Kiwi Kuisine Pie Shop will reopen its interior storefront in Alexandria on October 10, 2026. The business has operated exclusively through delivery and pickup services since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why it matters

The reopening marks a significant transition for the business, which has functioned as a takeout-only operation for several years. The restored space allows the shop to reintroduce in-person dining and expanded store hours.

The shop is located at 4548 Eisenhower Avenue and will operate from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. These hours follow nearly two decades of business activity since the shop first opened in 2007.

The players

Kiwi Kuisine Pie Shop

An Alexandria-based bakery that has served the community since 2007.

The details

The establishment has renovated its interior to incorporate customer seating for the first time in years. While the interior was closed, the business continued to supply products to the Old Town Farmers Market and the Whole Foods location on Duke Street.

Timeline

  1. Kiwi Kuisine Pie Shop first opened for business in 2007.

  2. The renovated interior will reopen to customers on October 10, 2026.

Market Landscape

This move mirrors the broader shift of local hospitality firms transitioning back to traditional storefront models after years of focusing on delivery. It allows the company to compete more directly with other sit-down bakeries in the Alexandria area.

Customers can now plan for in-person dining starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday through Saturday. Those who previously relied on the shop’s presence at the Old Town Farmers Market or Whole Foods can continue to access products at those locations.

The takeaway

The return of interior seating provides residents with a new venue for dining that was unavailable for years. Regular patrons should note the new store hours that facilitate this transition to full-service operations.

What happens next

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the renovated storefront is scheduled to take place at 10:30 a.m. on October 10, 2026.
