"Estimated Wait: 1+ hours on weekends The Payoff: A crusty, crunchy bagel, topped with lox or whitefish "The Apollo Bagels line is hard for me to swallow, especially at the East Village location. They make great bagels, there's no denying it, but three of my other favorite bagel shops are walking distance (David's, Ess-a-Bagel, Tompkins Square Bagels). The line moves slowly, so you need to grab a coffee and maybe a small bite before you even get there. I'll just never understand pregaming your breakfast with breakfast." - bryan kim, team infatuation, will hartman, bryan kim, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nick allen, sylvio martins, cathy park, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, candis mclean, aimee rizzo
"A well-known bagel spot in the area that routinely sees extended waits, emblematic of the neighborhood’s propensity for queuing for standout classic comfort foods." - David Farley
"A growing bagel shop expanding with another outpost in the Financial District as part of a wider expansion across multiple Manhattan neighborhoods; retains the same bagel-shop format and menu expectations." - Nadia Chaudhury
"10th Street hasn’t been the same since Apollo Bagels arrived in 2024. If you show up on a weekend after 10am, the athleisure-clad crowd can mean a wait of 45 minutes for a bagel. The line at their West Village location is worse. Go during the week, or to their Williamsburg location—or honestly, to any other great bagel shop." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"A new-school bagel shop offering classic sliced-bagel options, with a focus on customer-friendly service." - Nadia Chaudhury
