Fresh-Baked Bagels in Surfside Beach
Benjamin's started as a bagel shop in 1994, and three decades later, bagels are still what we're known for on the Grand Strand. Every bagel is made from scratch in our Surfside Beach bakery the traditional New York way, with a chewy interior and a crisp, blistered crust. Choose from more than a dozen daily varieties, including everything, sesame, asiago, jalapeño cheddar, cinnamon raisin, cinnamon sugar, sunflower nine-grain, and our famous bialy. Pair any bagel with one of our homemade cream cheese spreads, butter, jam, or peanut butter. Available daily from 7 AM until we sell out.

Everything Bagel
Sesame, poppy, garlic, onion, and salt the one that started it all. Baked fresh every morning.

Asiago Bagel
Loaded with melted asiago cheese and baked to a golden crust. Rich, savory, and worth the trip.
Jalapeño Cheddar Bagel
A little heat, a lot of flavor. Great toasted with plain or veggie cream cheese.
Cinnamon Raisin Bagel
Sweet, soft, and packed with raisins. Best paired with honey raisin walnut cream cheese.
Cinnamon Sugar Bagel
A breakfast-forward bagel with warm spiced sweetness. A morning staple.
