National Coffee Day 2020: Where to Find Deals & Freebies

It’s National Coffee Day 2020! About 62 percent of U.S. adults start their day with that coveted burst of caffeine and more than half of Americans say they prefer a freshly-brewed cup of joe over ready-to-drink coffee, according to statistics from the National Coffee Association.

The coffee holiday is celebrated every year on September 29 and many retailers are getting in on the fun. Read on for information about how some of the country’s larger chains are participating.

Dunkin’ Donuts

Dunkin’ Donuts declared on its social media accounts that it was taking over National Coffee Day and renaming it National Dunkin’ Day. Customers can pick up a medium hot or iced coffee for free at any Dunkin’ location, provided they buy something else on the menu to go with it. A spokesperson confirmed with Heavy via email that all restaurants nationwide are offering this discount.

Customers are limited to one free coffee. According to Dunkin’s news release, the deal excludes Nitro Cold Brew and Cold Brew. Adding an espresso shot or flavoring may be an additional charge. The deal is not available on delivery apps and cannot be combined with other rewards or coupons.
