The Pantry & Beanery won't give you a cup of drinking water with your order. I have asked for this on two occasions. The responses: "We don't give out water because we sell bottled water," and "It takes too much time for our barristas to hand out water."
I don't want to buy a two- or four-cup bottle of water. I am not going to drink that much. And I'm not going to stuff a bottle of water into my jacket to ski with for the day.
Free drinking water is available in every other restaurant at Spruce Peak and Stowe Mountain Resort (all these restaurants also sell bottled water). There are water fountains, or pitchers and urns, or staff members will give you water on request. Why is water so special at the Pantry & Beanery?
Hyatt (the operator of the Pantry & Beanery and Spruce Peak) proclaims that they are reducing single use plastics by offering hydration stations to guests. Talk is cheap, 'cause that's not happening at the Pantry & Beanery!
