The word "Reinette" means "little queen" in French, and it is also a type of apple originated from Normandy, France. It bears golden skin and a pink blush, and its sweet sour taste is particularly suitable for making pastries.

 

Reinette Cafe & Patisserie Ltd. started from the childhood dream of Chef Jinnee Lu, who from an early age vowed to open a bakery because "sweet desserts are always associated with joyful memories," she said. 

 

Chef Lu received professional trainings from Le Cordon Bleu Paris and Swiss Hotel Management School. She is a certified barista by City & Guilds Barista Training, and has worked in Le Meurice Paris and Disneyland Hotel Paris. Lu's pastries are the combination of tradition, elegance and creativity.
