National Coffee Day: Where you can get free or discounted coffee in Fresno
(NEXSTAR) — If you haven’t already developed a lifelong dependency to coffee, Friday just might be the day to reconsider!
In celebration of National Coffee Day on Sept. 29, popular coffee chains across the U.S. are treating their loyal customers to deals and discounts on coffee or espresso-based drinks. And for those of us who aren’t already addicted, it’s a chance to try a few fleeting, free sips of coffee — and perhaps become trapped in a cycle of caffeine addiction that will last the rest of our natural lives.
Want to know which chains are participating? Have a look below at some of National Coffee Day’s biggest promotions below.
How much should you tip on a takeout order?
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
Between Sept. 29 and Oct. 2, customers who make purchases or “check-in” at any Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf location — via the brand’s app — will be entered for a chance to win free beverages (one per day) for an entire year.
Dunkin‘
Participating Dunkin’ locations across the U.S. are offering a free hot or iced medium coffee with the purchase of any other beverage or bakery item on Friday.
Dutch Bros. Coffee
On Sept. 29, participating Dutch Bros. Coffee locations will be selling a limited-edition “Drink More Coffee” trucker hat. Anyone who purchases the $20 cap can get a free drink of their choice.
Krispy Kreme
Customers at participating Krispy Kreme locations can try the chain’s new drip coffee or espresso drinks (one per customer) for free on Sept. 29, no purchase necessary. Anyone who purchases a dozen doughnuts can also buy an additional dozen Original Glazed doughnuts for just $2 more.
Panera
In honor of National Coffee Day, new subscribers (or former subscribers) who sign up for Panera’s Unlimited Sip Club between Sept. 29 and Oct. 10 can join for $99 per year (a savings of approximately $20 over the regular annual rate) or $5 per month for four months (a savings of almost $7 per month).
Peet’s Coffee and Tea
Peet’s is rewarding “disloyal” customers on National Coffee Day: Folks who sign up for the brand’s Peetnik app can join its “Disloyalty Program,” where they can earn a free coffee by uploading a screengrab of a competing chain’s loyalty app (e.g., the Starbucks app, Dunkin’ app, etc.) to prove they’ve accrued loyalty points elsewhere. Peet’s will then reward this “disloyalty” with a free Peet’s beverage, redeemable Sept. 29 at participating locations.
Starbucks
While not offering any national deals on coffee or drinks, select Starbucks locations are said to be hosting coffee tastings on Sept. 29. (Customers are asked to inquire with their local shops to find out who may be participating.)
