Apollo Bagels
4.5 (1,122)bakery
This East Village spot serves naturally fermented, open-faced bagels boiled fresh daily and finished with curated toppings.
Description



The shop keeps choices straightforward with an intentionally minimal menu of only six curated options. Among these, the fresh smoked salmon bagel—layered with cream cheese, capers, red onion, and dill—is a popular standout alongside a tomato version. The bagels themselves rely on old-school boiling to achieve their celebrated perfect chew. Visitors should expect a line, though it typically moves efficiently.
