For as long as I can remember, my younger sister, Jane, and I have dreamed about opening our own neighborhood café. Hungry cookbook collectors and unabashed Ina Garten fans, there has never been a recipe that we weren’t eager to test or share with our friends. When the time would be right, our café would be named Blondies. Why not? Two blondes and a play on the all-too-familiar sweet that would represent our love for baked goods…
Originally from New Jersey, my husband, Jon, and I relocated to Daniel Island in 2011 with our two young boys. We missed our local counter cafes where we could quickly grab quality fare and coffee at affordable prices. It soon enough became clear that Blondies had found its home.
Driven by our appreciation for good food and a well-designed atmosphere, we dedicated two years to designing Blondies. Although ‘the bagel’ was not part of our original concept, we felt that a bagel shop made perfect sense for the community. The bagel is a timeless, versatile staple and most importantly, a missing food group for a couple of Northerners like us.
Our gourmet bagel shop offers a fresh and seasonal menu focusing on housemade bagels and cream cheeses. The tailored menu features all-American breakfast favorites like bagel and egg sandwiches to a selection of sandwiches and sweet treats for the lunch-going crowd. We are excited to call Daniel Island ‘home’ for our family and now our business too! Anne Turner Owner Blondies Bagels & Cafe

in the last week2024: The bagels are good (not great), but this shop has a counting problem. Just got home with my "baker's dozen" and only have 12 bagels... And this is the third time it's happened. Update 2025: Once again, ordered a baker's dozen, chose 13 flavors, and only came home with 12. Count your bagels before you leave with a takeout order!!

2 weeks agoJust wasn't that good. Went on a Sunday and they had no bagels. Sold out of all of them. Spent $26 on 2 breakfast sandwiches. They were soggy and awful. Wife and I just tossed them. Will never go back

3 weeks agoThis place has amazing wraps and sandwiches! My favorite is the chicken salad wrap — it’s always fresh and full of flavor. Definitely a great spot on Daniel Island for a quick and delicious bite!
