Flavors of Fall

Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Ava Sherer, and I am very excited to be serving as the new Communications Intern with the City of Kingsport. One of the things I am looking forward to the most is the opportunity to connect with the community, in creative ways – and what better way to do that than through tasty treats, beverages, and food? With fall finally in the air, I spent the day visiting some of Kingsport’s favorite coffee shops and dessert locations to see what seasonal flavors they are dishing out! From cozy pumpkin spice lattes to fan-favorite pastries, here is a list of local spots where you can find the perfect fall treat!
