National Coffee Day is coming up on September 29, and DoorDash is marking the occasion by serving up a list of the Top Coffee Shops for 2026*, a celebratory list of top-rated small and medium-sized coffee shops on DoorDash. The list recognizes the standout small and medium-sized local coffee shops helping customers start their mornings, power through the afternoon, and everything in between.
Coffee's Big Year on DoorDash
Coffee had a standout year on DoorDash in 2025, and the order data** shows exactly when customers were reaching for it most:
In 2025, there were more than 80 million coffee orders placed on DoorDash.
The most popular time to order coffee was 9am, and the most popular day was Friday, pointing to coffee's role as a morning ritual with an extra lift heading into the weekend.
The busiest day of the year for coffee orders was Friday, December 19 which saw nearly 280,000 coffee orders – more than any single day which may have been driven by holiday routines, gifting, and office ordering as the year wound down.
“National Coffee Day is a chance to celebrate the local coffee shops that are part of our everyday routines,” said Ruth Isenstadt, Head of U.S. Restaurants at DoorDash. “They’re the places that know your order, know their regulars, and become part of the neighborhood. This list celebrates some of the local favorites doing that every day in communities across the country.”
