New in NoVa: The Alley tea shop planning first Virginia location

An international tea shop is getting ready to open its first Virginia location right here in Northern Virginia. It’s called The Alley and its coming to Fairfax.

The Alley will open at 11017 Main Street in Fairfax. That’s near the big intersection of Fairfax Boulevard and Main Street.

The brand has locations throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, and here in North America.

Domestically, there are more than 20 locations in the United States, but only two on the east coast — one in Florida and one in the Boston area.

We can’t find a menu for The Alley, but based on social media posts, the specialty of the house is bubble teas or boba teas with tapioca balls in them. They also appear to have milk teas and fruit teas, plus snacks such as crispy popcorn chicken.

Right now, The Alley in Fairfax is listed as “coming soon” so no opening date yet.
