Mimosa Gossip, the Stone Oak brunch bar co-owned by sisters Heather Whiting and Julia Smith, will permanently close on Jan. 29 after a two-year run. The pink-and-pastel hangout built a loyal following around flights of colorful mimosas and an unapologetically Instagram-ready vibe.
Owners Posted A Thank-You Note On Social Media
In a social media note to customers and staff, the owners wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce Mimosa Gossip will be closing its doors,” and thanked everyone who had supported the bar. As reported by CultureMap San Antonio, the post did not spell out a single specific reason for the shutdown, though it hinted at financial strain and mentioned that the menu had grown to 41 mimosa flavors.
From Opening Buzz To Slowing Foot Traffic
The sisters opened Mimosa Gossip in November 2023, telling reporters they wanted a playful, mimosa-forward hangout that leaned into neon, barn doors and rainbow accents. According to MySA, the bar launched with dozens of specialty mimosas, then later trimmed its hours when sales began to soften.
Menu Highlights And Where To Find It
The house menu features brunch staples like bagel sandwiches, avocado toast and chicken and waffles, along with shareable bites such as deep-fried deviled eggs and southwest egg rolls. Drinks come with playful names, including “Pucker Up” with cherry flavor and “Blue Bull,” a mix of Red Bull and blueberry. The business lists its address as 2907 North Loop 1604 East, Suite 301 on its official site, information that appears on the Mimosa Gossip page.
A Small-Business Story
Mimosa Gossip’s closure lands amid a broader wave of local restaurants that have trimmed hours or shut down as margins stay tight, a trend closely watched by neighborhood outlets. MySA has reported on similar cutbacks over the past year, and CultureMap San Antonio pointed to a November 2025 social media post from the business that cited a government shutdown and “hard economic times” as factors dragging on sales. For Mimosa Gossip, the final round is scheduled for Jan. 29.
