Cured

I've been coming to Cured for a long time and get a variety of things. Always a great place to try new meats, cheeses, and prepared foods that are local or imported. It was the first place I knew of that was selling quality bread in Boulder (RIP The Med Bakery Team). Yesterday was one of my best experiences though. Stopped in to get a cheese/meat plate put together. Service at the counter was knowledgeable friendly, and flexible. Didn't bat an eye when I asked if I could choose a couple of things myself. The end result of their work was beautiful and I would've taken the plates to any fancy party in town. Not only that, but they were clearly working on more than just my plates so add some efficiency to their game which is a rare thing to find in Boulder (and most food service spots west of the Mississippi). While waiting I stopped into the wine shop in back which I'd somehow forgotten was also selling spirits and such these days. Angela and Jordan were a big help in just finding a couple of bottles for the night and genuinely enjoyed selling the products on their shelves. Overall a great experience last night that made our night just a shade better than stopping at a local liquor store for essentials. Thanks a lot, guys. I'll try to come back more often :)

Stalked their IG faithfully during the Pandemic. The boards and ingredients always looked incredible and as soon as they posted they were open we made the trek up from Pueblo with our chilly bin for some charcuterie treats! Service was amazing and I was told a story about cheese mongers singing to cows on more than one occasion. Which was a true delight! Just the human interaction was a delight! And they made you feel warm and welcome. No cheese snobbery to be found anywhere!

Last day of my visit in boulder. I was waiting in line to get coffee from boxcar and the chocolate shelve was right in front of me. Those chocolates looked so good so I picked up a few. And staff from boxcar told me I need to pay at the other counter and she said they probably won’t be open until 10:30. Then I realized they are actually two separate shops. My bad. So I walked up to the register and asked the guy who was working at the register: “I know you probably won’t be open until 10:30 but is it possible that I can pay these chocolates right now?” I haven’t got a chance to tell him that I was just here to visit and it’s impossible for me to come back. “No. we open at 10:30”. He paused: “ that’s why we put a rope right there.” Okay I am sorry I guess… and bye forever.

Amazing charcuterie plate. I ordered the charcuterie plate for the first time yesterday and it was worth every penny! I requested to have the cheese and meat to be separated due to an allergy and they were super accommodating. I also wrote a note asking to add an alpine cheese and they did! and it happened to also be my favorite cheese . I was so impressed with the aesthetics of the platter too :) they added some fresh 🌸 flowers and super fresh fruits. The cheeses and meat came in a to go boxes but as soon as I transferred the goodies on a cheese platter it looked even more delicious. Highly recommend getting this platter from them :)
