The Surf Bagel on NE Front Street in Milford has opened. This is the first expansion of the popular breakfast and lunch restaurant since SoDel Concepts purchased it about a year ago.

Brothers Dave and Tom Vitella founded the bagel business near Five Points in 2004. They opened a second location at Midway in 2017.

SoDel Concepts, a Rehoboth Beach-based hospitality company with 18 business operations under its umbrella, acquired Surf Bagel in 2021. The company announced in March it was expanding to Milford.

Located in the same shopping center as Arena’s, the food menu for Milford’s Surf Bagel remains true to the originals – bagels, sandwiches, wraps, coffees. There is one difference – alcohol is also served. That menu includes beers from a collection of local breweries – Thompson Island, Dewey Beer, Mispillion, Big Oyster – as well as wine and mimosas.

Surf Bagel in Milford, 204 NE Front St., is open 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., seven days a week. For more information, call 302-503-3629 or go surfbagel.com. For information on SoDel Concepts, go to sodelconcepts.com.
