Blondies Bagels & Cafe

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.
