Jin Patisserie

1202 Abbot Kinney Blvd. Venice, CA 90291
Tues-Sun 10:30am-7:00pm



Asian cities have some of the best bakeries in the world, where pastry artisans spin creations so fine it's as though an angel breathed on your plate. So when Kristy Choo, of Singapore, opened Jin Patisserie tea garden in Venice, California, the trendy locals came to relax in a modern landscape and nibble on homemade chocolates with surprisingly tasty flavors like Caramel Clove, The des Concubine, Mango Kalamansi, and Earl Grey Feuilletine.

Such delectables—along with a signature Tangerine Marmalade pound cake and ridiculously first-rate cookies—are now available on Jin's new website.

The chocolates are perfect for gift giving, delivered in a silk box. The cookies have a surprisingly light texture.


Cookies include: Ye-Yek shortbread, Chunky Cornflake (containing the real thing from Kellogg's); Diamante; Sesame Peanut Butter; and chocolate chip.

Chocolates include: Sea Salt Caramel, Lemon Grass, Jasmine, Black Roasted Sesame, Lychee, Earl Grey Feuilletine, Mango Kalamansi, Passionfruit, The des Concubine, Red Caramel Clove, Mango Basil, Lavender, Ginger, cinnamon, Grand Manier Truffle, Chrysanthemum, The du Hammum, Cafe Rum, Mango Kalamansi, Lychee; and more....
Bags of cookies are $6.75. Chocolates range from $18.50 to $55.00.

Crikey! One minute I'm searching the web for things on how to cook rice, and the next I'm reading Jin Patisserie. I'm not sure that's exactlly what I had in mind, Tracy, but I've enjoyed my visit. Now I'm off to try another search on how to cook rice.

My wife thinks the Sea Salt Carmel is amazingly great. These are just works of art......

I wish I could understand how doing a search for rice got me to Jin Patisserie. Not that I mind, you understand Tracy. It's just that I don't think it's exactly what I was looking for :0)

Great review! Loved Jin Patisserie when I went earlier this year. :) Yum! My faves are still the Lychee and Sea Salt Caramels.
