Reception

Michael Russell included JinJu in The Oregonian's 2019 overview of Portland's best croissants.[9] Willamette Week included the bakery in a list of "12 things that didn't suck" about 2020. A food writer for the newspaper said, "For aficionados of laminated pastries, JinJu is a precious gem. The best known variation is the croissant, which at JinJu is dark, golden-baked, buttery perfection—if you can get your hands on one before they sell out. But the crown jewel of the lot is the weekend-only gianduja kouign amann, a carmelized sugar-encrusted, crown-shaped pastry with a center core of hazelnut-kissed chocolate cream. It is truly world class. Order it and you might forget for a moment that it's still 2020."[10]

In 2021, Katherine Chew Hamilton included JinJu in Portland Monthly's list of "Our Top 6 Chocolate Croissants",[11] and iHeart's Zuri Anderson included the bakery in an overview of Portland's best breakfast restaurants.[12] Michelle Lopez included the bakery in Eater Portland's overview of "Where to Find Flaky, Crackly Croissants in Portland",[13] and rooke Jackson-Glidden and Alex Frane included the bakery in an overview of "Where to Find a Real-Deal Breakfast in Portland".[14] In the website's 2022 "Guide to Five Unforgettable Portland Pastries", Natalee Quinn and Jackson-Glidden wrote, "The Vegas tenure of patisserie power couple Kyurim Lee and Jin Caldwell shows in their sliver of a bakery: Every pastry in the case is gorgeous and meticulously constructed, from the heart-shaped yuzu bonbons to the shatteringly flaky croissants. Nothing beats the showstopper that is Jinju’s lemon-raspberry tart, a crown of toasted meringue surrounding a core of silken raspberry-lemon filling, cradled in a buttery pastry crust."[15]
