The Quantico Trading Co. Coffee Shop opened in the Town of Quantico at the beginning of this year.
According to the shop’s owner and Quantico Mayor Kevin Brown, it serves gourmet coffee and espresso beverages made locally by Blackstone Coffee Company in Fredericksburg.
He owns the coffee shop with his wife Carrie Brown. Brown, who has nine children, even had his oldest child begin their first job working at the shop.
“We serve all of the traditional coffee and espresso drinks – lattes, mochas, cappuccinos. We recently added milkshakes and fruit smoothies to the menu. We also have bagels and breakfast sandwiches and some lunch items.
“Our most popular is our turkey bacon avocado sandwich,” said Brown.
Brown stated that an expanded menu will be released next month.
For Brown, starting his own business had always been a goal, after working for several years in the restaurant industry.
“I have a full time job as a project manager for a large IT company. My family moved to town in 2004 while I was an active duty Marine, and I have also always had the desire to own my own business,” said Brown.
Currently the shop is open from Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
