National Coffee Day 2025 freebies and deals at Dunkin’, Krispy Kreme, Starbucks and more

Monday, Sept. 29 is National Coffee Day. To celebrate, many coffee shops are giving away free coffee and have bargains on coffee drinks and specials on coffee and machines to make drinks at home.

Coffee pricesย may be rising, but the pick-me-up remains a daily ritual for two-thirds of Americans. Withย National Coffee Dayย brewing on Monday, Sept. 29, many coffee shops will be serving up freebies and specials for those who love coffee.

Coffeeโ€™s popularity remains secure with 66% of Americans saying they drink at least one cup daily, up nearly 7% from 2020, according to a survey from theย National Coffee Association, released ahead of National Coffee Day. Most coffee drinkers consume more – about 2.8 cups daily – according to a survey of 1,862 U.S. adults conducted in June 2025 for the group byย Dig Insights.

While grabbing coffee on the run remains high โ€“ 36% of coffee drinkers consume the beverage away from home โ€“ most (82%) had the beverage at home over the past day, the survey found.

โ€œCoffeeโ€™s staying power as a beloved touchstone in Americansโ€™ daily lives is remarkable, and its contributions to our health and our economy give Americans even more โ€˜grounds for celebrationโ€™ this National Coffee Day and every day,โ€ said National Coffee Association president and CEO Bill Murray in the surveyโ€™s news release.
