So in honor [of the return of _Gilmore Girls_ on Netflix this Thanksgiving](http://time.com/4426758/gilmore-girls-revival-show-releases-the-first-trailer-and-a-premiere-date/?iid=sr-link1), the streaming service is launching pop-up coffee shops around the country. The best part? The caffeine fix is free. Over 200 coffee shops around the country (and a sprinkling in Canada) will be transformed into temporary versions of Luke’s Diner, the [Stars Hollow establishment](http://time.com/4465381/gilmore-girls-fan-fest/?iid=sr-link3) that the Gilmore women used as their watering hole and general hangout throughout the show’s original run. [Eater reports](http://www.eater.com/2016/10/3/12929778/gilmore-girls-netflix-lukes-diner-coffee-california-new-york-canada) that the cafés will come with “all the Luke’s Diner essentials,” like branded aprons and t-shirts, to make the experience true to Gilmore life. The pop-ups will get started with their complimentary coffee service on Oct. 5 and serve free joe until noon; you can see where in your state you can find your Luke’s fix [on this site.](https://townofstarshollow.org/lukes) The revival, meanwhile, will air on Netflix on Nov. 25. > [](https://twitter.com/GilmoreGirls/status/781464742099640320) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4516622/gilmore-girls-coffee-deal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4516622/gilmore-girls-coffee-deal/"},"headline":"How You Can Get Free Coffee at Real-Life Gilmore Girls Coffee Shop Pop-ups","datePublished":"2016-10-03T16:42:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:15.017Z","description":"Luke's Diner IRL","url":"https://time.com/4516622/gilmore-girls-coffee-deal/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4516622/gilmore-girls-coffee-deal/","name":"How You Can Get Free Coffee at Real-Life Gilmore Girls Coffee Shop Pop-ups"}}]}] ```
