Let me “Gossip” a little bit about Gossip Tea Lounge Durham NC.
We stop for a visit on the way home from Asheville. I have to say it’s the cutest, most unique tea lounge I’ve ever seen. You could tell they put a lot of effort into this business. From beautiful decoration to comfort to coziness to cleanliness to fresh ingredients, and making sure all the food and drinks are delicious, they got it 100%!!! We were well fed before getting back on the road.
Two days later…
I ordered too many drinks so had to keep a boba tea in the fridge for 2 days. Did you know, the tapioca bobas were still soft and chewy when I drank the tea 2 days later? Amazing! Bravo, Chef!!!
Don’t miss out on a chance to visit this adorable place if you’re in Durham area.

What a nice surprise for my wife to have discovered this place. We both spent time in Taiwan a year ago with our son who is there. And we had a fabulous time, we also had a great time eating and drinking at Taiwanese and Vietnamese cafes, tea/boba coffee shops…and this one has that modern flair-invite. The menu is plentiful yet not overwhelming. I had the Bao Bun (braise pork), it was very good & and both of our drinks were very good (me: Lemon-Lime Tea, wife: Iced Vietnamese Coffee (sorry I forgot to ask if the brew was native…would be cool if it just happened to be, because Vietnamese coffee is very good). So our experience on our Sunday morning outing was very nice. Pricing was appropriate, to us…plus this is an independent business, and which we appreciate.

I have been looking for a good bánh mì for a long time. These are great. The french bread is light, chewy, airy, and flaky/crispy.
It has great pickled vegetables, a good amount of cilantro, great sauce, and flavorful meat. It also has jalapenos.
I wouldn’t complain if it had a little more jalapenos, but I’ve been to 23 out of 30 places in the triangle that have bánh mì and this is the best bánh mì around.

Polished, comfy dining space, friendly & attentive staff, and food that is well-balanced, refreshing, and deliciously robust.
There’s an especially wonderful attention to detail in the banh mi sandwiches. From the fresh crusty bread, evenly layered fillings, and even the elegant packaging, every part of their sandwiches are intentional, earnest, and impossible to resist.

Okay, if you’re looking for an awesome new spot, you HAVE to check this place out! We just went for the first time and were blown away. The space is super modern and clean with such a great, lively vibe. We had the banh mi, bubble tea, and spring rolls, and every single thing was delicious. 10/10 would recommend! We will be back!

Wonderful spot! We tried quite a few things but I only managed to take 1 picture. Everything we tried was amazing and I especially love the flavor of the dipping sauce for the dumplings. The spring rolls were a comforting handheld salad, so fresh and delicious! The refresher and salted Vietnamese coffee complimented well with the food. The atmosphere was phenomenal, you can tell they put a lot of heart and soul into the place.

Super excited to have stumbled upon this place while out on an errand run today! They are right across from New Hope Commons making it super convenient to grab a bite or a drink after stopping by Walmart or DSG in the area. Grateful they chose to set up shop here and save me a trip to Cary for Asian food (looking at you, Hmart). The atmosphere beautiful and modern and could easily replace Starbucks for a place to meet up or catch up on work.
Highly recommend their bao and fried tofu! The bao were super flavorful but not greasy because of the cilantro, cucumber and carrots
Their Vietnamese coffee is delicious but also definitely not for those new to coffee because it’s strong and the bitterness might throw some off. I got mine with matcha and I could really taste the freshness of the matcha which was super refreshing.
The owners and staff are also super friendly and kind. My order was delayed because of a technical issue but the owners went above and beyond once I let them know. Please try the mochi too (especially the black sesame mochi)! You will not be disappointed!
Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back

A local germ in the area, serving authentic Banh Mi with a wide variety of teas, coffees, and snacks. The store is quite spacious, lively, and cozy with plenty of seats and tables. Staff have top-notch service, giving out good welcoming vibes, and always trying to finish your orders in perfect timing.

I’m beyond excited to have this new spot for boba, coffee, and banh mi! The shop is brand new and the interior is gorgeous. There’s plenty of space to hang out with your friends or study. You can order food/drinks on a kiosk and they have a wide variety of food and drink options.
Vietnamese iced coffee – the first LEGIT vietnamese iced coffee I’ve tried in the triangle area. It’s not just espresso with condensed milk, it tastes like actual viet coffee like I’ve had at so many restaurants in NoVa. The brew is strong and robust, but smooth. Even with oat milk, it is not watered down at all. With 25% sugar it is just slightly sweet. And I love the pebble ice.
Milk Tea – There are lots of fruit teas on the menu, but there aren’t many options for milk tea. No jasmine or oolong, etc. Just one milk tea option which made me hesitant that it would be good. But I was pleasantly surprised! The milk tea was fragrant and had an excellent tea to milk ratio- again, not watered down. 50% sugar was a perfect regular sweetness to me. The cup was mostly ice, so the tea went quickly. Next time I wouldn’t mind paying $.60 extra for no ice.
Banh Mi – I tried the sizzling beef and honey glazed pork options and both were great! To start, the portions are generous. $10-13 for a very filling meal is a great deal these days! The bread has a proper crunchy crackly exterior and they do not skimp on the meat. They had all the right accoutrements to balance out the sandwich, giving it freshness and more crunch. This would make for a great lunch.
The owner is friendly and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back and try their other drinks, snacks, and desserts with friends!

Love this place! Great service and cozy yet upscale ambiance. They have fruit tea, milk tea, and a host of entree and dessert options too. They also have really tasty banh mi sandwiches! You can grab a seat and play board games, read a book, study, and just vibe out. Parking gets a little tight since it’s in a shopping area but usually there’s some spots open a block down or two. Definitely will be coming back more often.
