Bay Bread Group's La Boulange Cafe & Bakery, the San Francisco bake shop known for its French pastries and sandwich menu, was sold Monday for $100 million to Starbucks Coffee Co.La Boulange's founder, Pascal Rigo, will remain general manager of both Bay Bread and La Boulange, while Starbucks plans to take the fast-casual restaurant chain national and fill its coffee shops with breads and pastries produced by the bakery."It's a superb opportunity to bring high-quality food into Starbucks," said Cliff Burrows, president of the Seattle coffee company's United States and Americas division, adding that La Boulange also will start selling its own special Starbucks coffee blend.As far as expanding La Boulange, Burrows said they "will take it one store at a time" and have not determined future locations. "Wherever opportunity takes us," he said.Rigo founded the company in 1999 with La Boulangerie - a bakery with an oven in the back of the store - on Pine Street, and he lived above the shop for nine years.
