Every Taste—and Every Table—Tells a Story
At The Savory Pantry, every taste—and every table—tells a story. We welcome you to gather 'round and experience the joy of good food, good drink, and good friends. We believe that some of life's greatest moments are created around tables and in kitchens with those you love, and that food and drink unites us all.
When you host a festive gathering with the specialty foods and crafty cocktail ingredients we carry, you'll know that years of dedication and knowledge are distilled into the bites or sips you are about to enjoy. When you set the table with our unique serving pieces or deck out your cocktail cart with new barware and artisan accoutrements, you're sure to hit the style mark with your guests. And when you're searching for a culinary gift, you've landed in the right spot. You won't find our uniquely themed bundles anywhere else; they are creatively assembled, look fantastic, and shipped with utmost care. Maker's narratives shine through our product selections so you'll know not only where they come from, but who makes them and what motivates them to do so. We are dedicated to quality, and believe that when you demand it, you support small farmers, beekeepers, bakers, designers, craftspeople, and other artisans whose life's work is perfecting what they're passion about. We embrace both their time-honored traditions and ingenuity that elevate and enrich their foods, books, and service ware. When you rely on the best, good taste is simple.
In our stores in Hot Springs and Saratoga Springs, and our online marketplace, we are here to enliven your appetite, pique your curiosity, and ensure that you are always getting—and gifting—the tastiest selections available!
History
Founder and CEO Keeley Ardman DeSalvo's passion for quality design and ingredients began at her family's restaurant, The Pancake Shop, a legendary breakfast eatery that still thrives today under DeSalvo's watchful eye. "I grew up watching my mother build a very successful business based on premium ingredients and superior service," Keeley says. "I appreciate the way she made her customers feel as if they were guests in her own home. The food was simple, but extraordinary. Customers would line up down the street to have 'breakfast with Ruth.' It was a destination, and thankfully, still is."
Since its opening in 1998, The Savory Pantry in Hot Springs has developed a loyal, nationwide clientele. In 2014 The Savory Pantry opened a second location on historic Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York. "The similarities between Saratoga Springs and Hot Springs are many: a historic racecourse with some of the finest thoroughbred racing in the country, a vibrant arts scene, natural spring waters, the mountains and lakes, and a sophisticated, small town feel," says Keeley who splits her time between the two locales.
With both stores and its lively online shop, The Savory Pantry has become a nationally known destination for food, drink, and entertaining gifts, serving enthusiasts from coast to coast. Come visit sometime, and let us show you what's new on our shelves!
