Dry Storage — Restaurant in Boulder

PEANUT ALLERGY ALLERT They substitute a peanut ingredient product and do NOT list it on the menu.

I love this place, I do. I've been coming here since it opened, and I'll go back. However, I encountered a truly unsafe practice today, where the congee I usually order and eat had a substitution of PEANUT chile crunch as opposed to the usual chile crunch, listed on the menu. (I own chile crunch at home, so the usual kind used and clearly listed on the menu is not a problem.)

As someone who suffers from a severe peanut allergy, this is unacceptable and unsafe. I will not be able to work or eat for a day or more because of this (I'll spare the gory details). If this had happened to a young child, or someone with less body mass, they might have died.

In a country where peanut allergies cause actual anaphylactic shock and sudden death—they're just not "popular" to list anymore, like gluten and dairy—this was terrifying.

I'm writing this review so others with allergies may know...

Food is ok but I will not recommend this place to anyone. It simply got all the wrong vibes to be a decent place to eat: a noisy and messy dining environment, mediocre service, way overpriced food (as expected so I didn't take any star away), and always having only a couple of sad tiny loafs of bread at the counter (me and my friend had been deterred from dining/purchasing there for a couple times because of it). Moreover, skipping elderly people who need a little more time to serve other customers (just me then) is not the way you treat any people. It could have got two and half stars based on food alone (they also gave me the wrong tea,...

I have been going to dry storage for about a year now, since my first time the prices have increased multiple times and now a 5% service fee is automatically included on top of that! It’s a big bummer to me because I love the bread, fresh food, vibes and friendly staff. A thimble of tea or coffee costs $8 out the door and is not refillable, it goes down in one gulp. I feel the staff is being duped bc I cannot afford to tip what I usually did in the past. I will continue going to dry storage but unfortunately I won’t be able to tip anymore. Please lower your prices or take off your service fees so I can take care...
