National Coffee Day Deals In Howard County

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Excitement is building for coffee lovers across the country for the upcoming National Coffee Day on Sunday, Sept. 29. It’s a day to enjoy the incredibly popular morning beverage and also cash in on the great deals going on in Howard County.

Whether it’s a deal on a small cup of black coffee or buying one caramel frappuccino with soy milk and getting another one free, there’s something for every type of coffee aficionado on the official java holiday.

It’s a mystery exactly how or when coffee was discovered, however the most popular legend traces its origin back to a goat farmer in Ethiopia. Coffee then eventually made its way to the Arabian Peninsula in the 15th century, before travelers brought it to Europe two hundred years later, according to the National Coffee Association.

A young naval officer named Gabriel de Clieu was the first to bring it to the Americas in the middle part of the 17th century, and it eventually made it to the United States in the decades following, according to the NCA.

Along with local deals in our city/town, many national retailers are offering special deals for the day.
