Free Coffee, Discounts and Deals for National Coffee Day. Everything You Need to Know

One of my favorite days of the year is tomorrow! Sunday, Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day — a day when purveyors of all things joe get to honor our favorite beverage with special perks, including free coffee, drink deals, and discounted subscriptions. You’ll find deals from many of your favorite caffeine providers, such as Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts, Peet’s Coffee and Tim Hortons.

In many ways, coffee powers the US, since Americans drink about 517 million cups of coffee a day, according to the National Coffee Association. In fact, Americans drink coffee more than any other beverage — including water — and nearly 80% of us enjoy at least two cups a day, while more than half of us drink three or more. 

Though some restaurants and coffeehouses haven’t yet announced deals for 2024, many have, and we can predict the other offers you can expect to see, based on the deals we rounded up last year. Below, you’ll find this year’s best National Coffee Day freebies and offers.
