Just outside your door, Town Square serves as the neighborhood’s living room. Start the morning with a handcrafted coffee from Blue Bottle Coffee, enjoy a Mediterranean lunch or evening on the fireside patio at Bahche Mezzehouse & Wine Bar, or meet friends for brunch beneath the iconic pink umbrellas at The Breakfast Club Midtown San Mateo. Looking for a healthy pick-me-up? Sidewalk Juice offers fresh smoothies, juices, organic açaí bowls, and toasts made with locally sourced ingredients. Creative inspiration is always close by at Clayroom San Mateo, where pottery classes, memberships, and community workshops invite residents of every skill level to unplug, learn something new, and connect with fellow makers. Whether you’re taking your first class or becoming a regular at the studio, it’s another way Bay Meadows encourages creativity and community.
