Surf Bagel Fenwick — Restaurant in Fenwick Island

I took my nonverbal 21 year son Gus here. He loves their hot, fresh bagels and homemade cookies. It is clean and well organized and managed very well. The service is always exceptional. We try to go just when they open to avoid a lot of the crowds. Gus sometimes takes a few extra minutes to order and Sarah is always so kind and gives him the opportunity to achieve what most people take for granted which is to just order something on his own of his own choosing. She never gives him a side eye or a roll of an eye like lots of other places. She “sees” him and treats him with kindness and grace and respect. Sarah waited on Gus today and remembered him from the Starbucks where we used to go to order a lemon loaf. Today he ordered his cinnamon raisin bagel and cookie for breakfast and she could understand every word which made him so happy and confident. Thank you so much for this!! We will be back again and again! There is limited parking but lots of seating inside and outside. I highly recommend this place for a clean, delicious and friendly atmosphere where you feel...

I had a disappointing experience at this Surf Bagel location, which seemed poorly managed. There was a long line of customers waiting for their orders, and it took about 25 minutes to receive two bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches. Most of the coffee options were unavailable; I ordered a pumpkin spice coffee, but the dispenser was empty and wasn’t refilled during my visit. The operation felt chaotic, with no clear system in place. At one point, nearly 10 minutes passed without any orders being completed. The staff appeared disorganized, and there seemed to be no manager overseeing the team. One employee was consistently arguing with customers, blaming the crowd for the delays. Another customer’s order was taken without their knowledge, and the employee responded rudely, as if it was the customer’s fault. This led to noticeable frustration among customers. I recommend avoiding this location and visiting the Surf Bagel further south, which seems better equipped to handle...

Surf Bagel – Fenwick, DE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were down in Fenwick on vacation and figured we’d try Surf Bagel for breakfast—and it did not disappoint.

We grabbed three bagels: • One was a cinnamon raisin—simple, fresh, and perfectly chewy. • The second was my go-to: a whole wheat bagel, toasted, with scrapple, egg, and cheese. Solid, classic, and hit the spot. • And then there was the beast: an everything bagel loaded with bacon, egg, cheese, hash brown, avocado, scrapple, and pepper jack. That thing needed its own zip code. Delicious, but definitely a bring your appetite situation.

The bagels were fresh and flavorful, and the sandwiches were stacked just right—hearty without being greasy.

The place itself has a cool, laid-back vibe with a surfer twist. Clean, friendly, and the kind of breakfast joint that makes you wish you had one back home.

Would absolutely come back. If you’re anywhere near Fenwick, this place is...
