Bagels & Spreads
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.
