Despite this week's heat advisory, Springfield-area coffee shops are trying hard to make it feel like fall. While autumn may be marked by soups and hot drinks, some cafes are already debuting their drinks with the addition of cold brew.
And, of course, Springfield's breweries are gearing up for Oktoberfest.
Here are some local fall flavors and where to get them.
