A New, Expanded Menu to Celebrate the Opening in Fort Lee

To mark the launch of the Fort Lee location, Angelina Bakery is introducing a series of new, exclusive menu items designed to reflect both its Italian roots and pay homage to the vibrant community it will be serving:

Pinsa — A Lighter, Healthier Italian Classic
Angelina Bakery is launching various exciting flavors of Pinsa, a Roman-style flatbread made with a special blend of wheat, soy, and rice flours. Unlike traditional pizza, Pinsa is lower in gluten, has fewer calories, is easier to digest, and features a crisp, airy texture. This naturally leavened dough undergoes a 72-hour fermentation process, resulting in a light, flavorful base for premium toppings. Flavor options will rotate seasonally.

New Dessert-Topped Lattes
Angelina Bakery is also debuting three indulgent drinks, each topped with a signature mini dessert:

Cannoli Latte — A rich espresso drink finished with a fresh cannoli on top.
Dubai Chocolate Latte — A decadent chocolate and pistachio latte paired with a luxurious piece of Dubai chocolate.
Hazelnut Latte — A smooth, nutty espresso beverage crowned with a chocolate hazelnut pastry.

Korean-Inspired Café Favorites
In celebration of Fort Lee's rich Korean American community and founder Tony Park's Korean-Italian background, the bakery is also introducing Korean-inspired treats:

Mochi Balls — Delightfully chewy rice flour confections filled with red bean and matcha. These bite-sized treats are a nod to popular Korean café offerings, reinterpreted through Angelina's Italian pastry lens.
Tissue Bread — A viral sensation in Korean café culture, Tissue Bread is known for its incredibly light, paper-thin layers that practically melt in your mouth. Angelina's version offers a subtle Italian influence with premium European butter and flour, making it a must-try for enthusiasts.

Beyond New York City
This opening in Fort Lee, New Jersey marks the start of a larger expansion plan beyond New York City, with development underway in Boston, MA. Several other markets under consideration include New Haven CT, Philadelphia PA and Virginia. With this expansion, Angelina Bakery is positioning itself to become one of the most beloved names in Italian eatery culture across the East Coast and beyond.
