Came here on our last day of Portland, friend was interested in all the pictures of the unique pastries here.The orange and cinnamon breakfast pastry was fantastic but the star of the show is the carrot cake. Carrot cake is my favorite cake but I have to say this is the best one I have ever tried. There is a layer of candied walnuts that add a hit of flavor and texture. The matcha and yuzu was also a great try. People seemed to like the coffee and chai here but I would suggest the peppermint hot chocolate.

The best bakery in Portland! The croissants are amazing, so crunchy on the outside and soft inside, layers, and flaky. I recommend trying everything as its all very delicious. The service is always amazing and they are so kind. The cakes and other treats are tasty too. I recommend ordering ahead a few days to reserve things as they sell out like all the time!

Amazing. Place clean and cute, girl at the counter very pleasant and friendly, the mini cakes were amazing! Want to go back and get the Passionfruit Coconut Mousse now. The Matcha Yuzu was also amazing, as well as the Raspberry Lemon Tart. The Snickers was a little too peanut buttery for me. Was hoping for maybe some nougat, but others in my party really liked it, but just with tea to balance the richness. The Caramel Tart was not my favorite but others really liked it. So many more I still want to try, like the Earl Grey Raspberry Mousse and the Strawberry Lime Tart. Oh the cheesecake was also amazing. One of my peoples said it is the cheesecake of your dreams, that you always knew you wanted but could never find and he always eats cheesecake and loves it. I really want to order one and take it home and place a few canned cherries and a small smidgen of the gelatinous canned cherry syrup on the cake.

I’ve walked by this place a million times and the line is always long so I never stopped in.I was up early on a Saturday and got there when it opened and now I would 100% wait in the line. It is worth the hype. This is the beat crossiant I have ever had. It is perfectly flakely on the outside and so soft and perfect on the inside. Honestly, this would be the food I brought with me to a dessert island.

Tried the croissant, spinach feta breakfast pastry, and these two delicious custard-filled beauties. Loved EVERY bite! I read some reviews of people skeptical of the croissants, saying they tasted burned or that they were “normal” — well those reviews were wrong and the croissants were so amazingly flavorful and flakey. My partner and I had a wonderful brunch date, and we would come back again!

Had the best experience! I got the mushroom croissant and it was delicious, flaky, savory, perfectly seasoned and huge for $4. Couldn’t ask for anything better. I also wanted some help deciding on a sweet treat and the worker was so kind and thoughtful and incredibly helpful. I got the matcha mousse cake with yuzu lemon curd and it was beyond delicious!!!!!! Maybe one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. 10/10

Amazing pastry and desserts! Not only looks beautiful but also tasty. Not my favorite coffee though.

Kind people, nice outdoor seating. Gorgeous pastries. Chocolate croissant was awesome, even got one for the trip home

I was skeptical about the deserts since they look so good. My experience is that desserts in America, when they look too good, they dont taste good. But I was happily surprised. The deserts and chocolates (bon bons) were amazing! Ordering a lot of it for a family gathering.

Wow, wow, wow! What a patisserie! We havent eaten Korean or Japanese pastries and desserts this good since visiting Japan in 2019. We will be back. The flakiness of the croissants, with roasted sesame on top; the chocolate croissant was even better than the savory ones. The cookies are an edible work of art, and the desserts are on a whole other level. 10 stars is more accurate.

Still thinking about a caramel hazelnut tart I got here 3 weeks ago. Its that good 😜

Simply the best!!! Ive never had croissants like these, chocolates like these, and to top it all off, outstanding service EVERY SINGLE TIME. I crave Jinju when Im not in town, and when I am, go daily. You must try it to believe the greatness!

Croissants one of the best in town. Fresh, perfectly crisps on the outside, soft on the inside with a perfect amount of butter to enhance the flavor. 😋

We went on a Sunday about an hour from closing and they were sold out of most of their desserts. They had a tiramisu and a few chocolate mousse cakes. We got a 4-pack of bon bons. The recommend the cookies and cream. They would make a great gift! We look forward to returning to try the carrot cake and other fancy desserts.Enjoy!

Best crossiants and desserts in Portland! They have a huge selection of all things delicious. They are so sweet and gave our pup a homemade dog treat! This is my new favorite bakery!

Some of the best desserts I’ve ever had. I tried the gluten free chocolate mouse cake, snickers, and coconut passion fruit. The chocolates were also wonderful. Looking forward to the next visit to try the other treats!

Update (Sep 2021): Revisited Jinju and had a traditional croissant. It was so flaky that I made such a mess eating it, haha. Its quite big too, absolutely loved it.Original (Feb 2021): Jinju is one of my (three) favorite pâtisseries in PDX! On my first visit I had a pain au chocolat and an almond croissant, they are huge with fluffy layers. Maybe a little too sweet to my taste but overall I really liked them.The other time I came in the afternoon so lot of pastries are already out, I got their savory mushroom and cheese croissant, and it is still very tasty.There are also a huge and various selection of other pastries, cakes, and chocolates among others. They are not my cup of tea but lets just say that they all look so good!

First experience here... Unbelievably beautiful and delicious. A work of art visually that made us reluctant to cut into it but once we did it was worth it. 100% approval from everyone.

The most perfectly executed and technically superior croissant I have ever had in my life. Absolutely mind-numbingly phenomenal.

Tasty wonderful pastries

Oh my gosh. So good.

Amazingly beautiful laminated pastries- I think the best in Portland. Their fancier plated desserts display their attention to detail, flavor, and texture- worth the price if you want to indulge!

Stunning dessert and bonbons display cases! Everything I’ve had there is delicious. It’s the perfect place to grab morning coffee and pastries. Plus, grab a dessert and bonbons to eat after dinner. Yummy!

One of the best croissants Ive ever had. The other one being Koko bakery in Boston lol. Had the chocolate and ham&cheese. Both were abundantly baked with butter and came crunchy on the outside with layers and moist on the inside. Dont settle for doughy mushy croissants at pastry shops that arent any better than the Costco croissant pack. Come here instead!

Indescribably good pastries and chocolates . Jin and Q are masters in this Arena and it not only shows but tastes in everything they produce. We are so fortunate to have them as part of our community. Its not just the amazing pastries and chocolates, Its them as members of our community. What I will tell you is, no words or photos will do it justice. Just go there.

This is by far the best patisserie in Portland

Best Chocolate Almond Croissant, not too sweet, crispy, other cakes are good too. Tried lemon and carrot cake.

So delish! Worth the wait in line

Perfect for fancy gifts, or just treating yourself. The lavender 💜 chocolate is my favorite, but I also cant find one I dont like. I love the heart mousse cake, and the earl gray, and the turkey sandwich, and the coffee...I realize I might end up listing the entire menu😄.. anyway, love this place!!

I get it...everything was delicious. Ham, cheese croissant, coffee cake, muffin and tarts. I had to get a punch card on the way out cuz Im going back. Everyone working there was very courteous. Thank you .

#1 go-to for delicious pastries and chocolates!

Desserts that will blow your mind, slightly pricey but SO worth it! You can tell everything is made with extreme care and attention to detail- almost too beautiful to eat. The owners are incredibly nice as well.

Very good.

High quality pastry, cookies, & cakes. Service is as good as the treats. I had carrot cake based on the recommendation of the owner. It was better than expected with a cookie or crispy layer baked onto the cake.

Omg! This place is Pure Magic!!! The owners run the patisserie, and they are so very friendly and welcoming!! Looking at everything it was so hard to decide. But we ended up getting a butter croissant, ham, bacon, and cheese croissant, almond croissant, a lavender white mocha, and the red berry custard desert. OMG it was so delicious!! The croissants were so crispy and flaky on the outside, and soft and buttery on the inside. Not oily or anything! The coffee was rich and smooth. So good. The desert was absolutely mouthwatering. So creamy and bursting with flavor!!! Check out pics and more on my IG @diningdutch !!

This place is literally amazing! I’ve tried several things and everything has been so so good. I would Highly recommend trying Jinju! Definitely a new favorite for us in PDX

This place has great coffee, its a little hotter than the surrounding places. It also has beautifully decorated candies.

The standout viennoiserie in the city. Sublimely flakey croissants.

Finest pastries and chocolates in Portland. Wonderful. Every single one is sublime.

Absolutely delicious!Walked in and the smell of fresh croissants was amazing. Great service and food!

Just had the most amazing experience at this local gem! Gorgeous chocolates that are just delightful every bite and the best macaron I ever had in my entire life! On a beautiful Spring day here in PDX, sipping latte with a friend at their outdoor bench table, savoring in these heavenly treats, one cant help but feel, life is pretty darn good!

Wow so cute!! Make sure to show up early for the best selection of items. They can get a little picked through later in the day. Definitely get a macaron, theyre perfect!!

Best croissants in Portland. No contest. Lovely folks own/operate this store. Try the morning buns too, but get there early enough because they are popular!

It was delicious..

In a word: magnificent. Everything I’ve had has been exceptionally delicious. I wish I could give 10stars.

Im on a quest to find the best croissant in the city, and so far Jinjus is at the top of the list.

Amazing treats here!! The prices are not too extravagant, but the taste is extravagant! The salted caramel macaron is unbelievable. Brownkie and chocolate croissant also blew my mind. The cashier was very helpful! I can’t wait to come back here!

Best pastries and handcrafted chocolates youll find anywhere. Nice welcoming vibe as soon as you walk in. This place is a.gem!

This is the only place in my opinion that the croissant taste about 90% like the ones in France. It’s really good, I have had almost everything here and it’s not too sweet like many American desserts. I love it so much.

Croissant and matcha latte are absolutely perfect!

Havent tried a better croissant in Portland yet. Buttery, flaky.Blueberry scones are freshly baked. Perfect amount of sugar they use in their recipes. People working there are lovely . Seriously loved it .

Incredible croissants. Highly recommend any of the pastries.

What can I say other than WOW. This is a hidden gem in Portland. I thought for a long time it was just a dessert shop as I would always swing by in the afternoons. Then I discovered their pasties, and my love grew even more. Get the almond-chocolate or ham & cheese croissants, but then again you really cant go wrong with anything here.Bottle line: Would eat again, and again, and again. :)

One of the best, if not the best cake I’ve ever had.

This place deserves 100 stars. 5 isn’t enough. Everything We tried was amazing. Will definitely be back.

Probably the best bakery in Portland

My favorite neighborhood spot on N. Williams Street. Owners are part of this community, and love their customers. More importantly, the food is really, really good. Fantastic croissants (as known for) but their desserts are what I go for. They not only look pretty, but they are consistently delicious. This crew never ceases to impress.

Jinju is a must. My sister and I have become addicts. We drive over an hour every few weeks to stock up on chocolates and croissants. We have tried everything that they make and it is all wonderful. I only wished I lived closer so I could stop by daily.

Wonderful croissants, cakes, and desserts. The carrot and chocolate cakes are standouts. Bon bons are works of art. Here is where you can take pleasure in the little things.

Beautiful bakes, delicious drinks, gorgeous chocolates, and an amazingly friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Delicious pastry! Perfectly light and crispy tart. Very fair price for what you get. Impressed. Can’t wait to go back to try more.

Delicious fancy patisserie, beautiful and expertly made. Not cheap but worth it.

Incredible croissants and pastries. We can’t wait to come back!

The frappes here are delicious and the stuff is really friendly!

My wife hits this place every opportunity she gets, for all the right reasons I might add. Top notch pastries at a reasonable price. Check it out if you’re in the area. Actually, make the trek over as it will be worth it, check them out!

The absolute best humans run this shop. It is like no other shop you’ve experienced! To find some of the best croissants sitting next to some of the best confections you’ll ever lay eyes on is not something one expects... BUT that is what you will find here! Go!

Everything is amazing! the croissants are excellent and the cakes are gorgeous and most importantly absolutely delicious :)

The ham and cheese croissant is honestly life altering. Get there early because they will sell out. Weve lived that disappointment before and I do not wish it upon anyone.

Try the collab breakfast tarts on weekends when you are lucky enough. Everything here is tops

Best desserts in town, they sell out often so go early!

Probably the best croissant in the whole Portland metro area!

The best croissants in Portland. Every item we got was spectacular. Great flavors and textures.

Always enjoy their stuff. Never been disappointed but best to show up early just so they dont run out of things

👍service

Croissant reviews

Wonderful desserts and pastries. The passionfruit dessert is amazing. Not too sweet and made with real passionfruit. The croissants are so good. Those flaky layers! No corners are cut here. It’s all so good.

Wow. Just...wow

Lovely neighborhood patisserie. Chocolates are excellent gifts. Owners are incredibly kind and beautiful spirits. Enjoy bringing my children and fur babies here. Great savory and sweet options, gorgeous works of foodie art.

It was amazing.

By far one of, if not, the best butter croissants in Portland. There are so many other things to try as well. Not only do the pastries and chocolates taste amazing, they are stunning to look at. So happy to have this gem in the neighborhood! We will definitely keep coming back!

This place is pretty good. I havent tried a lot of their confections, but the ones I have tried were good. Expensive, but good. They do a good job pulling espresso too.I feel like the menu would be better suited for Paris, than for Portland though.

Love this place! I have bought chocolates for friends and family as gifts—they are gorgeous and make excellent gifts. Also, the brownkie (half brownie, half cookie) is delicious!!!! I feel so lucky to have this place in the neighborhood!

Very delicious and the service was wonderful

Highly recommend the Jinju-bread and Hazelnut crunch bon-bons 😍

My family and I celebrated my birthday at Jinju recently. We enjoyed our food. Everything was fresh and tasty. The desserts were out of this 🌎, not only were they delicious, but so beautiful we just wanted to sit and admire them. The pesto tofu was scrumptious. Coconut mousse passion fruit dumpling was devine. A must return SOON.

Holy cow, what a treasure this place is. Do yourself a favor and get a croissant!!

Definitely a favorite! Lovely staff serving deliciousness with care. Highly recommend.

This is the best bakery in the Portland area. Best croissant Ive ever had by a wide margin. The bonbons are amazing, and the cakes we got were incredible.The staff was extraordinarily friendly and very knowledgable. Helpful, patient, and fun. We travel from the west side to go here and its worth the commute!

Disclaimer: Review for the Vegetarian/Vegan menu items only.Recently found this place in the top 10 patisserie in Portland and decided to try it out. Their croissants are surely not worth it, their chocolate and truffles are mediocre and their Asian pastries though look incredible leaves you wanting more with their bite.

I was so excited to see this place open up just a block from my place! After going there for breakfast, I was so impressed that I went back for lunch. Truly world class talent and execution - everything from sweet and savory is top notch, made from scratch, just perfect. Highly recommended! Will definitely be back on a regular basis to try everything in house.

I can now say Ive had one of the best croissants of my life thanks to Jinju. Not only that, but a delightfully perfect red velvet whoopie pie, and a great mocha with just the right balance of chocolate and sweetness. Im already dreaming of the next visit.

I LOVE this place! The owners are so nice and they seriously make the best croissants in Portland. Everything I’ve gotten from jinju is delicious.

Holy wow, this place is heaven on earth! Most beautiful and amazing pastries and chocolates I have ever laid eyes on. I have only tried a few of the savory breakfast pastries so far (because that kind of thing is my JAM) and they were outrageously wonderful. I plan to stop in again when I can and eventually branch out to sample some of their sweets, which I imagine are probably as amazing as they look! Im blown away by the skills and level of craft that goes into everything. On top of that, the staff have been so kind and accommodating when I have stopped in! Worth going out of your way for, just make sure you check the business hours first because theyre not open every day.

Bought their “Snickers” dessert today and it was incredible! Can’t wait to try other desserts there. Quality is high and taste is delicious.

Jinju makes an AMAZING croissant, pain au chocolate, savory pastry.

Favorite place to get chocolates and if you are lucky, an awesome Kouign-amann.

Beautiful and delicious - wishing I had discovered it sooner!

Beautiful confections and perfect pastries. I tried a mushroom tart and chocolate croissant, and I will definitely be back to try one of literally everything else. Excellent prices, as well.

When I asked my hubby where he wanted to go for his birthday cake this year he immediately said Jinju! Their brownkies are a big favorite.

Friendly staff, Great bon bons. Quality all around will definitely be returning as Everything was more than Perfect.
