagel experience. It was a tasty, balanced flavor. I really loved the dill pieces on the salmon bagel and the bagel itself was the star. Toasty, crunchy, soft and warm

I had been seeing a lot of buzz about Apollo Bagels and finally decided to check it out. Walking in, I have to admit the overall vibe and aesthetic were really cute definitely one of those spots where you don’t mind snapping a quick picture before digging in. The presentation of the bagels themselves is also really nice, and you can tell they put thought into the look of the place. As for the food, the bagels have a really unique texture. It’s not your average New York bagel, and that part actually impressed me. The chew and crispness stood out and showed that they are doing something a little different from the traditional style. Flavor-wise, the bagels were solid, and I can see why people enjoy them. That being said, if you’re going here expecting a hearty breakfast that will keep you

Their bagels are the best toasted bagels I’ve ever had in my life. They just made it hard for us to find this same level of toasted bagels back in our hometown.😅 We ordered 2 opened sandwiches: Tomatoes ($7) and Smoked Salmon ($15). Tomatoes ones are the MVP for us. The bagel is toasted till crunchy. Tomatoes are sweet and just a little sour. Top with olive oil, black pepper and salt. They are just the best combinations. Smoked salmon one also tasty with a balance between Salmon, cream cheese and red onion. It was just as good as it looked but nothing beyond expectation.

Don’t come for me, but Apollo Bagel is elite. I went to the Williamsburg location. There was a small line, but it moved fast. I ordered the tomato and cream cheese on an everything bagel and honestly… it slaps!!! The bagel had the perfect crunch-to-soft ratio. Not too dense, not too airy. The heirloom tomato slices were fresh and ripe, finished with an olive oil drizzle and cracked pepper that pulled everything together. Simple and delicious! Obsessed!!
