A new coffee shop will be opening in the Shoppes of Foxchase shopping center in Alexandria's West End.
Cortado Cafe is under construction now in the shopping center on Duke Street. It is taking the place of a now-closed Hair Cuttery between Massage Envy and La Casa restaurant.
The word cortado comes from the Spanish 'to cut' and in this context it refers to cutting an espresso with milk to reduce the acidity of the drink.
The new coffee shop does not have a website or social media presence yet and the company has not announced an opening date.
