Gossip Tea Lounge

Gossip is the Vietnamese café choice for pairing tea drinks with an actual lunch. Its menu combines milk tea, fruit tea and Thai tea with bánh mì and other savory food; the merchant ordering page also separates fresh-milk drinks from milk teas. That distinction matters if you want brewed tea rather than a dessert drink whose main ingredient is milk. Decide on the base first, then ask about sweetness and toppings. The McFarland Drive location is a separate southwest-Durham stop, so it makes more sense as a meal destination than as an assumed extension of a downtown walking loop.
