Such a gem of a place!! From the vibes to the drinks to the food, everything was so unique and well done. The staff here are really the sweetest, they really take care of every customer and want you to have the best experience. Highlights for the menu: the ochazuke is SO good and comforting and the chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR. The fizzy matcha and espresso yuzu drinks were also so so good! But truly you cannot go wrong with anything. read more

We live in Denver and Dry Storage alone is enough of a reason to go to Boulder. Most recently we stopped by after a hike. What can I say? We love dry storage for the sweet marriage of Japanese fare with sourdough & laminated pastries. Where else could you get an amazing croissant breakfast sandwich alongside fresh onigiri and be so glad you tried both?? The coffee here is excellent as well, and we love browsing some of the curated offerings on their floating shelves. If you enjoy making your own sourdough, do not pass up the yecora rojo flour. It makes the best sourdough. If not, make sure to take home a sourdough loaf. There is seating inside and outdoors at multiple picnic benches. Service is friendly and prompt. Lastly, keep an eye out for seasonal pop events! We haven't been able to go yet but def want to. read more

I'm so glad I got to try Dry Storage at the Boulder farmers market near Pearl Street. I got this apricot danish and it was so so good. The pastry was super flaky, the custard was light and not too sweet, the apricot filling wasn't too overwhelming, and the apricots on top were so sweet and fresh. It also looked beautiful, I love how they added the flowers read more

Best baguette in the Front Range. A glorious crust - the ends worth fighting over- with a perfect chewy crumb. The flavor is beyond any other that I have tried in the area and not unlike what I have had in France. Chapeau! read more

A tucked away cafe underneath an apartment complex. It's cozy inside and has a lot of natural light. They charge 1% of your order total for zero foodprint which I didn't really know what that meant. There was also a 5% service fee that was more about what it covered (insurance costs and livable wages). Apple pecan swirl ($6.50) - super crispy and flakey. There was some apple crumble inside. The pastry wasn't too sweet. Croissant Sando - the sausage and egg tamago was very good. There was gochujang so it felt like a fusion of Japanese and Korean. The latte ($4.50) was a decent latte. read more

I am always looking for a good baguette, which is SOOO difficult in Boulder!! I was disappointed so many times after reading the good reviews on Yelp. I finally found one - Babette's in Longmont. I used to get a couple of baguette every week. But change in my schedule and the distance made it impossible. Now I found this place. It was hard to determine how good their baguette was without photos of sliced baguette. One day, finally tried their baguettes. They had the good consistency inside and out. But we are not the big fans of sourdough. It was just a bit too sour. But what an interesting menu! Onigiri and Japanese breakfast! But the onigiri gu is nothing common in Japan. If I had more open mind, I would have tried it. But it so so easy to make at home. We will stay with the baguette! read more

Located off Arapahoe, in the Peloton neighborhood, Dry Storage is a great spot for lunch or breakfast The place is not very big, with just a few tables inside and outside, but each time I visited, they seemed to do a lot of takeout, and there was plenty of room for eating on-site. Service is friendly and the food delicious! read more

Great cafe! The drinks were good especially the matcha latte! The chai is sweetened so if you don't like sugar in your drink that's something to know. They had a special of vegetarian biscuits and gravy. It was really delicious! I love how everything is scratch made here. We went in the afternoon before closing, they were sold out of everything in the pastry counter. Service was quick and they have nice indoor and outdoor seating. Would highly recommend read more

So nice and relaxing but very small inside, just a few tables. What attracted me was their Japanese inspired menu items including their matcha latte, which was great! It wasn't too sweet and they only have oat milk as a non-dairy alternative which is fine but would have liked almond milk. It did come with a cute latte art, which I was not expecting. It wasn't too busy on a Saturday morning but they did have steadily flow of customers coming and going. It was a bit hard to find because it's "hidden" in a residential/commercial plaza and the signs were not very obvious. I tried their cheese pizza since it was literally the only savory item they had plus it was the last piece. I asked if that was the last piece and the cashier said yes. It fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the crust made of sourdough. It taste even better when it's heated. What disappointed me was after eating my pizza they brought out a new batch of pizza, which the cashier did not tell me even though I asked. I would have liked fresh made pizza rather than them trying to sell me the last pizza for who knows how long it's been sitting there. I also didn't see any of kimchi pizza which they posted on their website. I also bought a croissant muffin which is a bit deceiving because there is literally just a small amount of cream on top. Other than that, it was nothing special and I would not order that again. I was told by the staff that their Farmers Market booth would have more choices and speciality pastries but when we got there they only had sweet pastries. They were not leftover either since they had stacks for pastries. I'd probably go back when I'm in the mood for good sourdough pizza. read more

Dry Storage, Dry Storage, Dry Storage... You saved my day & the weekend! Stopped into this cuuuute (yes, all the extra u's are needed) boutique of a coffee & bakery shop for bread, then walked out with their seasonal pizza and pear espresso tonic! YUM A ROO - to all decisions made. As advised, I heated up the pizza on a sheet pan when I got home. It came out crispy n' chewy. I kept craving more and more bites! The loaf of bread, a classic sourdough number, was a huge hit with friends and family! A "this is the best sourdough" may have been thrown around once or twice. ;) The pear tonic (while a little pricey) was an instant hit to me, myself and my need for a refreshing caffeinated beverage! Would I order again? Yes. Finally, the service at Dry Storage was kind, patient and friendly. It was my first time in so I was sort of a deer in head lights -- unsure what direction to go with my order. You know. The guys never made me feel rushed and answered all my questions about their products! Really appreciated that. If I'm ever rolling by again... it'll be hard to not stop in and pick up some more baked goodies! read more

Wow! As both a baker and half Asian who sometimes dearly misses being able to have an Asian, savory breakfast here in Boulder, I feel like I just hit the jackpot. Great range of artisan flours, available in bulk 50lb sizes as well. Wonderful food (from pastries to excellent congee) and drink menu (from coffee, tea to sale and wine). A new, somewhat hidden gem in Boulder! read more

We were recommended this spot from a friend for coffee and a bite to eat. I had an espresso and it's not usually my go to, because sometimes it can be hit or miss at some cafes. It was surprisingly delicious, they have it dialed in. We also tried the smoked trout onigiri, fish board, and pizza by the slice. I loved the fish board. The bread was delicious and the salted butter was amazing. Would love to come to back here and try a sandwich. Staff was friendly and there was a lot of seating indoor and outside. Lots of cute items in the merchandise area like tinned fish and smoked salts. I loved it. read more

Coffee was good although slightly more expensive than typical for the same serving elsewhere. I also came for the breakfast sandwich specifically, of which they were "sold out" at 10:30am on a Sunday. read more

This place is fantastic. Coffee, food, ambience... the croissant was among the best I ever had. Bought some of their flour for myself and my dad, who loves to bake. Really do think it's the best quality flour I've ever used. Strange location, but kinda like that; adds to the mystery. Only downside is it's small inside and seats fill up fast. read more

Dry Storage - people working in a coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I believe in good service and good food. This little hole in the bourgeoisie wall place is wonderful for its products. But because of it being so insular it can come across as insulting to the customer. Kelly is there often but often is griping about his other successful businesses while customers are trying to purchase goods. The staff can sometimes emphasize some ingredient that is unimportant to a true fan of taste. And I think they do well with bread, not a place to bring anyone but to duck in and grab a quick loaf if you can escape before being burdened with unnecessary descriptions of over priced products that actually are available anywhere else for much cheaper. read more

What a cute little spot! My mom and I were in Boulder for an appointment and I spotted this place om Yelp. The aesthetic looked just right!! It's located in an an apartment complex I think, but they do have a small parking lot. I got a matcha and an onigiri. Overall, both were great! Staff were friendly and I loved their outdoor seating too - there was a cute bontaical wall. Great for just a quick little coffee date :) read more

This is one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. Becoming a regular here is one of the things I'm most excited about when I move to Boulder. The seasonal latte I had here was fantastic -- flavorful and nuanced -- and the whole milk foam was like nothing I had ever experienced before; it had the thickness and creaminess of whipped cream. Natalie, Luke, and Kate were friendly, kind, and knowledgable about the coffee as well as the insanely delicious, in-house artisanal pastries. The shop also sells thoughtfully curated dry goods from around the country (think jams, sauces, etc.). On a second visit, I had their onigiri and baguette, both of which were outstanding. I'm not sure what else to say. If you're in the area and you appreciate fine coffee and pastries, please do yourself a favor and pay Dry Storage a visit.

Can't say enough good things about this bakery. The head chef personally greeted us and treated us like friends because the chef from Basta told him that we were visiting from his home town. It doesn't get better than that in terms of hospitality. The chef also took the time to explain how they mill their own flour. You can tell that they care passionately about the quality and sustainability of their products. The croissants and cookies were perfect and amazing- buttery, shattery goodness. I loved the yuzu espresso tonic as well. It was perfect for a hot day. The chef gifted us a masa tea cake and it was the best tea cake I've ever tasted. We are bummed that we live so far away from Dry Storage, otherwise we would be regular customers. read more

Beautiful shop, great coffee & pastries. But no outlets. They really should tell you that there's no outlets. Disrupted a work day sadly.

Was up in Boulder over the weekend and Sunday morning was dreary. Coffee was needed!!! Hopped into Yelp and found Dry Storage! Yelp for the win!!! Super super cool and chic inside. Simple breakfast menu but lots of good looking items! Got a cookie for little man, I got an onigiri with smoked fish -- seasoning was fiyah!!! Wifee snagged a spicey chai and I got a matcha latte. Service was prompt and sweet, inside was clean and well spread out (we took it togo). Def want to go back and try other items such as the salmon toast and some of their bread!!! Fiyah. read more

Absolutely fantastic baked goods and lunch. The salad was delicious and a work of art. Really enjoyed the onigiris and the pickles!

Excellent food. Great location in Boulder. It's at the end of an apartment complex. Food was excellent. Get the breakfast sandwich and add sausage. Also get any of the treats. We had the pumpkin apple croissant and it was to die for. I was full allllll day long. Highly recommend. Prices on the high side but it's worth it. read more

Extremely tasty food here and wonderful quality breads. I love their simple aesthetic and the influence of the Japanese culture in their menu offerings. I went in several months ago and had their egg sandwich and an assorted toast and jam selection. Their egg salad was super tasty.

Really delicious, quality spot in Boulder. If you're looking for a tasty morning meal or light lunch/snack during the day, this is the place. Love the integrity of everything Chef Kelly puts forward at his eateries, and this is a perfect casual version of that. My one complaint is that the hours are garbage. Not opening until 10am on the weekends, and then being closed M-Tues doesn't make sense. The weekend's are for finding a great breakfast spot to start the day or get that amazing coffee before or after being active. And if you have a kid(s), forget about waiting until 10am. I truly feel this place is missing out on some great weekend morning business, as I have heard this gripe from other friends as well who want to support Dry Storage, but the timing doesn't work. Great spot! read more

2.5 Stars- Four stars for the service, polite, as expected. Four stars for the yuzu cruffin (like a morning bun with yuzu inside), yummy, though the plain croissant is just that, plain. Two Stars for the atmosphere. The music is a little too loud to have a conversation and the tables are too close together to have avoid hearing everything from your neighbors, depending on the music of course. Also, seating is limited and only for two people per table. No regular chairs are provided, only bench-like seating, so no back support. Two stars for the price. Everything is expensive. Two stars for the too strong coffee (necessary to ask to leave room for cream/milk). Also, each glass or the like is maybe six ounces; small for the price. I may on special occasion grab a yuzu cruffin to go, but I would only recommend Dry Storage if the weather is suitable to sit outside or you take something to go and are not price conscious. read more
