Over the first few weeks of school people have asked us to look into a few different things regarding the free coffee in the morning, the Monday bagels, and the Construction Snack Cart. Basically, the questions were: Will there again be soy milk and hot chocolate at the Pound and Austin coffee stations as there was last year? Will the Monday bagels be back again this year? And will the Wednesday Snack Cart be back again this year?
The answer to all of that is, yes. In fact, I think much of it may have been resolved already, thus making this post a bit pointless, but none the less – here’s what we know. There was no intention to discontinue any of the above. There were some delays and complications caused by the switchover to Restaurant Associates, but all of that should be (or soon will be) ironed out.
On a related note, people continue to ask about getting a free coffee station in Langdell to service those two classrooms. The Dean of Students Office has said they will look into it, but in the past the added cost has been prohibitive.
As always, please contact the Student Government directly or any of your Representatives if you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns.
Is there any way we could get a toaster for the bagels? It would make bagel Monday SO MUCH better.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the comment. Good idea. I’ll see what I can find out.

I would second the toasters idea!
Excuse my ignorance
But was exactly is the Wednesday snack cart?
Thanks in advance for your answer,

Hi Saadia,
The Wednesday snack cart is really the Construction Snack Cart. It was started last year by the Dean as means of, sort of, giving a little something back to the classes that were having to bear the brunt of the construction inconvenience, but not ultimately receiving (at least directly) the benefit, i.e. the new building and facilities. The type of snack and location varies depending on the month, but it is generally outside or inside the Hark and the food is somewhat themed to the month.
Thanks for the question,
Brian
Thanks for your answer!
Can you please ask Restaurant Associates to bring back the strawberry cream cheese? Plain cream cheese tastes disgusting, and the assortment of jams and jellies would more properly belong on toasted bread or bagels. Please ask Restaurant Associates to order strawberry cream cheese.
Hi Natalie,
I’ll see what I can do.
(Still working on that toaster too.)
Thanks,
Brian
