For coffee drinkers, National Coffee Day is truly one of the most exciting days of the year. Popular coffee chains offer incredible deals and freebies on all of their most beloved drinks, keeping them caffeinated all day long practically for free. 

This year, National Coffee Day falls on Friday, September 29, so if you’re considering taking advantage of all of the free coffee headed your way, you may want to plan ahead to make sure you visit all of your favorite spots before the day is through.

Each time customers make a purchase through The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf app between September 29 and October 31, they have a chance to win free coffee and tea drinks for an entire year. Sixty winners will also be selected to win free drinks through the end of 2023 in honor of the brand’s anniversary.

Dunkin’

If you’re in search of a freebie on National Coffee Day, be sure to stop by your local Dunkin’, but not before you sign up for the Dunkin’ Rewards program.
