I must tell you it’s a goof thing Charlie and I didn’t know National Coffee Day was today or you could bet we would be visiting anywhere we could get a FREEcup of Coffee. I have a question for you. Have you had your free Coffee this morning? If not I wanted to wish you Happy National Coffee Day! to tell you to not forget your Coffee this morning.

Once again if you haven’t had your coffee yet today, you’re not alone. Around our house, we’re actually planning a little National Coffee Day run later today. Yesterday, we had a $1-off drink coupon waiting for us at QT, but Charlie and I never made it there. We ended up at Sonic instead because, when you figure in the price of gas, Sonic’s Happy Hour was just as cheap.

Today, though? We’re not missing the coffee! If you have the QT app which Charlie and I have QT has a free coffee offer, and David has the app, Charlie has the app and now, I have the app so all three of us will be able to get out own cup of Coffee and a Soda as well.

So when David gets home, you can bet we’re going to QT. Would you want to go with us? And yes, we’re probably getting a soda, too. Because around here, you can never have too many beverages in the house! But we’re not keeping all the National Coffee Day savings to ourselves. Here are some of the coffee freebies and deals we’ve found for September 29, 2026.

Free Coffee on National Coffee Day

QT — Free Coffee- QT- is celebrating National Coffee Day with a free coffee offer through its app. Check your QT app for the offer and make sure you’ve clipped or activated it before heading to the store. If you have a QT nearby, this is one of the offers we’re personally planning to use today!

Whataburger — Free Coffee- Whataburger is offering a free 16-ounce hot or iced coffee for National Coffee Day. The offer is available today, September 29, and no purchase is required. I know Charlie wouldn’t mind having a Iced Coffee. How about you?

Tim Hortons — Free Coffee– Tim Hortons is offering free coffee of any size for National Coffee Day. Even if you don’t have a Tim Hortons near you, it’s worth knowing about if you’re traveling or have one in your area. If not but you know someone near a Tim Horton’s please let them know about the Free Coffee because sharing is caring.

Coffee Deals Worth Checking Out

Peet’s Coffee — Peet’s is offering medium drip coffee for just 25 cents today. That’s hard to beat if you have a Peet’s nearby. I believe there is one on Rufe Snow if you want to go.

McDonald’s —is offering 99-cent Premium Roast hot or iced coffee through the McDonald’s app today. Let’s go and get a Apple Pie to go with it. Check your app before ordering because app offers can vary.

Einstein Bros. Bagels — Free Iced Coffee With Purchase is offering a free iced coffee with a purchase today. This one is especially convenient for our local readers because there are Einstein Bros. locations in the North Richland Hills area. Plus, it’s been a while since I’ve been so let’s go.

Krispy Kreme — is offering free coffee with a purchase at participating locations today. And if you’re already stopping for coffee, you might want to see what other National Coffee Day doughnut promotions are available. After we get a Donut or two.

Paris Baguette — members can get a free medium hot or iced coffee with a purchase today at participating locations. No, don’t ask me where they are because I have no, clue.

Don’t Forget to Check Your Apps!

One thing we’ve learned from doing these savings posts is that sometimes the best deal isn’t sitting on the restaurant’s front door. Check your apps! QT is a perfect example for our family today. David has an offer. Charlie has an offer. And we’re going to use them.

Other coffee and restaurant apps may have National Coffee Day promotions, rewards offers or personalized coupons available today. Before you head out, open the apps for your favorite coffee and fast-food restaurants and see what you’ve got waiting for you.

And Yes, We’re Still Celebrating Fall!– National Coffee Day happens to fall right in the middle of our Greatful Moments Fall, Harvest and Halloween season. So grab your coffee, take the kids along, enjoy a little family time and look for ways to make today’s outing a memory instead of just another trip through the drive-thru.

For us, that’s probably going to mean coffee + soda + Charlie + David + a QT run. And honestly? That’s a pretty good way to celebrate a #Holiday we all know as National Coffee Day!

Happy National Coffee Day from our family to yours!

Deals and promotions can vary by location, app, membership status and participation. Check with the individual business before ordering to confirm today’s offer.

Anyone up for a Cup o’Joe this morning? Charlie is sleeping and David is working so I need someone to go get a cup or two of Coffee with me.

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
