The Top People In Tech Are Freaking Out Over Starbucks's $100 Million Purchase Of Their Favorite Café

So Starbucks bought some little French bakery in northern California?

Oh, non, my friends, non. If you want to understand the living, beating pulse of the tech world today, you must understand the phenomenon that is La Boulange, the 19-café chain that Howard Schultz & Co. just dropped $100 million on.

First, the baked goods: We hear they're delicious. We'd be all over them if we ate carbs.

The coffee: superb. Coffee snobs like GigaOm's Om Malik are freaking out that Starbucks is going to ruin it, of course.
