Apollo Bagels
8.6
A newer East Village counter spot doing sourdough-leaning, oven-hot bagels with a shattery crust and pronounced chew. The menu is tight, focused on fish-forward sandwiches and top-tier cream cheeses. Lines can be real, but the bagels deliver on texture and flavor.

Smoked salmon bagel with dill and capers, Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, Whitefish salad bagel
