Fast service, and friendly staff. They did not toast my husband or my bagel sufficiently enough and my egg, say adage and cheese was room temperature, not really warm or hot. I believe this is due to the high volume of customers they have going in and out of the store and the speed they have to make food. I think Panera's bagel sandwiches are better than surf bagel. read more

Loved the bagels here! The ham, egg and cheese sandwich was delicious. It hit the spot! We also got the nova lox. They didn't skimp out on the salmon. It was quite filing. Our friend got the chicken salad sandwich on a bagel and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh out tasted. Can't wait to make it back for more! read more

The last two morning I have been going to surf bagel to grab a bagel for the ride to work. They are always very soft and delicious. For $1.20 you cannot go wrong. I always get mine plain, so it may cost more for toppings, but it's worth it. I have yet to walk in and have a line to order. Very convenient, quite affordable and highly delicious. read more

After introducing my brother to surf bagel for breakfast this morning, the first thing he asked in line is if we could go back for lunch. We did and did not regret it. Delicious and filling wraps and cheesesteaks (others around us were still ordering breakfast at noon). Great homemade potato chips too! read more

It's not just the best bagels you've eaten! Sure, hands down, these guys are producing the best! Their wraps are awesome! Their soups are amazing! Nuf' Said. read more

I was skeptical about this places that hosts a monthly politician's coffee meeting because I didn't want to go to a restaurant where politics was forefront. But after seeing the numerous reviews I knew that I would have to try it. I wasn't too disappointed. This may be one of the best bagel shops in the area (that's not saying much) but it would better compete with some of the sandwich shops. On contact with the staff this place gets a fail. There are more than 20 feet of menu signage and as a first time customer I was trying to take it all in. Also, the different types of bagels are angled off so you can't read the menu and select a bagel at the same time. I'm trying to read the menu which now I know is repetitive with a chalk board menu in back of the register and a printed menu above the register. There are also various notes posted all over the place. Normally I would have tried to read it all but the cashier was awkwardly impatient considering there was no line. I asked for a turkey bagel and when she asked what I wanted on it I said what are my options? She just looked at me blankly and shrugged so I took a stab at some of the ingredients they might have. Also, later when I placed an order of bagels they seemed rushed for me to make my selections. The place was packed with people eating and chitchatting. The customers were very friendly and happy to engage in conversation with strangers. Most of the tables were of older people enjoying a coffee but even with so many people it wasn't packed or cramped. The food was ok. I ordered a turkey on everything bagel and my wife got a chicken club wrap. It was delicious meat and plenty of it. It says a lot that my wife's wrap was a lot better than my bagel sandwich at a bagel shop - not a sandwich shop. The everything bagel was bland to my liking only having a little poppy seeds and garlic but seemingly no onions or other spices. Even though that bagel disappointed I have since tried others that are at least flavorful. Their spinach, jalapeno, and sun dried tomato were good. The biggest problem is that there is very little consistency. Bagels are often different sizes and are oddly shaped. I found almost all of them have one crispy side and one doughy side. This is probably because the bagels are over-sized and don't cook evenly. The bagels are also a bit tough and are either not fresh or cooked poorly. The prices seem to vary drastically. $6 for a half dozen uncut bagels but over $3 for a single bagel with flavored cream cheese. The breakfast bagel sandwiches were about $4 but $7 for just turkey and lettuce. As a lifetime local I've come to expect summer prices and winter prices in the resort areas. I avoid the beaches in the summer so I don't know if there is a price change here but the fluctuation might account for the variance in pricing. Either way there is very little attention to detail and the place is all around too rushed for for the slower pace of the way of life in Sussex in the winter. read more

The best bagel experience in the northeast ! We're from Florida, moved to south Jersey a year ago. The only bagels that we were grateful for was a New York guy had a local shop. Good bagels, but couldn't wait to get to Jersey for the "northern" food experience. We've had good bagels, when we came here......WOW ! They taste like they were made a minutes ago ! I had the sausage, egg and cheese on whole wheat everything bagel. The only problem is.....can I get back to Jersey and except what I knew to be good bagels. Smh !!! read more

On our last day in Delaware, we start with breakfast from Surf Bagel. These chewy bagels rival those from NJ. The dough is nice, soft, and chewy. Of course the boys have a blast chewing through a few bites. read more

I like their bagels don't get me wrong but I have tried better bagels. My fave GoTo here is buttered toast cheese bagel.

Delicious food- I am partial to the salads, but love a French toast bagel on occasion . Just check your order before you leave.

Delicious ice cream. You see people in cars from all the surrounding States. A good Family day out to relax, see the cows and relax in the gazebo to eat your ice cream. read more

Fast service, great variety of bagels! Chicken salad by the pound to go ideal for great lunches!

Amazing fresh bagels of all flavors, breakfast sandwiches and lunch. Very casual, some seating but most get it to go. Get there early because the line gets long- but worth the wait. read more

This is a remarkable place and worth a trip if you're almost anywhere near the Delaware shore. The bagels include classics and a surprisingly delicious addition, the Old Bay Bagel. It's a bit spicy, but simply amazing with cream cheese. The place is a but rustic but the staff is fun and the seating indoors and out is excellent if you have the time. Go. read more

A local's favorite! Continuously good food. Clean and owner's take pride in their business.

This is my breakfast spot at least once a week and I'm always sad when my food is gone. Breakfast and lunch is always great, I've been getting the Waikiki burrito with bacon lately and it's always fantastic. If you go for lunch get the bomber cheesesteak. You won't be disappointed! read more

Every time we come to Rehoboth beach we have to stop at Surf bagel. There is always a long line but please don't let that discourage you. The line goes by pretty fast. Also it gives you time to pick out what you would like to eat. They do have call ahead service if you don't want to wait. I love their everything bagel and they also have wheat everything bagel. Which is good as well. I got the tuna sandwich and my husband got the chicken sandwich. We both agree that they were good. The only thing that I didn't like was the fact they do not have Splenda but they do have equal. read more

Hands down my all time favorite bagel spot. Every time I visit my family I have to stop by - at least once. They have so many varieties of freshly baked bagels in unique flavors. There was an outdoor patio added in the last year and it's amazing. Nice to eat outside in the sunshine. I truly wish that Surf Bagel was in my town ! Thanks guys for an amazing place at the beach !!! read more

Surf Bagel - Cinnamon & raisin bagel ! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

My Wife and I have eaten here several times. The bagels are amazing and made into a variety of sandwiches, which are very tasty. The Rockfish Reuben sandwich is absolutely incredible. We've brought out of state guests here and they all have said the Reuben is one of the most unique and tasty sandwiches they have ever enjoyed. This is a great lunch stop. Also, they roast their own coffee, and it is always hot and satisfying. The eating area seems to be always very noisy and busy, but there are a few picnic benches outside, which are quieter. If you don't mind crowds and lines, then you'll enjoy this place. read more

Usually the cheesteaks are amazing but last time the rolls were only half filled with meat and barely any cheese. They also forgot to include our bagels in the order pickup and my husband had drive all the way back to get them. Maybe 2 stores is too much to handle..... read more

A must stop if you want a delicious breakfast. The bagels are fantastic as are the bagel breakfast sandwiches. They have coffees cake and this cinnamon sugar frosting bagel which the entire family fought over! The drip coffee was good too!!!! read more

Your ONLY bagel stop at the beach! I love these bagels! Breakfast sandwiches are bomb and the coffee is a favorite too, blueberry flavor is my favorite! Egg bagels and strider bars are my go to! read more

Surf bagel NEVER disappoints!! Don't let the long line during the summer season deter you. It goes quick and it gives you a chance to talk with whoever is in line, plus the line goes quickly IF you review the menu over your head BEFORE you get to the counter. Everything, sun dried tomato, garlic and Old bay are my bagels...toasted of course. And I get jalapeno or garlic cream cheese! ENJOY! read more

I come here every week. It reminds me of the bagel place I grew up with, except ten times better. They have something for everyone, my favorite being a "crispy" scrapple egg and cheese bagel sandwich on an everything bagel (my family says it's the everything sandwich). Close 2nd would be a classic bagel with cream cheese, and add a few strips of bacon to it. There lunch menu is great too: cheesteaks, deli bagel sandwiches or "longboard" sub, and many other combos... Plus it comes with these really good chips I think they make in house. Other combos I've enjoyed: Bluberry bagel with Strawberry CC (cream cheese), Coconut bagel with Apple Cinnamon CC, Jalapeno with Veggie CC, and my personal hangover cure "Sausage, bacon, taylor ham, and cheese." Also the coffee is great too. I've noticed it's better in the morning, than the afternoon, so they probably stop brewing pots early and keep it out. So if you want the best cup, come in early. It's hard to be in a bad mood after starting the morning here. read more

Really good bagels. Loved the old bay & salt bagel. Veggie cream cheese was delicious & bagel breakfast sandwiches yummy too. Also tried the chicken salad on old bay bagel- so good but I could only eat half because it was a lot of food. Hubby had turkey on bagel and liked as well. It's busy but they are really fast and move people in and out quickly. It's a must try if you like bagels. read more

I LOVE BAGELS and so do they!!! This place has it going on. They take ordered quickly, have your mind made up before you approach the counter. It's all fresh and yummy. Toasted is light, ask for it toasted twice if you like some color on your bagel. read more

First time here. Great bacon, egg, and cheese on a wheat bagel!! Really good amount of bacon. Beach atmosphere. Will definitely be back!! read more

Good bagel sandwiches at cheap prices. Went on a Saturday morning, so it was fairly busy. There is a wide-range of items and fresh bagels to choose from. I ordered an Everything bagel with egg and turkey. The bagel was a bit salty, but was good overall. In the future, I might order the same combination but with a plain bagel. read more

Best breakfast in town. Bagel sandwiches were huge and delicious. White fish spread is not for everyone, but if you are a fish lover it is a hearty start to a beach day. We bought half a dozen bagels on our way home and enjoyed them the next few days. Wish we bought a dozen. read more

Can't believe people from Jersey, PA, and VA say these bagels are the best. I've gotten better at the grocery store. Bagles are too soft and not good enough to put cream cheese on. Will never go there again! read more
