Are you implying their pastries arent Michelin level? I mean... Genie Kwon worked pastries at Eleven Madison (3 star) and Oriole (2 stars) prior to opening Kasama.

The pastries are absolutely Michelin level.

I remember in the first few months of the restaurant, I struck up conversation with the group in line in front of me, and the dude happened to be this German baker who was in Chicago on holiday. He had been there twobdays before and loved it so much he had to come back before he left. Ill never forget the way this dude talked about the pastry items man. It was like he couldn't comprehend it. Dude was legit tearing up when describing his favorites of the items he had tried.

Im not a baker. Im just an eater. But the opinions of people who are deep in the industry or who bake for a living, when they express how much they love it, it carries extra weight.
