Free coffee! Did that get your attention?

Saturday, September 29, is National Coffee Day 2018 — and the calendar's latest marketing holiday is full of free coffee offers and other coffee deals. Restaurant chains like Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, and Caribou Coffee all have special National Coffee Day deals today. Not every coffee shop is participating in National Coffee Day though: Starbucks, for instance, does not have free coffee or any other special offers today.

Even so, one way or another, you shouldn't be paying for coffee today! Here are all the places you can get free coffee on National Coffee Day 2018.

Krispy Kreme

All Krispy Kreme customers get a free coffee on Saturday, no purchase required.
