Our Story

The Hidden Gem Bake shop is a local family business, born in 2018 in the lively fishing village of Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. 

The bakery as you see it today, started out like many others before it, with love, passion and a dream. Transformed from an above suite home, into a thriving gourmet and wholesale bakery, The Hidden Gem Bake Shop has had its fair share of evolutions. 

Our hand picked team comes from many backgrounds, with the core passion of baking from the heart. From animated home kitchen cooks, to professional Red Seal Chefs, our bakery prides itself on inclusivity and growth. Our reputation on word of mouth has allowed us to stay true to being the “Hidden Gem” of the West Coast.

Our chef Khà

Dedication is the name of the game for Khà. With no formal background in baking, his expertise stems from practice, patience and passion.

Travelling from Quebec, he brings his skills into the heart of the Hidden Gem and continues to build upon the foundation of quality, fun and creativity!

When Khà is baking, you can always be sure that it is made with love.
