I love when we find out about different national holidays that come up, just as National Bagel Day. In celebration of National Bagel Day, NJ.com makes a list of the best bagels in the state and ranks them accordingly.

I swear, there’s no better place to spend National Bagel Day than right in New Jersey. In fact, spending it more specifically in Mercer County is apparently the best way to go about it.

With that being said, I feel like we all are bagel connoisseurs at this point and can appreciate a good rankings list from fellow New Jerseyans. Here are the 5 shops that are getting recognition right now and that for sure need to be on your list for breakfast on National Bagel Day.
