Everywhere You Can Get Free Coffee for National Coffee Day

We know a little about food holidays around here. There are a lot of them. Sometimes there are even more than one on the same day. They come with special menu items and deals and sometimes it gets a little complicated. Restaurants try to shoehorn themselves into the day and promotions are sometimes overly messy. (Still worth it, most times, though.)

National Coffee Day on September 29 is not a complicated day. There is basically one promotion happening, and it's almost the same anywhere you go. Free coffee. It's either totally free or the restaurant will tack on a free coffee when you make an order. That's kind of the deal everywhere you look. But you probably don't want to hit a spot that doesn't have free coffee on a day like this, so we've pulled together all the best offers for National Coffee Day from spots like Dunkin', Pret a Manger, Scooter's Coffee, and bunches more.
