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.

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 sandwiches, but there’s scare remains of egg meat and cheese.

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 disappointed!

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
