Benjamin’s Bakery: Surfside Beach Bagels Made Fresh Every Day

By Now Open Staff · Nov. 16, 2026

Ask around Surfside about bagels and you’ll hear one name.

Benjamin’s Bakery & Cafe, at 810 3rd Ave. S., makes its bagels in house every day, with cream cheeses made in house too. It’s named for the son of owners Lee and Wendy Zulanch.

It’s open daily 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.; the grill closes at 2.

What to order

A fresh bagel with a house cream cheese — or try the bialy, a cross between a bagel and an English muffin.

Address: 810 3rd Ave. S., Surfside Beach
Hours: Daily 7 a.m.–3 p.m. (grill closes at 2)
