National Coffee Day is almost over. Where to grab a free cup of Joe while you still can
Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts and Panera are just a few of the shops offering free java.
Good news, coffee lovers. It's National Coffee Day. A few shops are offering a free cup of java or other treats, though some require being part of a loyalty program. Starbucks, Dunkin', Krispy Kreme and other big names are joining in on the celebration.
And if you love coffee just as much as I do, look out for more offers on Friday, because Oct. 1 is International Coffee Day.
