klatsch
klatsch [klahch, klach] noun
a casual gathering of people, especially for refreshments and informal conversation: a sewing klatsch.
This is a word I knew; the times I've seen it, it's almost always been used referring to neighborhood housewives gathering together in the mornings after their husbands have gone to work and their children are off at school, a "coffee klatsch" . It also comes to mind when I see groups of older men who congregate in various restaurants around town.
I reckon there's more gossip going on in the latter.
