Review #350 of Apollo Bagels on Taste 😁
i vowed never to return to this place after my bagel was burned to a crisp the first time I came. but I was in the area today and decided to give it a second shot.
Thankfully the bagel was NOT burned this time, so we were already off to a good start. The toppings on the smoked salmon bagel are tastefully chosen - the dill and lemon juice are a really nice touch, and I'm surprised other places haven't copied this yet.
as for the bagel itself (the most important part), Apollo is known for having a pretty unique sourdough bagel. I realized as I was eating it that it really does just taste like a open face sandwich on sourdough bread, except that the bread has been molded into something bagel shaped. Not that there's anything wrong with that - it was definitely delicious - but I'm not really sure what the bagelness is adding here.
I like this place, but I think I'm just too much of a bagel purist to consider it one of my favorites.
