Bagel lovers rejoice! National Bagel Day is upon us, with plenty of chains offering ways to celebrate the beloved New York delicacy.

Celebrated every January 15, National Bagel Day honors the breakfast staple, which originated in the 13th century from the Polish word “bajgiel” and Yiddish “beygal,” both translating to ring-shaped bread. In the 19th century, the food made its way to the United States.

To celebrate the holiday, many brands are offering deals and discounts — regardless of whether fans prefer a sweet cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese, a savory bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich, or just a plain bagel with cream cheese.

Here are the best deals being offered on National Bagel Day.
