The Best National Cold Brew Day Deals To Kickstart Your Day

Updated Published

There’s nothing like a bit of caffeine to start up your day and perk you right up. And for an extra dose of caffeine, there’s nothing like cold brew. Brewed using cold water and a higher bean-to-water ratio, cold brew often has more caffeine compared to other coffee drinks.

National Cold Brew Day is right around the corner on April 20. Coffee enthusiasts will come to celebrate this wonderful coffee-brewing method by visiting their favorite coffee shops, many of which are offering discounts, freebies, or rewards. If you’re looking to grab your favorite cold brew drink that day, or are a first-time cold brew drinker — here’s a list of National Cold Brew Day deals to start your day right.

Dunkin’

If you’re a Dunkin’ rewards member, you can get a free cold brew along with any purchase made in the Dunkin’ app on April 20. This cold brew is also customizable with cold foams, flavor shots, and swirls.

Tim Hortons

If you order any size cold brew at Tim Hortons on April 20, you will receive 200 extra rewards points.

Dutch Bros

All customers ordering a cold brew on April 20 will receive a free limited-edition sticker. Dutch Bros has kept this tradition for a few years now, with cute designs perfect for decorating your laptop or water bottle.

La Colombe

Stop by any La Colombe location (unfortunately there’s only 32) and grab a free 11-ounce can of “World’s Frothiest Draft Latte,” which is made with cold brew. The chain is also offering $1 cold brew on tap, while supplies last. La Colombe is also running an online contest where one lucky person can win one year’s supply of draft lattes. 

Rise Brewing Co.

Another canned coffee company, Rise Brewing Co. is offering new subscribers a $10 pack of cans for their first shipment if you subscribe before April 26. Until April 22, Amazon Prime members can also get a 20% discount on nitro cold brew cans. It’s definitely time to stock up.

Denny’s

On National Cold Brew Day, Denny’s rewards members can get 20% off one sweet cream cold brew. It’s the ideal pairing for an American breakfast.

Pilot

This convenience store is giving away one free cup of cold brew to rewards members on April 20. Redeemable in the Pilot app, this offer is available in Pilot’s 500+ locations.

Scooter’s Coffee

Any size cold brews are half off when ordered through the Scooter’s Coffee app on April 20. Choose from any cold brews on the menu, including Caramelicious Creme Cold Brew, Cinnamon Creme Cold Brew, and Vanilla Creme Cold Brew.

Paris Baguette

Rewards members can get medium cold brews for $3 at participating locations. This makes for a delicious cold brew and pastry combo.

Playa Bowls

Playa Bowls is early to the National Cold Brew Day game. On April 19, rewards members receive a free 16-ounce sweet cream cold brew when they order a bowl in shop, online, or on the Playa Bowls app. Coffee plus acai — who knew they went so well together!

Starbucks

All Starbucks rewards members can receive double stars for any purchases made when paying with their preloaded Starbucks Card in the Starbucks app or a Starbucks gift Card preloaded onto their Starbucks app all year round, not just on April 20 and 21. It might not be a specific Cold Brew Day deal, but it is a sweet way to rack up stars.
