After riding the NW River Trail, picked up my son at Donegal Insurance for lunch out to celebrate…read morehis last day of internship this summer. After a quick approval from him, we headed to Wrightsville for a visit to Wild Batch. Neat repurposed building just off 462 at the top of the hill...most likely an old bank. Wonderful assortment of baked goods- and by the looks of the glass display cases, this place gets hit pretty hard! 10 or so tables inside, a sofa, and a comfortable, not-hurried atmosphere. Several regulars walked in and chatted, which is a great sign. I ordered a breakfast crepe and coffee, son ordered a lunch sandwich bagel, and we split a cinnamon sugar danish- which was fantastic! The crepe- if you are a crepe connoisseur- was of the pancake-ish variety. Like a big flapjack, with egg, sausage, gouda, and avacado. Good! But as I eat more crepes, little did I know of the variety of crepes. Now you know. Son's bagel sandwich was solid, coffee was strong, and the danish- made up of twisted strands in a coil- was yes, fantastic! Looks like awesome stuff comes out of this little bakery. Presentation, plus taste. Wrightsville, I hope you support this little gem!

The ladies working at this establishment are very helpful and friendly. I truly recommend their chocolate cakes and their pastries, specifically their fresh-baked croissants and cheese danishes. If you live in the outside of Lancaster, it's totally worth the drive.

Quick stop after a ride on the Enola Low-grade trail. I wasn't sure Columbia had any bakeries, but…read morewhat a find! It's a little bit off the beaten path from the center of town, but it has a neat, cheerful feel to it. The owner was very amiable and helpful as we chatted about Columbia. As for the foodstuffs, a macaroon, a butterscotch-pecan scone, a chocolate chip cookie and a strawberry muffin all passed our taste tests with flying colors. Coffee was decent, and the cookie dough cupcakes still sit in the car, untested. Prices for the above was about $12. Lots more stared at us from behind the diaplay, yearning for our attention. Next time, my friends. Columbians, you should be so lucky to have an establishment like this in town for the past 8 years!

Apparently they have a very short growing season and they're quite expensive to purchase. They are delicious and oh, this pie did not disappoint! The fruit filling was plentiful and the berries were whole, not mushy or overcooked. Absolutely wonderful ! I generally dislike pie crust but this was a great crust, tasted good and even better, golden brown and completely cooked underneath! The cherry pie was much sweeter and had a strussel type top crust. It was delish also. I will be returning to Jillybeans for pie and to try other goodies. A tiny place that packs a big punch!

The bread part was delicious. It was salty/well seasoned and soft. I thought $7 was a little expensive but I guess that is normal in today's economy. They also have a weekly baking schedule for different breads. I'd check that out if I were local. We noticed a lot of people get to-go here since it's an order at the counter service but seating indoors and outdoors is available. I'd recommend if you're nearby and in the mood.
