I found it very pricey, but my perspective on value for money paid should not affect anyone's decision to try this place out. Furthermore I decided that a 5-Star review is still owed, since "price" should be a matter of perspective and not something that should cost a good business a star. That being said, I got exactly what I ordered and it was delicious!! It was the perfect way to start my day at the beach. My bagel was perfectly toasted and I could taste all of the flavors I asked for. I stepped outside to sit under the sunshine while I waited for my order, and to my surprise they brought it outside for me. Overall a great experience and I would definitely do it again. read more

The customer service was great and the staff was friendly, but unfortunately the food was very disappointing. I ordered a bagel double toasted, yet it came out cold. The sausage was cold as well, and the cheese wasn't even melted. I also ordered a burrito, and it was extremely skimpy on the fillings, there were barely any toppings inside and it was basically just a tortilla. What made the experience even more frustrating was a sign on the wall that said, "You can't rush good quality." Ironically, the food came out in about a minute and the quality was far from good. It felt like the food was thrown together without much care or attention. While I appreciated the friendly service, the food quality and preparation were very disappointing. read more

Bagels were delicious, service was fast, definitely a 'grab and go' place as there is no indoor seating and only seating outside is a few benches while waiting for your order. Parking is chaotic and it is busy so be mindful of that when coming! Very small shop and there will most likely be a line out the door depending when you go read more

The Snoogie (5/5): Great combination of lox, capers, cream cheese, and onion (I ordered no tomato). The ratio was good and I could taste each of the ingredients. I thought the bagel would be better, but it was still solid. Shoreline (4/5): I was drawn in by the tots but that part of it was a little disappointing (not crispy enough). Still a good sandwich though. Could've been much spicier. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

Cut little spot on the way to the beach! Plenty of bagle and cream cheese flavors for even the pickiesiest eaters. I chose an asiago with DILL PICKLE cream cheese, yes, you read that correct.

Sunrise Bagel - The Bunny - Bagels Near Me - Surf City, North Carolina

I understand the many reviewers who have never had a bagel who therefore think it is just a flattened white bread role with a hole cut out which is what Sunrise Bagel sells. For these unfortunate customers, I hope they one day get to try a real boiled bagel which takes much longer to make than a plain bread roll and has a taste and texture far different than any old day old bread roll similar to what you can buy in a Piggly Wiggly or Food Lion. It really should be called Sunrise White Bread Roll for greater accuracy but 'bagel' fits better on a sign and attracts the overseas and mid western visitors that have only watched movies that involve New York delis but never tasted an actual bagel. It is like a person who has never had a hamburger gushing praise on McDonalds for their "fillet mignon" steak sandwiches . Sorry folks, the product sold by Sunrise "Bagel" is only accurate for the Sunrise part. As a side note, when the little screen is flipped for payment, most people can find the tip section without being informed. I get it that it guilts people on leaving a tip but it's so intrusive especially for such an over the top expensive joint. read more

Stopped here for a quick snack on a bike ride on a Monday. They had lots of bagels and bagel sandwich options! The bagel flavors are unique but a lot of them were not available. There was a little line when we got there. A small little shop with no seating inside and just a couple benches outside. I ordered an asiago bagel with cream cheese and lox. It was a pretty good price ~$7. It was so filling. Bagel tasted fluffy! My friend got a bagel before me and said it wasn't toasted so I made sure to ask that mine was toasted. Overall a good bagel! read more

Tiny shop, very popular for good reasons. Great service. Decent prices. Sweetie got plain with PB and liked it. I got a 3Ps (pesto provolone and pepper) with scallion spread and it was great. Spread was freshly made, as was the bagel. Tasty and filling. Would definitely come back. read more

This sandwich was delish, and exactly what I was looking for early this morning. The cooks in the back were working hard and everything was fresh! The staff allowed me to get a side of bacon for my pup, which did not disappoint the princess. Would definitely go back if I'm in town again. read more

We went here and first thing I saw was the sanitation rating 10000000!!!! Good jobbb guyssss!!!!! Any ways we got half a dozen (4 everything and 2 raisin bagels) and 3 bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, pretty good but nothing will compare to the north east bagels. On the back wall is where they served all there bagels and it very organized and pretty. The guy serving us seemed a little impatient and got annoyed at us but either way 8/10. read more

It was my first time here, it is still early in the season so I was greeted right away and order taken. I ordered the Day Tripper sandwich and asked to be in a wrap, that is an additional charge. The day tripper consists of bacon, cheese and chicken. You can have the sandwich with a side or just plain. It was ok. It lacked a kick to it! Maybe some kinda of dressing or something to make it stand out. Because honestly you can get a wrap like this anywhere for less $$. I will come back and try their bagels with their flavored cream cheese! This is a take out place, so don't expect to stay and eat. read more

If you are looking for a fat yeasty bagel, you've come to the wrong place. These delicious bagels are relatively slender and tasty. The existing combinations of breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, and you can suggest your own combinations My go to is the Bunny with sausage, egg, cheese, spinach and tomato. I've only had good bagels. As other reviewers have mentioned, sometimes they are out of various bagel flavors (today it was everything at 11:30 AM . The place is small so it's takeout only. In the summer I call ahead so I can pick mine up right away. I have a feeling that it's aggravating to people waiting in line. The service is good with a lot of young folks working the line. Smoothly run. read more

Sunrise Bagel is a great little spot in Surf City that I wish I had known about sooner. I live relatively close and a girlfriend of mine picks up breakfast and comes over so we can have a little bit of girl chat before we start our day. First, there is no seating and everything is to go. I don't mind as I prefer to eat my breakfast at home. Keep in mind that you will be taking it to go and maybe plan to stop before a beach day. The service is always great. The staff handles their small busy kitchen very well. I always order the high-rise which is meat, egg, and cheese. I get mine with pork roll (known as Taylor ham on their menu) and it's always fantastic. The Shoreline is also a great breakfast sandwich and generally the one that my girlfriend will choose. This is a great choice for breakfast! read more

Sunrise bagel is fine! First, I think the prices are pretty good. Like $5 for a breakfast sandwich. I think the food is okay. And it comes out pretty quickly. The service is fine! There's also plenty of parking. I wish the space inside was a little bigger though. There is no seating. read more

Uhhhh why can't Sunrise Bagel be located in Wilmy? I would quite literally be there all the time. We really enjoyed the bagels here. In addition to having plenty of yummy options, they were soft and fresh. I ordered their snoogie on an Asiago cheddar bagel with scallion cream cheese. Really enjoyed this classic lox bagel as the capers were plentiful, and the tomatoes and red onion were paper thin. This'll definitely be a spot we frequent on our visits to Topsail! Defo recommend! read more

I am a big bagel fan and this one hits (helps eating it on the beach). The place is so cute and simple inside. They've got plenty of options for bagels, bagel spreads, and sandwiches.

As soon as we walked in we saw flys on the bagels, that's unsanitary like not one or two, a bunch. So I choose a 2 egg burritos the way they have it worded it sounds like it's two burritos, apparently not... paid $29 for 2 small burritos instead of 4 like we thought it said. Super over priced. Don't bother to come here. read more

They gave our order to someone else so we were waiting there clueless. Guy comes out and admits he gave the order to someone else and then never came back out to address it. We go back to the counter order it again and they forgot the bacon and made the sandwich hot when it was supposed to be cold. Paid 16+ dollars for a bagel with couple slices of deli meat. Pretty disappointed. read more

Loved this beach bagel shop while vacationing in Surf City. My husband and I came a few times and tried a few different things, but my absolute favorite was the Shoreline bagel on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. The Shoreline is bacon, egg, pepper jack cheese, jalapeño cream cheese, jalapeños, and Tater tots! Omg it is so yummy and spicy but not overly spicy (especially of you took off the jalapeños). My husband's go-to favorite that he saw on their Instagram was a French toast bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and bacon. Sounds crazy but it was so delicious- sweet and Salty. The food was incredible and there are ton of different bagel flavors, several cream cheese flavors and a variety of toppings which makes the combinations endless. Only downfall is the parking lot is very small which makes it hectic and the store is also small and can get crowded and hot, but staff does a good job managing it. Small wait during busy hours but totally worth it. Only complaint is that my husband ordered a French toast bagel with toppings. While we were waiting four our order people after us ordered to go Bagels and by the time staff got to making his sandwich with the French toast bagel, they were all sold out of that bagel. Just a suggestion if a guest orders a particular bagel, to take it down when it's ordered (even if they can't make it right away) to prevent it from being sold out since we already purchased it. Overall excellent bagels and will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area again. read more

If you're looking for a great bagel that's crisp on the outside and an ideal, soft texture on the inside then look no further. While I was visiting town on a camping trip, I stumbled across this tiny bagel bakery in a small plaza less than 5 minutes from a public beach access. The parking lot is small so it fills up quick but it's worth the wait if you happen to show up & need to circle for a spot for a while. After ordering your preferred bagel combination or bagel du jour, do yourself a favor a take your breakfast to the beach -- it's a wonderful way to start your morning any day of the week! The bagel to cream cheese ratio is just slightly under perfect but I am a cream cheese lover so for those who like a balanced bagel, you'll be in heaven with their shmear to bread combo. The flavor and texture of the cream cheese is totally crave-able -- not too dense, not too tangy, we'll-balanced and begging to be licked off the plate. The breakfast sandwiches looked divine, but I stuck with my classic sesame seed toasted with plain cream cheese since it was my first time stopping by so I can't speak to those personally... yet. read more

Went on a Friday morning in mid-December to order two dozen bagels. The cashier looked concerned when I placed my order and turned to someone (I assumed the owner or manager). I watched and listened to the cashier as she relayed that I was ordering two dozen bagels. The owner/manager person then looked at me and asked "Are you local?". I answered "yes". She then said "Next time call at least two days ahead because now we have to make more bagels". (Yeah, it's called "Sunrise Bagel Company" that's what you do, is make bagels. Or so I thought. I wanted bagels, not a catered brunch or sunrises). "Next time"? Next time I will order bagels from where they will not chastise me for ordering bagels. Which coincidentally is everywhere else that sells bagels. read more
