On 2/18/2026 Julie W. had this to say:
It was a Serendipitous visit- as we were driving by Batesville the Sunday before Presidents' Day. Thought we'd just stop and see what it looked like. Forgetting all about their famous cherry Thing-A-Lings. What a surprise when we discovered they still had plenty- we splurged and picked up a dozen. Also noticed the other array of tantalizing pastries they had. The cherry Thing-A-Lings were fresh and tasty. I can see why they have a cult following. Looking forward to stopping back sometime to try some of their other favorites.

The cherry thing-a-longs are worth every single minute of the wait. The most delicious pastry with cherry I have ever had.
