Starbucks’ La Boulange Hits LA, to Serve Croissant Bun Burgers & Cocktails
La Boulange baked goods have invaded your local Starbucks. The coffee empire acquired the San Francisco-based bakery within the past year, and now, La Boulange is setting up shop in Los Angeles on the corner of La Brea and Fourth Street.
Opening June 12th, the new restaurant will include breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails, all of which have gourmet-style offerings. Customers will dine on sandwiches like the B.E.L.T. — fried egg, bacon, tomato, lettuce and aioli on ciabatta — or a smoked trout salad with walnut bread croutons, potatoes, apple and a citrus vinaigrette. But if you prefer to go the burger route, La Boulange will have a croissant bun to make your experience extra, er, crafty.
In addition to tasty salads and sandwiches, the restaurant is set to offer thick milkshakes made with house jams and a selection of cocktails and beer, among other items.
