Bay Meadows

In the heart of Bay Meadows Town Square, a vibrant new destination is serving up more than smoothies—it’s serving up community, health, and local flavor. Sidewalk Juice San Mateo recently opened its doors to bring a quick, wholesome dose of nutrition to your day. While it’s new to our neighborhood, Sidewalk Juice actually began in San Francisco—launched by founder Jason Nazzal in the Mission District in 2006. From those roots, the brand has grown with a commitment to freshness, community, and ingredient integrity.

What sets Sidewalk Juice apart? As Jason Nazzal puts it:

“Sidewalk Juice stands out from other juice and smoothie brands by keeping its focus on freshness, community, and simplicity. Every smoothie, juice, and bowl is made-to-order with produce that’s local. We also love to play with ingredients and come up with new items all the time like our new Watermelon EMPIRE juice.”

Local sourcing is more than a tagline here. Sidewalk Juice proudly uses ingredients procured from local growers, and many of their menu items are crafted with care only possible when you’re sourcing nearby. The kitchen also offers 100% organic cold-pressed juices and organic acai bowls, ensuring your health-forward choice doesn’t mean compromising on quality.

Sidewalk Juice at Bay Meadows in San Mateo isn’t just a grab-and-go stop. It’s a place to slow down and savor. Outdoor tables invite you to sit back and take in the Town Square energy, while inside barstools offer a cozy perch to enjoy your drink or meal. Just steps away, Bay Meadows’ pocket parks, trails, and sunny corners beckon you to take your bowl or juice into the fresh air and soak up the neighborhood vibe.

We asked Jason what ingredients he’d mix in a smoothie to describe Bay Meadows neighborhood:

“I must go with my favorite healthy green smoothie with spinach and kale and ginger to add little spice and help you digest. Plus, it’s on trend. I don’t think green drinks ever go out of style.”

A Taste of Favorites & Lifestyle Pairings

The menu already boasts fan favorites that reflect both creativity and the brand’s wellness DNA. Some of the most popular items include the Watermelon EMPIRE (a collaboration with EMPIRE Records), Blueberry JJ Tropics, Green Energy, the Original Acai Bowl topped with banana, strawberries, blueberries, granola, and coconut shreds, and the avocado toast. And when asked to make local Bay Meadows-inspired recommendations, Jason didn’t disappoint:

“While tending to the garden in Persimmon Park try a green juice in the morning to cleanse your body. After a Basecamp HIIT workout order the Super Power smoothie with protein, and while watching a soccer match at Bay Meadows Park try Nuts about Nutella smoothie. If you’re poolside at Fieldhouse or The Russell, a green juice is a great choice or try something medicinal like the Turmeric Tornado.”

Because Sidewalk Juice is woven into the Bay Meadows experience, it complements the lifestyle here beautifully. Need a little pre-hike boost or post-workout refill? Grab one on the way in or out. Hosting a casual neighborhood meet-up? Let someone else handle the prep, just cue Sidewalk Juice. Want to bring your drink to go and settle in at a park bench? Easy.

We’re excited to watch Sidewalk Juice become part of your daily rhythm, whether it’s morning green juice walks, weekend breakfast bowls, or mid-afternoon pick-me-ups. With its colorful Bay Area spirit, health-forward offerings, and warm local presence, it’s a perfect addition to life at Bay Meadows.
