about us
We are Amanda and Cassidy, the owners of The Hidden Gem. We met in our past careers and have always managed to find our way back to working with each other. We've always complimented each other as a team and decided to stop working for "the man" and took a leap of faith and decided to do it on our own. Combined we have over 28 years in food service. We pride in everything we make to ensure the customers are always first. At The Hidden Gem, we believe that there is a more “reasonable” way to eating great food! Where you get more than what you expect. We’re obssesively passionate about it and our mission is to make sure you are getting what you deserve! We’re not afraid to fail, it’s how we achieve what we do as a team and have fun doing it!
we're hiring!

"Hidden Gem is appropriately named! ....Also, as a first time guest, they gave my wife and I free cookies. The co-owner (my apologies for not getting her name) was engaging and very pleasant. Afterwards, I instantly signed up for their rewards and will be a regular customer. Open for breakfast and lunch 8 AM - 3 PM. Thanks to The Hidden Gem Cafe!Wade p.

"...FYI they’re in the basement of the bank building. These prices are incredible for the quality of food you’re getting. Less than $5 for a huge egg sandwich?! Amazing! Can’t recommend enough. Will be back for sure"nic d.
"Great little restaurant inside First Nation Bank building on the lower level. Has a few gluten free choices on the menu. I explained that my husband has Celiac Disease, so they washed down the prep equipment before making his food. The owners are also super nice and friendly and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. 5 stars!"tamara m.
