Model Bakery, St. Helena

model bakery, st helenaThe Model Bakery, a fixture of St. Helena’s Main Street, continues to serve up pastries, cookies, and breads made fresh daily with organic flours and natural sourdough starters. Sandwiches, hearty soups, and wood-fired pizzas are also available. The unpretentious interior is called “vintage” by Zagat’s — appropriate for a bakery that’s been operating at the same location for 70 years. There are flowers on every table. You can also get a picnic lunch to go and take it across the street and up a block or so to a pleasant town park with a gazebo; that’s somethin my family has done a lot over the years.
