Enjoyed the Chicken Salad on wheat bagel which comes with Cole slaw and a pickle, very tasty and great service. Husband had the Ruben and liked it very much. Pictures to follow.

Ordered online for pick up as I was going to be in the Charleston area. I have been looking for good bagels since I moved to South Carolina 10 years ago. Havent found ANY that were worth a damn. I have ordered bagels from all over the US though mostly from the New York area and havent been very impressed. Being from the west coast a good bagel is a staple! So imagine my surprise when I got home with my bakers dozen of bagels yesterday! The cream cheese is house made and delicious. The bagels themselves are absolutely perfect! Not a giant, mushy, doughy bagel like all the grocery stores. A smaller bagel, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside especially once toasted. Bravo Blondies! I will definitely be back when I next have to be in Charleston! Thank you!

First time and Im definitely going back. Incredible service and even even better food. My asiago bagel was overstuffed with fresh lox cream cheese, lox, onions and capers. Cant wait to try the ham & Swiss melt bagel!!

This is one of the best bagels Ive had in SC, and as a New Yorker Im always hopeful for a good bagel. The breakfast sandwiches were great and the staff very friendly.

Best bagels in Charleston! Being from NY (I know, why does every New Yorker have to mention it?) Im always on the hunt for a good bagel. Blondies blows Charleston bagel, Brueggers, and any other place out of the water.Only thing Id suggest is go easy on the cream cheese 😂

Blondies Bagels & Cafe on Seven Farms Drive on Daniel Island is a great place to go for all things bagels, breakfast food, and coffee. I really like the location and atmosphere that they have available here. This is a great place to have a meeting or work. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating.

This is the best place for a good bagel! It’s cheap and high quality. It’s one of my favorite spots here in Charleston.

Love coming here during the week to work when I want a change in scenery. Fresh bagels made every morning (my favorite is the asiago) and great drinks. Pastries are really good, too. I like the chocolate zucchini bread.

The bagels were so good! Got an egg white and provolone sandwich on a plain bagel and it was so good. We also got a cinnamon roll which was fine but a little dry. If it was warmed up it would have definitely been better! The chai latte was also super good!

I really enjoyed coming here. The girls were really sweet and helped guide me through the menu. The bagels are fresh and everything came together really well. I had to switch my drink order and they we’re very accommodating and nice about my mistake. Highly recommend stopping in.

Take my advice. Go elsewhere. Worst bagels I have ever had. If you like flat hockey pucks, ok for you. You want a true NY bagle, go elsewhere. Expensive. At least $2 dollars more for baker dozen than other locations. had the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese bagel for breakfast. again, a mistake. I will not come back. They offer no discounts to military, fire, police, teachers, AARP, seniors. None. Again, dont waste your money at Blondies.

Review №17

After I stood around and waited for almost an HOUR after I placed an ONLINE order I asked the girl at the counter how much longer I was going to have to wait she rudely told me they were “backed up” and she didn’t work in the kitchen so she didn’t know. This restaurant shouldn’t accept online orders if they cannot accommodate them in a timely manner.I waited so long I ended up cancelling my order.

While SC hospitals are over capacity and leading the nation in COVID cases, only one employee out of a dozen wearing a mask. Shameful. Even the hardware store staff wears masks. Bagel egg sandwich was mediocre.

Review №22

The girl who work at the register had the worst attitude. She must be 16 or something. She looked hungover and kept tapping her finger nails while she took my order. Terrible customer service. My bagel was burnt and it had zero seasoning on the avocado that was inside. Won’t be back.

Review №24

I am tired of paying money for inadequately prepared food. I paid for 2 bagels, both were burned and the egg/cheese bagel was fried to death. This was an awful experience!!! Don’t charge me money for food that my 6 year old could make without burning! Shouldn’t bagel 101 be, “don’t burn the bagel!”By the way, their service is equally rude and unprofessional. When I called the shop to let them know about my service, they handled it by hanging up on me instead of refunding my money or preparing a bagel that wasn’t burned!Don’t give this place your business, they don’t deserve it and neither do you!

Great bagels and cream cheese! However, ordered a cinnamon roll to go, and opened it in the car only to discover it had mold on it. 2 stars for dry, moldy cinnamon roll

Food is great..... process is unbearable, after you order online someone from the store has to accept the order. 20 minutes for a coffee and bagel from the time I ordered to the time it was in my hands.

The go to place on Daniel Island for a quiet table, cup of coffee and your favorite bagel with all the accessories. So quaint inside. Brick walls, tin ceiling tiles, concrete floor and great service. A little Daniel Island secret.

Review №33

Visited to grab a coffee and bagel when a mask-less man came in. Employees gave him a mask but he still refused to wear it and management said nothing. They didn’t even refuse to serve him despite the multiple signs referring to Charleston’s mask ordinance.I won’t be ordering here again since the establishment won’t enforce city ordinances for public safety. A shame too - the food and coffee are good.

If you want a great bagel with a bunch of options then you have to try this place. Went there to get a bagel sandwich and was very pleased especially at how good it was and how fairly priced it is. Before leaving I just got a regular garlic bagel with cream cheese. Both were incredible and I cant wait to go back! Check this place out too for the awesome ambiance. WiFi was fast and would be a great place to work while drinking coffee and munching on bagels.

Best. Bagel. Ever. This is the kind of place you make certain to go every time you are in town. I ran 2 miles the other day just to get this bagel! It’s so good, myself and others often get two bagels vs one.... because we know 20 minutes later we’ll be craving another one of these worlds best bagels! Thank you Blondies for importing your N.Y. expertise to DI!!!

I give them a 5 star review to cancel out that liberal Georginna’s review. Unfortunately Georginna thinks the government should control your life. Sad that people think Masks are kryptonite for covid. Wake up. Pathetic attempt to curtail business at this wonderful establishment. I bet u wear a mask in your car when driving solo too

I can only review the coffee because thats all I ordered - a caramel macchiato. It tasted great and the temperature was perfect. I received my drink in record time so I am very pleased with my first experience here. The inside is very clean and looks like a great spot to work or hang out with friends. I will be back to try out one of their fresh bagels. During the summer time, they do reopen at 4:00 pm for ice cream. Great spot and location.

One of the best bagels I’ve had - Lox with jalapeño CC. We were in town for a few days and tried a few of the local coffee shops and this was by far the best!

Awesome bagels, coffee, muffins, breakfast and lunch only. Super nice and friendly staff, service is quick and the whole vibe of the place is very welcoming and relaxing. Plenty of seating indoors and out. Bike rack right outside. Open at 6am so great for early risers! Just a real nice downtown destination to meet a friend or ride bikes to.

Review №46

Got an everything bagel and a large mocha latte. Coffee was hot and fresh, and the bagel was delicious. I was going to say this place is a great alternative to the big chain shop on the other side of the island, but I think its the other way around. Go here first!

Review №47

If you are a local the staff will treat you with the best demeanor. If you are not, forget it. I’ve been there consistently over the past week as I thought I could give them a fair chance (and not judge based on one visit). They were not friendly. 1 they did not ask for my name the first round so they called me by my legal name listed on my card. I didn’t hear them as they kept pronouncing it wrong (which is not their fault) but when they did find who I was they basically threw the bagel on my desk saying here. 2 I was there again and I usually ask for a splash of almond milk in my coffee (as I don’t drink whole milk). As I asked for it at the counter a girl with glasses said “next time ask for it at the counter”. Why was this such a bother for her and how come I have done it for the past four days but it was fine with everyone else? And 3 as for their food, bagels are not great (as on one of the occasions my bagel was so burnt on one side I could not eat it) and coffee is so poor. I tried to like it and give it a chance but it did not work for me.

Messed up and easy bagel and cream cheese order and were rude when I questioned the order. I said never mind because it was not worth the hassle and additional time. I. Ate what they prepared and got sick. For these reasons I dont recommend. Note: this was my 3rd visit, the service is really slow and they appear to hate their jobs based off of their projected additudes

My Sister and I were visiting our niece and her family on the island. The first morning rather late we took 2 of our 3 great nephews to Blondies if I lived here this would be a daily place for me. The bagel sandwich was great. It was good to have a sandwich that didnt taste mass produced. I hope to get back here for the Reuben Sandwich.

Blondies is close to where I work and I love stopping in for a classic egg sandwich. The staff is AMAZING and always upbeat. On top of that, one morning I forgot my wallet at home. I had already placed my order to go, and they were awesome about it. They knew I worked close and they said just come by later when I have it. Its totally the Ma and Pa shop feel when you can do that. Try doing that at Starbucks and see what happens.Go here and you wont be disappointed.

Mr. Gyros is perfect for that fast casual gyro your craving. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The gyro plate is really filling and tasty. The olives and tzatziki sauce is are really good in addition to your gryo plate. When I ordered the gyro plate and watched the Grecian scenes on the TVs in the restaurant it really set the mood and made the meal that much special. The restaurant and food is really comforting to make you feel amazing after eating.

Fast Service, GREAT coffee. Just a little disappointed with Bagel. Everything bagel lacked all of its flavor. Veggies in cream cheese diced way to big. Should be very fine diced, you get way more flavor out of veggies.

Review №62

The bagels here are subpar (Im from NYC... I know a good bagel) and the service may have been the worst Ive encountered in Charleston. The woman who took my order (middle aged, very short dark hair) was unbelievably rude and snippy to me for no apparent reason. I was so taken aback because I had witnessed her being perfectly cordial with the man who ordered before me. The same woman then proceeded to make me a beverage that was filled half way. If you want a good bagel, Charleston Bagel Co. is much better.

Cute little place. Has a nice modern farm style vibe. Service was fast and friendly. My wife had a bagel and cream cheese, though I dont remember the flavors, it was excellent. I had the egg sandwich with bacon and pepper jack cheese. Only gripe I wish they had a little more variety in coffee, other than that a superb place.

Incredible!! The staff is always super friendly to me. I find myself going here twice per day because my office is conveniently located down the road. Ive even started bringing my colleagues with me to show them the Blondies way. The owner Jon is usually there and is great to talk to, being were both from the Northeast we hit it off. Definitely recommend!

I love this place! Best lox ever! You have to get there early on the weekends because sometimes they run out of certain bagels. Great coffee and so many excellent baked goodies! A perfect spot to stop for coffee and a quick bite to eat, sit out on the patio and get work done on your laptop, or meet some friends out after a brisk jog around the island.

Bagels are meh and are a bit too expensive. Coffee consistently taste burnt. They more or less have no competition on the island so people just keep eating here. If you really want a solid bagel in Charleston go to bagel nation.

Ordered a cappuccino after being told they didnt know what a flat white was. Four dollars + tip later, I received a quarter filled cup of coffee with four inches of foam. I asked for the rest of my drink and told I would be charged again. Thats the type of staff there. A generous two stars for location, atmosphere, and abundant power outlets, I suppose. Starbucks is coming soon to DI, so if they keep this level of service up they will find themselves out of business. Skip this place.

Great place for a quick bite!Homemade cream cheeses (especially the maple walnut raisin) are delicious.Think its a little ridiculous (and pretentious for that matter) that they expect $1 for a REFILL of a basic coffee that costs $2.25.Other than that one nit that needed to be picked, overall a wonderful experience (thats why they earned the 5 stars)!

Review №78

Really bummed about my experience here. They completely forgot my order. My bagel with lox to go took (no exaggeration) 20 minutes to come out. When I did finally get it, it wasnt how I ordered. It wasnt a case of them being slammed with customers or understaffed - my order was just lost or forgotten somewhere in the process, and it took fifteen minutes for someone behind the counter to stop trying to avoid eye contact with me and actually check on it. To their credit, I was offered a crumb cake or cup of coffee, but at that point, I just needed to leave. To then discover that my order was wrong was just more of a bummer. Really disappointed as I was hoping this would be my new go-to spot.

I have come a few times and they have never gotten my order correct. Toasted bagel with bacon, tomato, an cream cheese. It is always missing something even after taking at least 15 minutes to prepare. If you’re looking to spend too much time waiting for something you didn’t order, this is the place

Love their bagels and their fancy coffee as I call it. The only thing is that it is loud. The sound rebounds from the walls and ceilings and it can get real loud, to the point that I never hear my name called. But the food and staff are great.
