Surf Bagel Midway

I love this bagel shop. The bagels were delicious!!! The staff are friendly and helpful. There are many bagel flavors, cream cheese flavors, and coffee to chose from! I loved all the variety this shop offered. They also sell cream cheese containers to go. The jalapeño cream cheese was really good - not spicy. The bagels were soft. The cream cheese was soft and creamy. We also tried the breakfast burrito which was good as well! Next time I would order less peppers, but that is a personal choice. Overall this is a delicious spot to try for breakfast!

Do I talk about the food or the service first? They are both equally great so it’s a tough call. Let’s go with service though. I typically order ahead via their website. When I walk in, most of the staff knows me, and they quickly hand me my order and I am out the door about as fast as I walked in. Yes, this is a relatively small town and it’s not hard to learn who your repeat customers are, but they do it with a smile and smiles are contagious in the mornings. It’s a great way to start off your day. So I really appreciate it. I am a bit of a creature of habit, meaning I get the same thing just about every time. The food is always perfect and as expected. That consistency is also a great way to start the day. I appreciate the staff and everything they do. Thank you.

UPDATE: The price of the bagel sandwich I normally get has risen by $1 from $6.50 to $7.50. They are attributing it to the price of eggs increasing.

My family and I get take out from surf bagel 2-3 times a month and very occasionally dine in. Over 13+ years this adds up to lots of visits and I’ve never left a review- mostly because I don’t leave reviews often but my most recent visit there is the reason it’s time to give some feedback. Many times we order bagel sandwiches; five different kinds with specific modifications, just a wild little ticket for the kitchen. Always on point! Last weekend our order was simple; a bakers dozen bagels and two pints of chicken salad. (The best! FYI) A family member picked up the order which was short one pint of chicken salad. Seriously no big deal, slightly inconvenient since we wanted it that day, but life is good if that’s your day, ya know? I called and left a message with my name, the issue, and the order number; within ten minutes a manager (Stacy or Lizzie?) called back, and kindly went above and beyond what was necessary to remedy the situation. She treated it like it was important to her to make sure we felt taken care of. None of this surprises me, but it definitely should be acknowledged, especially since people tend to write these long winded reviews only when they’re mad. I was never mad. Nothing that happened before I talked to the manager would have changed the frequency we get breakfast or lunch from Surf Bagel, but I was so grateful for their true, professional hospitality that I experienced in that 90 second phone call. Surf Bagel somehow made me love them more after a little mixup- that’s top tier. Now if you’ve made it this far; faves include the salt or everything bagel, veggie cream cheese, the chicken salad (obviously), the hash browns, pizza bagels, the spinach salad, swell Joe coffee, the pressed juices! Everything!
