LELU is a new patisserie now open in Fort Lee.

The business promises “handcrafted elegance in every bite” according to their website.

Owner Ana Kutelvas has been working in finance for the hotel industry over many years, while pursuing a baking hobby about nine years ago.

She began to take the hobby more seriously, going to school and training under “famous chefs” including her mentor chef Anthonio Bachour (Miami).

Now switching careers with the help of her husband, she is opened her own shop — “something completely different, like you have in Europe” that includes great coffee and pastries.

This includes a menu of croissants, macarons, financier, scones, tarts, small pastries — with more planned in the future.

It’s currently open seven days a week.
