This location became our new favorite last year. They make things super easy and safe, you place your order then go to your car and they bring it out to you. The donuts are cooked to order which makes it extremely difficult to exercise any level of self control but calories don't count at the beach right?! My favorite will always be O.C. Sand but with so many flavor/toppings combinations you can't lose. Counting the days till we're back at the beach in May. read more

The service was OUTSTANDING! Super friendly staff and happy to guide you through their selection to ensure you got what you wanted! The donuts were fantastic! Warm and perfect! Definitely go there!! read more

This is hands down the greatest donut shop around. Pros: Fractured Prune's hot, gooey donuts made to order just can't be beat! There is a menu full of unique combinations if you can't decide. (A few suggestions would be the OC Sand, French Toast, Blueberry Hill, and Carnival!) They offer by the donut, half a dozen, and a dozen. Good luck leaving without a whole box! I have friends from all over the East coast who insist on coming to Fractured Prune every summer. Best donut they've ever had. Cons: 1 dozen donuts = $15 The hours can change without notice and the lines can be long in the summer. Worth it? Yes. read more

Absolutely adore this place. This is the first stop my family and I make on our yearly trips to DE. My kids look forward to going back the second we pull out of the parking lot to come home, and talk about it until we make our way back down again. My family love all of the different flavors, but I don't have a problem just sticking to the plain. While the options they give are creative, even just the plain ol' doughnut by itself ranks as one of the best i've had. The fact that they are hot and fresh per order makes a world of difference. For those of you who enjoy a cream filled or jelly doughnut, please realize what you are coming here for. It is one type of homemade doughnut, with different flavored glazes and toppings. However, I promise you... you should not pass this place up! read more

My friend found this place from a Til Tok video she saw. The staff was super friendly and helped us with our selection. The donuts where fresh and tasted pretty good. All of their donuts are cake donuts but not the usual dry boring cake donuts. They're moist and was still tasty hours later. read more

If you are down the Beach, you need to start your morning off with a hot dipped donut from the Fractured Prune. I have been to the locations at the Jersey Shore and when I found out there was one down the Beach i knew I was in for a treat. Many flavors for all your taste buds. I prefer most kinds with coconut and chocolate chips as you can see in my pictures. If you are in the area please give them a try you will be thanking me later. Plus you can walk off the calories later by taking a walk down the Boards. read more

The staff at F.P. are so friendly and patient with customers! We ordered a dozen at the counter and waited in the merch room until they were ready, in order to give other customers space to order. Texture-wise, the donuts are uniformly crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside without being super dense and crumby like most cake donuts. I think it's because they are made fresh to order. The pineapple cake donut was a real treat with a scoop of pie filling on top! read more

The doughnuts here are good but I found it hard to differentiate between the flavors. They all tasted relatively the same with small subtle differences. The texture was good, nice chewy dough. The size is also good for sampling multiple flavors. read more

Can you get good donuts for cheaper elsewhere, yes. Are these the best donuts I've ever had, probably not. They are pretty good though. And most of the time, any variety of donut I've ordered has been really tasty, hot and fresh. Depending on the day, you might be waiting a bit for your order but not always. This last trip was relatively quick even though it was getting busy. That said, whenever I'm in the area, I always stop by fractured prune. It's definitely a must for me. read more

Donuts were good. Much better than store bought and they make them fresh, which is obvious. However the coffee is nothing special. They add heavy cream and sugar without asking as well, so make sure you direct them not to if you don't want that. It was $20 before tip for just two coffees and two regular donuts, so I don't know if we were overcharged or not but that seems expensive to me, even for the beach. read more

BewAre- closed on Tuesday and Thursday due to staffing issues. Not sure if that is this week only or not , but when you leave the house telling a group of hungry kids you will be back with best donuts they've ever had , it sucks to come home empty handed. However based on the past 15 years or so I can say their donuts deserve 5 stars. I guess I have to plan one more rehoboth beach trip this summer!!! read more

YALL. These donuts are out of this world. They are cake donuts and you can make your own donut (toppings of your choice) or go with their list. Either way, you cannot go wrong. GO GO GO if you are near bc it will not disappoint. Parking available right outside the door, masks required, no indoor seating, and the employees were super friendly! read more

The wait times here are insane (30 minutes for 6 donuts). The donuts range from average to good in quality; considering the wait times I would've expected the donuts to be much better. The parking lot is also a disaster. read more

My wife and I came here for breakfast. The inside is pretty colorful, just like the donuts here. We decided to split the maple bacon and I ordered the death by chocolate for myself. It took a few mintes for the donuts to come out, but when they did they were nice and warm. At $2 a donut this is a fairly steep price. However the plethora of options, freshness, and taste make this a worthwhile stop. Maple bacon was one of the better ones I've had. read more

My God. I love the Prune. In fact I love it so much I only go once when I am down in Rehoboth for 10 days. I go on my very last day. If I show up any earlier I will eat Prune donuts daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I only will go THIS Location. I'm a Prune Purist. Made a mistake this year and stayed within walking distance...man did that take some willpower, but I did not cave and the wait was worth it. I ordered; OC Sand French Toast Strawberry Shortcake Lemonade Blueberry Morning Buzz Let me begin with OC Sand..it looks non-extraordinary. In fact, side by side, you'd think you had two French Toast, but they could not be more different. This is a perfect intro to hand dipped fresh donuts, but yet so sophisticated. It is a perfect accompany to your morning Joe. Not too sweet but oh such a treat. In fact, this could easily stand on it's own with a scoop of high quality vanilla ice cream...oh my God what have I just done?? Bonkey's is RIGHT NEXT DOOR!!!!!! So French Toast..if you placed this side by side with actual FT, I would dare you to tell me which was which, it's THAT GOOD...ok maybe better. OF course it's better, it's a flipping DONUT!! Truly one of our favorites we always get...and you should too! Strawberry Shortcake is so darn good too. Very light..does not taste like that fake strawberry you can sometimes get and no weird fake aftertaste either. Lemonade..what a bright donut! Totally different from anything we ordered and it provided a nice little break from the sugary goodness we had in the 6 pack. Blueberry..oh yeah..the one that turns your mouth smurf blue. Really good too. Our 7 yr old's favorite. She has been all over this donut now for 3 yrs. Again, true blueberry taste. Morning Buzz..I wish I could comment n this one but my husband ate it so fast I didn't have a chance so I'm going to say given that it was gone in a blink of an eye..well I think you can deduct it was great! I read some of the other reviews and I do agree that Peppermint Patty is *definitely* a niche donut as well as the Bacon Blast..both of which we have had in the past. Between the three of us we polish off a 6 pack in less than 10 minutes...so sad...which is why I have not ever bought the dozen...however there is always next summer.. read more

Amazing customer service, cute atmosphere, and good food. It was my first time there and a donut broke, so they gave it to me for free to try. read more

Ehhh is the best way to describe this donut. I had a peppermint patty donut and my wife had a chocolate cherry donut which both had a dominating and disappointingly overly fried funnel cake flavor. The toppings flavor didn't come through at all and there was just a sugary taste, even skimming the icing off the top provided the same flavor. My 3 year old daughter did enjoy hers but has no requirements other than sugar flavor. Avoid this tourist trap. read more

Crazy yummy donuts! Love the selections & options. It's a great option for breakfast especially when you have a crew of people at the beach house. read more

I'm usually not one for donuts but let me tell you every single one I had was outstanding! The maple bacon one was my favorite by far! So many awesome choices and the price shocked me. So well priced. So cool too to go in and wait and your number is a playing card they call when your food is ready! They also have breakfast sandwiches too! read more

This place is by far the BEST place to get doughnuts I live in Jersey and every time I come to Delaware I'm leaving with at least a dozen! I've even missed my ferry one time because I had to stop here before going home. The people who work here are friendly and put in the extra effort for customer service. They also make everything as you order so the doughnuts are always fresh and hot when you get them. They're all very good but my top 3 personal favorites are: O.C Sand Blueberry Hill Strawberry Shortcake If are ever in Rehoboth Beach this is definitely a spot you have to try. read more

I mentioned to someone that I would be in Rehoboth Beach for a few days and their first reaction was, "you have to go to Fractured Prune." Sure, I'll try anything once. I had no idea it was a shop that specializes in amazing donuts. The name doesn't suggest it at all. As soon as you walk in to this particular location, there is an area to enjoy donuts and a beverage (hot or cold). Further in, you're hit with a large selection of donuts. I'll be honest, I was a little overwhelmed. I ordered six: Cookies and Cream, Apple Pie, French Toast, Bacon Bomb, S'Mores and Rocky Shores. Every flavor was good, but French Toast really stood out. French Toast has a maple glaze with cinnamon sugar. I guess I liked that it was much more simpler, yet tasted delicious. The Bacon Bomb is basically the French Toast with bacon added. I recently learned of the location in West Chester, which is much closer than Rehoboth, so I may be making a trip there soon. Hopefully, the deliciousness is consistent at all locations. read more

Back in July 2018 my parents and I were on vacation in Dewey Beach. On the way home we traveled on the Costal Highway and we knew we had to stop at The Fractured Prune which is perhaps my favorite donut chain ever (especially since they hardly exist in PA so they are a staple of every beach trip in Delaware/Maryland). This location in particular was one of my favorites because it had a large store in addition to a room where you ordered the donuts. I did not get a chance to look around the store as much as I had liked but the donuts were legendary of course. When I am in Rehoboth again I need to stop back in this location to explore the store and get more donuts! read more

Amazing donuts super super good. I ate a few of them I felt like a slob after but hey your on vacation. My kids loved them also.

Was so so sad when this place closed in Rockville town center - so was super excited when we found one in rehobeth! Hard to beat a delicious line up of hot, fresh donuts that are topped while you wait. We had our old favorites - the ms prunella (mixed berry glaze with cinnamon sugar) and the blueberry hill (blueberry glaze and powdered sugar), which looks unnaturally blue but is very delicious and fruity! Our friends had the banana nut bread (banana glaze, cinnamon sugar and peanuts). All three donuts were awesome - melt in your mouth and really too sweet for early in the morning, but that didn't stop us and the many people in line out the door. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Amazing hot fresh donuts. Stopped by here on the way to Rehobeth beach cause someone in my car wanted to go. All donuts are cooked to order and the toppings are such a sugar rush. If you do not like sweets this place is not for you, but as a sugar junky this is right up my ally. I had ordered a dozen donuts and god we only needed 6. The extra did come in handy later when the munchies struck though. That's right these are also good 6 hours later haha. read more

These sweet rings are made to order so they are hot and fresh. You could draw comparisons to a fresh Krispy Kreme in that it's that same satisfying feeling of biting into a warm sugary donut but the Fractured Prune's donuts are on a different level. These are cake donuts so not the light, melt in your mouth texture of Krispy Kreme. They have so many unique flavors too...their base is a plain cake donut and you can go crazy with flavors and topping from there-- Strawberry Shortcake: a sweet strawberry glaze but no actual berries on it. Morning Buzz had a nice coffee flavor but was probably the sweetest out of all of the ones that we tried. The Reese Cup reminded me of the flavor of a Reeses with the peanut butter glaze and chocolate chips but I think the peanut butter needed to be a stronger flavor and more chocolate chips please! Oh and the lady at the counter was SO nice and patient (while we discussed the verying levels of deliciousness of each donut). This past weekend was my first time at the Fractured Prune and needless to say, I will be coming back for their donuts on every trip to Rehoboth / Lewes / Dewey beaches. read more

First, this place is NOT in Dewey Beach. Its a few miles up the road in between Rehoboth and Dewey. Just be mindful. We spent 15 minutes trying to find it in Dewey :-( DOH!! The donuts are AMAZING! So fresh, piping hot, and they custom make your donuts with fresh toppings. They also have sandwiches too. I came here with 4 friends and we got a half-dozen box of different kinds. Cut them up so everyone could try different one's and shared. Great customer service. read more

Why can possibly be bad about donuts made to order. The donuts are amazing and the management makes you feel like a long lost friend. A go to during the summer when company is in town. read more

My first visit to a Fractured Prune. I'm a huge doughnut fiend, so I was excited to share a half-dozen with a friend to try a variety of their elaborate flavors. The way it works is they make fresh (hot) donuts, which are then topped or dipped according to the order (eg, the base donut is the same in each flavor). That base donut itself is delicious, made to order, and much better than something like Krispy Kreme (comparing fresh-made). Not quite as dense as a cake donut, but heavier than a traditional yeast-raised. The toppings are kind of over-the-top (pun intended), sometimes overwhelming the donut. Some are also very messy, keep the napkins handy. The flavors skew to the over-sweet (some of them tasting like icing). Staff were quite friendly. There's seating inside as well as some picnic tables outside by the road. There was a coffee area off to the side (pre-made) which looked unattended and lonely. I'd love to see more emphasis on coffee (fresher, in the same area as the donuts, espresso, or something). I'd be happy eating just a couple of the bare donuts (which is one of the flavor options), but more than that is too much same-sweet for my palate. But the available variety makes this place a crowd-pleaser. read more

Definitely an experience you don't want to miss! Get there early to avoid a big line because they're popular! Cake donuts are pumped out by a robotic machine and conveyor belt to worker which then hot dip the doughnut into one of their 30ish flavors! Some flavors are great but some just don't make the same "pow" as others. The banana crumble was a little disappointing as it didn't even taste like banana. But the Carmel and death by chocolate were great! Would love to see them branch out to other donuts for a little more variety and maybe tune up some of their flavors read more

You'll know Fractured Prune when you see it, as the big purple building is hard to miss even in a fairly colorful shore town. Though the outside seems outrageous, inside is even more fantastical, with bright paint, toys hanging from the ceiling, and of course, fresh, hot, customizable donuts. Newbies might be tempted to start with the pre-fab choices, delightful concoctions dreamed up by the staff, such as Reese's cup, Peppermint patty, creamsicle, and chocolate covered cherry. You can't go wrong with these tried and true combinations, but I dare you to take a look at the long list of glazes and toppings and dream up at least one of your own. There are so many options here that it's worth grabbing a dozen ($13) as long as you've got a few friends to share with - cut them up and sample each, so you can try all the crazy combinations. Paramount to the success of Fractured Prune, not only is every order prepared to order, but every donut is served HOT, meaning melty glaze and pleasure overload for your tastebuds. This means sometimes waiting in line, but it is totally worth it. You'll leave wondering why anyone even bothers eating room temperature donuts. read more

BEST DONUTS! Making a stop at Fractured Prune is a beach week must for anyone staying in Rehoboth or Lewes. The donuts are made fresh to order and you can either pick from one of there specialty flavors or create your own combination. Personally, I'm a big fan of the O.C. Sand and Pebble Beach flavors. I've also made one with peanut butter and bacon which was pretty amazing. Any way you slice it, you can't go wrong with Fractured Prune donuts. read more

Never heard about the Fractured Prune until visiting Rehoboth Beach! I thought it was a cute mom and pop shop and didn't realize it was a chain until I saw the other locations. Definitely a place to check out for donuts! Basically, you create or purchase unique donuts that are made once you order. The combos were delicious, the "create your own" always keeps things new, and the service was superb. I loved how they called the customer's number based on a deck of cards. The inside was also very funky with different knick knacks hanging from the ceiling and the coffee bar was varied. read more

The best donuts ever!! It's all about the way you like them so these may not be for you, but I love moist, flavorful, and WARM donuts. It helps that they're small too, so you can try more flavors! I'm not a chocolate person, so if you take all those flavors out of the mix, their strawberry shortcake is my happy place. A sweet old friend of mine once drove me all the way to the Frederick location just for some of these -- I think it was my birthday? I hope it was... read more

Great doughnuts - the Fractured Prune is a must for us whenever we visit Rehoboth Beach! They offer a ton of different glazes and toppings that can be added to their base doughnut - they also have a menu of options/combinations. My favorite is the Carnival, which has a honey glaze and rainbow sprinkles. Their doughnuts are a great size - not too big so you don't feel stuffed after! Would definitely recommend! read more

After a full night of debauchery in Dewey beach, and starting to feel the morning hunger, I did a quick search, and said, "Hey, let's walk 4 miles to this well-rated donut shop". Well worth the lactic acid fillin' my gluts and quads, and the acute kidney injury from the dehydration. I would walk 500 miles for the crisp outside of these donuts and soft and tasty insides. If you come here for just one donut, either you live close and partake in donuts daily (and I am completely jealous), or you are an idiot. Make it easy for yourself -- buy at least 6. There are so many options. Alright, time to walk to my doctor's appointment to check how my kidneys are doing. Toodles! read more

Dont let the dingy shack appearance fool you, the donuts are awesome! You get to watch the donuts being made and dipped into the different glazes.

There are a variety of sweet and savory flavors that you can mix and match! 1 donut = $1.75 6 donuts = $8 12 donuts = $14.75 A little pricey but worth it! *40 cents surcharge if you use a card read more
