These english muffins are INSANE! We discovered them last year while in Yountville for a little R&R. Our hotel actually served these things as part of their champagne brunch! We asked where they were from and immediately made the trip down to the city of Napa to buy some. Our morning ritual is now, open up Model Bakery at 7am... More

This place is awesome! Outdoor seating in the cool mornings of Napa was an ideal setting for enjoying breakfast at The Model Bakery. We tried the egg sandwich on the english muffin and also on the croissant. We also tried the cinnamon roll and had coffee. Everything was excellent - we even went back for breakfast a couple of days... More

I seriously don't know what they do to make english muffins that good. I had read reviews from other people, so we ventured in. Soooo glad that we did. We went early 8:30am on Sunday. We had breakfast sandwiches. The Chipotle is not on an english muffin, but was by far the best sandwich. I would travel back to Napa,... More

I love their pastries it's so fresh and delicious you can't resist. You must go at around 3 pm while they make their afternoon fresh batch. :)

I was feeling really bad & had stomach problems (not from a hangover), so I just wanted something simple to settle my stomach. Just had a toasted bagel with butter, but it was great. Crunchy, not doughy and mushy like most. Coming from NYC, getting a good bagel out of state is not easy. This place was up to the... More

This place has the best english muffins. We stayed at the Westin Verasa (just down the street) and walked to the bakery each morning for croissants nd english muffins. Very tasty!

The bakery serves yummy coffee and chai tea lattes plus a wonderful selection of baked goods. My daughter had an Almond Croissant while my husband and I shared a toasted baguette with bacon, tomato, mozzerella cheese and sliced boiled eggs. Both were Yummy.

Ate their delicious breakfast sandwiches and bought some English muffins to enjoy for breakfast at our VRBO the rest of the week. When they handed us the bag, we were a little confused because the muffins were HUGE! The size of hamburger buns but puffier. We froze half, and ate the other half within a couple of days. The English... More

Was surprised by all the "die for" reviews. It was fine...but nothing extraordinary. Bread bought there was good.
