~ About Us ~

BEGINNING

Named after our Maltese born parents, Gemma and Joe, our parents have played a major role in our lives in more ways than one. Having purchased a very successful mobile fast-food business back in Australia in the 80’s, selling all sorts of fine fare, this gave the siblings our first taste of serving great food, and service that always came with a smile.


~ About Us ~

AMERICA

Fast forward to 2011, Steve and Jay found themselves living in America chasing completely different careers, Jay in acting and Steve in music.The constant travel traversing the U.S. birthed the love of the road for both brothers, and therefore the love of Diners. The Diner really brings home the ethos and essence of what we want to create at Gemma Joe’s. Many times, during our numerous road trips across the US we were comforted and embraced by an ever-present character- The American Diner. It took us in for early morning coffee and breakfast, and was there when we needed a late meal at night.

IDEA BORN

We dreamed there, expressed ourselves, laughed, found respite, and connected with many locals and characters across the US. Gemma Joe’s was birthed during these trips and we are forever grateful for the American Road and the American Diner. We both have a lot of experience in the hospitality sector, as we both have worked extensively not only in Australia, but in the U.S and Europe for many years. Our love for food, and all things Americana, as well as our joy for serving people, brings something special and different to Malta. Our shaved ice is also unique to Malta, as we have an American made machine that shaves the ice to a very fine consistency, and is therefore very different to the usual slushy or granita that people are used to here, as it is finer, like snow, and the U.S acquired syrups, are to die for.

PRESENT

We also serve our very own recipe hand crafted ice cream, which is between a gelato and American style ice cream, which is creamier and richer, again, a unique thing for Malta. We are serving classic waffles, and our signature unique croissant waffles, classic hot dogs and 1950’s style rich and creamy milkshakes and both drinks and alcoholic drinks to name a few. By supporting my brother and I in pursuing our dream of establishing a business here in Malta, will be something to look back on in pride. We both thank our customers, whom we consider our guests, for giving us a go and for your continual support.

~ Why Choose Us? ~

All boasting aside, both my brother and I have a way of connecting with people, and this has a lot to do with our background in traveling the world and learning to connect with diverse ranges of people and cultures. So when you come to Gemma Joe’s not only will you receive great tasting food, made with love, but you’ll get to have an experience too.

You’ll feel like a guest, not a customer, and this is exactly the way we like to see our customers. As guests. And you will feel recognized, respected, and appreciated. We have a genuine curiosity with history and geography too, which helps us connect even deeper with our guests who come from around the world. Our years of working in acting and music has also given us people skills that not many shop owners, let alone employees, possess.

Again, adding to the experience that is Gemma Joe’s. And the thing is, it’s all genuine and real. Being the owners of a business which is the namesake of our mum and dad, as well as something we are passionate about (The American Diner, and connecting with people from around the world), gives us a sense of deep gratitude as well as deep purpose, meaning, and responsibility, and we can’t wait to see how this already wonderful journey continues to unfold.
