The bagel, like the circle from which it takes its shape, is a metaphor for life; it literally never ends. Unravel this culinary paradox with today's deal: for $6, you get $12 worth of bagels, sandwiches, salads, and more at any of Bagel Me!'s six locations in Anaheim Hills, Orange, Tustin, or Villa Park.

Grab a bagel ring for all 12 fingers ($10.95 a dozen), or grab an individual for a baby bracelet ($1.14 per bagel). Many toppings, cream cheeses, and spreads are also available. Although Bagel Me!'s name is both direct and delicious, the menu expands beyond the realm of the round. Breakfast items such as gooey cheddar and egg melts served alongside cinnamon baked apples ($4.19) and freshly blended smoothies ($4.39) will cause smiles at sunrise. Afternoon diners can hang fangs on tri-tip steak sandwiches such as the jalapeno-pineapple pairing, loaded liberally with caramelized onions, Tillamook cheddar, and monterey jack cheese ($7.49). Or fork up a variety of starters, such as Irish nachos based in French fries and topped with bacon, onions, cheddar and jack cheeses, and lucky wishes ($5.79).

Since 1995, Bagel Me! has been in the business of baking fresh bagels and shuffling up tasty decks of carbs for gracious guests across Orange County. All locations are open for foodie fixes seven days a week, and some crack their front doors as early as 6 a.m. on weekdays for rush-hour commuters and vampires in need of naptime nibbles.

• They have yummy bagels. Good spot to stop for breakfast. The omelet bagel is great. Coffee is really good with the bagels. They do a good job on the combinations of all kinds of bagels. – Abigail C., Insider Pages
• Taste was very good and the size of the bagels were [sic] much larger than other places. I returned the next day for a sandwich bagel and again was loving it. I only have good things to say about Bagel Me! – J S., Yelp
