Sometimes, we at Patch get to bring exceptionally good news to our readers, and with the announcement of free beer yesterday, the end of September has been a banner weekend for treats.

Today is National Coffee Day, and to celebrate the drink that Jonathan Swift once said "makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical," Collingswood residents have a chance to enjoy some of the delicious stuff on the house.

At Krispy Kreme, customers can pop in and receive a free, 12-ounce cup of the 100 percent Arabica bean coffee served there. They can also enter to win one of 75 coffee prize packs, including free coffee for a year, a Krispy Kreme T-shirt and a coffee mug.

At Grooveground, shoppers get $1 off a $5 purchase all day. Stop in and sample the new fall-flavor menu at the best coffee shop in South Jersey, as chosen by Patch readers. (Hint: the secret ingredient is pumpkin—as in muffins, bread, and the locally roasted pumpkin spice coffee.)
