My girlfriend Coral just moved to LA and we went to Jin Patisserie. I first read about Jin in a magazine reviewing Macaroons. It's taken me about 6 months to find an excuse to drive up to Venice but I finally made it. Unfortunately (again) this was the week that I misplaced my camera so there are no pictures.
Jin Patisserie
Jin is a small cafe/bakery in Venice. They only have outdoor seating and indoors is only for their shop.
Next time I would like to check out their tea menu options but this time around we decided to keep the meal short and sweet.
We split their Lunch Set which includes a Sandwich, green salad, chips and cake of the day. We chose the duck proscuitto and brie sandwich. The salad was simple mixed greens and a light vinegarette. The cake of the day was a sponge cake with a strawberry mousse and strawberry gelee on top. This was a very nice light lunch.
In addition we tried
Spring Bouquet: fluffy meringue, light exotic cream, fresh mango & strawberries (served on weekends only)
Green Tea: green tea bavarois & red bean paste on green tea sponge
The Spring Bouquet was fantastic. The green tea was a bit overwelming with macha for my taste and not enough red bean for balance.
To go I ordered an assorted box of 12 macaroons. The flavors ranged from traditional to asian flair. Caramel Fleur De Sel, Chocolate, Cinnamon, Mint, Lemon, Pistachio, Strawberry, Tahitian Vanilla, Tea, Ume
My favorite was the Mint and I was a bit disappointed in the Tea and Ume since their flavors were not as distinct as I had hoped.
