A Solid Bagel Stop in Lewes I've eaten at Surf Bagel before, so on the way home from a recent business trip I decided to stop again and grab breakfast to go. I ordered a sesame bagel with egg, cheese, and scrapple, along with a hash brown. The bagel was nicely toasted and very fresh, which is really what you hope for when you're stopping at a place that specializes in bagels. The sandwich itself was simple but very satisfying. Nothing over the top or crazy fancy, just a well made breakfast sandwich that hit the spot. The service was friendly and quick, and the place itself has a unique feel to it. Inside they sell quite a bit of Surf Bagel merchandise, which gives it a fun local vibe beyond just being a bagel counter. I included a few photos because the shop has a cool look to it. I stopped in around 9 in the morning and it was still pretty busy, even during the off season. That tells me this place probably gets packed during the summer months. Overall, everything was fresh, the staff was nice, and it's definitely a place I'd stop at again when I'm in the area. read more

Ordered gf bagel toasted breakfast sandwich. Bagel was still frozen and soggy. Unedible. Also, I feel like all their stuff just taste like seed oils like when you get the bacon or egg it's just smothered in oil. This location also needs to be remediated and renovated. read more

UPDATE: Surf Bagel reached out to discuss my complaint and they resolved the issue! i just purchased a breakfast sandwich at the lewes location (double egg and meat), drove home without checking and this is what I received. Seriously?!? if the restaurant is going to upcharge for the extras then the customer should receive what they paid for. Not the first time quality control seems to be an issue. If you patronize this location, check your order before you leave. read more

Always a great experience at Surf Bagel! My only wish is that they'd switch to better gluten free bagels like some of the other bagel shops we love. Overall it's always delicious! And great for a quick bite. I don't go as much as I used to because I started making my own GF bagels. But when we're in a pinch I'm happy to stop here! read more

This is a great option for very good bagels near the Five Points intersection in Lewes! My wife and I shared the nova lox and cream cheese bagel (plain). One son had the breakfast burrito, and the other son had a steak and egg bagel (plain). Everyone was pleased with the bagels which had a nice texture overall. Parking can be a bit crazy on Sunday mornings when it's super-busy, so be sure to pack your patience. The interior has limited seating but most folks are here to pickup their "grab-n-go" bagel sandwich orders. read more

Love coming to Surf Bagel anytime we are in town. They have the best bagels and burritos! I usually get the bacon egg and cheese bagel, lox and cream cheese with capers or the beach burrito. The beach burrito has avocado, spinach, egg and cheese. It's a big portion. Sometimes I can save half a bagel for another meal. The kids like the chocolate chip bagel. The inside is decorated with a beachy bagel theme. There are seats and booths inside and also outdoor seating. My husband loves their ice coffee. Will be back again! read more

What isn't there to say about surf bagel? This is our first stop on the way into Rehobeth every year. We stop another time and then have breakfast on the way. Out of town! There bagels are perfection! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Whether you toasted or not, it is exactly what you want in a bagel. Let's not forget about the cream cheese. Our favorites are scallion and vegetable. My dad wanted to try something new this year so he got the apple cake which hit the spot. It was full of apple slices and with a sweet treat, he was looking for. The lines may be long, but they are efficient and your order gets called within minutes. With multiple locations, you can hit up a surf bagel when you're in the area! The location in Lewes is lots of fun with tables outside. read more

Different Cheesesteak'esque sandwich #1193. I got a steak, egg and cheese on everything bagel. November Saturday morning and this place was busy. I liked the surfer decor and names for everything. I read the menu (in my head) in a Keanu Reeve's surfer dude voice. I liked that my sandwich was $8.50. The Chicago dog special looked interesting. I'm curious about the everything bagel roll. My sandwich was good enough. It was a little dry. read more

I gotta say they were bought out by a local restaurant conglomerate, and opened more stores, the quality went down hill, all bagels are very lightly done, like factory bagels, and the soft center with a nice crunch is GONE, too bad read more

I do not understand the reason that Surf Bagel has 'vegan-friendly' in their description when it only applies to creamers for coffee? Usually, many vegans are looking for food that is vegan-friendly and not just a selected item just to say 'vegan friendly'. Very mis-leading label IMO, unless they did not write the description??? read more

Stopped in here with my family for a weekend bagel breakfast during the off-season (early November). There was no line but still a plethora of offerings -- bagels, bagel sandwiches, freshly squeezed juices, and other baked goods. It was hard to decide between a sweet or savory bagel, as well as what type of coffee to order (because there were so many options). The bagels we ordered were fresh with the perfect chew. The cream cheese to bagel ratio was spot on. We noticed a bunch of adorable merchandise available for purchase and ample room for seating both indoors and outdoors. The staff here was friendly and worked quickly to put out orders through. Definitely a great place to stop in for a breakfast or lunch sandwich! read more

The quality of the bagels are mediocre at best. Bacon was awful and returned. I'll just drive into OC and order from Uber Bagel, now thats a bagel!!! read more

Bottom Line: Solid option for a quick breakfast. Surf Bagel in Lewes is a great stop for a quick breakfast or lunch. My husband and I stopped in to get bagel breakfast sandwiches and coffee on a cold rainy morning and we enjoyed our meal. The bagels were freshly made and our sandwiches were made to order. I had a sausage, egg and cheese on Egg bagel which was hearty and satisfying. We enjoyed our breakfast at one of the booths inside Surf Bagel and we were plenty entertained watching patrons come and go. Most people dashed in to pick up their call ahead orders and others placed an order to go. In addition to bagels, Surf Bagels also offers breakfast burritos, deli sandwiches and smoothies. For a bagel shop and deli, the menu has quite a bit of variety. I look forward to trying more items on my next visit. read more

It's Saturday morning around 10 am, I had my first (yes first) Surf Bagel sandwich, with I might say did NOT disappoint!! I joined the loyalty program, and will definitely be back for more. The guys (3) that I dealt with today from ordering, helping join loyalty program and given points after ordering, to pick up; all employees were amazingly friendly and professional. Thank you gentleman for your amazing experience!! read more

First off...if you are looking for your typical NY bagel deli...this is not it. That is why NY is NY and Delaware is Delaware. It's a different culture and environment. If you are expecting a NY deli, it's not Surf's fault. It's yours. You have to accept where you are. You won't find a NY steakhouse in Delaware, either. That said, the bagels here are extremely good and their food is excellent. I do wish they offered omelettes, however. What really makes Surf five stars for me is the staff. They are all incredible--friendly, engaging, welcoming and will always do whatever necessary to make customers happy. You can't (and shouldn't) expect any more from a bagel shop. My family and I think they're terrific. read more

My daughter and I visited twice while on vacation to pick up breakfast. They have a nice little patio seating area outside that you can enjoy. They have many employees working to fill ordered quickly and efficiently. My daughter got a chocolate chip bagel with peanut butter and I got the same but with a blueberry bagel. Both toasted. I wait wasn't long and the staff was friendly. Overall, out experience was good and the bagels were tasty. read more

I love Surf Bagel, it's the closest I've come to a bagel since back home. Coffee is always good! I usually get and everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese, very good.

The bagels were delicious. We ended up going every morning for bagels and sandwiches before the beach

What happened to Surf Bagel's bagels? They are small and hard. They used to be soft on the inside and puffy. Hard on the outside ! They don't freeze well. It's so disappointing. When we moved here 13 years ago, they were almost as good as Jersey bagel. The supermarkets have better ! Sad! read more

Surf Bagel used to have great bagels - and while it was always a little hectic getting your order - the actual bagels made it worth it. We order bagels online and when we got home it was not what we paid for and the quality was not the same. read more

I stopped by the serve bagel in Lewis this morning. I live off of Route 9 so I come in the back way and the back parking lot to get in to serve bagel in. Louis is absolutely horrendous. There are holes all over the place. Please have somebody go out there and fix the holes people are gonna wreck their cars that the holes are so big. I'll probably stop going there cause it's easier for me to go in the back way from nine then go all the way around down to one and making a U-turn so please keep me posted if you can read more

I think this is my favorite bagel of all time... Surf bagel makes the most delicious chewy and soft bagels I've ever had. Also for a bagel shop that has a wide variety of sandwiches and other food items it's super impressive how well they execute all around. Their bagel sandwiches are killer and so reasonable, it's hard to pass up. They're so good I'd recommend getting a dozen and freezing them! read more

The French toast bagel is so delicious. The chicken salad is phenomenal. I make sure to stop here every time I'm in the area.

(This is for the Long Neck peeps). I love Surf Bagel. They are the only ones able. To make a bagel great. Of salt is the best bagel yet. With a huge spread of cream cheese. Spread for me which does nothing but please. And those breakfast potatoes. They have no foes. I love SB moved to Long Neck, knowing my salt bagel was so far away made me a wreck. Now, just a hop, skip and a jump. No longer a bagel grump. No, I'm a surfing fool. Because Surf Bagels rules. read more

Great place down the beach! An assortment of Bagels to be had by all! Stopped in on our way home! Bagels were so tasty! Coffee was HOT and flavorful! Has an order ahead option online! Crazy busy in season! Can't wait to order from again on our next visit! I'll snap pictures next time as I was too hungry and just devoured my everything bagel toasted with butter! read more

These are seriously good bagels. I got the SLT - house made salmon bacon, tomato, lettuce, avocado . . . on toasted wheat berry bread. I know . . . no bagel? Not on the sandwich. It was hard to eat. The avocado slipped around, the "bacon" fell out, but it was really really tasty. The bacon was a little fishy and salty compared to lox, but it was good. I would definitely order it again. I wasn't impressed with the bread, it didn't have many wheat berries so it was missing the crunch. We got there closer to lunch than breakfast and some of the bagel flavors were sold out. I did get a half dozen including Old Bay, everything, and blueberry. All of the bagels were good. That perfect combination of soft and chewy. Coffee was good. Service was excellent. Prices are steep, but typical of the beach scene. read more
