Thanks to everyone who sent word that Napa Valley-based Model Bakery is opening their largest location yet in downtown Walnut Creek where La Fogata Mexican Bar & grill used to be. According to this SF Chronicle article, they “will sell more than a dozen varieties of organic artisan bread, pastries and cookies, like the absurdly rich chocolate rads, alongside espresso drinks utilizing a custom roast from Seattle’s Cafe Vita.” Check out their pastries here, cookie and desserts here, and breakfast and lunch photos here. Look for a late 2022 opening. Has anyone tried their English muffins? Are they out-of-this-world delicious?
From their website:
Today’s Model Bakery specializes in artisan breads made with organic stone ground flours and the highest quality ingredients as well as a complete range of pastry products.
