Alexandria, VA – Not every new restaurant has an opening date on the calendar. Here is what Debby Critchley found at four Alexandria addresses in late October:
Rosie’s Tavern — 2018 Mount Vernon Ave. The former Thai Peppers space has received exterior updates, but the restaurant has yet to open. A November launch has been discussed; a firm date was not available at the time of the visit.

Flavor Hive — 3314 Richmond Hwy. The modernized Potomac Yard building looks close to completion from the street. The business website still lists the location as temporarily closed for construction and says a storefront opening is coming.

Hypergoat Coffee Roasters — 2423 Mount Vernon Ave. Paper still covers the windows at the planned Del Ray café and roastery. Posted permits describe space for a barista counter, coffee lab, and roasting equipment. No opening date has been announced.

Mamilla Chocolatier — 2400 Mount Vernon Ave. Work appears to be continuing behind the covered windows. No official opening date was posted as of the late-October visit.
