Guidebook for Mapleton
Food Scene
Mapleton is a very small town, but there is a coffee shop, restaurant and bar just a few miles down the road. The little store has just about everything you'd need (including a fun milkshake machine and ice cream scoops). You can order a pizza to go, or a bucket of chicken too.
