Apollo Bagels is a hand-rolled, hand-boiled bagel shop whose original West Village location on Greenwich Ave helped launch the brand into a small but growing NYC mini-chain; it's known for its bagel craft and has drawn enough demand to spawn additional locations around the city.
It's a walk-up counter with no reservation system, so getting a bagel means queuing in person. Reviewers describe the wait as highly time-dependent: weekend mornings after 10am reportedly bring waits around 45 minutes, while weekday mornings — especially before 9am — tend to move much faster, often under 10 minutes.

No — it's a walk-up bagel counter, not a reservation-based restaurant, so you queue in person.
Reported hours are 7:00am to 5:00pm daily, but it's worth confirming day-of since small bagel shops can sell out or adjust hours.
Reviewers suggest weekday mornings before 9am for the shortest wait; the line reportedly builds by 8am and peaks around 9-10am, with weekend late mornings being the busiest window.
Hand-rolled, hand-boiled bagels — the West Village shop on Greenwich Ave is the brand's original location, and its popularity has since led to additional NYC locations.
