The breakfast sandwich made on a fresh English muffin is exceptional! My husband ordered the breakfast wrap. They were all out of tortillas. So, they offered to make the filling of the wrap on the fresh baked bread of my husband's choice. He didn't fuss about it, just went with the sourdough, and it was delicious! As we were enjoying...

Model Bakery is known for its artisan breads, pastries and desserts. They also have great salads and some sandwiches for lunch. Our favorites are the morning glory muffins (go early, because they sell out of these by 10 am), sticky buns and scones. Their cookies are also good. They have decadent desserts too! More

Sunday morning lines were a bit of a nightmare, but everyone was patient and the staff did their best to move everyone through.

I went to the St Helena location, but basically the same. I had lunch here, the sandwiches were average to boring. The baked goods however all looked amazing, the cookies were delicious. I soooo wanted to try the english muffins but they would have been stale by the time i would have got home :( They looked delicious. More

Stopped here for breakfast and fell in love with the food. Not much by way of seating arrangements (outside) but excellent way to start the day. More
