Hidden Gem in Highland

It was a delight to drop in here for a light lunch, after the bedlam of Christmas shoppers in the city centre. It was quiet, pleasant decor, well-presented, modestly-priced, tasty soup with quiche and salad and efficient and friendly service. Although it was a treat to be away from the crowds, it seems a pity that more people weren’t there to appreciate it.

Nettes, kleines Cafe in der Nähe der Stadtbücherei. Dort zu sitzen fühlt sich "very british" an. Wir hatten Tee und hausgemachten Kuchen in dicken alten Ledersesseln und Vintagetischchen genossen. Sehr hübsch dort. Die Preise sind ok. Zahlung mit EC Karte möglich.

Probé la pastinaca y la sopa integral de mostaza, estaba delicioso, el café era bueno y el personal agradable, asientos cómodos

Ser CELIAC y también VEGETARIANO causa algunos problemas al comer fuera y podría contarte algunos lugares en Inverness donde me he sentido mal después de comer. . . . . . . . pero después de comer en el café Hidden Gem, todo lo que he sentido es felicidad. Los cocineros se aseguran absolutamente de que no haya contaminación cruzada. ¡Me siento a salvo! Las chicas te animan, sirven con una sonrisa y nada es demasiado para ellas. La cocción es para morirse. . . . . . . GLUTEN de Jane: los pasteles GRATIS son solo un mecanismo de goteo y no tiene sentido ir allí si quieres evitar el pastel. . . . . . . . . no es posible. ¡Pastel de navidad para celíacos! ¡Guauu! La elección de este pequeño café es excelente. ¡Lo amo! ! ¡Me encanta todo sobre esta joya escondida!

Viajando a las islas paramos en Inverness para tomar un café y vimos este pequeño lugar. Tiene un área de sala de juegos para aquellos con niños pequeños y tiene un menú razonable para un lugar tan pequeño. Agradable, personal amable.

Une belle découverte tant gustative que reposante ;) vous pouvez manger de bons petits plats pendant que les enfants s’amusent ! Au top !

For Coeliacs, this is a dream foodie place. The cook is coeliac and completely understands the condition, treats every meal with the same professional standard and even caters for me being both Coeliac AND Vegetarian! On top of that, she even made her fabulous, amazingly chocolatey Rocky road bars which are both for 'ordinary' eaters and another separate bar for coeliacs. The staff are super-friendly and have become friends with us over the time. I wouldn't eat anywhere else with such confidence.

Lovely food, and really doesn’t feel like it is in the middle of a town at the bus station! Nice service and atmosphere.

It's always great to visit this cafe. The staff are very friendly and the food is great quality at great prices - a very varied menu including Gluten Free. We go often and it's comfortable, relaxed and thoroughly pleasant.

Staff very welcoming. Tea for two and bacon rolls in a relaxing friendly environment were just what was needed to satisfy the appetite and refresh the soul. Excellent range of home baking as well as snacks and light meals.

Stopped by for lunch as near our car park. Service was a little slow but we were in no hurry. 2 coffees , panini and salad soup and sandwich £14. All made fresh. Nice lunch

Fantastic local cafe with a very pleasant atmosphere and delicious food. They even have tray bakes that are gluten free and diabetic friendly.

Following a course in the spectrum centre I went for lunch with a work associate in the hidden gem cafe. It was amazing, the food and service were brilliant, and the atmosphere was lovely, family friendly and welcoming. You would never have thought it was right next to a busy bus station! Lovely :)

They weren’t lying when they called this place “Hidden Gem”; it’s both a gem and it’s hidden. There’s only a board outside to draw your attention to the place, and when you go through the doors to the building, the cafe is still not obvious. But once you get in, it’s lovely. The centre of Inverness is all hustle and bustle, especially near the two main transport hubs of the railway and bus station. Neither has a good cafe, so with this place being within a short walk of the railway and right on the bus station, it’s a perfect stop. It’s in a kind of theatre complex – obviously working and doing some interesting things – so it has a nice feel about it. They do the usual tea and coffee – soya as an alternative to milk too, if you want it. The cakes are lovely and they offer gluten free options. There’s a menu of snacks which appear to be freshly prepared for you. We didn’t since we were in for a cup of tea, but they looked very nice. The tea was very good, a decent teapot and good cups - makes a change! The room is large and airy, in two areas – a more formal seating area with tables and a large area with comfy sofas too. The room has a lovely spacious feel about it. If you are in the centre of Inverness, or if you’re changing trains at Inverness station and have some time to kill (often the case since the trains rarely connect well) then take the short walk through to the bus station and you’ll find the place right opposite the library. Do give it a try – you won’t be disappointed.

baking is exquisite, and the coffee is fresh and cheap. soups and salads, stuffed croissants, panini and baked potatoes - little gem in centre of town

My wife and I use this place regularly when we are going through the buss station or at meetings. Great wee place

I tried The Hidden Gem Coffee Shop in Inverness today.Tucked away at the Bus Station,had no idea this place existed.I had a slice of Orange Drizzle Cake( Delicious) and a Coffee.A lovely atmosphere, and the staff were very warm and welcoming.Highly recommended.

Das hidden gem befindet sich gleich neben einem großen, günstigen Parkhaus und fußläufig zur Innenstadt.

Popped in for a coffee recently. Nothing special but great location being opposite the bus station. Reasonably priced. Staff were friendly

Han sido un par de veces últimamente como soy un conductor de autobús y tienen una hora y media para matar entre turnos. La joya escondida fue recomendado por otro conductor, y es fácil ver por qué. Todo el personal es muy amable, la comida está bien preparada y la zona de estar es luminoso y ventilado. He estado en otros lugares para comer alrededor de la estación de autobuses y son todos bastante grave. Si tienes a miles de personas en cada día, ¿verdad?

Hemos comido aquí varias veces, y la comida es muy razonable. Por desgracia, no hacen pan o panecillos de color marrón. Un montón de tocino en sus rollos de tocino, que son muy baratos.

Si estás esperando un tren o un autobús en Inverness, olvídate de las estaciones propias instalaciones - son escandalosamente caros y ofrecen una experiencia horrible. Cabeza en lugar para esta "joya escondida" dentro de un edificio llamado el espectro de centro (no es evidente de inmediato desde fuera que hay una cafetería dentro de este edificio, pero si con seguridad puesto en el centro de la estación de autobuses en uno de los pasillos de salida hacia el aparcamiento de varios pisos, en que 9 o'clock - a través de puertas automáticas de cristal).

Located adjacent to the bus station, the hidden gem is the easiest of 4 nearby cafes to overlook, but the one with the most reasonable prices. Baked potatos are worth having😃👍🏻

una franquicia dentro del espectro Community Center, la joya escondida es un refugio cómodo de la ajetreada estación de autobuses, con categoría superior sopas, sándwiches y horneado

Asked for a chocolate eclaiar £1.70 only for it to be hard went up and complained the girl said would u like something else I said I will have the finger bun with pink icing guess what that was hard too so I just got my money back plus they charge u for hot water at £1.20 wouldn't recommend this place

Having just got off the bus after a longish journey we followed a friend's recommendation and after looking around a bit we found the Hidden Gem. It's in a community Centre and has the look of a community centre cafeteria however the food was great and the staff very friendly. Really cheap, great value. We had soup to warm us after a freezing journey and it did just that. Bacon rolls with cheese....delicious. Well worth the visit, we'll be back

There are a number of choices for snacks in the Inverness Bus Station area (Charlies, Ashers and Hidden gem). The latter is my favourite as it is clean, good seating and reasonable prices. It has an area for the amusement of children, toilets within the centre and a good view of the buses coming in/out, if awaiting one. Although the half nearest the window/buses is raised (a couple of feet) there is a mini lift as well as the steps (for those with mobility problems). Their daily soup or sandwich/soup is worth a try. having very the homemade flavours and in the case of the second, a generous side salad.
