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.
Angelina Bakery is a New York City-based bakery specializing in authentic Italian pastries and innovative desserts. Founded by Tony Park in 2018, Angelina Bakery combines traditional Italian baking methods with modern culinary creativity, quickly becoming a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
