Two major coffee events are fast approaching, and retailers around the country are offering deals to celebrate the most caffeinated pair of holidays ever created. National Coffee Day is on September 29, and if that’s not enough bean appreciation for you, International Coffee Day is on October 1. Here’s where to get deals on coffee, on either one or both days.
Biggby Coffee
On September 29, any customer who walks into one of Biggby Coffee’s 360 locations will receive a free 20-oz. brewed coffee. The free drink can be upgraded in size or with flavor modifiers for an extra charge.
Black Rock Coffee
This Arizona-based chain with locations in seven states is offering all medium-sized coffee drinks for a discount price of $3.00 on National Coffee Day.
Circle K
The convenience store chain started its National Coffee Day celebration early: From September 25 to October 2, customers can get one free cup of coffee, any size, via the Circle K app. The offer is limited to one per customer but can be redeemed at any of Circle K’s 7,000 locations nationwide.
Dunkin’
Your National Coffee Day can run on Dunkin’, if you’re signed up for the brand’s rewards program. Loyalty members can get a free medium hot or iced coffee with any purchase on September 29. The promotion is limited to one per customer and excludes espresso beverages, cold brew, Nitro cold brew, and gift card purchases.
Krispy Kreme
Coffee and doughnuts make the perfect pairing, and Krispy Kreme knows it. To celebrate National Coffee Day, the doughnut chain is offering customers a free coffee, no purchase necessary.

From September 29 to October 1, Paris Baguette, the Seoul-based international cafe chain with more than 100 U.S. locations, is offering its rewards members one free medium hot or iced Lavazza coffee with any purchase.
Peet’s Coffee
The most interesting coffee deal this year is found at Peet’s Coffee. On National Coffee Day, Peet’s will be running a “Disloyalty Program” in which customers can redeem loyalty points they’ve earned from other major coffee chains’ rewards programs, like Starbucks or Dunkin’, for a free coffee at Peet’s. To take advantage of this “disloyalty” deal, customers will have to go to PeetsDisloyalty.com, sign up for Peet’s loyalty program (called Peetnik Rewards), and upload an image of the rewards points from competitors’ programs. Other accepted competitors for this offer include Dutch Bros, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Tim Hortons, Better Buzz, Joe & the Juice, Bluestone Lane, and The Human Bean.
Pilot Flying J
Keeping things simple, convenience chain Pilot Flying J will be offering any size of hot, iced, or cold brew coffee for free all day on September 29. The deal must be redeemed via the chain’s myRewards Plus app.

Forget National or even International Coffee Day—Scooter’s Coffee has been celebrating since September started.

White Castle
A combination of coffee and sliders might not sound like the best decision, but we’re not here to judge. On National Coffee Day, White Castle is offering a free small coffee with any purchase. The promotion runs until October 1 and can only be redeemed using a coupon posted to White Castle’s website and social media channels.
Wherever you find your cheap or free coffee this year, may the deals keep you buzzing well into the beginning of October.
