“ This place is amazing! The people who work here are polite and welcoming AND the bagels? Delicious! It has a deli feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating. We like their breakfast bagels and iced coffee. They freeze cubes of coffee to go in your ice coffee brew so when they melt it doesn't add extra water to your coffee mix; just more coffee!! So creative and thoughtful. They also sell packs of discounted bagels that are a day old for you to take home so that they ensure whatever they bake isn't wasted and you get fresh bagels when you order. Plenty of pastries to choose from as well. This is a favorite of ours!! ”
“ The food was very good but a little pricy for a bagel and coffee. The place is clean and plenty of seating. ”
“ This is great place for all kinds of goodies! Breakfast and lunch specials and award winning cookies. Say no more. We stopped for a sandwich and ordered the chicken salad on rye, toasted. This was delicious and flavorful. We had a few options for sides, and opted for potato salad. I was impressed with the texture and taste and would go back for this alone. My sister decided to order a sampling of cookies and everything they make looked over the top. I see why this place is so popular. I highly recommend a visit or more here. ”
“ Some of the best bagels I have had in a long time. The kids got the closed on Sunday chicken sandwich LoL HINT HINT Chick-fil-A is the sandwich as good as god chicken sandwich! You will need to go and find out for yourself. I also got a bacon egg and cheese on a toasted croissant, and the waitress was very nice and friendly , and I love the ambiance of this place... reminds me of a New York deli if it was on the beach . ”
“ We rented a beach house for a long weekend and it's our tradition to get bagels from a mom and pop place. This one was REALlY busy and we know why. 3 of us all got the Asiago bagel and it was very fresh and very good! Probably a top 5 bagel which says a lot since we are bagel snobs! Definitely will be stopping in for a bagel sandwich during our next beach trip to Ocean Isle! ”
“ Wow wow wow!!!!! Passed through calabash on the way home from the beach (around a 4 hour drive for us) and stopped in bagel dock for a quick breakfast. It was amazing!!!! It's deli style, so you order at the counter. While you wait to order, you are surrounded by pastries, donuts, drinks, and other goodies to look at and/or add to your order. It feels and looks like a New York deli. The staff was so nice and while I was waiting for our order one of the owners, Brian, came up to talk to me. He told me that the place is owned by several firemen, and it is NY style. He, himself, is from NY and was a first responder during 911. He told me about the community and how they make bagel dock so unique! They make their own coffee beans and sell bags of it, and when you buy hot coffee from them, it's this ultra purified water that they use. I can't remember the exact process of the purification despite him explaining it. It seems very complex, but it paid off as it was the best coffee I've had in a long time. The food was just as good, I got an everything bagel with steak, egg, and cheese. The steak was thinly sliced and so tender, egg was hot and fluffy, cheese was melty and helped keep the whole thing together. When they say an everything bagel there they mean it! It was not like any you could get in the store, SO much flavor, I cannot describe how each different little thing hit my taste buds. It was a symphony of deliciousness. I liked that the bagel was a little thinner than others I had because it doesn't take away from the fillings. The hashbrown was just as good, hot, and fresh. I ended up getting one of their sticky buns to munch on the ride home, and it was true to its name, sticky, sweet, wonderful. I will make it a point to come here whenever we come to the beach! ”
“ Cute spot outdoor seating lots of colorful shirts pictures and mariner themed. A row of coffees and creamers, tons of choices for bagels, cream cheeses, sandwiches from breakfast to lunch. Bagels are all homemade light and fluffy full of flavor. Plenty of drink options in the coolers. Warm, friendly, and efficient staff keep this bustling spot hustling. Staying in North Myrtle Beach this was a short 15 minute drive across the state line. Pre fishing trip at the marina a few doors down. That's another review see Little River Fishing Fleet ”
