This isn’t really a restaurant but rather an espresso bar. The two ladies running the place, however, serve a really mean Breakfast Burrito that has consistently been the best I’ve had anywhere. The place has a really warm and cozy feeling and is setup in a way that invites you to sit down and stay around for a good long time. Various interesting artifacts and devices can be found in this place along with artwork (for sale) on the walls. If you need breakfast in South Lake Tahoe you should definitely consider going to Hot Gossip. You can (NO LONGER) find Hot Gossip in Lake Tahoe, 1007 Ski Run Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, CA.
Update: Wow. I can’t believe that was in 2006. It’s now 2011 already. Hot Gossip had moved from 1007 Ski Run Blvd to 3447 Lake Tahoe Blvd #C. No wonder we couldn’t find it in the summer of 2010 when we were looking for it. The place has changed a bit but the raspberry coffee was really good!
Really enjoyed the relaxing, hippy, atmosphere at Hot Gossip, south Lake Tahoe. A great place to be to enjoy good inexpensive breakfast (best we found)in chilled out surroundings; free use of internet if you purchase drink/food. Can quite easily spend an hour or two, nice change from the more expensive restaurants around there, for breakfast, and noisy casinos. Georgina and Graham, Wales, UK
