"Owned and led by French-born chef Kévin D’Andrea, this bakery is best known for its tartelettes and pastry-focused, French-style offerings. It was showcased on a cooking series in which the chef cooks with U.S. Olympic athletes—one episode specifically featuring the bakery’s tartelettes—highlighting the owner’s background as a finalist on the French edition of a cooking competition and a contestant on Top Chef. The bakery functions as both a creative outlet for classic French desserts and a platform for the chef’s media and culinary projects." - Nadia Chaudhury
