Saray Bakery Brings European Pastries and Coffee to North Kings Highway

Saray Bakery & Patisserie brings a European-style bakery, patisserie, and gourmet coffee bar to 4811 N Kings Hwy Unit B in Myrtle Beach. Owned and operated by Saray Benezra, a graduate with a pastry degree from Horry-Georgetown Technical College, the establishment opened in early 2026 following extensive venue renovations throughout 2025. Local discussion frequently reflects appreciation for an independent, non-chain patisserie along the North Kings Highway commercial corridor.

The venue operates as a dual-concept establishment, combining a counter-service bakery for quick visits and custom bakery orders with a sit-down cafe and coffee bar. The dining space is widely regarded by patrons as polished, stylish, and welcoming, offering table seating for visitors wanting to dine on-site. Operational flow and wait times are regularly noted as smooth, with guests frequently citing warm hospitality from the owners and attentive service from staff.

For morning dining, Saray Bakery serves traditional savory options alongside sweet preparations. The Turkish Mix Breakfast (Serpme Kahvalti) is structured for sharing, priced at $45.00 for two people, $67.50 for three, and $90.00 for four. It includes thermos tea, menemen, cooked eggs, feta cheese, mozzarella, green and black olives, honey, various jams, breakfast sauce, butter, tomatoes, cucumbers, mixed greens, and fresh fruit. An individual Breakfast Plate (Kahvalti Tabagi) is offered for $15.00, featuring feta, mozzarella, olives, jam, and honey.

The pastry displays feature a wide range of traditional baklava and regional desserts. Portioned selections include Fıstıklı Sarma (pistachio roll) and Havuç Dilimi (carrot slice) for $10.00 each. Traditional Baklava, Cevizli Sarma (walnut roll), Sütlü Nuriye (milky nuriye), Şöbiyet, Midye Baklava (mussel baklava), Saray Sarmasi Hindistan Cevizli (coconut and milk), and Soğuk Baklava (cold baklava) are priced at $8.00 per portion, with an additional cold baklava variation at $6.00. Other regional sweets include Cevizli Kadayıf ($7.50), Fıstıklı Kadayıf ($5.00), and Şekerpare semolina cookies ($8.00). Diners locally often describe these desserts as exceptionally fresh, flaky, and well-crafted.

The cake and dessert menu covers both individual daily pastries and custom elaborate cake orders. Individual cake selections feature the Malaga ($10.00), Kadife Pasta / Velvet Cake ($10.00), Piece of Joy Cake ($7.00), Mosaic Cake ($4.00), Turkish Donuts ($4.00), and Éclairs ($1.50 small, $2.50 large). Additional baked desserts include Brownies ($5.00), Tiramisu ($7.00), Cheesecake ($8.00), Magnolia ($4.00), and Tarts ($2.50 small, $5.00 large). Traditional milk puddings include Sutlac (rice pudding, $5.00), Keskul (almond pudding, $5.00), Kazandibi (caramelized pudding, $7.00), Supangle ($6.00), Trilece ($5.00), and Profiterol ($7.00). Assorted cookies (Kuru Pasta) are sold by the portion for $8.00 or by the pound ($15.00 standard, $18.00 for specialty varieties).

Saray Bakery is open seven days a week, running daily hours from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Sunday. The business can be reached by phone at (843) 848-2253 or online at cakesbysaray.com. Regular patrons note that high demand can cause popular baked items to sell out earlier in the day, meaning late afternoon visitors may encounter a lighter selection.

Our take: Saray Bakery excels as an authentic European cafe suited for quiet morning sit-down breakfasts, midday coffee meetings, or taking home specialty Turkish baklava and custom celebration cakes.
