“ Swell is a fantastic new restaurant in Ocean City! Theyve 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! ”
