Ignore the total & complete lack of ambiance here. The bagels are flat out excellent. I got an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese, lox, capers, red onion, & fresh dill. YUM!! I appreciated that the bagel wasn't loaded down with cream cheese. The lox portion was generous. The staff is friendly. Total 10!
Have to say that this place lives up to the hype. This has been on my list for a while and glad I came across one this weekend. We ordered the lox on an everything bagel. The bagel was crisp on the outside with a slight chew which made it feel less dense than typical bagels. They have a simple menu so I can't wait to try the others. What I like about this location is the amount of seating they have. Perfect for a meetup or a break during the day.
I can't stop thinking about this place since my recent visit! The bagels are so delicious, are perfectly crisp and the ingredients are amazing. We got 3 different options and they are all AMAZING. 1. Salmon Lox 2. Tomato - the flaky salt and the olive oil is truly chef's kiss 3. Butter and Jam - highly recommend getting one of these so you have sweet and savory component.
Some of the best bagels I had! Smoked salmon is like ever other salmon lox but it has the right amount of freshness as well from the dill. 8/10 The tomato is surprisingly really good with sweeten tomatoes and oil. A really good combination that isn't too bland and tastes super refreshing. Our order came out really fast even when the line is long. Lots of tables and seating and NYC aesthetic.
The standout for me was the sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber. The bagel itself was crispy on the outside with chewy texture inside that makes a good bagel memorable. The cucumber added a crunch and balanced everything. The everything bagel with smoked salmon and plain cream cheese was decent. The bagel itself had great texture, but the heavy layer of cream cheese overpowered the smoked salmon. The ginger lemonade was refreshing. The ginger came through nicely without overpowering the drink. /// Bagel with Tomato $7.00 Sesame Bagel Scallion Cream Cheese $1.00 Cucumber $2.00 Bagel with Smoked Salmon $15.00 Everything Bagel Plain Cream Cheese Ginger Lemonade $5.00
I can confidently say this is my favorite bagel in the city. I love the flavor of their sourdough bagels. It really elevates the experience! I've tried everything, and they're all great. My favorite is the tomato bagel with scallion cream cheese. The tomato offers a nice refreshing bite, and when paired with the scallion cream cheese and everything bagel, you get three great flavors culminating together for the perfect bite. This is my favorite location since they have a bunch of indoor seating available and so much space inside, so the line isn't always forcing you to stand outside. Service is great as always and It is the most comfortable Apollo Bagels location with the same great food as every other one!
my first NY bagel and it was awesome!! their bagels are perfectly crisp imo and the lox with a scallion cream cheese was great. i will say it's on the pretty pricey end but it's a nice once in a while treat. probably the best bagel i've ever had if i'm being honest!! they have a good amount of seating and the store is pretty big tbh. they're right next to kijitora if you want to have matcha with your bagel. staff were also pretty friendly!! i'll have to come back if i'm ever in NY again :-)
After spending the afternoon shopping our way through Williamsburg, we found ourselves absolutely famished. We stumbled upon this place totally by accident and were so glad we did! Their tomato bagel was exactly what I needed! It was quick, easy, convenient and absolutely delicious!
I've been making my way down a bagels list for now, but it's definitely been a wonder I haven't had a chance to try Apollo yet! I went to their Greenpoint location and found it to be spacious. Their menu is pretty simplistic. They have the staple bagel and cream cheese options, nothing that stands out. So I got the everything bagel and their scallion cream cheese with salmon. I thought the bagel was decent and I liked the herby/minty taste. I do enjoy the presentation of the bagel, probably the best I've seen so far among bagel places I've tried!
I've tried to go to the Apollo bagel in West Village numerous times, but didn't feel like waiting in a long line. I walked past this location without knowing it was here and there was no wait! I understand the hype. The bagel was doughy and fluffy, and they warmed it up. There was the right amount of cream cheese. For the toppings, it felt like every component was prepared. The salmon was soft and tender. The dill didn't feel like it was picked right off the plant - it was soft and actually edible (you know how you usually pick the dill off bc it scratches your mouth?). Same with the capers. There was some sort of olive oil or lemon that they also put that enhanced the flavor. It all worked like a symphony in my mouth. The inside is spacious and offers lots of seating.
This is probably my favorite bagel in Brooklyn. While I'm not a New York native, I visit here often, and I'm always on the hunt for a great breakfast sandwich and coffee. As far as bagels go, Apollos are elite. They keep it simple and offer three different kinds: Plain, Everything and Sesame. My go-to is the everything bagel with tomatoes and cream cheese. The drizzle of olive oil they add to the top of it with the cracked pepper is so good. I also generally grab a cold brew on tap, and that is equally amazing and strong. They have a good amount of seating inside, but I only take my items to go. Their entire team is friendly, and even when it gets busy, they do an incredible job of placing orders and getting you in and out quickly. I definitely recommend this joint when you're on the hunt for a bagel in New York.
Ik it's literally a bagel with cream cheese and tomato but idk I love it so much and I think it's worth every buck and not making yourself. Theres always a line but it goes by super quick.
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!!
Lot of space inside to sit so good for big groups or taking a break while shopping! The sourdough does wonders for anyone with gluten allergies and post bagel bloats The tomato one was honestly my fave (over the smoked salmon) -- little overpriced for bagels but it's Williamsburg and p solid!! read more

The open faced tomato sandwich is to die for. I would recommend subbing the cream cheese with scallion cream cheese, and it's completely worth it. I ordered the sandwich on an everything bagel and I typically don't love raw tomatoes, but this one just melted into the cream cheese and the drizzle of olive oil and pepper was so delicious. It was really cool you could taste each individual ingredient and it all felt really high-quality. This was such an amazing flavor combo and after I ate this for breakfast, I also wanted to go back for lunch and order the same thing. read more

There are plenty of bagel shops near our hotel, but Apollo stood out to me. We stopped by late in the morning, and it wasn't crowded. I usually go for a salmon lox bagel when I'm in the mood for something hearty, but they had something I'd never tried before--a whitefish salad bagel. As someone from Texas, this was a novelty! The whitefish was fresh, creamy, topped beautifully with cucumber slices and plenty of dill. The bagel itself was perfect, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. We also shared a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese, which was rich and flavorful. This place is bigger than most bagel shops I've been to. If I'm back in the area again, I'll definitely return for their salmon lox! read more
exceeded my expectations! they did great with the toppings to bagel ratio. loved the sourdough bagels - they were a study vessel for the toppings and added the perfect tanginess! got the salmon and whitefish - both were delicious!! read more

In case you were wondering the opinion of a true bagel connoisseur of NJ/NY that is moi, Apollo Bagel really is that good. Every single time I go, the bagel is toasted to perfection and there is just the right amount of chickpea cream cheese on it. I simply can't get enough. My husband usually enjoys a plain bagel toasted with butter. Sometimes these niche places just get it right. Thank you! read more
Such a good bagel I immediately started dreaming of how I could re-create this at home. I got the veggie bagel which included cucumbers, tomato, capers, red onions, and dill on top of an everything bagel. The scallion cream cheese was incredible, but the hallmark of this bagel was really how fluffy the inside of the bagel was while also maintaining that nice crisp on the bottom. It didn't feel to done so you don't feel sluggish after eating it. read more

If you've been wanting to try Apollo bagels, this is a good location to go to because the service is quick, there is plenty of seating, and there were no long lines out the door like in some of the other locations. The bagels themselves are flat and chewy and a crispy exterior so I wouldn't necessarily come here to just pick up bagels themselves, but the sandwiches are excellent and the toughness of the bagel stands up to all the toppings. They distinguish themselves from other bagel shops by serving their bagel sandwiches open faced and in a tray. Sandwiches feel elevated, the tomato sandwich is served with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and it feels more like a sit down meal, rather than a to go sandwich. Prices are a little more expensive than a standard bagel shop, which makes sense given the product and presentation. Counter service, and you can take your bagel to any seat when it's ready, very casual atmosphere. read more

I got the bagel with smoked salmon + everything on it. It was delicious! I love the open-face bagel concept and I enjoyed the crispiness of the bagels. I also liked that the cream cheese wasn't overpowering and all the ingredients were pretty balanced. Would come again! I also appreciated that this location has indoor seating available. read more
This place is so good I had breakfast and lunch here. The lines get long but they move quick. In the morning I got the jam and butter on a sesame bagel 10/10. For lunch I got the tomato cream cheese and the lox. Everything was great. I'd go back here in a heartbeat. read more
This was my first time checking out this location for Apollo bagels. As always, it was absolutely delicious! The bagels weren't super dense, but slightly chewier than average on the outside (which is my preference). I generally get the lox bagel, which is always fresh and delicious. This time, we also tried the whitefish salad. My top choice continues to be the lox bagel, but we felt both were solid options. This location has a ton of seating which is nice because you don't have to take it to go (or you can always bring your order to a nearby park and eat outside if the weather is nice). Most of the seating was taken, but people were frequently moving in and out of the shop. When we showed up, we unexpectedly found that Pink Pantheress had made an appearance at the shop. Because of this, the line to get in was unusually long. However, the line moved faster than the Manhattan locations I've been to! read more

A long line of eager people poured out of Apollo on a Sunday morning. It was moving and worth the wait. There's tons of indoor seating, however, the space was very full so keep that in mind. We got our food to go. I got a classic- everything bagel with scallion cream cheese with tomato and it came with a nice olive drizzle as well. The bagel had a great crunch covered with everything bagel seasoning. I really liked how fresh the tomato and bright the olive oil was on the bagel. I also got the cold brew- it came on tap and it was very good! Great flavor/body in the coffee. Overall a great place for a classic bagel, no crazy bells and whistles, just a great bagel! If you're feeling adventurous, you can add white fish too. read more

I got all the specialty bagels with my family to try them all. I still love the tomato one the best - it's just simple and well done. Plus the texture of the sourdough makes the bagels nice and crunchy. read more
Walking around Williamsburg, we found this bagel shop. Figured we'd go in and see what all the hype was about as it was packed. Great service great selection . By far one of the best bagels we've ever had. Lightly toasted with a bit of butter. It had everything seasoning all over it. It was just absolutely perfect. Would highly recommend ! seems to be bagels with salmon and lox was a big winner that day as most people sitting at the tables had that. Def going back read more
Bagel was delicious! They have vegan cream cheese and I added the veggies they have on the menu (charged separately). Service was quick in a Monday before lunch. Space is clean with a large communal table and some 2 tops. On the pricier side. read more

Life was different before trying Apollo. It was simple. Before Apollo, it was easy to willingly just eat any bagel without thinking too much about it. We've all run the gamut of thinking wow Pop-up bagel is a really cool concept or Thompson Square Bagel makes a really great sandwich. You know what Apollo has to say about those places? F*** YOUR CONCEPT. AND TAKE THOSE SORRY A** SANDWICHES BACK TO THE PARK BENCH YOU WERE MUNCHING THEM ON. This is not about oh well Apollo doesn't do this or they don't do that. Who cares? They don't! They know you are going to sit in the hotel room cuck chair while your girlfriend waits in a 30+ minute line for her bull of an open faced bagel. Apollo simply changes the game. It's the same concept as Italian cuisine: high quality ingredients, assembled with some modicum of competence. I completely respect that they have completely disregarded egg loves and the instgramable cheese pulls. You can't hide anything on an open faced sandwich, you get what you get what's in front of you. I hate hype. I hate trying to make something look better than it is. At the end of the day, you can't hide. Apollo has nothing to hide and they embrace that. They bake their bagels all day to ensure freshness and a well rounded experience for customers throughout the day. They are reasonably priced (I paid $17 for two sandwiches). They are focused with a limited menu to get rid of any complexity or fluff. I love the institutional ideal of a bodega, but Apollo is doing everything your corner store is not. read more

Food phenomenal, service bit slow, and good amount of seating! We got the lox bagel on everything bagel and it was DELICIOUS! It looks like such a simple sandwich, but is packed with contrasting flavors that complement each other. On top of that, the lox is good as well as the sourdough bagel. 10/10 bagel, one of my favs in the city. This location in Brooklyn is very spacious and has good amount of seating, which is nicer than the Manhattan location so that was also a bonus :) 1 gender neutral bathroom in the establishment too. read more

Ordered the salmon and tomato bagel and it was pretty good. The salmon bagel tasted citrusy which was coming from the capers and had a unique freshness with each bite. The tomato bagel was simple but one of my favorite bites. Would definitely come back :) read more

Absolutely fantastic bagels--light, airy, and perfectly chewy with every bite. I had the Smoked Salmon on a Sesame bagel, and it was delicious. The olive oil added a tangy, lemon-zest kick that elevated the flavors beautifully. My girlfriend got the butter and jam and loved hers just as much. Quick, friendly service and a great spot overall with plenty of seating. Definitely coming back for more! read more
my favorite bagel place in the city! heard they opened a new location in Williamsburg, so I had to come check it out and it was just as amazing :) this location has a good amount of seating so if you're looking for a location to sit at inside, this is the one. the service is quick and everyone was very nice. got my favorites - salmon bagel on an everything bagel and scallion cc on everything with tomato and dill read more

You know you're good when your bagel stands out in NYC! I love that their bagel sandwiches are open faced and easy to eat. I have tried the lox bagel with regular and scallion cream cheese, and both versions are great. Bagels are flavorful and crispy, toppings are plentiful and fresh and spread is good. They have a smaller menu compared to other bagel shops, but wow do they do bagels right. Highly recommend and go during the weekdays, not much of a line. 5/5 read more

Not a bagel person but was interested when I walked by this morning after hearing about their new place. My sesame bagel was crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and the scallion cream cheese was fresh. The tomatoes were also fresh and drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. The service was fast and efficient. The store was bright, clean and ample seating. Will certainly be back! read more

Welp! For a $16 dollar bagel, I would have preferred more lox instead of cream cheese. A clean table and seat to sit down. A cashier that didn't have his phone and using while I ordered! And an employee not to be smoking a cigarette AT THE FRONT door! It was yummy, but damn. Am I asking too much.... The service I got when my name was called to get my order, I wish was consistent! She looked in my eyes, provided me napkins, smiled and wished me a great day! 11:15 ish pm on a Tuesday! read more

Best in the biz, now with 3 locations and more coming soon. This is the biggest and best one yet, as there is plenty of seating. Same exact menu as the others, so you can't go wrong getting any of the open-faced sandwiches, or just a hot Everything Bagel on its own. read more

First time trying the legendary Apollo Bagels! Long line on a saturday noon (shoutout to whoever let us skip the line and have us VIP treatment...you've won over a customer for life). 10/10 service and lots of room to sit. Had the everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato. WORTH THE HYPE. I love my bagels with a slight crunch upon first bite, and then chewy on inside. This was exactly that. Tomato was fresh w perfect amount of salt. Orange juice is $$ but freshly squeezed and paired perfectly w the bagel. I would def return :) read more

Apollo Bagels where do I start. The positive - the bagels are great love them. The negative- BUT plain not with toppings. You guys are robbing customers with the measly topping portion you are putting! Ordered the cream cheese and tomato had a smidge of cream cheese that was already melting into the warm bagel and a plethora of pepper dusted on top. For $7 it was disappointing. BUT my biggest issue was the whitefish topping on the 2nd bagel. Now that was highway robbery! The lightest thinest amount of whitefish, with an abundance of cucumbers. For $15 heck no that was disrespectful. The problem is customers are accepting this and paying that amount like its ok. Apollo get the portions right it should reflect what we are being charged. Again bagels great the toppings are laughable. read more
