This National Coffee Day Freebies & Deals 2023 post has been updated with all the offers we can find. As we find more, we will continue to update this post, so be sure to come back to it.
For more, check out all of our coffee posts.
September 29 is National Coffee Day. Does this make you excited? It’s, probably, my favorite non-holiday holiday. I mean, it’s a holiday to coffee chains. But it’s not like Christmas. This is just a National Day turned celebration, and I’m here for it. I like it a lot more than, say, National Take Out Your Recycles Day.
Which I just made up to make a point.
Except I didn’t make it up.
It’s November 15. Seriously. That’s “America Recycles Day.”
I like recycling, I really do, but I like coffee so much more. And if you’re with me on that, you’re in luck. To celebrate National Coffee Day, there are a bunch of coffee shops and stores giving out free coffee and more. Check out the list we put together below to find this year’s National Coffee Day deals.
National Coffee Day is just one of the fun National Days that restaurants and shops celebrate annually. Check out our list of the Top 20+ National Days For Freebies And Deals to make sure you don’t miss any fun days this year.

Coffee Discounts:
A lot of coffee shops (and places that sell drinks) offer a discount when you bring your own travel mugs. Find out where you can save and how much you can save in that link above.
Coffee Drink Recipes:
If you like drinking coffee, you probably have a favorite way to drink it. If I’m at home, I drink coffee with a little bit of sugar and no milk or creamer.
But sometimes, I like to make my own fancy coffeehouse drinks. Because why not.
If you want to try a few, check out our list of coffee recipes below:
And, next time you’re at a hotel, try out our hack of How To Make The Perfect Mocha … In A Hotel.
Recipes Using Coffee:
You can actually use coffee as an ingredient in recipes too. So you’re not only drinking your coffee, you’re eating it. And that’s fine by me.
If you want to bake with coffee, try our Coffee Cake with Hazelnut Coffee Glaze and our Coffee And Chocolate Cupcakes.
Coffee Projects:
If you want to celebrate National Coffee Day by being a little crafty, I get it. I’ve actually made a few crafts that were coffee inspired.

Coffee Gifts:
If you have a coffee lover on your shopping list, you’re in luck. Just choose one of the gifts on our shopping lists below.
Or, if you’re the coffee lover, just send these lists over to anyone who wants to buy you a gift.
Purchase Coffee Online:
If this whole post has made you realize that you actually don’t have any coffee at home, you can order some from the following stores online:
Be mindful of a store’s minimum cart total to qualify for free shipping. Also, consider instore or curbside pickup to avoid shipping charges.
And, if all else fails, order through Instacart and have someone bring it to you.

I wish I had seen these earlier. National Coffee Day would be the perfect capper for the kind of week I have gone through. It's been kind of rough and coffee would help so much.
