Taste test: Starbucks' new pastries

Starbucks teamed up with San Francisco's La Boulange bakery to overhaul its pastry offerings. How are the new treats? We tasted them to find out.

No one goes to Starbucks for the food, and today the coffee chain launched a new food menu with the hopes of enticing people to order raspberry passion fruit loaf cakes with their chocolate cookie crumble Frappuccino.

The menu features sweet and savory pastries from San Francisco’s La Boulange bakery (which also makes baked items for Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods), and we stopped into a shop this morning to bring some treats back to the office to try. The items ranged from things we’d totally get again to things we couldn’t even finish.

Here’s what we tried, in order from best to worst.
