San Mateo Realtor | Local Business Advocate | Supporting Our Community’s Hidden Gems
As a local agent, supporting small businesses is one of my favorite things to do. Real estate isn’t just about homes it’s about community. A strong community is built on the people and businesses that bring it to life. That’s why I’m starting this monthly feature: to highlight local gems that make San Mateo special.
This month, I want to shine a light on one of my favorite spots: Backhaus in San Mateo.
Why I Love It
From the moment you walk into Backhaus, you’re greeted by the warm, comforting scent of freshly baked goods. Their pastries are nothing short of extraordinary. Whether it’s a perfectly flaky croissant, a decadent Danish, or a rich and indulgent pastry with a unique twist, each bite feels like a moment of joy.
What truly sets Backhaus apart is their attention to detail in every creation. They take the time to craft pastries that are not only delicious but visually stunning. It's a place where the joy of great food and the charm of a local business combine to create an unforgettable experience.
What It Means for the Community
Supporting local businesses like Backhaus strengthens our San Mateo community. They’re more than just a bakery; they’re a gathering place, a hub for people to connect, and a symbol of the unique charm that small businesses bring to our neighborhoods. By shopping local, you’re not only enjoying delicious treats but also helping sustain the very businesses that make San Mateo such a wonderful place to live.
When you support a local business like Backhaus, you’re investing in your community’s future and its vibrancy.
Josh’s Insight
I love the fresh pastries there on a Friday morning after the gym as a little treat for the end of the week. Their chocolate croissants and their sourdough loaves are so delicious! Solid espresso options as well!
