Model Bakery

Where To Eat & Drink On Your Napa Road Trip - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The English muffin from Model Bakery - in all its golden, buttery glory - is essentially Napa’s equivalent of the Idyllwild dog mayor - a local celebrity. Head to this spot in the Oxbow Public Market to get them with butter or jam, or, if you’re hungrier, in sandwich form (we love the one with sausage, jalapeño jack, and roasted red pepper aioli). The original Model Bakery up in St. Helena is also open." - julia chen 1

"Included among John Donohue's Napa restaurant sketches, I saw Model Bakery listed as one of the wine-country standards in his collection of Napa Valley restaurant drawings, the sale of which donates 10 percent of print-sale profits to support arts education at the Napa Valley Museum Yountville." - Lauren Saria

"Okay, we know it's random, but Model makes the best English muffins (yes, they're that good). Oversized and layered with cornmeal, they're insanely light and often-copied. Model has been an institution in the area for almost 100 years, which means you can also trust them for great bread if you're putting together a picnic with other items from Oxbow. They also have a location in St. Helena."

Napa Valley Vendors Owed Thousands by Failing Dean & DeLuca | Eater SF

"I was told that the Model Bakery, represented by Sarah Mitchell Hansen, is owed about $30,000 after the sudden closure of the St. Helena Dean & DeLuca and that the unpaid invoices exemplify broader vendor and employee losses from those abrupt shutdowns." - Ellen Fort
