Excellent find while travel through this area. Freshly hand-crafted eats with so many choices, you'll want to study the menu before ordering 'cause there's so many fantastic options. Limited hours: 6:00 AM- 2:00 PM. Caring staff makes sure your order is prepared in a timely manner! Popular spot for the locals there tends to always be a line. Many customers order ahead and carry out. That's when you know it's a great place! They're proud of their New York style of bagels and unique creations & daily bakery delights. We saw a BBQ sauce blended bagel & so many more combinations of different blends. The sandwiches look delicious, as well as their cream cheese fillings. We wanted to get one but, we were meeting family for lunch in Myrtle Beach. Yet, we had to get some baked treats. Ordered the peach strudel, apple crumb strudel & butter cookie with apricot filling. The peach strudel was a little too sweet, the apple strudel was absolutely amazing and that butter cookie was literally the best thing ever! It wasn't the hard cookie crunch most are made. It was a soft, delicate light pillow of perfection. I could have ate a few more and refrained from taking a bag "to go" LOL Note- Many other local finds from jams to spreads. Can make great gifts. *They have on-site parking. *Specials on day old goods and daily discounted prices if anything is left over from a few days before. Highly recommend this adorable little store. read more

Seriously the best bagels my boyfriend and I have ever had! These are so delicious and fresh. You can tell they're good by the bite, there's no tugging at the bread! They have unique flavors, too, like Sausage & Cheddar which has slices of sausage baked onto the bagel. So yum! Their bagel sandwiches are to die for. Also lots of unique cream cheeses, plus 50% off day old bagels! Be careful, the base price will easily creep up as you make customizations but truthfully it's worth the price. It gets busy here but they move through the line fast, you may just wait a little for your order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved grabbing ours and heading down to the dock, but there's plenty of indoor (and outdoor!) tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a must try! I'd gladly drive over the state line for these bad boys. read more

Very good bagel place. The menu is a bit visually overwhelming. But considering it's like like an everyday deli with bagels, you could imagine you'll get anything that you'd want. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was very good. I tried the Asiago bagel, vegetable cream cheese. I was not a fan of the Asiago bagel tasted very sharp, but if you like a sharp taste then the asiago bagel will be for you. The vegetable cream cheese, i was also not a fan of not sure why just didn't love it, but I found the staff to be helpful and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibes cheery so I'll definitely go back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We've been coming here for many years. The quality, convenience, consistency have all gone down drastically. The prices have skyrocketed. The recipe for the Asiago bagel has changed. It's currently just a bagel with Asiago on top. EVERYTHING is an up charge. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The signs are tacky and overwhelming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is insanely slow. We waited 45 minutes this morning for 3 "to-go" bagels. The tables weren't full and there were loads of staff present. It's just so poorly run. Acquiring a long standing business and changing it bit by bit until it's unrecognizable is just really sad. We've noticed and been disappointed since this place was purchased. But today was our final straw. We will not be returning. read more

Once again, they knocked it out of the park! Swung by for some bagels and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, and let me tell you, it was absolutely scrumptious. These bagels are top-notch, possibly even rivaling the ones I indulge in back in NYC. Want to know their secret? They've got a NYC guy whipping up their bagels, rolls, and desserts. As for the service, 10 out of 10. Sonya and Amber both took great care of me and were very helpful. read more

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. read more

I have been going to the Bagel dock for about 7 years. We are snowbirds, so we go that often. However, we went the other day for breakfast. Coming from NY we love our BEC on a toasted buttered roll. As counter person was ringing us up, I noticed that there was an up charge for butter-$1.06. I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. I guarantee they are using approximately 1 teaspoon of butter, that becomes to more then $24/ quarter lb. Talk about scamming your customers. It cost us $22 for 2 BEC sandwiches w/1 cup of coffee. That's about $5 more than I pay in NY. I am by no means cheap but I really don't like being taken advantage of. We decided after breakfast, we will not be returning. There are many other breakfast places to go to. read more

By far the best bagel and cream cheese I have ever had! Do not miss this place! They offer sandwiches as well as baked goods. I didn't try any of those BUT THE BAGELS are AMAZING! read more

Owner is frequently on site. Wow, freshest dough ever. Love the Bagels. Being a Southern Boy, I want my Bagels made by a Yankee. This gentleman is a retired NY City Firefighter. He uses REVERSE OSMOSIS Water in his dough. You can taste the difference. Excellent service. A broad selection of fresh Bagels to choose from. Asiago Cheese is my favorite. Their cream cheese is incredible. Their iced and hot coffee is freshly brewed. Excellent. Wide variety of hot sandwiches to choose from. My wife & I go there often. She used to live in Boston. She knows her bagels. She gives this 2 thumbs up. My brother loves it when I treat him with a few Bagels after a trip to Calabash. read more

The bagels are excellent, from plain to Asiago to a pizza bagel. The cream cheeses are all made on premises, as well as the bagels. They have lunch specials daily also. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was amazing!!!! It's deli style, so you order at the counter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]While you wait to order, you are surrounded by pastries, donuts, drinks, and other goodies to look at and/or add to your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It feels and looks like a New York deli.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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! read more

Good-news/Bad-news and I'd like to start with the good news...specifically, my bagel sandwich was deLICIOUS! Having fasted for lab work prior to walking in, I was ready for everything on the menu! (I've eaten at Bagel Dock once before many years ago. But it's off my beaten path and was so looking forward to this lunch!) "Amber" (at checkout) was so kind, able to help me to focus and answered my list of questions, as I settled on white fish salad on an olive bagel, lightly toasted, w/ lettuce & tomato. The sides were a pickle and (of 3 options) coleslaw. My beverage was a canned cream soda. Other than the specific sandwich described above ($16.80 in total), what I was served was so disappointing for me and embarrassing for Bagel Dock Cafe considering the "big world of bagel establishments" and what Bagel Dock COULD BE! Straight out: my sandwich was a MESS! And by the time I struggled to finish, it was saturated and very difficult to pick up. Before it arrived at my table, it appeared to have been either dropped, landing upside down & quickly rescued...or...slung across a table/counter, resulting in serious misalignment...or...well, someone just might feel better to 'fess up. Do I return to Amber with my new dilemma? My hunger drove my hope in a promising solution. Unwisely and armed with several napkins, I tackled my MESS. Later, as Amber walked by, I'm grateful she inquired about how I was enjoying my lunch. I did share (the above) and show her my MESS to which she assured she would "speak to those in the kitchen". So, the pickle was a very ordinary pickle. Canned soda is canned soda. And the coleslaw was the same icky sweet coleslaw from any grocery store and takeout chain...nothing special to add to my "good news" column. As I was finishing lunch, I was more certain that I'd return in the future. But giving these deeper thoughts as I write about my experience today, I'm disappointed to realize that I'm no longer sure. read more

First off, the title for this yelp page is wrong, this is not the original, this is the bagel dock under new ownership in case you didn't know, I know the original and this isn't it Sadly, this place has turned into a cheap tourist attraction and they've crammed every inch into advertising and merchandising, the TV's used to have the local weather, now it's just a scrolling advertisement, this places has lost its charm and its local small business appeal, if I didn't know any better I'd assume the new owners are rich millionaires from the north looking to just make more money Yea the food is fine, but they throw merchandise in your face from the second you walk in, there's signs plastered all over, there's 3 different large soda refrigerators and it all feels crowded and overwhelming, I just want a bagel for crying out loud I gave this place 5 stars before and I'm knocking down to 3 due to the atmosphere, it's that much of a turn off for me, I hope they chill out in the advertising and merchandise due to the customers not buying it, take the stuff off the walls, focus on food and the customers and stop being a tacky tourist attraction read more

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 read more

They charge you to use your debt card, they charge extra for cheese in their advertised Bagel Sandwiches that have a meat, egg and cheese. I had to call in and ask about the extra charge. The cashier refunded the order and asked for my card number to recharge me. Messed it up and refunded that one. In the end I paid more for that meal then I did the day before. Then when I post to Yelp I get blasted, maybe you should have checked the situation out, before you started on me. Bob took the post down so no one could see what he is really like. I provoded all receipts and details. I paid for my 2 specials that day, nothing free as the receipt shows. I don't want a free breakfast, would not trust that being made. My point to the post was being over charged for advertised produced and the debt card fee that is illegally being charged. My one star as you pointed out Bob, may have no impact on your business and that's fine. Word of mouth and social media may though. Your bagels don't knock a person's socks off, they are just better than Food Lions and Lowe's. It was convenient to grab before work. Good Day Sir! read more

owner's 5th update and reply to my review, desperation: "with over 1000 goggle reviews"....funny these over 1,000 GOGGLE reviews indicate that the customers need to find new GOGGLES that provide them with more clarity when visiting this business...lol...GOGGLES....hysterical. So sad. I haven't been here for a few years and found out during my recent visit that there is a new owner. A new owner with a water filtration system that makes the bagel extremely chewy and tough. The customer service wasn't awful, but it definitely was not good. No one seemed happy. They don't serve mini bagels anymore, I was told no one ever ordered them. I don't make bagels, but I think they rushed the everything bagel because they were initially out of them. I waited a few minutes while it became ready and honestly it was flat, about 1/4" thick. I know prices have increased, but I think $14 for two bagels and cream cheese is excessive. For great tasting bagels like Carmine used to make and excellent customer service, I recommend going to the Bagel Dock Express in Shallotte. No matter how many times the obsessive owner edits his response (4 times now) and uses it as a sales pitch, I stand by this review. And NO, their chewy/tough/pancake thin bagels are not an improvement over any bagels I have had previously, no matter what they say they are doing. read more

This place is amazing! The people who work here are polite and welcoming AND the bagels? Delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has a deli feel to it with indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The places appearance and menu design is great the service and food was not.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The girl working the register was a joke I ordered a steak n cheese on everything bagel. I asked if it was white to yellow American cheese. She said "I don't know it's just American" so I asked her to find out please because I don't like yellow American. Then after playing around on her computer to put my order in she tells me "I don't think we have steak" I told her there's literally a picture of a "cheesesteak" sandwich right on the menu screen behind you!! "Oh yeah I found it" then after I looked at my receipt I saw it said "bacon egg and cheese, no egg add steak" lol I'm saying wow who hired this girl!!! So I asked her to please make sure my sandwich doesn't have bacon on it abs she said " it won't" GUESS WHAT??? You got it it had bacon! Who would have ever thought... I didn't even bother complaining I was already in my truck on top of that I waited about 15 min for my sandwich they had 5-6 workers back there walking into each other looking lost orders sitting ready to be bagged up the sandwich was warm at best and dry and very bland no flavor.
