    Tony and I stopped here this morning for breakfast on our way to Fenwick Island Delaware I opted to try the Black Forest with a raspberry sauce and chocolate chips and coconut shavings Tony went with the Myrna which included cinnamon cream topping dipped in chocolate and pine nuts They were both very good Love the name Definitely recommend to others

    I'll admit that I'm totally a pastry/croissant girl versus doughnut but Fractured Prune may convert me. On a busy Sunday morning we stopped in to grab a dozen for the family. The shop itself is small and unassuming. They make each doughnut to order so our wait was about 20 minutes from order to walking out with the coveted treats. The strawberry shortcake doughnut caught my attention right away. We ordered that one, the lemonade, OC sand, pebble beach, & banana nut. Hands down the OC sand was the winner, so simple yet so incredibly satisfying, especially when warm. A dozen will put you back about $22. For less than $2 per doughnut is a steal. While the shops may appear slightly gimmicky, the doughnuts are heavenly, especially with a cup of coffee. Highly recommended!!

    These donuts are next level! Was fascinated watching them making them. And they are warm!!! 10 outta 10

    One of my personal favorites... a raspberry glaze with cinnamon sugar and chocolate chips

    the perfect store where only the best of the best can work. never once have I had a problem with the staff or other customers. The food should be recognized worldwide for the size, taste, and shape. The workers were extremely fast when it came to making my donuts and a bagel. Even in tough times like what the fryer jammed they all had a smile and fixed it right away. Stop by on your next vacation It's a very memorable experience.

    Fractured Prune makes awesome donuts, freshly made to order from donut to toppings so your donuts are hot & melty! THIS location however, I would choose elsewhere. Only because it's across street so the convenience factor is what brought us here. Here's what made our experience negative: one of donut makers wiped his gloves on a dirty rag on the counter where donuts are made, and continued to make donut orders. When I saw he was about to make our order I politely asked him to please put on new gloves because he touched the dirty rag. I photographed it, so you can see it's not an exaggeration. Allergies? He asked. I replied yes as I didn't want a confrontation. Regardless allergies or not, you should not be wiping disposable rubber gloves on a dirty rag. Just put on a new pair! We have been to other locations in past years and had great experiences. So we will be back..just not here. Also they don't accept the coupons from any of the books. That said, donuts are delicious! Love that they have menu or create your own. Just wish I could unsee the guy wiping his gloves on the dirty rag in middle of food prep. Ruined it for me. I'd give one star except the donuts taste amazing.

    We tried these donuts while on vacation. The donuts are cake donuts and are made to order. The donuts are warmed up which provides a unique experience. We got a dozen with a mixture; strawberry shortcake, mocha, French toast, blueberry, mint chocolate chip, and chocolate chip. My favorite were French toast and strawberry shortcake. Great experience and recommend trying them out!

    Wonderful, warm made to order donuts. You can chose your glaze and toppings. Friendly staff.

    Filthy store at 11615 Coastal Hwy, Ocean City, MD 21842. Shame on this store, we came in for a small.coffee. Coffee station out of coffee, coffee stations and store filthy, rude staff, verbally bashed my wife for objecting to the lack of cleanliness. Have pictures of this disgusting mess, will share. Hope management addresses this.

    Anytime I'm in OC or Rehoboth I make a stop to Fractured Prune. This location was across the street from the hotel and I wish I was able to go more often. The fall hours were limited so you need to call the location to make sure they are open. This one closed at noon during the weekdays. We ordered banana glaze with graham crackers, blueberry hill, and caramel glaze with bacon. Everything was AMAZING. If you are ever near the beach, you need to get a donut. There is a store atleast every 5 blocks and they have two locations on the Boardwalk.

    The prunewich is supposed to come on a cake donut--something I was excited to try--but mine somehow wound up on a regular old bagel.

    Fresh and warm doughnuts. First time getting them, and will definitely come back. 10/10 Easier to order online and pick up to skip the line.

    Favorite doughnut place in MD. I think they have gotten smaller than I remember since a kid, but still amazing and taste never disappoints!

    Worth going once to try. Leave yourself 30 minutes before you get them. Very, very slow. Off bucket list. Never again.

    I've been going to Ocean City, MD for as long as I can remember. And for just as long, I've been…read morehearing people rave about Fractured Prune donuts. How many times, in my entire life, had I actually tried one? Zero. But I was determined to change that during my solo birthday adventure to Ocean City this year. My first Fractured Prune donut in 41 years...I was more excited than I probably should have been. For those unfamiliar, Fractured Prune has been an Ocean City staple since 1976 and is known for letting you build your own donut masterpiece--starting with a hot, fresh donut and customizing it with glazes and toppings however you like. No pre-made rows of donuts here--just pure, creative, donut freedom. Since I was visiting in March (aka off-season), I wasn't even sure I'd get my chance. But I was thrilled to find this location open until 12pm on Saturdays. PERFECT. I got up early, watched the sunrise, and made my way over to finally experience the hype. I had studied the menu ahead of time because I knew if I didn't, I'd stand at the counter forever trying to decide. I landed on one donut--a Banana Nut Bread creation (banana glaze, cinnamon sugar, peanuts). I was attempting to show some level of restraint during a weekend that was otherwise...not about restraint. I walked in around 9:30am on a beautiful March Saturday and found a small crowd already inside. Clearly, even in the off-season, people know where to go. I placed my order, paid my $3.57, and asked if they had stickers as a little keepsake from my birthday trip. They were out, but the kind gentleman behind the counter offered me a magnet instead--which I happily accepted. A few minutes later, my number was called, and I was handed a purple box that felt...surprisingly heavy for one donut. I took it out to my car, opened the box, and immediately started to cry. I was on a solo birthday trip--my first one in a long time--and while I was doing my best to fill it with fun and new experiences, there was definitely a bittersweet edge to it. Inside the box weren't just my one donut--but two extra donuts and a handwritten "Happy Birthday!!" on the lid. It was such a small gesture, but it meant everything in that moment. It made me feel seen. It made me feel celebrated. And honestly, it made my entire day. The kindness of the people working there didn't have to exist--but it did, and it mattered. After I pulled myself together (and stopped crying over my donuts), I finally took a bite. I get it now. I fully get the hype. The donut was incredible--served warm, soft, moist, and perfectly cakey, with the banana glaze, cinnamon sugar, and peanuts all working together in the best possible way. It took serious self-control not to demolish all three donuts right there in the car. I'm not even sure I've ever had a truly fresh, hot donut before this--but if this is the standard, Fractured Prune has set the bar very high. For $3.57, this was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time--and eating it in the sunshine during my birthday adventure is a memory I won't forget anytime soon. Logistically, it's easy: free parking in a nearby strip mall, quick ordering, and fast service. Just note--there's no indoor seating. You grab your donuts and go...which honestly isn't a bad thing when "go" can mean taking them to the beach just a few minutes away. Fractured Prune is officially on my "must-do every time I'm in Ocean City" list. And next time? I'm not pretending I'm only getting one donut!

    $20 for six donuts that were hot and moist--but somehow still disgusting. Just not good.read more

Four stars because we were disappointed in the coffee selection. There is just three canisters, one caramel syrup pump and sugar sweeteners. Would have been nice to have some specialty coffees (latte, cappuccino, flavored coffees, etc.) to choose from!

    The family visited this place... We were shocked to find a line out the door and into the street…read moreupon arrival. Luckily it moved quickly. My husband whispered "This place was on the food network". I'm not surprised. The menu is bizarre. You can get a burger or chicken or egg on your donuts. Bleh. Even the donut donuts were over the top... like 5 toppings. But the family got a dozen (everyone else got like 1-2 donuts each and a lot of people were ordering their soft serve ice cream which we didn't try). Here are our reviews: 11 yr old: Score 3/10. They were OK. 13 yr old: Score 8/10. I liked them! Runner up to Fractured Prune. 54 yr old: Score 7/10. I liked them OK, a little better than Fractured Prune but I'm really a Dunkin man. 46 yr old: Score 1/10. Bleh. Like Bleh when I looked at the menu and BLEH when I looked at the donuts. I tried a couple pieces of a couple of them, and not one was enticing enough to actually desire to eat the whole thing. I'm a KK or DD fan too, and I only like 2 donuts made by FP, and they are the plainer ones. Note... they will do custom donuts, so if their suggestions are over the top, tell them what you want. They are cake donuts and there is a toppings bar (think: Subway) where you chose your glaze and toppings, and they make it in front of you. My issue was that sprinkles were in glazes, glazes in sugar, and it was all very messy. It kinda grossed me out. And there you have it. It's a novelty.
