SURF BAGEL CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF THE BEST BAGELS AROUND

On Sunday, April 14th, 2024 Surf Bagel will celebrate 20 years in business. The flagship location was opened by Dave and Tom Vitella in 2004. The two brothers combined their love of surfing and good food to bring authentic. New York style bagels to Lewes. Over the last 20 years, Surf Bagel has grown into a beloved brand in Delaware and beyond; known for making the best bagels around in a fun, laid back environment.  

Surf Bagel Lewes will kick off the celebration on Saturday, April 13th and continue the fun into Sunday, the 14th. The weekend will feature a special birthday cake bagel, surprise giveaways - and of course, fresh baked bagels.  

For everyone who shares the stoke for Surf Bagel, there will be a limited-edition 20th Anniversary t-shirt that brings back a 2000s Surf Bagel vibe. Perfect for both the longtime and new Surf Bagel goers who embrace the laid back, Coastal Delaware lifestyle.  

“We are really proud to carry on the legacy that Dave and Tom started back in 2004”. Said Matt Patton, vice president of Surf Bagel. “We are stoked to see all the awesome people in our community who have supported Surf Bagel over the years stop by to celebrate with us.”  

While Surf Bagel is known for making the best bagels around, the team is most proud of the contributions they have been able to make to the communities they serve in Southern Delaware. From sponsoring little league teams, to feeding Boardwalk Buddywalk goers, Surf Bagel is a trusted community partner;  committed to giving back to the awesome athletes, organizations, and schools that have supported Surf Bagel for 20 years.
