Excitement is brewing in the Mason District of Falls Church as Karak House Coffee Co. prepares to open a new café. Situated in the Bill Page retail strip, this venue promises to offer a unique blend of flavors and community-focused ambiance.
Adnan Akhtar, the franchisee partnering with his brother, is optimistic about the café’s opening in the coming months. Located at 3000 Annandale Road, the interior renovations are nearly complete.
Karak House will specialize in Karak chai, a robust tea drink made with black tea, evaporated milk, sugar, cardamom, and a medley of spices.
“I love chai,” Akhtar remarked, emphasizing its significance in South Asian culture. “It’s the king of drinks.”
In addition to the signature chai, the café will offer a range of regular and specialty coffee beverages, including various espresso and latte options. Desserts such as milk cakes, cheesecake, and croissants will also be featured.
As a resident of Annandale, Akhtar envisions Karak House as a “family-oriented place where people can sit with their friends and families or work on a laptop. We want to be a part of the community where people can hang out and not just grab and go.”
This marks the first Karak House Coffee Co. location in Virginia, with plans for a second café in Sterling, Loudoun County.
