The Model Bakery
1357 Main St, St. Helena, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in St. Helena's charming downtown, this beloved bakery and cafe draws a steady stream of locals and visitors with its genuinely excellent pastries—particularly their legendary English muffins—and thoughtfully crafted breakfast sandwiches that justify the wait. The team moves with practiced efficiency even during busy afternoons, and there's a palpable sense that they genuinely care about their craft, making it equally perfect for a quick coffee grab or a lingering sit-down with friends and family.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The cafe is very nice. We ordered raspberry croissant, latte and strawberry lemonade. The latte was good. The raspberry croissant was ok. The strawberry lemonade was bad. It tasted like it’s made of instant powder mixture, so bad.
This place was highly recommended by both locals and tourists..I was looking forward to it, but maybe it was the 3 I chose or the time I went (10am) however I was severely underwhelmed as they were dry, kind of bland, and crunchy-but not in a good way..and the price was a bit…
Yum!!!!! This was a short walk from our hotel and was a perfect stop for a quick small breakfast. We ended up splitting a breakfast sandwich and it was amazing on their English muffin. Highly recommend this place and would be here three times a week if we lived here.
Went to MODEL bakery yesterday for the first time,having driven by many times…it was busy but the line flowed and service was efficient. The vegi scramble sandwich was very tasty as was apricot muffin and Java. I was able to find one spot for standing at front window corner,next…
Cute cafe and bakery in DT Sonoma. This place was buzzing in the late afternoon. We popped in for some coffee and a bite to eat. Service was pretty quick at the counter and I had to go for the slice of veggie pizza and a coffee. A bit pricier which we expected being in this area…
You can tell they care about the food and provide great options. The English muffins live up to hype. Walking around shopping and viewing great art .
