Should've given 0 stars. Overpriced, the owner is rude to employees but nice to customers and has no idea what she's doing. Zero kitchen experience. You can see fruit flies coming from the kitchen if you use the bathroom. If you want to pay $12 for a smoothie with what tastes like rotten bananas in it and $15 for a piece of toast with maybe a couple tablespoons of avocado on it then go here. I would seriously recommend any other cafe but this one. Maybe even IHOP.

Swell is a fantastic new restaurant in Ocean City! They've been open a couple months and today was our first visit. Cold brew coffee was excellent and smooth; I drank it black. 4 of us had Breakfast panini on sourdough or multi grain and we added spinach to and it was deliciously crispy and filling. Two us had acai bowls and they were very pleased with the creamy icy acai and generous amount of fruit. We will be back!

The coffee and menu are both great! The staff is always friendly. The only downfall is the wait time.

Fantastic organic coffee, great breakfast sandwiches on REAL sourdough bread and gluten feee options! A bit pricey (my husband was still hungry after the breakfast sandwich) but all in all a great experience. Also love they use nontoxic hand soap in the bathroom ! (everyone brand) :)

Their breakfast sandwiches on brioche were delicious, but the way the owners went out of their way to help my wife and I says all you need to know about the folks who run this spot. I had screaming children in the car and my wife and I hadn't eaten all morning, and they prioritized our order to help us out. That kind of compassion and kindness would keep me coming back for a lifetime (if only we didn't live 600 miles away!). Do yourself a favor and stop by this gem of a spot to support some great people and enjoy some really good food or coffee.

I had the avocado/ feta cheese toast, and it was delicious and filling! Add to that the coffee that has the true coffee essence, and the meal was superb! We’ll return to this little gem of a cafe.

Wow! I’m obsessed with this café ! The ambiance is so beautiful and the food/drinks are superb! My husband, mom and I came here on weekend and we were blown away by the amazing service and just out of this world food and drink quality. Lina, the owner is just the sweetest woman in the world and so so talented at what she does! Def recommend the banana whip as it’s definitely the best I’ve ever had! If you’re in the OC area, don’t miss out on this amazing café!

Excellent breakfast panini, granola, and latte. Beautiful ambience and exceptional service. Will definitely return to try the avocado toast and smoothies. We need a swell cafe near 34th street in OC!
