"A pastry-focused operation led by chef Kévin D’Andrea that excels at delicate French desserts; the chocolate entremets and mousse cakes are notably light, perfectly sweet, and often leave diners speechless. The chef's tartelettes are now available at H-E-B, broadening access to the bakery's refined offerings." - Nadia Chaudhury
"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

"Sadly, Kévin D’Andrea of French bakery Foliepops fell victim to the Top Chef risotto curse, and he exited the competition." - Eric Webb
