first off, be prepared to wait a crap ton. but the croissants are definitely worth it. they are the best. i'd skip the jalapeno cheddar biscuit and the scones--they are just average. you can find them anywhere. nothing special. but the croissants--wow! next time, i'm getting one regular croissant, two chocolate croissants, and one savory croissant.

Best cookies and blonde brownies in my life. The croissant are pretty on point and they are worth that trip. Didn't try the chocolates but didn't come here for that. Worth the line

- Twice Baked Pistachio Raspberry Croissant: Might be the best croissant I’ve ever had. The croissant needs no introduction. But to be able to stay flaky, toasty, and crisp after having the pistachio paste has been applied on the bread is beyond me. The stronger flavor of the two, will be the raspberry due to the tartness from the fruits and jam-like syrup. Not to worry, there is plenty of pistachio to be had, from the raw paste inside the croissant, the paste baked on top of the croissant, and nuts as garnish. The baked nuts bring a nutty, toasty flavor, though few, so savor every bite you get with them. The balance of the flavors, with each component bringing different ‘flavor bombs’, paired with the OG Jinju croissant is every pistachio x croissant lovers dream. 9.2/10 - Pumpkin Pie Tart: A piece of art, made with attention to detail. The pumpkin was well balanced in texture with the right amount of ‘mush’, without making the breadcrumb soggy. The flavor of the pumpkin pie was rich with cinnamon. There’s a crust layered underneath the pumpkin, and it’s almost like a toffee crust? I couldn’t quite identify what it was, but it made every bite explode with different texture and flavor. One critique would be that the cream was a bit overwhelming. I think for most people, it’s fine, but for me, I had to leave some left over. 9/10 - Butter Croissant: A staple. If I could get one every week, I would. This croissant is so flaky & crispy on the outside, with a velvety, warm, soft feel on the inside. Again, it seems like the overlying theme with the pastries that are baked and served here is a perfect balance in texture and flavor. No one texture or flavor is front and center, but they all work as a team to build a great experience in every bite that is rare to find. 10/10

Orange & cranberry scone was fantastic. The bonbons are an added bonus!

This little bakery in Portland is filled with delicious treats and sweet surprises. The standout for me was definitely the carrot cake — rich, moist, and layered perfectly with smooth cream cheese frosting. The hazelnuts added just the right touch of texture and flavor.
The croissants, though buttery, were a bit too flaky for my taste. I prefer mine to hold together instead of crumbling everywhere. Flavor felt a bit over baked. Golden brown please 🙏
The price point leans on the higher side, so be prepared to spend a little more — but if you appreciate quality pastries, it’s worth the treat.
Overall: Good spot for desserts, especially the carrot cake. 🥕

We were missing the cheddar chive scone of Noe Bakery in San Francisco since we moved to Portland, until we discovered Jinju Patisserie’s jalapeno cheddar biscuits which are phenomenal. What an amazing place with lots of amazing pastries, and cakes. Too bad that they are not open every day.

Drove all the way across town and got here before 1 PM on a Thursday to find the doors closed and the lights off
Worth all the hype. Delicious. Croissant was fabulous. Hazelnut tart was amazing. Definitely go check them out.

I’m so glad you were my Google suggestion when I searched bakeries! Croissants will never be the same & the bar has been raised. I can honestly say I’ve never seen one that was bigger than my hand. Thought I would eat a part of it & save the rest, but I couldn’t stop! Your cases look beautiful, clean & service was exceptional! I could have eaten them all. I’ll be back next time I’m in Portland.

Best croissant I've had since being in Italy and the tarts were too small! I need more! Worth the hype indeed.

Small business space with exceptional variety and great customer service. The tarts and chocolates are worth thectrip.
