Oprah-Approved Model Bakery Is Opening a New East Bay Location in Walnut Creek | Eater SF

"A favorite Napa spot is finally putting down roots in the East Bay: I learned owner Sarah Mitchell Hansen will open the much-awaited Walnut Creek branch in the second week of October after a project nearly three years in the making. VonSaal Design Build is working on a new 5,000-square-foot space at 1315 North Main Street, and the larger, more convenient location will allow the bakery to expand its wholesale offerings for local grocery stores such as Berkeley Bowl. Model reached cult status when Oprah featured its English muffins on her annual “Favorite Things” list at least four times, and the menu will include English muffins (of course), breakfast sandwiches, eggs Benedict, a possible English muffin burger, and a lunch lineup with salads, soup, and fried chicken sandwiches; the Walnut Creek spot also has a wine and beer license and will serve house wines by Jesse Fox of Sequoia Grove Winery and mimosas." - Dianne de Guzman
