Our story
A small shop with a long tradition.

Gossip began with a simple idea — bring the warmth of a Turkish coffee house to the middle of Peterborough. A copper cezve, a tray of baklava, and time enough to talk.
Today we serve neighbours and visitors from a cosy spot on Midgate. Our borek is rolled by hand each morning, our beans are roasted in small batches, and our team treats every guest like an old friend.
Whether you're stopping in for an espresso between errands or settling in with a menemen on a slow Sunday, we're glad you're here.
