My husband and I stopped here while wine tasting in the area. The reviews stated their brick oven made English muffins were popular. We shared a toasted English muffin with a homemade raspberry jelly. The English muffin was very soft, airy and had a buttery taste to it. I also tried an almond croissant with just the right amount of almond filling . It did not disappoint. It was very soft and fresh. The bakery was full when we arrived but we received our order fairly quickly. read more

Too bad there isn't a Model Bakery in Sacramento. When it's a special occasion, we make the long drive to Napa and pick up some of their English Muffins. If you haven't tried their English muffins, I highly recommend you do! It's very hard to explain how good they are. It's definitely not like the common grocery bought kind. These are freshly made and very light. On this particular trip, we made it here around 7:15a. There was no wait, and we were able to order our 6 pack of English muffins. Did we just order one 6 pack? Driving almost 2 hours here, of course not! We ordered a lot! Haha. Anyways, the bakery itself is small. There's no inside seating. If you want inside seating, the Model Bakery in Saint Helena has that. Other things I recommend trying is their breakfast sandwich. When around the downtown Napa area looking for a quick breakfast, stop by The Model Bakery! read more

Every time we come to model bakery, we stock up on so many English muffins. I packed my suitcase with four of the 6 packs. Yes that means I left half my bag open just to bring the deliciousness home. They also have amazing breakfast burritos, and croissants and desserts and coffee. It's got a nice clean ambience as well and the staff is nice. Not overly nice but friendly. read more

Everytime I'm in Napa before 10 I will most likely grab some breakfast, coffee drink and a cookie if there are any left at Model bakery. Beat the rush by getting to Model bakery early, the earlier you arrive in the morning, the more options you will have. On most mornings there is a line, but you're going to get there early to beat that line. The cashiers know their product so ask them if you need recommendations. Model does breakfast and lunch between 6:30-4. Most options at 6:30 am, less options at 4 pm. Service is quick and to the point, be ready to order to keep the line moving. One you've ordered keep your ears open for your coffee from the barista's, if not sometimes they will bring coffees outside and call the name associated. The ambiance inside of Model is small enough to order or pick up coffee, but outside there is plenty of out door seating where they prefer you to wai. They will bring food orders out to you while you wait. There is plenty of street parking on 1st or McKinstry street. Great food, worth the stop every time. read more

I had seen them building one of these Bakeries in East Bay in Wc. I had a foodie friend give me the heads up about how lucky we are to have one of these in our neighborhood in the near future. I had taken a few family out of town visitors to Oxbow and we ran into this location. My foodie friend had told me that their English Muffins are their trademark baked goodie. I had ordered a Curtado espresso and one of their E Muffins with jam and butter. I had a bite of one of their cookies and it was really good. The English Muffin was so good and the jam ( apricot) was really good as well. I will definitely go back if I'm in the area or I will highly anticipate the opening of the Wc location. Btw- the Pies and other baked goods looked really good too. read more

Tbh I've really only had the breakfast sandwiches at the St. Helena location. I won't get into the rock solid scone I had over there. The girl who helped us was friendly and welcomed our questions. We came towards the end of the day so I was not expecting to find much variety but I was so happy to see they still had tarts! -Dark chocolate peanut caramel Tart -Apple cranberry Tart -chocolate chip cookie Everything was delicious. The tarts look small but they were the perfect size. Inside was quite small but there was seating outside. I look forward to trying their other sweet items. read more

A must try if you're ever in Napa CA. This english muffin is crispy and buttery on the top and fluffy on the inside. The smells is so mouth watering and honestly it is delicious when hot I wish to have been here when the baker started baking early in the morning. The smell of fresh baked bread is so enticing and especially butter bread.. mmmmmmm!!! I recommend you to try. It is in Opera's Favorite Things list. read more

Bought the bear claws and 6-pack of English muffins. Both were great, but English muffins were spectacular! Short line but worth the wait. read more

This bakery is more than a bakery. It's specialty is their "English muffin". What a hugeeeee difference from the packaged stuff you buy when you shop at a store. Get a sandwich made with it and it's an experience! That cookie is their homemade concoction and it was unbelievable! read more

Buy the bacon batard. Cut it up in to croutons. Toss in olive oil, pan fry then toast in the oven. You'll thank me later. Thanks for the tip to the lady working there! read more

Let me start by saying, English muffins are one of my favorite breads and when we originally were planning our Napa daytrip, this wasn't even one of the scheduled stops. Thanks to ChatGPT for recommending this spot because it was the perfect start to the day! There are a few locations near Napa county, but we decided to visit the downtown Napa location because it required the smallest detour. It's located near Oxbow Public Market but not attached to the main building (it's off to the side) and has a tiny parking lot. When we arrived, the line wasn't too long but it did grow as we were waiting for our food. It was super hard just to pick one thing because we didn't start to overstuff ourselves, but we ordered the Veggie Breakfast sandwich which comes with a fried egg, hash browns, avocado, tomatoes on their famous English muffin. The wait was a bit long, I think around 20 mins to get our food but when it came out, it was one of the most beautiful breakfast sandwiches ever. I wish I was able to get my own because it was that delicious and I'm still dreaming of my next visit. If you are in the area and need something to eat, this is definitely the place to go. There are so many items I wanted to try, even just a simple toasted English muffin. Will 10000% be back again if I'm ever in the area! read more

Not a bad bakery with mid-range prices, fresh pastries, and a variety of drinks. They will bring you your food, which is nice. On the downside: * you can only sit outside (no places indoor); * small selection of sandwiches without bacon. read more

We visited here in May 18, 2026. Best English muffins with raspberry jam I've ever had. We ordered more to go after eating. We also got a breakfast sandwich that was cooked to perfection. Amazing place! read more

Average food, descent service, and an old school ambiance is the perfect way to describe Model Bakery at the OxBow in Napa. I ordered the Croissantwich, which says it comes with Applewood smoked bacon, eggs and cheddar cheese. For $12, it was an average breakfast sandwich. It didn't taste like applewood bacon, and the sandwich itself was very dry. I believe Model Bakery is living off of the hype that Oprah Winfrey provided. A lot of overpriced pastries, but you're definitely not missing out on anything. read more

Amazing food and wonderful customer experience. The English muffins are delicious. Best we've ever had!

I stayed in Napa for 5 days and had their English muffin 3 times if that gives you an indication of how much I liked it. The first time I came, I ordered the English muffin to go, and it came with butter and raspberry jam. The second time I had it was for breakfast at the Westin Verasa, and the third time I had it was at Oakville Grocery when it was used for my breakfast (Yountville) sandwich. I can see why it's so popular, although it does get a bit messy to eat since there's a lot of particles (I think semolina or cornmeal) that are on the crust. read more

This bakery is right next to the Oxbow Public Market. Went in to grab a pastry and ended up getting a cheese danish. Couldn't leave without getting a cold brew so ended up ordering one. You have to wait outside while they make your drink and they'll call your name once ready. The cold brew went well with the cheese danish which was also delicious. They had other breakfast items and plenty of other pastries along with bread. Definitely recommend checking out! read more

The service here is shockingly bad - the people that take your order are extremely rude and act as if you are bothering them and visibly irritated to simply take your order or be asked a question. The caprese sandwich tasted good, I didn't really order anything else outside of that I had planned on because it seems like that was asking too much in itself. Seeing all the one star reviews about service, this definitely is not an original or one off experience. Definitely won't be back to bother you guys! read more

Came here around 10:30 on a saturday and the line was pretty long. ordered the ginger molasses cookies, a six pack of the english muffins, a lavender latte, and a toasted english muffin. it was all not too bad but this place was over hyped for me and it did not meet my high expectations unfortunately. the english muffins are pretty good but i was expecting homemade jam but it just comes with the smuckers jam lol so that was pretty upsetting. the lavender latte had no lavender taste to it and sadly not even an after taste. the ginger molasses cookies were mid too since they're still doughy and have little ginger flavor to taste. they're pretty fast on getting you your order and they have lots of seating. maybe i got the wrong things but i was not fully satisfied with one of the top recommended bakery's to visit when in napa :( read more

Model Bakery was highly recommended by many people, and I'm glad I had the chance to visit. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 12, and while it wasn't too crowded, the bakery is small, so you might have to wait outside for your number to be called. The service was quick, though, which was a plus. My boyfriend ordered "The Original," and I tried "The Sausage"--both were packed with flavor. The highlight was definitely the English Muffin, which was soft and moist, far from being dry. We also ordered an iced mocha and a black coffee. While the drinks were nothing extraordinary, they were satisfying and did the job. read more

These English Muffins fried in Ghee are something. You can put anything on that muffin and it will be great. However, an egg, sausage, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle mayo is a good place to start. The service can be slow, but that's because they are busy. Just hang outdoors and wait for them to call your name. read more

All the stars for the best English muffin I've ever had!* We needed some post-race breakfast before heading home from our 24-hour trip to Napa for the Women's Half Marathon & 5K. For the record, this would also be a great pre-wine tasting location. Our friend found Model Bakery on Yelp, and had us at "apparently they have famous English muffins." It was also walkable from our hotel, and we could order ahead for a pick-up. We each ordered a sandwich on an English muffin (obviously) and our friend and I also got caffeinated beverages- a chai for her and latte with oat milk and hazelnut syrup for me. The English muffins are, in fact, incredible. I understand the hype. It is well deserved. I kept it simple with the "original" breakfast sandwich which is eggs, ham, and cheddar cheese. I did also add avocado. Because avocado. It was a little messy (again, because avocado) although also very, very delicious. The English muffin is a perfect light texture, while still sturdy enough to hold the sandwich fillings. My latte was just fine, nothing particularly memorable about it, although the English muffins mean that everything else can be okay, and this place is still great. Our friend got a half dozen English muffins to take home and, in hindsight, I wish I had as well. *Followed closely by our friend's homemade sourdough English muffins that she personally delivered to our front door during shelter in place. read more
