USA Today also put together a list of national chains and what they are offering:

It's also says it is going to "surprise" 66 of its Twitter followers with gift cards good for a year's worth of free coffee.

“We have decided to sweeten the deal a bit for National Coffee Day, as we think coffee and doughnuts go better together,” said Jackie Woodward, chief marketing officer of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts in a statement. “Our doughnuts have always been complemented perfectly by our coffee, and we are excited our guests are able to enjoy both of these premium products for free.”

Starbucks. The nation's most prominent coffee chain isn't offering a discount, but it is hoping customers step up to help save the planet -- or at least the coffee industry in a distressed region of Mexico.

Starbucks will donate a coffee tree for every cup of brewed Mexico Chiapas cup of coffee in the U.S. or Mexico. The promotion has already been underway for those who buy bags of coffee, but extending it to cups for a day should help its goal of reaching 20 million trees by years's end. It's going to support the fight against a fungus called "coffee rust" that is destroying trees in Latin America.

Starbucks says it has donated 10 million rust-resistant trees so far and has the funds for another 8 million.

"The initial distribution of these coffee trees has already had a positive impact with potential to help farmers and their families for years to come,” said Craig Russell, executive vice president of Starbucks Global Coffee, in a statement.

•Tim Hortons. No free coffee but a social media contest for those who have the chain's affinity card. The #TimsCoffeeDay social media contest will take place on Twitter, among other places.
