There's no NY without a bagel. Apollo Bagels are slightly different than many other places, because they are sourdough bagels. The consistency of a sourdough bagel is slightly different than others you'll find in NY- a little thinner with a slight sour. The menu here is simple with just a few choices to choose from. A friend and I shared the bagel with lox and it was great! This location has so much space in the dining area that there's plenty of places to sit and enjoy. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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! 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. 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! read more

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. read more

there's no line out the door and i figured it was finally time to give this spot a try. the line inside moves pretty quickly. i ordered the sesame bagel with smoked salmon and got it just a few minutes later. they are efficient for sure. i lucked out and found a table quickly. the bagel had great texture (crispy on the outside and fluffy/with slight chew on the inside) and there was a generous amount of smoked salmon and other toppings. i liked it! the only downside during my visit was unruly children that were running around freely and running into the customers coming into the store. not the restaurant's fault, and hopefully, a one-off situation. read more

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. read more

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.

OH YES!! the bagels are freshly baked & the orange juice is freshly squeezed. Couldn't get any better than that. The lines get LONG, looks like their lox is a very popular choice. But original is always the best! It is pretty loud inside, a lot of conversations happening lol. So if this isn't your vibe, grab the bagel and sit at the park with beautiful views. I will definitely definitely visit again!!! 10/10000 read more

Let's call it an incomplete rating, as plain, sesame and everything were the only options but the everything was sold out. I don't normally get my bagels at industrial chic spaces but it was nice to get out of the rain, and the scallion cream cheese put in the extra work to compensate for the non-everything situation. I wasn't feeling ambitious on this post-Smorgasburg stop but it seems the marquee item is the Insta-friendly smoked salmon with dill. read more

Service was quick, though the waiting area can get pretty crowded with folks waiting for their orders. The menu is pretty simple, not full of 20 different cream cheeses and doesn't have 10 different types of bagels. The juices are great, I will give them that. The fresh squeezed OJ and the Ginger lemonade were my favorite as I'm not a coffee drinker. Are the bagels good? Yes they are, but also I think they're a bit over hyped. The crispy outer with the fluffy inner is nice, but you have to have them there as they are as enjoyable when they're cold. Overall, I think it's just the currently trendy bagel spot. It's not that hard to find a decent bagel in NYC. read more

Bagel shop -- stopped in around 11 AM on a Thursday morning. It was moderately busy, with most of the tables filled and a steady flow of people coming in to order or pick up their food. The smell when you first walk through the door is incredible -- that fresh-baked bread aroma that instantly makes you hungry. The menu is simple and focused: only three bagel options (plain, sesame, and everything). Honestly, I think that's a good sign -- when a place specializes this much, you know they're aiming to do it right. I went with an everything bagel with cream cheese, and my friend got the smoked salmon on an everything bagel. Both were excellent. The bagels themselves had that perfect sourdough chew, with a crisp outside and soft inside. I'm a huge sourdough fan, so the fact that these are sourdough bagels already had me sold. The cream cheese was fresh and plentiful, and the smoked salmon was high quality, well-portioned, and balanced perfectly with the bagel. I'd absolutely come back here again and plan to make it a regular stop whenever I'm in New York. It feels like the kind of place that will always hit the spot. read more

Everything bagel w/ *vegan* cream cheese & tomato - I wanted to try the vegan cream cheese on this one because I was curious. And it was good! It had the flavor and texture of cream cheese, just a little different, slight yogurty flavor. It was fun to try but there's a $1 upcharge so I think I would stick with normal cream cheese next time. Tomato slices were fresh and flavorful. Everything bagel was the perfect texture and flavors. Everything bagel w/ smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion, dill - This is the one to get! The combination of its parts made for the perfect harmony of flavors. All of the ingredients were extremely fresh. Capers provided some nice acidity to contrast the smoked salmon. Red onion for the extra texture and freshness. The very generous amount of dill really gave the entire bagel a nice pop of fresh dill flavor. Everything bagel was again perfect. Perfectly toasted. I would come here again for this. The space was very airy and spacious on a weekday morning. read more

I find that most NYC bagels aren't that different from storebought bagels, but these bagels definitely are! They have a spongier and chewier texture, while still being crispy on the outside. The bagel with cream cheese and tomato came with the perfect amount of oil and seasoning on top too. The line here was long, but moved very fast, so it's a good spot for a quick bite. read more

Took one of their everything bagels to go- nothing on it. And went home to dress it up and they were good but nothing to write home about. I went Christmas Eve so no line. The sandwich prices are super expensive and even an everything bagel with nothing was $3ish i believe. The seating is no frills just basics tables and there's a lot of room. Don't taste much different that they are sourdough but i did get the everything bagel, so maybe that's why. read more

I was skeptical when my friend hyped up the tomato bagel from Apollo Bagels saying it was one of her favorites in Brooklyn. How good could it be? I had to know! I stopped by before work on Wednesday since it was close to the L. Fortunately, there were only a couple people in line and I waited less than 10 minutes for my bagel. BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE AND TOMATO - 7 I got this with a sesame bagel and light cream cheese. I couldn't eat it immediately after I got it, and my first bite was actually 30 minutes later. But wow, it was so delicious... yet so simple? It's literally just a sesame bagel (toasted), light layer of plain cream cheese), two tomato slices, and some seasoning. The tomatoes were sweet and very high-quality, which went well with the seasoning they used. The bagel wasn't too thick, but it was still very filling and got me through the entire morning and partially in the afternoon. The tomato bagel was a solid bagel choice and definitely a top 2 out of the recent ones I've had in the past year. It's a simple bagel with flavors that really wowed me. read more

The first time I tried apollo bagels was at the east village location, and I didn't understand the hype. It was during the winter time and there wasn't any seating inside. My bagels got cold after a few pictures (that's on me) and it just wasn't that great. The second time was at this location, and it was definitely a lot better. The numerous locations that popped up all over NYC made these bagels more easily available, which means minimal wait time. This location also has an ample amount of seating. We got the white fish salad on an every thing bagel and it was delicious! The flavors from white fish, cucumber and dill = perfection. Time is of the essence when it comes to these!

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

The line was nearly out the door when we got there. But it went quickly. Their menu is small: three types of bagels (plain, sesame, everything), your choice of butter, cream cheese, lox, or tomato, and that's it - simple, delicious bagels. Very nice crust, but I prefer a less airy, more dense bagel. They have plenty of seating but it's not the type of place to get comfortable. Understandable since they are so busy. 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

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

I found the bagel to just be OK as I have had better elsewhere in the City. Overall, I'd happily return when I'm in the area for another breakfast sandwich. Good food & friendly service made for a very enjoyable start to the day.

Lots of lox to choose from

Russ & Daughters

If you are in the neighborhood, you should pop in and buy something to show your respect. What you should buy is the herring. And specifically, if you happen to be lucky enough to stroll in during Holland Herring season in June/July, that is the herring to get. Even if you just had a giant meat based meal a couple doors down, you can still make room for one herring. Consider it the Jewish equivalent of surf and turf. Although one of my friends said visiting both LES icons was more akin to a "bang bang". Sometimes it's the small shops that make the biggest mark. This is certainly the case with R&D. The place is tiny, but the fish is mighty. I can't speak highly enough about the Holland Herring. So silky. So delicate. So much fun to eat. Held up by the tail, dragged through a mix of chopped onions and pickles, and lowered down into your awaiting mouth. These things are large. They are going to take a few good sized bites. Enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors. Tilting your head back to eat it almost demands that you close your eyes and savor every moment. Yes, the entire herring case is a marvel. While most folks will walk out of R&D with nova (what most people call lox, but is really cold smoked salmon), the real score is the sable and sturgeon. Or, if you are a salt lover, you can get legitimate belly lox here too. It satisfies the soul to see an appetizing store holding the line. Sure, you can put your smoked fish on a bagel or bialy with cream cheese. However, I submit that fish this good should really be enjoyed in its purest form. Maybe if you want to cut the salt, lay some on a thin piece of old world 100% rye bread. Not the squishy deli stuff, but the hard eastern European kind. Perhaps a dolop of sour cream. A few chives if feeling fancy. My old cantor used to love creamed herring with pickled onions on chunks of challah. If you go the herring route and it's not Holland Herring season, I fully endorse this approach. But don't sleep on the Holland Herring. Get one. Eat it on the bench outside or bring it across the street and eat it standing up in the park. I heard rumor that once upon a time folks would eat them right at the counter. That seems a little messy for my taste, but far be it from me to keep a herring lover from their delightful fishy morsels.

They clearly prioritize hygiene here. The interior is so spotless that it is pitiful!…read more On 6/20/26, I purchased food that I cannot get anywhere else: smoked trout mousse (relatively low in sodium), authentic pumpernickel bread (recommended for its comparatively low glycemic index), and in-house smoked Gaspe smoked salmon (relatively low in sodium). Everything tasted phenomenally good. Miguel had given me samples of some food so I could make a decision about what to purchase. This place is not the cheapest, but you're paying for top quality. You can't go wrong here. My customer experience was exceptional.

I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.

The bagel was soft yet crispy on the outside and the combination of flavors from the red onion, capers, cream cheese and tomato was just right. The space is roomy enough with several tables to dine-in and it is also kept clean, which is optimal. Look forward to visiting again to try a different menu item, perhaps during lunch.

Radio Bakery

The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

Be sure to make a reservation, as this spot is popular, especially on a nice weekend. We recently had a weekend brunch at one of the tables outside. Everything on the menu sounded good, but we decided on a couple of their specials. Started with the razor clams, which were cooked perfectly and topped with fresh herbs. We also had the fried soft shell crab sandwich with the side of Caesar salad. The sandwich was well balanced with the crunchy crab and herby aioli. The Caesar was light and refreshing. The fish and chips came with two fried filets of white fish and a basket of classic fries. The fish was lightly battered and flakey. The house made tartar sauce was a good complement to it. One of my top meals this year so far! Perfect summer meal!

Going to Greenpoint Fish and Lobster on a weekend is truly a mission. If you don't have a reservation chances are you'll be waiting around for a long time. They estimated 30min wait and it turned out to be over an hour. We were ready to walk away 3 times but ended up sticking around as we were promised we were third on the list meanwhile more than 3 parties were seated before us (strange!). Once we were seated, we ordered right away having had time to look at the menu while waiting. Crudo, dozen of oysters, clam chowder + lobster roll. - Crudo was a bit sad with 6 pieces of fish lying on a big plate with an insane amount of salt flakes. It was fresh but don't think it's worth ordering. - East coast oysters were puny. Very mid especially because I've recently tried some at Upstate that were amazing. They're incomparable. - Lobster roll. Okay should've just gone straight for the roll because it was perfect. Buttery and fresh with perfect balance of lobster roll bread. The salad dressing also was delicious. So good! Definitely highlight of this restaurant. - Clam chowder. Also 10/10. Hearty, flavorful. Loved every bite of it. Service was average. They weren't profoundly interested in giving best service instead just chatting amongst each other and dropping off plates. Also they forgot about the clam chowder we ordered and asked if we still want it.. YES..that's why we ordered it. Overall if you don't pay attention to those details it's worth coming for some great seafood. BUT I highly recommend getting a reservation.
