I would eat here again if a gun was held to my head It's filthy, stinks like cigarettes Saturday morning server has the personality of paint drying It's so incredibly dirty it should be closed !!! My grandson insisted I bring him a donut and all they did was shake dollar store sugar on it .... Old grease, old batter .... Save your hopes time and money!!!! read more

The store is dirty and the donuts have this off taste. Definitely not like the store in Ocean City

The donuts were smaller than expected. We tried six different flavors and the best were French toast and salted caramel. The other flavors were just okay. I would suggest ordering online the day before for pick up to beat the morning rush. read more

Very disappointed with the service i received, the young lady working the counter was very ignorant when i asked a question about the bagels. She answered back with a nasty tone and dirty look on her face. To top it off there was a HAIR in our doughnuts. I wouldn't recommend unless you're okay with getting talked down to. read more

DO NOT GO HERE IN THE MORNING. There's always something with this place. It's unreliable. There is often a piece of receipt paper taped to the door with a random excuse why they aren't open. One time it was a "family emergency." Another time it's "fryer malfunction". Today is apparently a "holiday" on November 21st. What holiday is on 11/21?? If you're in a pinch for donuts for the office, or you plan on getting up early to swing by before work- DO NOT RISK coming here. I'm sick of waking up early to pick up donuts for my office building, only to see some dingy piece of receipt paper taped to the door with an excuse. All three times I've gone here in the morning, there has been a note on the door. Coincidence? read more

Excellent service and delicious donuts. My spouse wanted the trail mix without nuts and they easily made that happen. we would go back again for a special treat. read more

Fractured Prune has the best, freshest, and warmest donuts made to order in Maryland. We ordered the cookies and cream, Death by Chocolate and Carnival during this visit. But my favorite is the OC Sand because it's just a glaze donut covered with sugar but it's perfect. Although no matter what your preference of donuts are they are made to order so it's made fresh daily. During COVID, there is no indoor seating, and limited capacity, and customers are required to wear masks. read more

Frederick would not be the same without this place. You know you're in for a surprise when you see that purple box! The donuts are made fresh to order... you are even able to reheat em! They are filling I could only eat two max and about the price of Dublin which is insane to me. The variety of donuts is ridiculous even overwhelming especially when trying to pick your dozen! A good issue to have lol they also have monthly flavors that keep things interesting. My favorite part about the shop is that you feel like a local/family thanks to the amazing father and daughter duo behind the scenes! Truly love this place read more

Fractured Prune - a donut shop in a parking lot - Donuts Near Me - Frederick, Maryland

Photo: The current size is nearly half the size of the old ones. So a 6 pk is basically a 3 pk at for the size size of the old donuts. Not worth it when the price hasnt changed and the flavor is watered down syrups. Prices the same and the donuts are half the size. With less toppings too. Not going back ever. I had stopped going for years already because of staff, prices and other issues and now this is just going to make my decision easier to never return or recommend them to family or friends when they visit. I don't think of them or crave them anyways so it will be easy. They use to be great when we first started going 15 years ago BUT LIKE most businesses that get to big for their customers... they forget where they started and how they started and what made them great at the beginning. So they get greedy instead of making their customers satisfied like they were in the beginning. They start to become nothing special and not anything better than a generic brand. Note: I got a BNB and I could only taste the nuts, I got a Blk Forst and only could taste the coconut. The C Straw tasted like chocolate only. The blueberry hill just tasted like powdered donut. What happened to the great strong flavors. It's like they are dulled down and nothing like I once knew. I truly was disappointed with our LAST dozen. I'm not going to update this because I wont be going back again. read more

Made fresh to order, warm, topped with loads of ingredients...such deliciousness. No matter which Fractured Prune location I've ordered from I've always received quality donuts from super friendly staff Half a dozen for $8, it is so easy to treat yo'self and so hard to not go overboard. haha. I love the appeal of making my own donut, but those base flavor combos are so perfect (FP knows what they are doing). We ordered our standard Black Forest, Trailblazer, Smores, Pebble Beach, and Banana Nut Bread..then this time I jazzed up the Pumpkin Spice-adding coconut and chocolate chips, then created a mixed berry glaze with sprinkles and graham crust. Drool drool drool. Can't go wrong any combo ordered. Worth the drive, love the price, love the product. read more

Love the fresh donuts here! I love that you can select the flavors and they make it fresh for you. The people who work here are also really nice. Definitely a great sweet treat. read more

Donuts were amazing but girl needs a hug. Service was underwhelming and strange. Never been in here before, just saying a smile would help

Was sad I couldn't really go where I wanted for my birthday because of things shutting down during COVID-19. So I drove an hour just for a dozen donuts. You can't beat a fresh, hot delicious donut. Definitely made my day. Other than Duck Donuts ( also about an hour drive for me) this was worth the trip. What could have made it better? An Elvis Delight Special, with banana glaze, peanut butter drizzle, and bacon crumbles. Oh sweet mana from heaven. In meantime, all 12 different donuts I tried was amaze balls. I would have taken a picture, but as you can imagine, after driving an hour, I was just really hungry to eat. No fun just showing an empty box. read more

Friendly, helpful counter staff and tasty doughnuts make this store a fun place to visit. As other Yelpers have noted, the store is a little shabby and could benefit from a professional paint job and some minor repairs. But the Tuesday I visited, there were three free tables. I was given time and space to linger and catch up on emails before I left. read more

Always get these donuts in ocean city on the boardwalk and was excited when I found a location in Fredrick, MD. The location and storefront is nothing to write home about but the donuts are still the best ever! We chose to get the half dozen for about $8. Taste just like the ones on the boardwalk. If in the area, go get yourself some donuts! read more

Kind and quick service with good donuts. They're not outstanding but they do have lots of flavors that are tasty! I wish they had some filled donuts. There's room to sit inside and eat your donut with coffee but the back half of the shop looks unfinished. Overall not an amazing experience but not bad at all. read more

HOT donuts, up there with krispy kremes. The different choices of glaze are much better than dunkin. Their donuts are best with coffee, true donuts. The other mainstream spots are closer to condensed milk and brioche read more

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!! THESE ARE THE GREATEST DONUTS ANYONE WILL EVER TRY!!!!! If you go here you need to get the OC sand donut. This is there classic donut with glaze and cinnamon sugar on it. When it's hot, it melts in your mouth and the glaze and cinnamon sugar have a great flavor. The service was also great, a dozen donuts ready in 5 mins and the staff was very helpful when I had questions. I'm 100% coming back. These are life changing and if you're picking between here and somewhere else like Krispy kreme or Dunkin, choose fractured prune. read more

Donuts are not good - very greasy and not sweet enough. Coffee burnt. The worst thing was just how dirty it is on the inside and in a state of total disrepair. Will not return. read more

I popped in for the first time this past Father's Day. It wasn't terribly busy so was able to pop in and get my donuts quickly. They have a ton of flavors and overall they were all very tasty. The employees were wearing masks and gloves (when ringing orders up). And I appreciated the owner telling me that I should just order six donuts instead of five since they'd be the same price. They came out quickly and we enjoyed them at a nearby park. The interior of the space is open and under normal circumstances probably plenty of places to sit down and eat. I'd happily pop back in next time I'm in Frederick. read more

I'm very torn. I used to love the Prune, and I believe the concept of fresh made to order donuts is a great one. But, the store, service, and quality has really gone downhill. A few specifics: (1) The store needs fresh paint (and a good cleaning) and some fix up. One particularly nasty example: I used the bathroom, and when I reached for the light switch, stuck my finger into the hole of the empty outlet cover next to the switch on the duplex plate. Really dangerous issue - and one that another reviewer pointed out a few MONTHS ago. (2) There are only a few tables in the store. Two were pushed together next to the counter, and were occupied the entire time I was there by store staff. Paying customers tried to sit, but nobody - including the on duty manager - gave up a seat. (3) The donuts themselves tasted good, but they were almost raw inside. I suspect the temp on the oil was too low. I ate them because I didn't think they could fix the fryer, and did I say they still tasted pretty doggone good... I really hope management (or maybe the franchise quality folks) brings the store back to the level it used to be. read more

Great donuts. But their not always open when they say they're open. Came 30 minutes before their door sign said they'd close, and the door was locked. Store looked closed. read more

Probably the best donuts I've ever had. However, I think they have an advantage as their donuts are made to order and served piping hot. I tried the french toast donut and the dulce de leche donut; both tasted pretty similar, but both were excellent nonetheless. These donuts absolutely melt in your mouth. My friend said they were a bit too sweet, but I shall hear none of that! They also do donuts to go, but given that they're made to order, I figure I probably wouldn't want to get them to go because that kind of defeats the purpose of buying them over store brand donuts. The atmosphere of the place leaves much to be desired, which sucks as I just explained that it would be advisable to eat the donuts in-store. I don't know if this place could pull in a regular crowd given its location anyway, but I personally would probably hang out here if it felt more welcoming. Honestly, this place looks like it's under construction when you walk in, when it's not. But I'm going to give this place the benefit of the doubt and just judge it on the donuts, so I'm going to give this place a 5. Seriously awesome donuts for a really cheap price, served hot. Doesn't really get much better than that! read more

The best donut I have ever had. I ordered few more for my family after enjoying a cheap chocolate covered donut at the premises.

I really wanted to love their donuts, but they were okay. I really wanted to love the donut shop, but it was okay. I really wanted warm, friendly service, but the customer service was just okay. You see a theme here? After having read so much about Prune Doughnuts, and their deliciously fresh, made-to-order deep-fried delights, I was thrilled to finally be entering their store. Alas, when I arrived, it looked like the store had seen some better days. It was clean and definitely not sticky, but the place could use a fresh coat of paint and a few more fun touches. I ordered the Dirty Banana and the Lemonade doughnuts. The gentleman who took my order and boxed the doughnuts was pleasant enough, but nothing stood out. Both doughnuts were freshly made and very tasty, but nothing to really write home about. While there were a handful of other people purchasing their coffee and doughnuts, it seemed that most of their customers took their orders to-go and didn't linger in the shop. My husband and I sat for two minutes but decided to follow suit and left, especially since I prefer my doughnuts an hour or two after they've been frosted. (I find most cake doughnuts a bit smush-y just after they're fried.) I would go back again in the future, but a whimsical, fun atmosphere would definitely make that a little more likely, especially since I think I prefer them a bit more than their competitor - Duck Donuts. read more

Great spot to stop by for a quick donut. Not to mention, that they are always fresh. I was in a rush and the gentleman that served me was very patient and sweet. I ordered a coffee crumb donut and advised him that I was in a rush so I wanted the quickest donut if it was possible. He advised me to not worry and it literally came out in 40 seconds. Amazing! I give them four stars because they tend to be slightly greasy and not thick enough. I usually go to Duck Donuts but I was out of town when I stopped by the The Prune. Overall, I enjoyed it. Great pit stop. read more

Ordered for a special Thanksgiving breakfast and they went above and beyond to provide joy on this difficult version of the holiday. Thank you! read more

Donuts - good and that's it! Place was dirty, didn't get a hello, thank you or any kind of customer service. When we asked questions it was met with short sharp answers and as if we were putting the young lady out for being there. She was very rude. We were the only customers and no one in line waiting. I'm not surprised. Really considered walking out but we had driven an hour and a half to get there. My husband grew up going to fractures prune at the beach and he was excited to discover this one a little closer to home. Well, we'll just wait until a trip to ocean city this summer and will never go to this shop again. read more

Their donuts are not great. The reason I say so is that they are small, greasy, and overall not worth the high price they ask for them. Additionally the store is dirty I wouldn't trust the food there anyway next time read more

If you want some of the best doughnuts youve ever tasted come right on down. Theyve got flavors I never even imagined. My mouth literally salivates just looking at the picture I posted. This place is a real good old fashioned way of making doughnuts with fresh dough and super warm and soft the way a doughnut should be. It honestly has changed my experience of doughnut eating and I refuse to go back to dunkin doughnuts. As bad as that sounds my pallet has changed solely because of trying this place and I look forward to coming back one day. Just as a tip there are places to take pictures so dont forget that my fellow enthusiasts. And they have a rather interesting story about how they got started but I'll let y'all read that once you get to the store. Overall, it definitely gives places like Krispy Kreme, and Duck doughnuts a run for their money although each are unique in their own way. If your in town or even if youre not in town grab Leonardo Davincis flying machine if you have to and come try some of the best doughnuts youll ever taste. Trust me you wont regret it! read more

A mom and pop shop with delicious donuts. They have lots of flavors, so we picked out a dozen to try. All their donuts are cake donuts, and each flavor is glazed with different toppings.
