Opening hours: Friday-Sunday, 8 a.m. until sold out.
Joey Scalabrino and his business partner Mike Fadem started making and selling bagels from their Williamsburg pizzeria, Leo, in 2020... before launching Apollo Bagels as a pop-up at Fanelli's in 2022.
Previously, per Grub Street's Chris Crowley:
The bagels are crispy and chewy on the outside, baked to a shade of deep brown, with little blackened patches. And, as one recent fan put it, they've got "a good fluff-to-crunch ration." Made of sourdough, they're less dense than they look, bubbly on the outside with an airy interior.The 800-square-foot storefront is divided by a long counter for ordering. Seating is outside only, and the menu will remain tight: Sandwiches included smoked salmon with capers, red onion, and dill; whitefish salad; and a summertime tomato with olive oil. (Bagels will also be sold by the half-dozen and dozen, straight from the oven, with the standard spreads like cream cheese available.)
No. 242 was most recently home to Pink's Cantina.

Excited for this spot. TSB is good but overcrowded and overpriced. I was making the trek to Brooklyn Bagel before, but hopefully apollo becomes a go-to.
Agreed with above - TSB and BK Bagel are the two best options right now in the neighborhood but both can be inconsistent. Looking forward to Apollo opening & trying them out.
Stopped by today around 2 PM. They were "sold out" but they will be fully stocked tomorrow.
I stopped by this morning
Plain sesame everything on the menu so I bought some of each. They had great flavor., chewy and full of nooks. Sorry I couldn’t post a photo here!
So many bagel, coffee, laundromats, smoke shops mediocre restaurants but where do you buy a spool of black thread on the LES?
