Bagels

  • Best Bagels Winner

    Apollo Bagels keeps the menu focused and lets the bagel do the heavy lifting. The company describes its approach as new-school bagels made with old-school technique: naturally fermented, boiled and baked fresh each morning. The core lineup is refreshingly tight, with only three kinds of bagels — plain, everything, and sesame — and a short list of condiments that includes butter, cream cheese, and scallion cream cheese. Keeping things simple allows the pitch-perfect bagel to really shine. And if you’re still feeling hungry, dig into one of their sandwiches. Options include a bagel with butter and jam, a bagel with cream cheese and tomato, and a bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onion, and dill.
