By A coffee shop is in the works for the ground floor of an office building at 7601 Little River Turnpike in Annandale.
The owner, Fady Jouda, hopes to open the café, called Petra, in two or three months. He plans to focus on coffee and pastries.
Meanwhile, Jouda is using the space for Petra Design, a shop that specializes in estate sale items, antiques, and artworks from all over the world.
He is also looking for a home for the 15 cockatoos in the back room. A friend gave him a couple of the birds and they had babies. He won’t be able to keep them in the shop once the café opens.
