New coffee shop opened on Main

Went twice this week already. Great flat white and there's a corner with outlets if you need to work.

QuestionNeighbors

Anyone have a plumber they trust in Benson?

Slow drain that's getting worse. Would rather hire a neighbor's recommendation than roll the dice online.
