Gossips Coffee House

This looked like a nice independent cafe. It appeared promising when we went inside. We ordered coffee from a waitress. A couple of other waiting staff also came to our table. The coffee arrived. It was weak and barely drinkable- we all agreed. Surely a cafe can serve nice coffee?

Nice Atmosphere. Awesome selection of cakes/ scones etc. was a bit disappointed in the all day breakfast. Mushrooms very plentiful but only one rasher of bacon one sausage (which was very dry). Toast was plentiful the jam was lush though. Service was good even though it was quite busy.

A right con job! They offer coffee and a mince tart for £5.25 and then when you order two they tell you when you come to pay it’s only if you buy Kenco coffee! So they sell you a coffee with no real taste and a dried up mince tart but your bill is almost £13! A right rip off!!! Don’t worry there are plenty of cafes in Southwell!

I have never ever been to a cafe or restaurant and let me say that I have visited quite a few) as clean as Gossips. We called in for a late breakfast and found every aspect of our visit to be perfect...service, food and friendliness of all the staff. It’s a shame for me that I don’t live closer although clearly Gossips is extremely popular with the good people of Southwell.

Called in here for lunch with my husband,it wasn't too busy and found a table,asked what the home made soup was,it was cream of Mushroom,didn't fancy that so ordered Apple pie and Custard, didn't have to wait long for it,it came with a jug of custard each,the portion was a good size,we both enjoyed it,the waitresses were friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome.would recommended.

I visited for the first time, and decided to prefer the full breakfast with coffee and orange juice. The waitress was very polite and the service was excellent. The breakfast itself was extremely tasty and you can tell that they use high quality ingredients. I can see why this business has been in existence for 36 years as they know how to look after customers. Definitely will be making a return visit. Thank you very much for a lovely breakfast and coffee.

Vey charming and extremely busy local business its encouraging to enjoy a high quality coffee shop , as opposed to the branded uniformed and uninspiring choices served by uninterested staff. Gossips is nothing like this: the staff were outsanding, helpful and accurately taking our order. Very good savoury items, and delicious cakes no factory made and wrapped items here. Gossips is an attractive place to meet, eat and enjoy for both locals and visitors alike no wonder it is so popular.

My husband and I visited Gossips on Friday 21st July 2023 at around 10am for breakfast. We have visited Gossips for the last 10 years and like to support local businesses. However our experience this time was disappointing. My husband and I found a table and waited to be served. The lady waitress who was in charge proceeded to clear the tables and did not acknowledge us…she continued to clear and wipe the tables. There were no other customers waiting to be served! Approx 10 mins went by…then a younger girl came to take our order. We had our breakfast then proceeded to the counter to pay. we were the only ones at the counter paying). The waitress who ignored us earlier then said ‘was everythi...

We should have left when we saw how many people weren’t eating, but waiting. A waitress told us her colleague would take our order fine. The colleague came over, but we had to ask for a menu, which she took from another table which had people seated there, eating. We asked her to wipe the table, as it wasn’t clean and had a used sugar sachet on it. She took our order. 10 minutes later she told us that one of the dishes had sold out. We re ordered one dish. She then said there was a bit of a wait. We ordered originally at 1.38 and the food, after a prompt to another waitress, eventually arrived at 2.15! 40 minutes for 2 jacket potatoes, a bit of garlic bread and 2 coffees! If we had been told...
