Celebrate National Coffee Day here by buying any bag of coffee and receiving any coffee drink for free until Oct. 2.

Dazzle Coffee
Dazzle is like Willy Wonka’s factory for drinks instead of candy. All hot beverages are under $5, except the Dazzle six shooter, which has six shots of espresso, a Ghirardelli syrup of your choosing, steamed milk and whipped cream. Cold drink lovers gravitate towards the fruity Red Bull, Dazzle frost—snow cone in a cup—iced coffee or tea, and 100% fruit smoothies. Meet a friend at the outdoor patio or make a stop at its drive-thru.
