This is one of our most favorite local spots. You definitely have to get there early to get the good stuff, but it is so worth it. Their bagels, sandwiches and coffee are so delicious! If you enjoy a place with good service, beach vibes, and great food this is it. 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

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

(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

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

This place can be a mad house in the morning but it's definitely worth the wait. The bagels are awesome, my personal favorite is the sun dried tomato bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese. 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.

I didn't have high hopes, coming from NJ, which of course is the bagel capital of the country, but I was pleasantly surprised. The bagels were very good, the breakfast sandwiches were delicious and the lines move quickly. read more

When I was looking for places to eat for our vacation, I happened to see the selection at surf bagel and had to try it. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a French toast bagel and it was TO DIE FOR. I'm traveling with a big group, so we ordered 10 bagels online and they had them all done in just 20 minutes. They have their own door for pickup, so I was in and out in about a minute. Definitely check it out if you're in the area. (I didn't get a picture cause it looked too good and I had to eat it right away) read more

These were really good but they aren't a New York bagel. They could use a little more salt and a crisper exterior but are far superior to anything else I have gotten so far in Delaware. Today we did a plain bagel with sausage, egg, cheese and avacado with scallion cream cheese. The total was $8.10. Everything was tasty but the cream cheese was really melty. It still had good flavor but it caused the other ingredients to try and slip out. This was a minor issue as everything was tasty. We will absolutely be back to try more. They also provide a military discount. read more

Came here before heading to Cape Henlopen with some friends ! I've read so many good reviews about this place that I had to check it out for myself :) I got a bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The bagel itself was fluffy and very good. You can tell that they are super fresh. My sandwich overall was amazing. There was so many people there eating bagels and enjoying their mornings -- such a chill beach vibe to the place which I love ! Def. Will have to come back when we head down to beach :) read more

Fair warning, these are NOT New York bagels. But despite that, they taste pretty good! The bagels are small, but they have an overall chewy texture that makes the bagels taste fresh and very easy to eat. Not bad. They also make their bagels on site, bonus points for that! The service is also pretty good and the employees are nice. If you order a lunch item you get their homemade chips which for the most part also taste pretty good. I definitely feel this is how you can make a bagel without having to feel you have to go all New York on it. read more

Stopped in for a half dozen bagel. Staff was not too friendly. The bagels were delicious. We opted for jalapeño+ poppy + sesame and one old bay to give it a try. The old bag was definitely different. Our group was split on it- half enjoyed the other half did not. Definitely will return for bagels. read more

Nom nom nom! If you're in the area and this place is open... stop now and grab something (either eat it now or save it for later) this place is amaze balls! Stopped by during our Delaware beach trip and it was well worth the wait (both for the uturn to get into the parking lot with TONS of oncoming traffic and the wait in line). I had the chicken salad sandwich on a garlic bagel and it changed my standard for bagel sandwiches! Can't say enough good things about how friendly the staff was and how DELICIOUS the food was! read more

Great bagel price! The bagels are fluffy and tasted great. I got the breakfast jalapeño bagel with bacon, cheese and egg with a side of homefries. When I opened the wrapper, it was oozing out with cheese. Homefries were also fried to perfection and seasoned so well...couldnt tell what it was season with, but imagine salty and garlicy crispy homefries. read more

Food was amazing. Free refills on coffee was a bonus. Will definitely be back again. Will definitely be back again

Delicious bagels! There are so many flavors - garlic , spinach, jalapeño, even chocolate chip. I tried the Malibu Bunny breakfast sandwich on a garlic bagel and was not disappointed. The bagel was so soft but slightly chewy and it has a great flavor. I substituted lox spread for veggie cream cheese and it was really good. The only downside is that the sandwich was really thick so you have to be careful when eating and I also didn't like the combination of cream cheese and avocado. I would want to try other bagel flavors too! read more

Always crowded so be prepared to wait. Flip side is you are waiting for great bagels and sandwiches

the bagels don't taste the way the used to, I'm not sure why. drier and not as sweet as a bagel should be. I'm wondering if something has changed n the recipe or preparation. read more

My favorite bagel spot ever hands down. Every time I'm in Lewes I come for breakfast. The bagels are always fresh and the choices are endless. The smoothies are also delicious- my favorite is the mango and the hulk. My favorite bagel is French toast or the everything bagel. Their merch is really cool and great quality. The line here is always long because it's so popular but it moves so quickly and efficiently. You must check it out, you won't be sorry! read more

Surf Bagel - Everything bagel with lox spread-tomato & onion - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

NJ/NY people have a rep for being snobby about our bagels. So when my friend was bragging about Surf Bagel, I was skeptical. "Delaware" and "great bagels" never seemed to fit into the same sentence. I took my first bite into an old bay bagel smothered in lox cream cheese and was immediately converted! The bagel was huge, soft, and doughy. You know when you can taste the homemade? Yeah, that's what this bagel tastes like. The old bay seasoning on the bagel complemented the fishy taste of the lox spread. (While you can also just order lox with regular cream cheese, I recommend trying the spread, which has actual bites of lox in the pretty, pink mixture.) After my first bite, I knew I would have to take some of these home with me. They have a wide assortment of flavors, from your standard plain, egg, whole wheat... to some more adventurous bagels, including spinach, old bay, and (my family's personal favorite) the "beggy" - an egg bagel with bacon bits in it! If you're not feeling the classic BEC, they offer a variety of cream cheese spreads, such as sundried tomato and raisin-apple cinnamon (and the lox, my personal favorite). They even sell their own, house-roasted coffee! By the name of Swell Joe's, their roastery is located just a few doors down from the bagel shop. Surfer or no surfer, you need to check this place out if you're beaching in DE!! read more

Parking lot was absolutely packed got inside very short line (2 lines) people everywhere from the time I ordered to the time I had my food was six minutes unbelievably good so impressed with how efficient they are here. Food is always fantastic. Bravo. read more

If you love bagels, then this is the place. It can be very busy but they know how to get it done! Highly recommended for bagel lovers.

I read a few reviews before trying Surf Bagel. One review described the actual bagel, which is very important for me. So, bought one plain and one everything bagel. How great they were. Went back for a half dozen. You won't be disappointed. Now I won't have to go to New York so often. read more

Really great food. So much variety on the menu! Be prepared to wait for a bit as it is very popular. We tried to order online but that option gets turned off when it gets busy (completely understandable) so by the time we got everyone's order put in online, online ordering got shut off. Would definitely recommend! read more

I've been going to Surf for 10 years. I used to love it. Here's what changed - 1- Bagels are smaller 2- Bagels are dry now 3- Bagels don't seem as fresh as they used to be 4- I used to love when the bagels were warm even late morning. I haven't had a warm bagel there in a long time I miss the old Surf read more

The food was good but just don't get the smoothies. At least in my experience, my friends and I ordered smoothies and got them 10 min later and they were completely melted. Also, the smoothies just don't taste good. they taste like juice. they were also 8 dollars each which was a lot. we threw them out :( read more

I'm that person - came to place called Surf Bagel for breakfast and neither wanted breakfast food nor a bagel. I asked if I could order off the lunch menu and was kindly told that I could order any of the cold items, so I ordered a Tuna Kahuna, which is their homemade albacore tuna salad, 3 cheese melt, with pineapple. I got it on multigrain bread. It was soooo good. I honestly considered ordering a second sandwich. Because it was a lunch menu item, the sandwich also came with homemade potato chips and a pickle. My boyfriend also ordered a breakfast sandwich, which took a while to cook. One of the guys at the counter noticed he had been waiting a while, and made sure to follow up on his order, which came out immediately afterwards. Both the service and food here were excellent and I'll definitely be back next time to try their bagels! read more

Fresh, local, and they don't run out of popular flavors like Everything (our favorite). The Nova lox and cream cheese bagel was enough for two. Busy, strip mall location, but the decor inside and out gives the shop a laid-back, surf vibe. Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

I have been eating here for years. It is a slower lower Delaware tradition. The bagels are fresh, breakfast sandwiches are great, many coffee selections and they they often have fresh squeezed orange and grapefruit juice. It can get busy, but the counter service line goes very fast. I recommend an Old Bay Bagel breakfast sandwich with two eggs and scrapple. Mmmmm! Good! read more
