Panera is stacking the start of the year with comfort food, value and a little friendly competition.
The bakery-café chain is bringing back its fan-favorite Asiago Bagel Stacks to celebrate National Bagel Day on Jan. 15, while also debuting new Breakfast Bagel Stacks for $7.99, making them a hearty option for anyone looking to start the year with a protein boost.

The menu lineup includes returning favorites and new additions across breakfast, lunch and dinner. New breakfast options include the Wake-Up BLT Asiago Everything Bagel Stack, featuring Applewood smoked bacon, scrambled egg, vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh arugula and cheesy benedict sauce. The Farmhouse Duo Asiago Bagel Stack combines bacon and sausage with scrambled egg, while the Sausage and Egg Asiago Bagel Stack adds melty American cheese and garlic aioli.
To keep the good times rolling (or stacking), Panera also debuted its limited-edition tabletop stacking game, Stack & Spill, inspired by the towering look of the Asiago Bagel Stacks themselves. Designed with custom blocks that mirror the stacked sandwiches, the game is meant for cozy, casual gatherings and a little playful rivalry.

To introduce Stack & Spill, Panera teamed up with Bravo fan favorites and best friends Summer House’s Ciara Miller and Southern Charm’s Venita Aspen, who were among the first to try the game while enjoying Asiago Bagel Stacks.
“We’re all about chowing down and spilling the tea,” Miller and Aspen shared exclusively with PEOPLE. “We are obsessed with Panera’s new Stack & Spill game, it’s the perfect addition to our winter nights in and pairs perfectly with their Asiago Bagel Stacks, which are delicious and so satisfying.”
In additional celebration of the carb-forward holiday, Panera is also offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on Asiago Bagel Stacks. Guests who purchase one stack on National Bagel Day can receive a second stack of their choice for free using the code BOGOSTACK in-store and through the official Panera Bread app.
Stack & Spill will be available for a limited time at PaneraStacks.com, also for $7.99.
