    Sausage Breakfast Sandwich
    Aileen L.

    I stopped by Mini Model on our way up to St Helena just before their closing time on a Saturday, and snagged a quick snack. The space is just a little two window setup for ordering and pick-up; super cute and quick service. I got the sausage breakfast sandwich, and it came out piping-hot. This was my first time having a Model Bakery english muffin, and I was honestly shocked by how shatteringly crisp the exterior was and how fluffy soft the inside was. The aioli, cheese, sausage, and thick egg patty made for a hearty breakfast sandwich that was super tasty. Get yourself to any of the Model Bakery locations - the english muffins truly are life changing.

    We were in yountville for the day and started with mini model. Small shack located diagonally across the street from bouchon bakery. Line is shorter but there are fewer staff so you may end up waiting just as long if not longer for your order. We ordered one breakfast sandwich and it took about 20-25 min. We ordered via DoorDash to use our csr credit. However be forwarded everything is a few dollars more via dd pickup.

    Very short line compared to Bouchon Bakery. The heavy breakfast sandwich is a solid (affordable) base for a day of wine tasting. Can't go wrong with any pastries either, and definitely pick up a pack of English muffins for home!

    Must come back early to try their breakfast sandwiches and wraps. They sell out early. Tried the English muffin with butter and raspberry jam which was delicious!

    Banana walnut muffin - yum

    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.

    I can see why these are Oprah's favorite English muffins. The English muffins were fluffy and buttery and paired well with the sausage and egg. The coffee was standard but still good! The service was great and they were super friendly!

    Mini Model Bakery is a super cute little coffee shop and bakery to stop by at. In my personal opinion their pastries and drinks are not the best. If you really want a good bakery, go to Bouchon or Honor Market, both having great selections. The service is pretty quick but not the fastest. They also do not have much seating whereas Honor Market does. If you are looking for a quick place to pick up breakfast I would recommend choosing other options nearby.

    Wide variety of Pastries

    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

    Latte Art - super smooth latte
    Mary V.

    Mini Model...a cute little outpost of the larger Model Bakery in St Helena and in Napa. Home of Oprah's favorite English Muffins! Order at one window and pick up at the other. There are a few outdoor seats, or take your items to go. In addition to the English muffins, they offer a variety of delicious-looking baked goods and breakfast sandwiches. We ordered lattes. They now use Caffe Vita beans (out of Seattle). I was surprised that they don't partner with a local, CA roaster. But we enjoyed the smooth, and easy to drink bevvies. We purchased a 6-pack of the English muffins for home and tried one so far. Large, buttery, and delicious.

    English muffin with raspberry jam
    Sam S.

    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.

The shop is small inside, but there's seating in the back. We got a dozen assorted macarons for $40, and each flavor was so good. We were a little impatient and didn't wait for some of them to fully soften up before diving in, but they were still great. Macaron Flavors We Tried (all 5/5): - Watermelon Tajín - Curry Coconut (kids least favorite but I enjoyed it) - Elote - Blueberry Cheesecake - Lavender - Salted Caramel - Passionfruit - Cookie Butter I also tried their Tiramisu Cold Brew, which I really enjoyed.

Although the macarons were delicious, the customer service was far from it. We came maybe 30 minutes before closing, and she was probably irritated that more people came, because it really showed, in her face expression, the tone of her voice, and body language. Who would want that kind of service?? And should we want to return, and be treated like we were an inconvenience. We never felt so unwelcomed. This isn't just my opinion, my whole family felt the same way. It's just so sad because good products was ruined by such terrible customer service. Wouldn't recommend people to come here, specially at the end of the day. You'll just be disappointed by the girl who clearly doesn't want to help you.

My absolute favorite is the Dang Dazy milk chocolate--its velvety texture paired with crunchy almond and hazelnut bits creates the perfect balance. The Earl Grey dark chocolate was also incredibly good. While the richness of the dark chocolate leans slightly dominant, you can still catch those subtle, fragrant notes of Earl Grey in each bite. At around $3 per bonbon, it's definitely on the pricier side--but considering the quality, creativity, and variety of flavors, I think it's completely justified. It's especially heartbreaking to share that this is widely considered one of the best artisan chocolate shops in California, and they're now closing their only store in Yountville due to slow business and rising costs. Losing a place like this feels like losing a true gem. If you're anywhere near Yountville, make the trip and show them some love while you still can.

Looking at other…read morereviews, it seems like other people got to try specific bonbon flavors, which would've been even better, but I can't complain with free samples... There was no one in the store when we visited, and no one behind us waiting so we took our time choosing. The lady working behind the counter seemed slightly exasperated with us. Regardless, we ended up picking a 9 piece box, which was $27. The subsequent times we visited, it was a different employee, who was more friendly so your experience may vary. Regardless, pretty good chocolate overall, albeit pricey, but the store feels kind of cold and sterile.

What I got for $14 was two slices of very dry bread, a stack of thin turkey slices, two curled pieces of mild cheddar cheese (on a turkey sandwich?), a single limp leaf of lettuce and a packet of yellow mustard (Heinz) and mayo. No tomato, no seasoning, no balance of flavors. Just dry bread, turkey, and cheese that doesn't even belong on this type of sandwich. The wrap didn't list ingredients and the deli counter was closed, so there was no way to ask questions or customize anything. I ended up stuck with a premade option that felt like something from a hospital cafeteria rather than a market in the Napa Valley. The bread could have saved it, but even that was just a bland sweet roll with no texture or character. For $13+ they could at least use a decent bread from one of the many local bakeries. As a local, it's disappointing because visitors assume places in Yountville will reflect the food reputation of the area. Unfortunately this didn't come close. I've seen similar feedback in other reviews for the deli, and after this experience I understand why. The sad part is those reviews date back for years and they have obviously fallen on deaf ears. Vote with your dollars folks. If you're heading up valley and want a good sandwich, you're honestly better off stopping at Genova in Napa on the way or continuing just a few minutes up the road to Oakville Grocery. If you only need a quick bottle of wine this is a place for you. I rarely say this, but this was a "never again" for me.

I heard the management had changed so I went back. The service actually got worse. I used the online menu to choose breakfast and called in multiple orders. I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with an English muffin which came with the breakfast. When I got there to pick up, I encounter a younger lady, thin with longer blondish hair. I think she is also the bartender and the little pub next to the restaurant. Right away, she was unfriendly and stand offish. I was picking up several orders and each had prices that differed from what was online. When I told her, she didn't care. She said that's and old menu. When she got to my order, she looked and me and said, you had a ham and cheese omelet with an English muffin on the side? I told her that the menu said it came with it and I wasn't told it was extra. She said "well, I didn't answer the phone." She was very rude. I would have paid the extra price. The price wasn't the issue, even though the online menu didn't match what I was charged. I know she isn't in charge of menu price, but you don't have to be rude to a customer. I was so disgusted about the way she was glaring and me and speaking to me, I canceled my order. She looked at me and said, that's fine. Not once, did she try to remedy the situation. What really concerns me is that this restaurant is at the Veterans home. How does this person treat a veteran's family member that may have traveled many miles to come and see a loved one? How do they treat the Veterans? This restaurant is independently operated and isn't part of the Veterans Home. This restaurant is a horrible example of dignity and respect. Heroes clearly operates on a different set of values.
