Krispy Kreme is introducing a coffee-flavored Original Glazed doughnut and offering a deal where customers can add a second dozen of doughnuts for $5 with the purchase of a regular-priced dozen. Dunkin’ is offering Rewards members a free medium hot or iced coffee with any qualifying purchase. Other participating brands include Wawa, which is offering free coffee of any size to Rewards members with no purchase necessary, and Tim Hortons, providing free coffee of any size through its app without a purchase requirement. Aroma Joe’s is also participating by providing free 16-ounce drinks. Regional and specialty deals include $1.49 large coffees at 7-Eleven and $1 coffee at Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Company within Walt Disney World Resort.

Peet’s Coffee is offering 25-cent medium coffees and website discounts, while Dairy Queen is extending celebrations into the fall with $3 Coffee Coolers. Scooter’s Coffee is also providing specific rewards or app-based deals.
