Freshly made breakfast and bagels with some fantastic coffee. Service was speedy and personable! They even sell different types of baked goods such as cookies, whoopee pies and even bread! Will definitely be eating here again.

Update. I have auto 1 rating for any establishment that charges over 3% credit card fee. I don’t believe The banks fee is over 3% so they are taking advantage of this. Horrible. The slowness of service makes this a tough destination. For SS Beach, it’s great, compared to NY bagels it’s avg but hard to recreate NY bagels in SC. Still recommend and would give 4 if they fix the pace issue. Two registers and one open with long line….doesn’t help. That all said, This place definitely makes SS Beach better place! Thanks.

Everything is amazing. You can’t go wrong for breakfast.
Great egg and cheese on a fresh croissant. Kids enjoyed their muffin and cinnamon roll. Also had a frappe and strawberry smoothie ?.

Benjamin’s Bakery and Cafe is a staple in the Surfside Beach community. If you don’t mind delicious food and great hospitality, Benjamin’s Bakery is for you. I’ve been eating here for my entire life and there is no other place that I enjoy more to eat my bagels and pastries. One day the owner Lee, was kind enough to give me a tour of their hidden kitchen! I then understood where the bread orders that go to Gulfstream Café (the restaurant I work at) come from! Located right on 3rd Ave South and a block down from Surfside drive makes this the perfect place for a pre-beach breakfast run! I want to thank Lee for having the best hospitality around, and for recognizing the people who appreciate the bakery the most!
We visited Benjamin's bakery on a Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. and it was rather crowded. I had trouble getting in the front door because someone was at the coffee station putting milk and sugar in their coffee and the way it's set up you are supposed to wrap around the back of the bakery to stand in line to order, so it's a little bit of a log jam getting through. There seemed to be plenty of seating inside and out, which was very nice.To order you read the menu that is high above the counter and then as you approach the counter you will be asked what you would like by the cashier. The cashiers are very efficient and do seem a little bit rushed as they are trying to move things along so people do not have to wait longer than desired.As you approach the counter you can finally see the bakery items which, surprisingly, were not very enticing to us. Lots of cruller, donuts, and Danish type things. Personal preference obviously, but we usually have a wicked sweet tooth and still didn't see anything that excited us.They have a lot of bagel types and while they looked delicious I actually didn't love them. They were neither crunchy or chewy on the outside, nor soft on the inside, meaning nothing really stood out about them. I feel like they were very similar to a supermarket bagel.I got an egg and sausage on an everything bagel and my husband got a nine grain bagel with jalapeno cheddar cream cheese, egg and sausage. The cashier delivers the food to you and, in our case, he gave me my husband's bagel and I didn't realize it and took a couple of bites before my husband figured out our plates were switched. I really didn't care for his lol.They deliver the food and coffee to you, which is nice, but then you need to get up and go to put the milk and sugar in at the coffee station near the door, as mentioned earlier. I don't mean to be petty, but it's a bit silly to have your coffee delivered to you outside and then have to go back inside to put your milk and sugar in. I think with the way the place is set up and so small they ought to offer to put the milk and sugar in for you . Also, milk was the only option at the coffee station. I did not see anything as far as half and half or non-dairy creamers. The coffee station had shakers with cocoa, nutmeg, and cinnamon powder which was nice.

If you haven't been- you need to HURRY UP AND GO! The coffee is so delicious and nutty- smooth... the fresh baked goods GALORE are just perfect. Cozy local atmosphere. You can't leave MB without visiting this place!
Annual purchase of Irish Soda Bread hockey pucks were delicious although a little pricey.

Their apple fritters are the very best I’ve ever eaten in the last 50 years!If you have never been to Benjamin’s Bakery, you need to not wait any longer.Do yourself a favor and enjoy Benjamin’s pastries and donuts.You will not be disappointed.David
Been by this place dozens of times. Finally stopped for a bagel. Can kick myself for not stopping earlier. Fresh bagel and fresh cream cheese. Simply outstandingly.
