About us

Lelu is a traditional patisserie and coffee bar that brings classic pastries and fine baked goods located at the corner of Palisade Avenue and Columbia Avenue in Fort Lee, New Jersey.
Lelu offers exquisite pastries sourced with the finest quality ingredients, baked to perfection. Our commercial grade Italian espresso machines produce conventional espressos, and we source our drip coffee from producers all over the world that are crafted in small batches. Everything is baked in house from scratch in our state of the art show kitchen where one can watch the baking process happen live.
Designed by Dash Design in New York, the interior is light and airy with verde acqua blush colors, white marble and terrazzo floors. The accent counter with ribbed panels and cabinets are custom created in Italy by FM Display Concepts.
Overlooking the busy crossroads, Lelu has top to bottom glass windows and golden accents that define the richness of the space.
