Crema's Take
“Big Apple Bagels brings genuine New York bagel craft to Surfside Beach, with loyal locals and transplants alike praising their chewy, properly-made bagels that actually taste like they came from the Northeast. While prices run a bit high and portion sizes on breakfast sandwiches can feel modest, the speed of service and warm staff keep the line moving through what's clearly become a beloved community spot. If you're craving an authentic bagel experience in a beach town, this is the real deal—just manage expectations on cream cheese generosity and come hungry.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →Pricey for what you get. The bagel was decent, but the cream cheese was basically imaginary—more of a rumor than a spread. For a place called Big Apple Bagels, I expected a lot more commitment to cream cheese. It was $2 for this spec of cream cheese. I see others post $9 bagel…
Finally, NY style bagels in a southern location. Best bagels I've had since moving 4 years ago from up north. Breakfast was ordered, I took a seat and quickly was served by sandwich. I had low expectations and was blown away by the taste and quality. You won't be…
Breakfast sandwich! You will sill be hungry. Store is very expensive as well. $8.50 for a Taylor hame and cheese bagel. 1&1/2 slices of meat and cheese. Bagels were much better than surrounding areas, but nothing like NJ.
This is a local favorite. As someone who grew up in the area this is my favorite spot for bagels. Their muffins are a must too! There’s usually a line but it moves super fast. Sienna was very personable the last time I was there! All the staff are great!
Just picked up some bagels for our first day in Surfside Beach. My wife ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel and I got the northwest omelet on a jalapeno bagel and we both got them toasted. We both really enjoyed our food! Customer service was exceptional
