New Union County Cafe Doubles As Flower Shop: Meet Lidios

ROSELLE PARK, NJ - The Cranford area’s newest coffee shop has opened its doors in Roselle Park, serving up roasts with a floral-inspired twist.

Lidios Cafe and Flowers (570 W Westfield Ave.), which opened late last year, offers a classic coffee menu of sweet cream and lavender lattes, cappuccinos and shaken espressos, as well as fresh bouquets of made-to-order flowers. You can view a full menu here.

“Come in and relax with one of our hot drinks, a savory snack, alongside your furry best friend or favorite humans, in our handcrafted space surrounded by some of nature's natural beauty,” Lidios’ website reads. “Or set up solo with your laptop with our free Wifi. Either way, we would love to have you.”

The woman-owned family business held its grand opening ceremony in December. You can see photos from the ceremony here and a video of the interior below:

The cafe, which sits at the former site of Aldene Cleaners, also offers free wifi, patio seating and plenty of outlets. It’s also pet-friendly, according to its website.

“One of our main goals at Lidios Cafe + Flowers is to provide a calming place for all to go after the chaos of the past few years, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic,” Lidios’ website adds. “We put extra care into everything we do. We hope our flowers make you feel special and a hot drink makes you feel cozy. All are welcome, including man's best friend (dogs).”
