National Coffee Day is Tuesday, September 29, 2026, and 7 Brew’s announced tie-in this year is a free state license plate sticker at the stand, per the promo on 7brew.com. Any drink deal (past years brought BOGO drinks and app-only discounts) hasn’t been posted as of September 11 and usually appears in the app and on social a few days before. Expect long lines from 7 to 10 a.m. and sticker stock to run out by mid-morning at busy stands. This page is updated when 7 Brew posts the full offer.

What past National Coffee Days looked like
7 Brew has treated September 29 as a customer-appreciation day more than a free-coffee day. The pattern across the last few years: a small merch giveaway (stickers, koozies) with a purchase, a drink deal pushed through the app (buy-one-get-one on a specific category, or a dollar-off), and heavy social promotion. Free drinks for everyone has not been the format; the Rewards free-drink at 1,000 points is the only “free coffee” mechanism that runs year-round. If you’re planning on a deal, plan on it being app-based and possibly limited to certain drinks.
How to make the most of it
Update the 7 Brew app and sign in the day before; app deals need the current version and a Rewards account.
Go before 8 a.m. or after 10 a.m.; the sticker runs out early and the line peaks 7 to 10.
Ask for the sticker at the window (“the National Coffee Day sticker”); it’s one per customer at most stands.
Order a small, medium or large drink to earn 100 points as usual; cans and Kids sizes don’t earn.
