Red Velvet Cupcakery in Reston Town Center has officially shuttered its doors. The store, located at 11939 Democracy Drive, closed on Sunday (May 27). Owner Aaron Gordon announced the closure in early March. His decision was driven by Boston Properties' paid parking structure. There are no immediate plans to open another brick-and-mortar location. The store
Red Velvet Cupcakery is coming back to Reston and is set to open later this summer.
The well-known bakery that was formerly at Reston Town Center will open a new location at Reston Town Center West on Sunset Hills Road, owner Aaron Gordon tells Reston Now.
It will share a kitchen with Little Beast Bistro, a sandwich and pizza concept also developed by Gordon, but much like the two do in Chevy Chase, D.C., they will have seperate, distinct storefronts.
“I’ve always wanted to get back out [to Reston],” Gordon said.
His partner on these ventures is Kristen Brabrook, the former manager of Red Velvet’s Reston Town Center location.
