Downtown just got a little more caffeinated and a whole lot cooler..
We’re so excited to welcome Blend & Brew to the Monticello Main Street District, which opened yesterday at 309 N. Market Street (former Hardee's location). Owners Vaishali & Nish gave the building interior a HUGE glow-up - Be sure to stop by, say hello, and support another awesome local business bringing more energy into our downtown!
It’s a simple tradition with a lasting impact—bringing color, respect, and a sense of unity to our streets while honoring the moments we celebrate together.
We’re grateful for Local Scouting America Troop 490's continued service and the pride they bring to our downtown year after year.
Don’t miss this chance!! Would you like to check out our newest downtown business Blend & Brew?! Well you’re in luck! On Monday the retail side will be open for people to get a look and MAKE PURCHASES! Stop by and learn what they’ll have to offer, see the changes to the space, and say welcome to the owners!!
Downtowns thrive on what you can see when you’re here.

Every sidewalk conversation, every window shopper, every patio seat filled helps tell the story that downtown is active, welcoming, and worth exploring.
