The love for coffee in America is soaring high once again as health restrictions ease and customers feel more comfortable ordering ahead, according to the National Coffee Association.

Starbucks ☕
How about a complimentary cup of Starbucks' famous Pike Place Market blend for you? Just swing by any US location carrying a clean, reusable cup, and enjoy a free brew, limited to 20 ounces. Starbucks recently reinstated their reusable cups program after putting it on pause during the pandemic.
Dunkin' ☕
Coffee lovers who are members of DD Perks savor a free medium or iced coffee on this special day. But remember, this is an exception for the freebie - it's only available to loyalty program members.

The Donut chain is back with another round of freebies! Enjoy coffee and donuts at US locations by being a member of their loyalty program. And as a bonus, non-members can still enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee!
Wawa ☕
No need to worry about the price tag here, Wawa is offering a generous helping of FREE coffee at approximately 900 locations along the East Coast, serving close to 2 million cups of coffee.

(Enrichment Data)
National Coffee Day, celebrated annually on September 29, has transformed into a major event in the coffee industry. Its origins are shrouded in mystery, but the day is now being utilized as a marketing tool by coffee shops and chains to increase sales and customer engagement.
Historically, National Coffee Day marked the end of tea-drinking after taxation, prompting the public to switch to coffee. Today's celebrations are more focused on the joy of coffee, including unique promotions tailored to the participating business and customer preferences. For instance, Scooter's Coffee offers free coffee on September 29 and 30, while other coffee shops around the country host exclusive events to attract customers and promote their brews.
