Food was amazing, me and my friend split the peach cream waffle and the chili chipotle panini and they were both delish. The panini was my favorite, i was so crunchy on the outside but the inner bread was somewhat soft and the inner chicken was amazing. I got their hazelnut coffee latte with oatmilk and out of several coffee shops ive had, I have not tasted anything like this. The flavor was a good blend of sweet and coffee bean savory. It was really great, I was surprised. Service was outstanding, the owner was super welcoming and sweet. It felt like a cozy little nook at home. Staff checked in to see how we were doing and if there was anything we needed. Me and my friends felt very welcomed. read more

Honestly less than mid, I asked for light milk and extra ice and an extra shot.. they gave me light ice and extra milk and the coffee was not strong at all. Cold foam tastes like egg. And the time we waited for two drinks was 28 minutes from the time we got in line, (with no one ahead of us in line) not worth it at all The girls were friendly but they were not efficient in service. They advertise chisme in form of little post it notes but you can't actually write any chisme in yourself. They might have run out of post it notes but who knows. The coffee shop was pretty and low lit which I appreciate but it was very small and felt kind of cluttered. They have outdoor seating tho. Paid $18.58 just to toss my coffee in the trash.... Im a bit of a coffee snob so please take this review with a grain of salt. read more

I love supporting local businesses, and Cafe y Chisme is one of my favorites. It's women-owned and run, which makes it even better. My go-to is the café de olla with cold foam--so good every time. The staff is always really kind, though service can be a bit slow depending on the day. Overall, it's a fun, cozy spot to hang out, sip your drink, and catch up on some chisme read more

Came here for a quick latte stop. I usually don't write reviews, but I felt like I had to about this place! Immediately was greeted by the friendliest staff and the fastest service ever. Place was nice, clean and cute, and felt so welcoming. One of the ladies thanked me for stopping by multiple times, and if I lived in the area I would be coming here every week. The cherry on top was also a really delicious mazapan latte for a good price. read more

First time customer and let me just say we loved our drinks. We order the iced cafe de olla with cold foam and a Carmel macchiato. Both were extremely tasty. The guy that helped us was super friendly and helpful. Did tell us about the popular drinks and recommend his favorites. Inside the coffee shop it's nice and small and cozy. They still had the decorations from Christmas, indoor seating. I enjoyed reading the chisme ppl leave behind. A small hidden gem in sg that you should try! read more

Our daughter wanted to go here after seeing it on instagram. It is a very nice small establishment that serves coffee, lemonade, and other drinks. They also serve small dessert type sweets. The iced banana mocha is very good. Also the raspberry mojito mix lemonade is also very refreshing. The chocolate and carrot cake cupcakes are very good too. And the ice cream is good too. Lastly, the unique feature of this place are the Chisme jars they have in various places in the store. These are jars where people can write down bits of gossip or thoughts or blasts, for others to read. Some are quite funny and some are outrageous. Recommend you go and enjoy read more

Coffee and Chisme - Matcha, banana pecan muffin, & a bowl of chisme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - South Gate, California

The service was great. Diego rang us up and was pleasant to be helped by. I had a difficult time choosing between 2 items and Diego helped pick one that ended up being exactly what I needed to please my coffee itch. Customer service from Diego and the other caffee barista girl were great. They are extremely hardworking being that there were a lot of people and the only two working that day. With the amount of people, the number of drinks and food items they had to make was incredible to watch. Best part was that this didnt affect how long my drinks were going to take because they arrived sooner than expected. The pastries looked SO GOOD! I tried the blueberry scone and it was warm and soft in the center. I preferred it that was then how they are traditionally. The service was EXCELLENT! The interior looked CLEAN! Coffee was AWESOME! The Chisme was JUICY! Prices are very FAIR! I hope you get a chance to try them out! read more

Forgot to post this draft but came back in February and my drink was awesome! I got the Coco Puffs Iced coffee and it had a strong coffee taste but also tasted like coco puffs at the same time! The inside is great for studying, nice seating area available. The parking is not the best tbh but I got lucky and found a spot right in the front as someone was leaving. Would come again! read more

My work bestie and I decided to give this place a try. The menu has many options so I recommend looking at the menu ahead of time so as not to become overwhelmed. I had the iced hazelnut latte and grilled cheese sandwich. When we initially arrived they were one person short so taking our order took a little longer than expected. The person making the orders kept reassuring us that she'd take our order soon. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit outside because the place is small and can get a little noisy. The only recommendation I have for the establishment is to keep the doors closed to keep flies and other bugs out. read more

This place is so cute! The señoras working behind the counter are providing warm and welcoming hospitality. Proud of them for learning the ins and outs of coffee & coffee culture! They had coffee knowledge and were very pleasant. They brought my coffee & pastry to me from behind the counter. They really made this a memorable experience. This coffee shop is located in the city of South Gate, this is not a suburban area, it's a very overpopulated neighborhood with limited parking, street parking is your best bet! Complain all you want, this is a fairly new concept to this area. They are doing a fantastic job. The menu is pretty extensive--I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. I ordered the iced Cafe De Olla with cold foam. I do wish the coffee was stronger and less sweet but the cold from was tasty. I'd get it again with a shot of espresso. I also ordered the coffee cake & it was great, not too sweet, perfectly warm & spongy. Loved it! The prices here are super affordable. Definitely worth it. The chime jar is such a vibe I love the concept. When I walked in a few teenagers were writing down their chisme and we all laughed at reading some of other folks chisme. Overall a great experience I really appreciate what they are doing here! I'll be back! read more

Absolutely loved this place! It was so much fun reading all the chisme stories they had in the jar!

Food was good and the drinks were good as well and all the chismes were juicy as well I will be coming back to this location

The concept is great! Loved the anonymous chimes in the bowl! Such a conversation starter and crazy stories shared. There was a bit of a line but went fast and we revived our orders fast too. Most of the coffees we tried were good with the exception of a hot americano, it wasn't too strong. We sat outside and it was a good environment. Would go back! read more

Coffee & Chisme is a cute hole in the wall that is a flair of Latin culture and trendy concepts! We were a little hesitant about the "B" rating, but did our due justice and looked around and didnt see anything out of place. So be weary. If you wanna just come for the chisme, they have some seating outside with the bowls and seating inside as well! We weren't planning to stay long, but couldn't resisit! They have post it notes that that you can also write on and leave your own! We got the cocoa puffs cereral drink, the lavender lemonade, cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, & carrot cake, blueberry scones (i liked it, but cousin thought it was a bit dry) and a coffee cake. All in al, service was fast, not a lot of seating, but if youre coming in with a small group. You can find a spot. Plenty of street parking (check signs in case of street sweeping). Also, no AC, so beware if going in the summer. All in all, a cute place to stop by. read more

‼BEWARE OF THE UNDISCLOSED PRICE INCREASES ‼ Love supporting small businesses, pero if the menu you are displaying reads a certain price, you HAVE to honor that price. Or disclose the new prices to customers so they know before they order that the prices they have on their menu DO NOT reflect their current prices. I ordered a medium iced caffe latte de vanilla, and was charged $2 extra from the price shown. I asked the cashier why I was charged extra and he said the menu they have up there was from two years ago. I was so excited to try this place for months and I finally got a chance to come, only to be extremely eat down First and last visit Im sorry, but never coming back and not recommending at all. Again, just to reiterate, everything would have been all good if you had just gave me the heads up about the price increases beforehand, pero no read more

I stopped by today and was helped by a young lady named Angelica. She was extremely friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Right before I paid, she even reminded me to stamp my rewards card which really showed her great attention to detail and care for the customer. She made my iced vanilla coffee perfectly, exactly how I asked. Angelica kept a smile the whole time and truly made the experience pleasant. She definitely deserves recognition. Thank you, Angelica! read more

Wash doing laundry down the street and while I waited for my clothes to try I stopped by here. The parking is quite confusing so we ended up parking by the high school around the corner. If it were during school hours, we definitely wouldn't have found parking. We were immediately greeted as soon as we walked in! We needed a few minutes to decide what to order so the barista told us to ding the bell whenever we were ready which was pretty cool. Once our order was placed, we waited about 30 minutes before we got our drinks and pizza panini. There were already two guests who were waiting for their order to be done. So, we were right behind them. They seemed pretty staff so I'm not really sure why it took so long. The people who were there already had their drinks and food. They only had a few seats and they were already taken, and the store was pretty small so we were an inconvenience to anyone else waiting for their order or trying to order. Everything was good and made to order and worth the wait however i recommend placing an order online if you do decide to stop by. read more

Iced white mocha was EVERYTHING - hands down best coffee I've ever had. Chocolate croissant was FILLED with chocolate - so so yummy! Plain bagel with cream cheese was filled with cream cheese (girlfriend loved it). Mount Everest waffle was a delicious plain waffle - crunchy and moist at the same time. The barista was so sweet, explained everything we would need to know, expressed great communication. The building itself had great vibes, cute little building. 10/10 recommend, here for vacation and plan to come back to try more! read more

This coffee shop is amazing. Everything that we ordered was delicious. We ordered drinks, pastries, and sandwiches and everything tasted delicious. The service was great. The lady who took our order was super friendly and kind and make sure that we were enjoying our food once it was served. I love the decoration. I took more pictures of the decoration than the food, but I will definitely be going back for more and I'll remember to take pictures of the food next time. read more

My brother ordered their Abuelita Frappé. He rated it a 7.5/10. We also got one of their pastries--the banana muffin! Rate: 8/10. Super tasty, and even tastier warmed up!

Ordered an abuelita latte hot, and an iced cafe de olla. Also ordered a bagel and coffee cake. Coffees were delicious and please keep in mind, every drink is made to order. Don't expect your drink to be ready IMMEDIATELY. These are craft made drinks and they're delicious. Service was excellent and friendly. Think señora vibes, and they had recommendations since it was my first time. Ambiance is super cute. The chisme bowls are PIPING HOT! El chisme está bueno! So while you wait for your order, feel free to read the chisme, and insert your own!!!! Parking was a pain, but we managed to find something close by. The only downside was parking. Love this place. Everything was great. I'll be going back for sure. read more

Cute aesthetic, friendly service just a heads up, I couldn't order through yelp app. Cashier said you have to go through clover... Very cool that they have pastries from homeboy industries and thrifty ice cream. I ordered an iced vanilla latte with a swirlof caramel it was ok, it wasn't delicious that I would be coming back to this area for or making a special trip. I can't imagine if I didn't ask for caramel, a bit too strong for me I do like to taste the sweet. Also, parking is not very readily available and unfortunately service was wayyy to slow for me eventhough there was 4 people behind the counter. read more

I was recently assigned to work in South Gate after a 3 year hiatus. Whether or not this is going to be a permanent gig doesn't matter since I have Coffee and Chisme to keep me company. This particular part of State Street doesn't have a Starbucks or Tierra Mia nearby. I was craving my go-to Horchata Frappe that I get at Tierra Mia, but my car was plugged in and charging and I didn't want to go through the hassle of using some electrons in the middle of my charge. Street parking is tight, but if you work nearby, like me, it's a just a quick walk. The place is small, to be sure, but it's chill with a good vibe. There's one main counter that has a Thrifty Ice cream display that greets you when you walk in. There's some lounge seating elevated right up in front, along with a couple of tables and some bar stools if you want to eat, drink, work of gossip (chisme). The lady running the place is really sweet and prefers to speak Spanish, but she can easily accommodate English speakers. The menu is extensive with cold and hot drinks, various sandwiches and panini's, and desserts. The Horchata Frappe was delicious. On par, if not better than Tierra Mia. The straw, though, is way too small and often gets clogged. I had to wait for my drink to thaw a little before I could really enjoy it. If they used bigger straws, like at Starbucks, I'm sure I would have had the full frappe experience. The sausage, bacon and egg muffin was a surprise! It was just delicious. I got mine with Swiss cheese and regular mayo. The muffin really is an English muffin, not a sweet muffin. Unlike Starbucks, it wasn't a frozen sandwich heated in an air fryer. The muffin here was toasted with butter (you could taste the butteriness in the bread) with a wonderful crunch. The sausage and bacon was not remarkable, but the scrambled eggs were really fluffy and the combination of melted Swiss and mayo added a velvety smoothness I've never had in a sandwich. I love supporting small businesses and the small upcharge compared to going to a larger chain is outweighed by the deliciousness of the drinks and food. I can't wait to try their other offerings, especially the Thrifty Ice Cream, on my next break. For an out of the way, hole in the wall coffee shop in a part of South Gate that needs a change of coffee pace, Coffee and Chisme is a refreshing and delicious alternative to the big chains. And that is no 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
