Vienna Shops Celebrate National Coffee Day

Get your caffeine on and celebrate with a free cup or a cup for a cause.

If the first words out of your mouth every morning are, “I’ll have a large coffee”—or if you can’t even speak until after you’ve had your java fix—there's a National Holiday created especially for you.

America will put staunch tea drinkers to shame on National Coffee Day on Saturday, when coffee fiends can rejoice and celebrate their beloved coffee bean with free brew from national chains.

Many local cafes and businesses are participating in the national celebration.

Caffe Amouri: While most coffee shops are giving away cups of joe for free,  owner Michael Amouri plans to donate 10 percent of drip coffee sales to local musician Robbie Schaefer's One Voice Foundation, he said this week. "Many countries, including those that Robbie has visited and done wonderful things in (building a school in Kenya, working with kids in Rwanda), use coffee to better their citizens. In Rwanda, it brought previously warring tribes together, working hand in hand. We want to recognize the positive social impact of coffee," he said.

The shop also plans to donate $1 from the purchase of every pound of the "One Voice Blend."
