National Coffee Day is observed annually on Sept. 29 to celebrate the caffeinated beverage. On this day, many restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops and cafes give away free drinks and also serve brews with discounts.

This occasion comes just two days before the world celebrates International Coffee Day on Oct. 1.
