Located conveniently right next to the LSE (London School of Economics and Political Science) the Hot Gossip Cafe is the perfect hangout for students and busy office workers in need of a clean tidy place to relax. There is plenty of seating, lots of food, drinks and snacks to choose from. The staff are friendly and helpful (one of them gladly swapped me a cold juice from the fridge with a warm juice from the storeroom without any fuss). Now there’s a first!

Started work local to to the coffee shop/cafe. Looked nice from the outside. Staff were a bit rude, considering the high pricing (almost as high as Pret!). Quality of the products wasn’t great, more like Sainsburys sandwiches. The coffee I had tasted awful, the milk was really hot and ruined the coffee taste. I think they use the same coffee as Wetherspoons, so no great quality there either. The only positive is the fact it is close to my work. With Pret and Eat opposite, I won’t be going back.
It looked a bit shabby, but I thought I would give it a try. The service was poor and the quality of food was more greggs / market stall than anything else. Not to impressed based on the high prices. Overall, I don’t think I will be going back.
