A mainstay for confections on Abbot Kinney, Jin Patisserie is opening an outpost at the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City "any day now," per Juli B: "tucked into the intercontinental hotel, shadow display boxes showcase award-winning pastry chef kristy choo's jewel-like truffles and cakes." (Juli B's non-capitalization, not ours.) If it's just like Jin in Venice, then there will be seating for a proper tea with scones and treats, as well as divine boxed truffles, cakes, cookies and more, made with intriguing ingredients—lavender, macha, all kinds of spice—to take home.
