GroundSwell Surf Café

My family and I have been visiting here for a couple of years now and we like it a lot. My wife likes the Açaí bowl and I love the lifeguard sandwich. My sandwich always has two sausage patties and I love that. Thanks

I LOVE this place but today I waited 10 minutes at the door while several staff milled about inside. At some point someone called to me to say someone would be with me shortly— no one did— so I took a seat. Another few minutes went by and a guy on a bike pulled up to the door and was served right away. I got up and went to the door and the person who took his order looked at me and went back inside. Then I could hear her having a dialog about the mysterious inventory of muffins. I get it, it sounded like a weird situation, but I had been waiting there for so long already! She did not come back, so I left. I was pretty disappointed because I drove 20 minutes to get there and was looking forward to what is usually a fantastic cup of coffee by the ocean. You can do better!!

Where else can you get Acai bowl??!! AND with an ocean view!!

The location and ambiance of this place can make up for any other shortcomings, so I've bumped it up to 4 stars.

Did you dream of being able to put your laptop on a desk, work for a couple of awesome hours with your feet in the sand and overlooking the ocean whenever you look away from the screen? well the few people who live nearby can enjoy that luxury, but if you're visiting then put your laptop away and enjoy the awesome view and the cool atmosphere any time of the day.

This place is amazing on a sunny quite morning in the fall like when I visited, and would be cool on a busy evening at sunset as well, however, when it comes to food and coffee, don't get your hopes up too high!

I've ordered an Americano and a breakfast sandwich with avocados, the avocados were very tough and under ripe, the regular american coffee they had was a bit too watered down for my taste, and the Americano was good enough but not that great, if it wasn't for its location this place would've certainly earned a lower rating.

Some items are on the pricy side as expected in a touristic area, but some are really affordable, like juices, sodas, and breakfast bagel sandwiches (skip the avocados though!).

Overall, I think this would make a lovely end to a walk on the beach and I would probably visit it again, not only for it's location, but also seeing that it has very little competition for morning customers like me in the area.

My friend got a breakfast sandwich and I got a smoothie. Both were excellent. The staff very friendly. I will definitely be back.

Great coffee, healthy options, and right on the sand witha great view! Friendly staff too!
It is a must if you're in the area.

Even though I have 100% written proof of what they did, I'm not allowed to post it because they threatened legal action when I said the same thing on Yelp. But feel free to message me here and I will show you the proof. I will simply say be wary of these people

Friendly service, solid coffee/espresso, and great food options from smoothies and acai bowls to hearty breakfast sandwiches. Great value for all the yummy and healthy ingredients they use!

Every year I come on vacation to Salisbury and I look forward to visiting my favorite coffee shop. Great coffee, service and beach front view. Can't wait until next year!

Great place for breakfast sandwiches on the ocean!!
