He was inspired by the closure of longtime Columbia Pike coffee shop Rappahannock Coffee and the desire to create something truly local. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mike was already familiar with entrepreneurship. He also completed Boots to Business, a program that helps transitioning military members and their spouses learn about starting and operating businesses. Eventually, his idea took the form of a coffee shop with locally roasted beans.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s on the Menu<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodtroublecoffee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good Trouble Coffee<\/a> focuses on quality ingredients, straightforward preparation, + locally sourced food. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Mike, the philosophy behind a great cup of coffee is similar to the approach he&#8217;s taken with Black Market Salsa: start with excellent ingredients and do the simple things well. To get things started, Mike is working with Annandale\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beaneticscoffee.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beanetics Roasters<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to provide the beans. \u201cI picked out the beans, I picked out the roasting level,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a lot of taste-testing.\u201d Eventually, Mike plans to roast the shop\u2019s beans in-house.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/alexandria-osijek-croatia-friendship-city-virginia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandria VA + Osijek, Croatia Make it Official with Friendship City Agreement<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other local businesses are part of the cafe\u2019s model.
