Love how this is tucked away corner of a "hotel"... and kind of low-key ( comparison to across the street ). Staff are polite and efficient- took less than 10min for our order to be ready. Always enjoy the baked goods especially the famous "muffin" which has the best texture and taste and freshness. There are seats/tables and open-space grass to sit on to enjoy coffee/baked goods.

Oh there is no words to explain this gem! A must are the english muffins and granola. We drive from Carmel just for these delicious delights . Oh and the coffee and chai excellent!

The hype for these English muffins is real. Stopped by for a breakfast sandwich and plain toasted muffins (we put in a mobile order ahead of time because the line is always crazy here), and MAN was it all delicious! There's a bit of outdoor seating, but we found a table within walking distance nearby to eat our sandos. Free parking in the lot behind.

We visited this bakery during a recent wedding trip in Napa, and decided to explore Yountville. It was a weekend so everything was slammed! However, we wanted something quick so we found this place and it's a mini version of the one in Napa I guess. There is some outdoor seating, but it's a little awkward ordering and waiting for your food, as it's cramped. Anyway, the english muffin sandwiches were super buttery and delicious, coffee was decent as well as fresh squeezed orange juice. Would definitely return.

We grabbed coffees & a banana walnut muffin, all good. The coffee quality is good, not bitter. I really enjoyed my latte. The banana walnut muffin was also fresh and flavorful. Not sure about food options but great stop to get a coffee & quick snack. Service was fine, it's a grab & go. Wait time was fine. I liked the overall style & wooden deck.

BEST breakfast sandwich I've ever had!!!!! We waited in line but by the time we got to the front, they said they ran out of sandwiches. We asked if they had anything and he said he'll see if they can throw something together. Turns out they were out of eggs so he offered to double the meat and honestly, we didn't miss the egg one bit. The sausage and the aioli on that soft, fresh baked English muffin was delectable! Such a great vibe.

This cute location in Yountville with a few outdoor chairs is a great place to go if you are craving a doughnut-like English muffin but find they are sold out at the other locations. I showed up right as the store was closing and the servers were very nice and responsive. The English muffins are much better deal here (and at other model bakeries) than at retail stores, if, like me, you are getting them to go. The fall color that lines the streets near the shop make the ambiance extra special at this time of year.

Model Bakery has been a fixture in Sonoma County for decades. The reason is that their products are awesome. This is a distribution satellite and no baking is done here. No matter, it was fresh. This location is a old raid car and is a order at the window place. In my scoring system, this loses a star as there is not table service to judge. The service was very quick. This is in stark contrast to its famed neighbor across the way. There is a small amount of spartan seating which is fine by me. The Food. It's a mistake not to get something including. the famed english muffin featured on Oprah and shipped around the world. It's quite good. Not sure i would travel from Paris to sample, but a solid choice. Frankly, if you need breakfast, this is the place in yountville not Bouchon across the street where it takes 45 minutes to get a coffee and bakery item. Bouchons stuff is stale, Model is fresh
