New Boba Tea Restaurant Open In Fairfax City’s Westfair Center

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Fairfax City residents have another place to order boba tea beverages prepared with the freshest, hand-selected ingredients.

The fast casual restaurant had a soft launch on Tuesday and will be offering specials up to its grand opening, which will be Saturday, from 12-8 p.m.

• Wednesday, Nov.13: 12-7 p.m., featuring Brown Sugar Deerioca Series and Milk Tea Series
• Thursday, Nov. 14: 11 a.m.-8 p.m., featuring Sugar Deerioca Series, Milk Tea Series and Specialty Series

The Alley's regular hours will be Sunday, Monday and Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m., as well as Friday and Saturday, from 11 a.m-1 a.m. The 1,700-square-foot restaurant is located at 11017 Main St. in Kamp Washington.

A sign in the window of the storefront next The Alley reads "Coming Soon Haraz Coffee House."
Founded in Dearborn, Michigan, the Yemeni coffee chain has expanded to 10 locations across the U.S. and plans to open 14 more, including the one in Fairfax, according to the company's website.

A building permit dated Oct. 15 and displayed in Haraz’s glass door says Westfair Center owner Federal Realty Partners is making $350,000 in improvements to the coffee shop.

Blazin Chicken & Gyro also has a “Coming Soon” sign hanging in the storefront at 11013 Main St., which is on the end of the shopping center and next door to Haraz. The chicken chain already has a Northern Virginia location at 7502 Leesburg Pike in Tysons.
