I really enjoyed my coffee and felt like I was being attended by my aunties, great coffee, even better service and really cool concept

I ordered a white chocolate mocha it was good, for some reason it was kinda stuffy and humid inside. I was going to study but changed my mind after that. One thing that I disliked was the pricing of items weren't accurate to what you pay at the register. read more

Coffee and Chisme - Iced Abuelita Latte and Iced Cinnamon Latte ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

Came here on a rainy day... in search for some warm Cafe de Olla. Bought 3 and my family and I really enjoyed it. The host was so helpful. She recommended the coffee cake and it was delicious. Def want to come back to enjoy coffee there to be able to read some of the chisme read more

This café has great service overall! The staff are friendly, bilingual (English and Spanish) and it feels familiar. Also, the food smells great. I had a bagel with cream cheese that I enjoyed. However, I ordered an ice vanilla latte with oat milk, and it was entirely too sweet. They were so kind to remake the drink without any syrup, but the espresso itself tasted burnt and undrinkable. I think that they have the potential to be an amazing coffee shop if they're able to hone in on the espresso. If you like sweet coffee and coffee dessert drinks then this spot might be for you. Street parking is available around the café. read more

Coffee and Chisme - Iced vanilla latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

A small little coffee shop with big heart. The concept is also fun. Every table has a bowl filled with post it, with chisme--gossip--written by patrons. You can spend your time sipping your hot coffee while reading or adding hot chisme. The staff was supper friendly. Not sure her name but the short woman with glasses was super friendly. She saw me working out of my laptop and made sure I knew the WiFi and were outlets are. She even brought me a cup of water to my table. Definitely will be coming back to try out their food menu. read more

Coffee and Chisme - Banana Match with Oat Milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

Located in a questionable area but have it the benefit of the doubt bc of the higher ratings but was let down - hard. Super friendly workers - very nice and sweet but that's where it ends. The decor is trying and has a nook facing the window, greenery and some neon lights. Bathroom doesn't have a working sink - had it wrapped in a trash bag. No makeshift sink anywhere to wash hands so that's a red flag. Now for the drinks - absolutely gross and no coffee detected. I could tell by the colors I was going to be disappointed and sure enough straight to the trash. I got a coco puff iced coffee and it was like sweet water. The horchata frappe was ice and milk. No espresso used at all. $14 for 2 trash drinks is the low of the weekend. read more

Nice little spot in South Gate. We need more places like this one. The iced code de olla was a lot better than expected. The sweetness was just right (not too sweet!). Also had an oatmeal and it was okay (bit too watery, but still good). I enjoyed these two things while reading some good chisme. And the service was great. Got my items pretty quickly. read more

Coffee and Chisme - Hot Caff Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

I ordered an Oreo and caramel frappe. My parents enjoyed them very much. The staff are very nice and attentive as well. Parking in the area is a little tough but doable. Inside there is not much seating as it's pretty small but it's a really cute and clean. The chisme bowls are too funny! I spent a good while reading them as I waited for my drinks. It seems they get a good flow of customers as well so there was a bit of a wait but I'll definitely be back!! read more

Coffee and Chisme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

Nice little cozy place. They have really cute decor that goes with their business name. If you need a place to work or study or even just catching up with friends then this is a great spot. They also had a few books on display. I ordered an abuelita frappe and it was delicious. It tasted just like the abuelita hot chocolate. Their selection of drinks is wide so you are bound to find something you like. Their hot drinks selection is also big. Staff was super friendly and nice and I love that this is a family opened business so we did see the mom working with her kids and it was so cute to see that. read more

I've visited Coffee and Chisme a few times and really enjoy the vibe and concept. However, during my most recent visit it was extremely hot inside especially with temperatures around 90° outside. It felt uncomfortable for customers, and I honestly can't imagine how hard it must be for the staff working long shifts in that heat. read more

The service and environment were good. Staff were friendly. We got the horchata frappe & chocolate abuelita latte. The horchata frappe was too sweet. We recommend to the chocolate abuelita latte. Highly recommend! read more

Coffee and Chisme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

The concept is amazing, the jar of Chisme and the environment is great. Iced Cafe de Olla was delicious, it's my go to. I've also gotten the affogato since they serve Thirfty ice cream! The crepes are good, just have to be patient when ordering food made to order. Limited parking but a fun spot if you have the time and want to support a small business. read more

Starting off by saying I have been coming here regularly. Chicken bacon ranch panini was delicious. No complaints with the food. My issue is with the coffee frappe. It was very watered down and could barely taste any coffee. Will give them another chance but getting more difficult to support considering it is a coffee place first. read more

Have stopped by a few times and love every drink I've tried, from the cafe de olla to their lattes. I have yet to try baked goods and food. Will definitely be coming back to try other drinks. Their staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This place is a little hidden gem, very cute decor. read more

Loved this place. The service was amazing! The food was delicious and the chisme had me and my husband entertained:) Recommend if you are in the area. read more

Went earlier today, and the only thing that I noticed is that it was unbearably hot, I did not stay as long as I wanted to. I feel for the coworkers who have to endure that heat! Adding some conditioning would be beneficial. read more

Love the cafe de olla here but in the past two weeks I have ordered it two times and both times it has tasted really watered down. Not sure if there is a different person that is brewing it. I would love for it to taste how it used to, i'll give it another try in a few weeks. read more

The atmosphere here was so cute! Staff was very friendly and they were so accommodating to my large study group. The older lady came around asking us if we wanted refreshments and the younger lady was very helpful with her recommendations. The cafe de olla was my favorite and it's great as an americano and also as a hot coffee! I will be coming back again because they truly deserve to thrive, I wish nothing but the best for this business and I hope to see this store here for many many years! read more

Coffee and Chisme - Iced Cafe de Olla Cafe de La Olla - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

Found this place through a quick search while in the area early for an event. The name is as cute as the space's aesthetic -- a mix of garden and modern minimalist design. It's quite small with limited seating so might not be the best for those looking for a work space or outdoor seating (there weren't any the day I came and not sure it has the capacity for it). The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is great. They seem to be quite busy with pick up orders because it was nonstop and our two drinks took a bit of time. My friend ordered the coco puff mocha and I ordered a caramel latte. I didn't try to cocoa puff drink (though it looked amazing and my friend said she liked it) but my caramel latte was not that great. I actually couldn't finish it or go beyond a few sips and it was the syrup used. The caramel tasted pretty artificial so not for me. I would love to try the place again and go for another drink, maybe like a flat white to assess espresso flavor. But all in all, it's a really nice space and worth visiting in the area. read more

I really wanted to love Coffee and Chisme, but honestly, it should be called Milk and Chisme. I was excited to try a new local spot, but unfortunately, our coffees tasted like straight-up milk with a splash of creamer--zero coffee flavor. To top it off, the ordering process was frustrating. The lady taking our order asked us about five times what we wanted, yet still managed to get it wrong. Not exactly the smooth experience I was hoping for. Hate to say it, but I won't be coming back. Plenty of other great coffee spots around that actually taste like coffee. read more

Love the name that they decide to go with which makes it fun and funny. Overall, the quality of shop is very clean. I was able to speak to the owner Veronica who is very nice and uplifting. The coffee is good and worth a try especially being a local business which I'm a big fan of. I got the Horchata frappe and it was a right amount of sweetness. read more

The matcha blended drink I got was awesome! Good taste. Great customer service. Just wish they had stevia.

Delicious coffee! Coco puffs coffee is way better than what you get anywhere else!! And amazing price point

Cute little spot in South Gate in an area with no similar businesses so that's a plus. I've you enter you get a warm greeting from the owner who treats you like family. She's incredibly sweet and checked in often enough in case there was something else you needed. I didn't wait long for my order either. I ordered the lavender latte and the spicy chicken chipotle panini and both were delicious. The lavender latte was very earthy and the right amount of sweet. The doctor chipotle chicken sandwich was also really good. It wasn't spicy but that's okay. The only drawback is that parking is rough but I found parking a couple blocks away and just walked over. read more

The service is good. Cute idea and very entertaining reading the notes of people's tea while you're waiting. Took about 25 minutes to get my order with medium traffic coming in but the drink was delicious. A little bit more help in the kitchen/ baristas and this place would be poppin. The wait is the only reason I docked a star read more

We waited over an hour for 2 chicken paninis and 4 drinks on a Sunday afternoon. They got our order wrong about 2 times until they finally got it right. It was hectic that day. The chicken paninis were good and the drinks ok. read more

Their drinks don't taste like coffee., go there if you want to drink sugar! I tried the abuelita ice latte it was disgusting. 1 sip and straight to the trash read more

I drove about 30-40 minute with heavy traffic to try this location. I luckily was able to arrive 12-10min before closing, the young lady said she was no longer taking orders. She said she had many orders, which in fact may be valid, but from a customer standpoint it didn't feel right. Just because you have many tasks to do, doesn't take away from the fact that the shop was not yet closed. I think maybe there should be a better system or at least have the courtesy of taking orders til 8pm. It would have been okay to at least have notification informing customers their cutoff time for orders on their website/ social media page, so that customers know beforehand waisting gas and time. I suggest they change their hours if they will be neglecting orders before their designated close time. Extremely disappointed. read more

Like a few other low rating reviewers, I too had high hopes for this establishment. My concern is less about either or not it was trendy enough or if the concept aligned to the name of the establishment, but rather the overall absence of customer service. My wife attempted to order a chocolate chip ice cream (which was prominently on display next to the cashier). The barista insisted that they didn't have chocolate chip, but rather mint. She claimed the flavor was pistachio. After going around in circles for a few minutes we begrudgingly paced an order for "pistachio". My family (next in line) ordered a different ice cream. After waiting almost 20 minutes, we saw that someone scooped the wrong flavor(s) from mine and my families order. Root cause? Apparently we ordered pistachio... not CHOCOLATE CHIP... WHICH THEY HAD... because it was ON DISPLAY. I get it, the cafe was hot, there was no air, it was busy, but do you have to be dismissive to guests when they place an order? Let along argue with a guest that's trying to help you out? If anyone would like to reach out to this establishment to discuss other observations and my recommendations for improvement, please feel free to do so. read more

Loved the friendly staff and my coffee it was so good!!! I loved the cafe de olla. I also had a chipotle chicken sandwich and it was great. I don't really like spicy and it wasn't but had lots of flavor. Definitely a great place to come with your girlfriends and hangout read more
