Dry Storage is a cozy, hidden gem in Boulder, offering artisanal baked goods, exceptional coffee, and a unique Japanese-inspired breakfast menu in a charming space.
"Milling its own flour from heritage grains, this tiny but mighty cafe and bakery from much-awarded culinary visionary Kelly Whitaker turns out not only exceptional toast and pastries but a handful of other items to pair with its bevy of coffee drinks, including croissant sandos with koji sausage, Swiss cheese, tomato, and gochujang aioli; onigiri with trout; and lunchtime pizza by the slice. Can’t make it by the 2 p.m. closing time? Hold out for dinner at sibling Basta around the corner, which also makes a pretty perfect pie." - Rebecca Treon, Josie Sexton, Ruth Tobias, Nisa Sedaghat
"A bakery and mill based in Boulder, operated by the Id Est Hospitality group." - Nicole Adlman

"From there, Whitaker and team used their know-how to open a string of other places, each one with a distinct style, including Dry Storage, a bakery/café in Boulder." - Nancy DePalma
"At the beginning of the pandemic, we started selling a ton of flour at Dry Storage. People would come in and buy 20 pounds at a time and we’d be like, “Um, do you have a restaurant?” and they’d be like, “No, I’m baking!”" - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
