Feeling pleased with last week’s visit to Nurvei in NW, today’s bicyclists wanted to compare it with a NE patisserie that has been receiving high praise since opening last spring.  According to the media, Jinju was founded by two Korean women who were trained in Las Vegas’s mega-hospitality world as pastry chefs, and recently moved to Portland.  

Our folks felt that the coffee was fine, and the quality of the pastries – as well as conversation – were very fine.  The limitation for us was that the inside only allows for one bench and a few stools, so hanging out required being outside and was kind of cool for a long discussion.
