Krispy Kreme: Krispy Kreme is extending National Coffee Day through the weekend, offering customers one free cup of coffee (any size hot brew or a small iced premium blend) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Dunkin' Donuts: This year for National Coffee Day, Dunkin' Donuts is giving away a free medium hot coffee to anyone who buys a medium, large or extra large cup of hot coffee. So you can treat a friend or get extra jacked yourself.

Whole Foods: On National Coffee Day, Allegro Coffee Company will donate $1 from each cup of batch brew coffee purchased from Whole Foods Market coffee bars to the Whole Planet Foundation (up to $40,000), which funds poverty poverty alleviation projects in places around the world where Whole Foods Market sources products.

As part of Intelligentsia's participation in the Night of 1,000 Pours charity fundraiser, customers will be given the option donate that $3 dollars rather than keeping it. Intelligentsia will match every $3 donation and send all proceeds to hurricane relief inTexas and Florida.

Caribou Coffee: Caribou is also helping its customers help others on National Coffee Day by donating 10 percent of Amy's Blend Coffee, merchandise and all Caribou Coffee Signature Blend and Single Origin purchases to CancerCare.
