☕ Morning at Café Roma – Roses, Cured Meats, and The Brownie

☕ Morning at Café Roma – Roses, Cured Meats, and The Brownie

There’s something effortlessly romantic about Café Roma at Goshen Resort. Maybe it’s the Roman columns in the background, maybe it’s the morning light filtering through the windows—or maybe it’s the simple delight of holding a delicate fabric rose while waiting for breakfast.

But what really stole the show that morning? It wasn’t the architecture. It wasn’t even the scenic reflection on the café glass.
It was the food. And that brownie.

🌸 A Rose to Hold, a Breakfast to Remember

Guests at Goshen get a free breakfast with their booking, served at Café Roma. It’s a small touch that feels generous, especially when paired with the baskets of fabric roses available for photo taking.

I picked out two blush-toned ones—soft and full, like peonies in full bloom. You’re free to take them around the resort, pose with them, or simply admire them while sipping your coffee. It adds an unexpectedly sweet and almost bridal feel to your morning.

🍽️ The Kapampangan Standard Was Met

Since Goshen is located in Tarlac, part of the greater Kapampangan region, we came in with very high expectations when it comes to food—especially anything involving cured meat.

And the breakfast? It did not disappoint. The tocino-style cured meat was flavorful, balanced, and cooked just right. Served with rice and egg, it was a simple dish done well—and that’s exactly what a good morning deserves.

But the real surprise was still waiting.

🍫 The Brownie That Deserves Its Own Blog

We didn’t plan to write home about a dessert, but honestly?
Café Roma’s fudgy brownie is one for the books.

We’re loyal fans of the classic Brownies Co. squares—those dense, dark blocks of childhood nostalgia. But this?
This was big, thick, gooey, and served warm. More of a full dessert course than a casual pastry. Rich in chocolate, soft in the center, slightly crisp on the edges—a brownie that could count as a meal if you let it.

It was unexpected, indulgent, and honestly? Worth the trip all on its own.

✨ Final Thoughts

Café Roma might be tucked within the grand setting of Goshen Resort, but it offers something much quieter and closer to the heart:

• A warm, satisfying breakfast

• A touch of floral whimsy with fabric roses

• And a brownie that will absolutely change the way you think about resort desserts

If you’re ever lucky enough to spend a morning here, don’t rush it. Hold a rose. Take in the view. And whatever you do—don’t skip the brownie.
