National Cereal Day- Celebrating today!

Even though we're a bit late, we're excited to celebrate National Cereal Day at Goudy! Join us as we honor this fun day with a delightful assortment of cereals. Whether you prefer classic favorites or are eager to try something new, we've got a variety of options to satisfy every palate. Come and enjoy a bowl (or two) of your favorite cereal and make this belated celebration a memorable one!

Fun fact: Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was created in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson, who ran Our Home on the Hillside, later known as the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York. Despite its innovative concept, Granula never gained popularity due to its inconvenience; the dense bran nuggets required overnight soaking to become soft enough to eat.

Willamette Valley Pies

Attention all pie enthusiasts! If you pre-ordered pies, please come to Goudy Commons during meal times from March 19th to March 21st to collect your delicious treats. Don't forget to pick up your pies before spring break to ensure you have them for your holiday celebrations.

We also want to thank everyone who participated in the Willamette Valley Pie tasting event. It was a great success, and we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did!

Rick’s Special

This delightful beverage combines the rich, bold flavors of chocolate with a hint of mint, creating a perfect harmony of taste. The deep, robust espresso is blended with creamy steamed milk and a luscious chocolate sauce, then infused with a refreshing mint flavor. This mocha is a decadent treat that will invigorate your senses.
