Apollo Bagels

Apollo Bagels has quickly earned a cult following in New York for reimagining the city’s most iconic breakfast staple. Launched during the pandemic as a pop-up, it became known for its wood-fired, small-batch bagels — crisp on the outside, tender inside, with a depth of flavor that comes from long fermentation.

The menu ranges from classics like lox and cream cheese to smoked whitefish, seasonal vegetable toppings, and a variety of house-made schmears.
