Apollo Bagels

The Best Dishes Eater San Diego Ate in November | Eater San Diego

"Launched earlier this year as a pop-up with brick-and-mortar goals and powered by baking veterans Cheryl Storms and Matt Cardwell (both formerly of Wayfarer Bread & Pastry), this operation offers pre-order pickups at LuckyBolt Bakery in Sorrento Valley and weekend pop-ups at Ironsmith Coffee and Echale Wine Bar & Kitchen in Encinitas. The bagels are based on naturally fermented sourdough and come in flavors such as marble rye and za’atar, plus an innovative take on an everything bagel that subs in nutty nigella seeds for onion and garlic bits that often burn in the oven. They’re offered with cream cheese and housemade crème fraîche schmears, including a dill-shallot version with smoked local halibut, and the bialy is a savory standout topped with roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and bacon." - Candice Woo
