Having a coffee date with the Gilmore girls is our biggest dream.

Stars Hollow is real: Pop-ups of Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls will be giving out free coffee all over the country on Oct. 5, and, in addition to being incredulous (like Luke), we are also delighted.

Though Luke himself would likely disapprove of giving out anything for free, over 200 coffee shops around the country will transform into Luke's for one day only. The full list of locations are at townofstarshollow.org, which will re-launch with more fun Gilmore Girls content on the same day.

If you've seen even a sliver of Gilmore Girls footage in your lifetime (and you should really watch more -- you're worth it), you've probably seen Luke's, the titular girls' mealtime haunt that has the best coffee in town and the best gruff host grimacing as he pours it.

The news alone is exciting enough to get us out of bed at the crack of dawn -- the pop ups open at 7 A.M. and run until noon -- but will it stop at free coffee? Will we learn more about Netflix's Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, due for release on Nov. 25? (Count on it.) Will Lorelai stumble into the shops wearing nothing but one of Luke's shirts?

Will Jess be working??
