Smell the coffee and have it with Cuncolim’s Goes brothers at Café Bom Gosto

In small towns like Cuncolim people generally prefer going to nearby cities whenever it comes to organizing meetings. Bom Gosto was a small effort from me and my brother to provide Cuncolimites a scope to gather their artistic and intellectual potential and discuss it all in one place.

Iconic Red Door, Mini Library & Fab Interiors, Café Bom Gosto, Cuncolim is the Perfect Coffee Place

Cuncolim, South Goa has just got a new foodie destination in Café Bom Gosto and is Cuncolim’s first premium coffee shop. It is founded by Goes Brothers, Rohan Goes and Milroy Goes, who are talented in their own fields!

Rohan is a GettyImages recognised travel photographer, World Photographic Cup Team Leader for India and has also authored a book, ‘How did I travel to China’. Milroy is a renowned filmmaker and has directed ‘Welcome Millions’ that represented India at the 91st Academy Awards (Oscars) 2019. Together these brothers own Buenos Muzik LLC in Wyoming, USA and Goa, India.

 

And this chic café is a product of their creative juices combined. The core theme of Café Bom Gosto, which means good taste in Portuguese, is coffee, music and books! This premium coffee shop has a grand entrance which is a fetching red British telephone door. Behind that door lies insanely cute interiors, a mini library, open piano and guitar.

 

Located in the heart of Cuncolim at MJ Residency, Voddy, this pretty café is very close to the Cuncolim Kadamba Bus Stand. Its interior colours are inspired by a blend of Jewish and Portuguese elements, and the walls are adorned with curated photographs clicked by Rohan.

 

The tagline of Café Bom Gosto is “Have an intellectual conversation over a coffee” and we have no doubts that the ambiance created here is all that and more! The coffee here is simply delicious and their USP. Along with scrummy burgers. You must also try their pastries such as Pastéis de Nata, Éclairs and Nutella Walnut Brownie. The location adds serene vibes, and you are always greeted with a smile here.

The need to open the café came from the fact that there are not many options to take business meetings in Cuncolim and Milroy had to travel all the way to Margao or North Goa for his film business meetings. So, the brothers came up with the idea to open a premium café right here in Cuncolim.

Like everyone, the pandemic hasn’t been easy for them either. With restrictions in place, they made the best possible use of social media (particularly Instagram), their website and WhatsApp groups to keep the Cuncolkars happy. The café has been doing good business, became mobile, started home deliveries within Cuncolim and even expanded their radius to Assolna, Velim and Chinchinim.

They don’t wish to stop at one, they have a vision to turn this brand into a franchise. And we surely see that happening!

One look at their Instagram feed and we are hungry! We simply cannot wait to head here, soak in the vibes and let the conversation flow over a cup of coffee and click tons of pics for the ‘gram. But till then, we are bringing home their best offerings by ordering in. Why don’t you do too?!

You can contact them over WhatsApp here.

Where: Shop No.7, MJ Residency, Voddy, Cuncolim Salcete Goa. 403703

portuguese nationality for goans

According to Portuguese law, Goans born before 1961 retained Portuguese citizenship after 1961 unless they officially renounced it. What that actually means is that those born in Goa before 1961 are still Portuguese citizens even today according to Portuguese law. However, since the birth records were left in Goa after the brutal invasion by the Indian army in December 1961, the Portuguese authorities are not aware of the existence of these Portuguese citizens in that part of the world. The fact remains that they are indeed Portuguese citizens according to Portuguese law and full Portuguese/European citizenship rights are available to them if they wish to avail of those rights. In order to avail of those rights, you need to register your birth in Portugal. So, this completely disregards what Indian law may say or claim about the subject. It completely disregards the pressures from UK and other European countries in closing the doors to these Goans. You need to understand the difference

Mother-of-Pearl Shell Windows - Architecture of Goa

Windows have several significant roles to play. Primarily, they help in filtering air and sunlight provide a passageway for them, however they remain an artistically explored part of Goan Architecture. In some Goan houses the window screens are fashioned out of nacre they remain characteristic of the traditional upper - classes. It is unclear where or when exactly these type of windows originated. However, thenacre of the mother-of-pearl shell was preferred over glass as it allowed for a subdued filtered light to come into rooms of a house while affording privacy. This gave windows in Goan homes a warm, translucent look from the outside while cutting off the light's glare on the inside. While superior quality timber was often reserved for the production of altars and fine pieces of furniture in Goan houses, the timber used for windows was inferior in comparison. The nacre of the mother-of-pearl, which is otherwise a waste material, was then cut into lozenge shapes and slid int
