The only thing better than coffee in the morning? Free coffee in the morning, or anytime in the day.

This Thursday, Sept. 29, is National Coffee Day, a very real holiday we all had marked on our calendars for months. (Be honest.) Well, anyway, there are some places offering free or reduced-price cups of joe on this most sacred of holidays. Here's what you need to know.

Caribou Coffee

Caribou is offering $3 medium drinks for the holiday.
