I don’t normally stop at this location of Surf Bagel in Lewes, but I was pleasantly surprised! The service and food are just as great as at their other locations. They have a large seating area, both inside and outside on the patio, so when the weather is nice in the spring and summer, you can enjoy your breakfast in the fresh air. I love that they also have a variety of branded merchandise for sale.
I usually go for the bacon, egg, and cheese on a wheat everything bagel, and it’s always delicious. The staff is super friendly and ensures you’re in and out quickly. Plus, they offer a variety of brewed coffees to complement your meal. Definitely worth a visit!

So bummed- Been going here for years. Loved this place. Wish the old owner was still running it, it was the best in town. Can’t believe I paid 15$ for this shrimp burrito, or lack there of. it was rough when they got rid of the homemade chips but damn, you can’t ruin the burritos too!

Great vibes here. Coffee sold is from the fresh roasted beans next door. Some of the best bagels I have ever had. Can’t speak to the sandwich lunch options they offer. A little pricey but certainly a nice treat every now and again.

Best bagels in town! Their bagels sandwiches are exceptional (im very partial to putting jalapeño cream cheese on whatever sandwich I get).. also the cream cheese made in house is fantastic. Great people, very friendly customer service pros. ❤️

We went around 10a on a Friday in December. The signage about where to park and where to walk in is confusing. The parking lot is shared and half has asphalt while the back side has pebbles. We initially went to the wrong parking lot and, once inside, walked to the wrong counter because we had an online order. The staff were not friendly or managed properly. Even though we got a text that our food was ready, we waited 10 minutes for staff to get our order. It’s confusing where things are, like napkins and utensils, and staff seemed too overwhelmed to help.
Our egg and cheese bagel had barely any egg.
Our bagel with lox spread, tomato, and onion had regular cream cheese. We asked them to remake it and got a bagel with lox and too much cold, hard cream cheese.
We also ordered the house salad with grilled chicken. The salad had too many purple onions and the chicken was shredded rotisserie meat with chunks of skin and brown meat – not a grilled chicken breast.
The home fries were not homemade.
We found it odd that there was no aroma of coffee like other bagel places.
Still, this place does very well and had a steady stream of customers. There is no other competition for decent enough bagels in the area. We thought maybe management isn’t very good during the off season in December. We will not be back.

Good place for a breakfast sandwich they cater mostly to bagels, but they have other options as well. Coffee is also good. Great location, right off the highway easy access.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Surf Bagel, but I need to talk about their hash browns. They’re great on a breakfast bagel sandwich, but do not get them in a to-go order as a side. We ordered them on Sunday and they were inedible, sodden, soft, grease sponges. It seems harsh, but the grease not only leaked through the foil, but through the paper SB bag and made a puddle inside of the reusable grocery bag in which I had placed our bag. I’m not exaggerating. Come on, SB! You’re better than that!

We stopped here on our way home from our trip to Lewes. The place was fairly busy. But it seems like they have their service down to a science. It didn’t take but a few minutes to get our order. The onion bagels and crean cheese was tasty. The bacon and egg on sesame seed bagel was good too. Definitely a great option if your semi limited on time.

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.

Great bagel sandwiches, good clean establishment, solid coffee. All in all, a great way to start the day.
