We're thrilled to bring Goody's Marketplace to the newest community on campus, Ridge Walk Living Learning Neighborhood!

Slated to open Fall 2025, Goody's is designed as a vibrant, student-centered hub for Tritons. Experience a chicken extravaganza, with hand-breaded chicken sandwiches, tenders, baskets, salads, breakfast sandwiches, and burritos, all served with a rotating selection of global flavors.

Goody's will also boast the first-ever self-serve barista experience at UC San Diego, offering freshly brewed coffee, iced coffee, espresso, cappuccinos, and lattes.

In addition, the market will offer students all their essential grocery needs, featuring the same contact-free technology currently being used with success at Roger's, Sixth Market, and The Market @ Seventh. The new location will accept various payment options, including Dining Dollars, Triton Cash, credit cards, and EBT, making it convenient and accessible to all.
