I have a sweet tooth. No, that’s a lie. I have a lot of sweet teeth. But I always tell myself free food is calorie free, so thank goodness for all the free dessert you can find annually on National Dessert Day (which is my dad’s birthday, October 14).

To help you find the best place to find your free treats, we put together this list of National Dessert Day freebies and deals.

As always, we’re limiting this to national or large regional chains to keep the list neater. Your favorite restaurant may be hosting its own deal, but this list would be too cumbersome if we listed every local watering hole.
