The Model Bakery

Every time I'm in Napa, I make it a point to swing by The Model Bakery, and it's mainly for their phenomenal muffins. They've got this way of baking them to perfection – the insides are soft and moist, while the outside has a slight crispness. The variety they offer is great, but honestly, every sandwich I've tried has been top-notch. And it's not just the plain englishmuffins. Their breakfast sandwiches are the kind of hearty, flavorful start to the day you dream about. Made with fresh, quality ingredients, they're just as much a must-have as the muffins. The bakery itself has a really welcoming vibe. Walking in to be greeted by the aroma of fresh baking is an experience in itself. Plus, the staff is always friendly and quick to serve, which makes the whole experience even better. So, in a nutshell, The Model Bakery is one of those places in Napa I just can't skip. Whether it's for a batch of their amazing muffins or a satisfying breakfast sandwich, it's always worth the visit.

Lovely bakery. We ordered sandwiches as displayed on the menu. The chicken salad on a croissant and the special vegan veggie sandwich on a weat bread . After about 5 minutes they told us that they are our of the croissant and the weat bread. So we substituted. But the bread was still great. The place is at main street and at times very busy.

A delightful local bakery at the heart of St. Helena. I had some yummy cookies in the afternoon. I want to return to have their fresh homemade pizza, and to have the famous English muffin. Of which I was told is shipped regularly to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey. Coffee is delicious even later in the day. Like I said I want to return to experience and take in more.

I've been lucky enough to come here a few times and each time I've been very happy with that decision. The coffee itself is very good, and the Lavender Latte is one of the very few that hit all of the notes I would want. Not too sweet, but still a bit of flavor. The baked goods are the reason to come here though. Everything from the Egg-Cheese on an English muffin, the humble croissant, the iced Lemon Poppy Loaf, I could go on. If you're in wine country and want a great start to your day, start it here!

We love Model Bakery. Whenever we go to Napa one of our first visits is to Model Bakery to get English Muffins. There is nothing else like them anywhere. If we are there in the morning then the breakfast sandwich is awesome. On our last visit I got an Apple Pie and my goodness it was awesome! Model bakery is a must place to visit when you visit Saint Helena or Napa.
