The Bagel w. Salmon lives up to the HYPE! I've heard so many things about this bagel spot & I always see lines here. But I never found myself trying it until now! Just to preface, there are always lines here. Sometimes it's shorter than others. Of course on the weekends, it might be even longer. But it goes pretty fast. As for the bagel itself, I personally got to try the sesame bagel with salmon. For one order, they give you 2 halves. So it's definitely shareable with one other person. The salmon is really good - not salty at all (unlike some lox that I've tried before) & super soft to bite into. The dill/capers/onion really does compliment the overall flavor really well. I've had way worser & super salty lox for similar or even higher prices so I def think this is worth the cost & trying when you are craving lox. read more

Apollo Bagels - tomato bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

No seating inside, but there's a park right across the street where people seem to take their bagels. I waited around 10 minutes, which wasn't bad considering how popular it seemed to be. Definitely a good quality bagel with an interesting texture that reminded me a little of sourdough. I got the sesame and really enjoyed the subtle hint of rosemary flavor. For me, it was a little too toasted in certain parts where it almost had a crouton-like crunch, but that's more of a personal preference. It definitely has a trendy feel, and I can see why people enjoy coming here. I wouldn't say it's one of the top bagels I've ever had, though. There are definitely better places to get a bagel, but this was still a good bagel overall. read more

The last day of our trip we were able to head to Apollo bagels. The line on Tuesday at 8am was non existent. We got the bagels and headed to the park to eat them and they were so so so so good! The coffee was meh. The girls at the shop were very nice and would highly recommend this famous place! read more

Came to try this viral sensation and it did not disappoint. We got the white fish salad and the smoked salmon. My favorite was the whitefish salad. The fresh cucumbers with the dill was delicious. The flavors really came through. The smoked salmon was missing something, just can't put my finger on it. I would come back in the future. The line although long, moved quickly. read more

Love at first bite!! Literally the best bite of the trip that I went back a second time. My everything bagel was perfectly crispy and fluffy at the same time. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes but opted to try it since it looked like a popular order and it was very refreshing. I loved my scallion cream cheese and everything bagel combo though. There is a line but it moves fast, they are very quick and friendly!! read more

I wasn't impressed one bit. The outside was burnt the inside super chewy. Took forever and nobody there. Zero character. I read all the hype and was excited to try it, wish I didn't.

Crisply on the outside and chewy on the inside. Just the way a bagel should be. Sesame bagel with cream cheese to eat at the Starbucks across the street while I was getting work done on my computer there. Ran me $5 which was ok as the bagel was delish and they didn't skimp on the cream cheese. No seating here so it's basically order to go. read more

Apollo Bagels is the bagel chain I keep revisiting every time I'm in NYC. Before work, I stopped by the West Village location to grab a quick breakfast. Fortunately, there was essentially no line, and my order was ready within 10 minutes. BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE AND TOMATO - 7 +1 for scallion cream cheese I got this with a sesame bagel and light scallion cream cheese. It's a simple combination, yet still delicious. Summer tomatoes are truly so sweet and juicy. I just wish there was more of the seasoning, as the flavors were a little overpowered by the scallion cream cheese, which is pretty pungent. Next time, I'll just keep it simple and get it with the regular cream cheese. I love that there was an Apollo Bagels near my workplace. It definitely helped me power through that Monday morning. read more

As someone who's often not impressed by these "viral" food spots, I definitely have to say that Apollo Bagels is worth the hype. I've come for the tomato w/cream cheese bagel twice. Once with everything and once with sesame. Both were good. I love a crisp bagel and this is perfect. Iced coffee is also solid. I need to try the fish options next time. Will absolutely be back! read more

I'm not a bagel person but I decided to check this place out since they have sourdough bagels which sounded interesting. The line looked long but actually moved really fast and I received my order in 5 minutes actually. The staff were really nice. I ordered an everything bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion, and dill. The bagel itself was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside so it doesn't taste as dense as other bagels. The toppings were fresh and good proportions all around. I would definitely come back! I want to try the whitefish salad next time. read more

First time trying Apollo Bagels and it was a 10/10 experience. One of my favorite bagel spots that I tried in New York! I ordered the smoked salmon bagel and absolutely loved it.

Was visiting NYC for a quick weekend trip and had to give Apollo Bagels a try after seeing it online. Came by during lunchtime where there was a steady stream of people. Got the tomato and cream cheese everything bagel, and a sesame bagel with the scallion cream cheese. This spot is a bit small and definitely a grab-and-go with no seating, though if the weather cooperates it is right across a park. The bagels were huge and nicely chewy, and freshly made. For what it is, the bagels are a bit pricy but a nice treat. read more

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. Now, the line can be really long, but it moves extremely fast. They have their systems down, which is so nice, Unfortunately, there is no seating inside, so you have to find a nearby area to post up, but it is definitely worth it for the delicious bagels! read more

Apollo Bagels - Tomato bagel. - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I'd heard so much hype about Apollo Bagels that I finally had to swing by for a quick bite. I ordered the smoked salmon bagel with cream cheese and dill. Everything is made completely fresh to order, and you can even customize your bagel base (plain, sesame, etc.), making it super easy for vegetarians or pescatarians to get exactly what they want. The salmon was insanely fresh with just the right amount of smoky flavor, and the bagel itself had that crisp-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside texture. Since this Greenwich Ave location is strictly grab-and-go, we took our bagels right across the street to eat in the park. The bagel looks a bit "small" at first glance, but it is surprisingly dense, incredibly filling, and kept me powered up for hours! read more

Apollo Bagels - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Apollo's Bagels is my new favorite bagel in New York City. I came twice while visiting NY and it did not disappoint! There is always a line but it moves pretty fast. There isn't a place to sit at this location. My favorite is the Tomato Bagel. It is simple, and flavorful. The bagel is soft and perfectly toasted. The tomato is drizzled with olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. It is the perfect bite every time. I had it both times with a sesame bagel. We also tried a regular bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was soft and perfectly toasted. We had the sesame bagel with butter and jam. The bagel was soft and the jam was sweet. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it would be perfect to split with someone else and maybe have a savory and sweet bagel. Last but definitely not least, do not sleep on the orange juice here. They freshly make it and it is so sweet! It is so refreshing and delicious. It complements the bagels very well. Overall Apollo's bagels did not disappoint! read more

I popped in here on a whim a couple of Saturdays ago with a friend of mine, as I was in the mood for a bagel. The line wasn't super long and I appreciated how simple the menu was. I got the cream cheese with tomato on an everything bagel, and it was very good. The bagel was deliciously crunchy and airy and I really enjoyed the cream cheese. The tomato was really ripe, but I realized I could have done without it. The space itself is pretty small, with no seating, but you can stand around and eat your bagel (as I did) since the weather was cold outside. I'd definitely come here again and try a different bagel next time. read more

Having heard a lot about Apollo Bagels, I had always wanted to try their bagels. I ordered the everything bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, dill, and red onions.

The hype is real with Apollo! If you're looking for a bagel that offers the perfect crunch on the outside and is soft on the inside -- come to Apollo! We got the tomato bagel on an everything with the scallion cream cheese. The scallion cream cheese was a GENEROUS smear and tasted so fresh. The bagel was hands down the best bagel I've had. The tomato was perfectly ripe and added another layer of freshness. We also went to their other location by Penn Station and their freshly squeezed OJ is to die for. Our bagel came out super quick despite how busy they were which was a pleasant surprise. 10/10 will be back! read more

Finally tried Apollo bagels after all of the hype! Went on a weekend afternoon so the line was quite long but honestly it went by pretty fast for the amount of people that were there. It felt very crowded inside though. I liked how the menu was not too complicated so it was easy to choose. I decided to go with the tomato scallion cream cheese bagel. It was for a pretty good price as well! The bagel WAS good and light, but not as fluffy as I expected. Probably because it was sourdough? However the overall meal did not blow my mind or anything. I wish that it had more honey on it or some other condiments. But I would come back! read more

Apollo Bagels - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

We heard about Apollo Bagels for so long before actually deciding to give them a try. The first time we went, we got the salmon bagel, and it ended up being good but nothing too special. Upon further reviews from our friends, we decided to go back and try the tomato bagel, which we thought was more unique and quite good. The tomato provides a light juice to the bagel, and in my eyes it's kinda like eating steak with some salt - the salt just adds an extra light touch that you wouldn't really expect. Either way though, I think it's a good bagel but nothing insanely crazy. We've never gone to the East Village location but the lines there are super long. West Village is more manageable, but still expect to wait 20-30 minutes for it. Since there's no seating room either, I don't know if it'd be my go to bagel spot always, but it's a nice thing to have once in a while. read more

Probably should have lowered my expectations about the tomato bagel given that peak tomato season is over... Maybe I just got an especially unripe tomato but I was foolishly expecting a summer heirloom tomato. The bagel itself was good, but for fall / winter next time I should just get a different kind instead and save the tomato for the warmer months! Bagel was good! Though I think you can get as good bagels elsewhere too. 3.5 stars. read more

I kept hearing about Apollo Bagels and all the hype surrounding it, so I had to check it out while in New York and honestly, it did not disappoint. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the best bagel I've ever had. I ordered a classic cream cheese and tomato and wow. The bagel itself was perfectly chewy on the inside with that ideal crisp on the outside, just the way a New York bagel should be. The cream cheese was super fresh and smooth, and the tomato added the perfect touch. Simple but done right. The line was a little long when I got there, but it moved quickly and was absolutely worth the wait. You can tell they care about the quality everything feels freshly made and thoughtfully prepared. The staff was friendly too, which always adds to the experience. If you're in the city and love bagels, this place is a must-try. Believe the hype Apollo Bagels lives up to it. read more

Such a fan of NY bagels - this was my first time trying Apollo Bagels and the texture and taste were quite good! I ordered the everything bagel sandwich without capers and subbed the scallion cream cheese in for the regular cream cheese ($1 extra). If you're not a huge fan of dill, I'd also recommend removing that. Overall, it's definitely a pricier sandwich option, however they are quite generous with the amount of smoked salmon which I appreciated. read more

Quite literally the best bagel ever made! Came here first thing in the morning before doing some light exploration of the west village neighborhood. Ordered the everything bagel with smoked salmon and scallion cream cheese. This was one of the best bites I had during my NYC trip. Loved how perfectly crispy the outside was and light and chewy on the inside. The bagel itself is so flavorful with that tangy sourdough taste. We also ordered everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato. Also very solid. Pro tip: take it to the park across the street to eat for an even more enjoyable experience This will easily be a must visit every time I'm in nyc! read more

Officially my fave bagel joint in the city. The NYC bagel scene is intense. After trying Pop Up, Leon's, and Apollo I can easily say Apollo Bagels is the best. Each bagel spot is unique in its own right but what sets Apollo Bagels apart is the bagel itself. The perfect crisp, texture, chew, yet a pillowy doughy interior. The sourdough technique they use is unmatched. All other bagels I have found to be too tough or chewy. Their aesthetic is also on point. The tomato or lox toppings are just next level with the perfect touch of olive oil and salt. This is the kind of spot locals will gladly wait for and despite a line it will move FAST. read more
