About
Made in Mountain View is a local guide to one town between the bay and the foothills: its restaurants, makers, shops, parks, places to stay, history and stories.
What Made In is
Made In is a family of city guides from Good Neighbor, the Bay Area city guide created by Joelle. Each Made In site celebrates one town: the people who grow, bake, brew, make and build things there, and the places worth a stop. See the Good Neighbor guide.
Made in Mountain View is built with Bossreach, which gathers the directory and runs the site’s content system, and draws its puzzles from the playbook of Bossfeed.
How the listings are made
The directory starts from public sources: OpenStreetMap, local listings and each business’s own website. Descriptions are short and factual and come from what a business says about itself; review lines are quoted word for word with a link to where they were posted.
Is your business here, missing, or out of date? Use Claim or update this listing on its page, or write to us. Listing is free.
