Smoothie cafe coming to Bailey’s Crossroads

A Bora Bora Smoothie Cafe is coming to a long-vacant building in Bailey’s Crossroads.

Fairfax County issued a building permit for a commercial addition/alteration for the property at 5870 Leesburg Pike on Jan. 1, stating the tenant will be Bora Bora.

The building housed Joe’s Place Pizza and Pasta from the early 1980s to 2007. After Joe’s closed, the building was occupied by TitleMax.

Bora Bora is a franchise restaurant that offers smoothies, juice, milkshakes, coffee, acai bowls, waffles, and “croffles” (croissant/waffle) sandwiches.

The company, founded in Kuwait, has 25 locations in the United States, including a new one at the Tysons Corner Center.
