National Coffee Day Is Here — And There’s A LOT of Free Coffee
Tuesday is National Coffee Day, which means your morning caffeine run could be a whole lot cheaper.
Whether you're a black-coffee purist, a cold-brew addict or someone who needs enough caramel and whipped cream to technically classify their drink as dessert, coffee chains across the country are celebrating with freebies, discounts and caffeine-fueled deals.
Here are some of the biggest offers happening Tuesday:

Just remember that participation, availability and restrictions can vary by location, so check the individual chain's app or website before making a special caffeine run.
