Voila Pastry & Cafe to Open Next Week

Prepare your palate for freshly made pastries made from scratch at Voila Pastry & Cafe which is scheduled to open next week, according to an A.J. Dwoskin & Associates news release. The cafe wil serve coffee, pastries and brunch at its new location next to New China Taste at the Huntington Station Shopping Center on North Kings Highway.

“This is my first pastry shop,” said Owner Mekdeswork Altaye.  “I’m so excited to be opening at Huntington Station and can’t wait to start serving our freshly made pastries, which will be prepared in-house.”

Voila will offer various tarts, tortes and cakes, locally roasted coffee and a brunch menu and all pastries will be made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The cafe will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Voila is also currently hiring according to the "Help Wanted" sign posted in the window of the business.

According to Dan Woodley — who represented the landlord in the transaction for the 1,600 sq. ft. space — the new bakery and cafe is locally owned and offers Alexandria residents an alternative to usual coffee shop chains.
