Customer Reviews

This donut shop is AMAZING. Once a year when I'm in the area I come visit and they make all my donut dreams come true. They also have the best Chai lattes I've ever had.

Best breakfast spot in wildwood! Highly recommend gor their custom made, fresh doughnuts and drinks (coffees, chai lattes, smoothies, etc). We try to go here every time we go down the shore because they're that good. 4 stars for service only because if you order a breakfast sandwich or drink, it always at least doubles the time you spend waiting for it. But I do appreciate the fact that they open the box to make sure they got it right and there are enough toppings etc. I also love the story for where the na

On our vacation in August we discovered this place! The selection of delicious donuts is hard to choose one, so try as many as you can! There's drinks too. Line does get long but goes quick!

Great breakfast shop on the Wildwood Boardwalk that specializes in bringing your creations to life by letting you customize your doughnut or buy already made creations. Great place, donuts are delicious.

Simply put: I do not plan on coming here again. First of all, I was immediately disappointed with how lacking my Reese?s donut was, as seen in the photo comparing to what the display donut looked like. In fact I?m writing this with chocolate on my hand because of how displeased I am with these donuts. Sure they came out hot and fresh, but baker boyfriend says they?re too doughy, and when we took our first bite they immediately fell apart. Just not worth it. Edit: lowered from 3 to 2 stars since we felt like

Good options, great doughnuts. Price was good for the boardwalk. Only issue is it's a bit slow. Especially when randos in front of you stare at the menu for 30 minutes, then don't know what they want at the register, and then the cashier kicks off conversations about her necklace and stuff.

Great donuts - just don?t use door dash to deliver. Door Dash delivered to wrong address. However the great folks at the Fractured Prune remade the order for us to pick up.

I LOVE Fractured Prune and look forward to enjoying their doughnuts every summer. Alas, they were closed in early June. I came in from Arizona to enjoy Wildwoods' beaches and foods. The summer season begins on Memorial Day, so I'm utterly perplexed that it's closed in early June. Please open in early June.

This place distinguishes itself from any other donut shop because it's so unique. Probably the least healthy donut on the planet, this thing is fried, dipped, glazed, and loaded with a pile of various toppings. I recommend the French toast donut with bacon. It's usually busy, and there's a wait, especially if you order a dozen or more as each donut is personally made to order (not prebaked like other places), but always worth it.

Donuts were delicious, warm and soft with whatever topping you might want. Sandwiches were good too and my iced chai latte was great. Loved this place and how unique it is.

Our family of four got 4 different donuts and we all agreed it was the best donuts we?ve ever had! They were fresh, warm, and creative! A perfect stop before a surrey ride :). The cashier took time to talk to our young children and make them feel welcomed and the person who brought our donuts opened our box to double check that everything was right before giving it to me. Incredible and personal customer service.

Don't get anything other than donuts. Undercooked disgusting breakfast after long wait. Returned the uncooked and incorrect food only to be given a raw hash brown that was smashed into a greasy ball. The lady at the register was very nice and offered to fix everything (again) but after two tries and a lot of time with antsy kids I'd rather be hungry than hope they can figure out how to cook the food they are selling.

Tasty donut I've ever had. Seriously, I had no idea what I've been missing in life. Tried the Black Forest donut with raspberry and coconut and it was SOOO GOOOD. I can't wait to go back and try the other flavors, and well as the huge list of delicious sounding lattes and coffees.

Sunrise at The Fractured Prune...good way to start your day in North Wildwood! Hard to make a donut choice because they're all so good and unique!!

Best donuts ever! They were fresh and still warm when we got back to our hotel. The staff was fast and friendly. The Boston Cream was delicious.

Absolutely without a doubt the best donuts I've ever had in my life without question. If you're in wildwood you NEED to try this place!

i can say these donuts were better than what i'd call their rival duck donuts! i had the snickers donut and it was amazing, they were also pretty big! i ticked off one star in service because the cashier was not the nicest, but i can look past that with how great the donuts were.

So good both donuts and latte. They make every donut to order so it is a little bit of a wait to get a dozen donuts. They have an express self service line for drink orders, and you can call ahead for donut orders. Get the blueberry donut!

The dirty banana donut is so delicious! Busy, happening place in the morning. They have espressos and many flavors to go in them.

We try to go every time we are down here. Amazing donuts they make while you wait. A million different flavours. Good coffee and espresso drinks! Best to get there earlier in the morning or right before they close to avoid a line, in my experience.

The fact that you can create your own donuts is so much fun! I love that you get them while they are hot too! This is where I had my first hot donut. The coffee was nit my favorite. I love nitro cold brew but theirs has a bitter taste I'm not fond of and their lattes are too sweet if you pick a flavored one. That being said, their donuts are out of this world so idc if their coffee sucks.

They make your order right there no donuts are ever laying around these were the best donuts I've ever had

My family went this morning to get some donuts for breakfast. The signage on the Wildwood boardwalk is distinct so it was really easy to find. The shop inside was clean and all employees wore a mask. We ordered a half dozen, each a different variety, and it's just completely delicious... The chocolate chips on top of the fresh, hot donut became melty. Texturally it was a great experience as well as the taste. The donuts were crispy on the outside, fluffy within. Definitely worth making a trip.

New tradition for us during North Wildwood visits! My son favorites are the blueberry hill and the fried Oreo donut. I love the Beach Burrito. Staff has always been great! I always order online and pick up. Highly recommend

Friendly staff and incredibly delicious donuts! A must in the Wildwoods! This family of four couldn't choose a favorite...sooooo good!

OMG. These doughnuts are worth the wait in line. They are amazing. We let the girl at the counter pick a couple of doughnuts for us because we couldn't decide, and her choices were delicious. Very friendly staff and delicious pastries.

I went here every morning on my week long vacation. The coffee and donuts are just phenomenal. The iced coffee is especially good!! I do wish the hours were longer, I know on weekends they are open later. On those days I love getting a coffee before hitting up the boardwalk at night. In the mornings they can be quite busy with a line, especially on the weekends. If you don't want to wait in line in the hot sun get there early or go on a weekday morning!

Just an overpriced donut. I don't really know what all the hype was about! Sure, there are many different flavors but I do think it's overrated, The same kind of donut you just pick your topping!

This place is my favorite everyday tradition for my vacations in wildwood. This place is the best fresh creative donuts I ever had. My favorite is OG sand. I would have eat that whole half dozen of that. It?s so amazing good! I love the peppermint patty it?s so refreshing good! I highly recommend to try their cold brew they are amazing good! With espresso shot it?s makes it good kick smooth summer morning drink. The staff workers are so nice and eager to learn communicate with me as deaf person. The place

All I am going to say is GO. Do not miss this place I can 100% guarantee they are the best donuts you will ever eat anywhere. I have had the hot Krispy Kreme donuts and they don?t even compare to these. These are life changing donuts. We had them every morning of our vacation. ENJOY!

Delicious donuts. Tried them for the first time this year and definitely going back. The story behind the name (you will have to go there yourself to find out). They are friendly and speedy. Online ordering and pick up worked terrifically: ordered and walked up and it was ready. They also have coffee and beverages. We didn't try them, but there were A LOT of people that were.

The wait was a little more than I wanted but it was worth every minute. The bagels AND the donuts were warm and delicious. The specialty donuts were very rich. They seemed like two donuts were packed into each one. I would definitely go again when I want to indulge. A must stop at the Wildwood boardwalk!

The people who work here are great very friendly and helpful. The doughnuts are delicious! We got the French toast it's one my favorites tastes just like french toast. The death by chocolate is also really good. The lemonade is great if you like lemon flavors. We always enjoy this place . I take my daughter for doughnuts every Saturday so it was really nice to have this here to keep up our family tradition ??

Absolutely phenomenal. Donuts are made to order, making them hot and fresh. I was very skeptical about their orange creamsicle I got with my shirt, but the taste was amazing. I highly reccomend this to anyone over any other breakfast place around.

The always hot-and-fresh, hand-dipped donuts are delicious! The variety and customization is amazing! ????? The front of house service was soooooo slooooow. The single person working the front (despite dual registers available) was distracted by everything, including back of house staff who kept interrupting, lost count too often on a dozen standard menu donuts, had to have custom orders repeated and corrected because she wasn't really listening, etc. Combine that with being behind a person with three kids

All food is subjective, but my wife and I both did not care for the doughnuts we had from here. Way too sweet with some syrupy glaze. The taste was not for us... and then the sticky mess while you're on the boardwalk is a whole separate issue that paper napkins won't help you solve. We wouldn't go back. The kids however, they were in heaven.

Grabbed their collectible Mug this morning w/ excellent, hot donuts ?? All of the donuts were delicious to the last bite.

Got the chocolate and banana latte. There is no banana flavor and whatever they use for the chocolate flavoring leaves this chalky Ensure texture in your mouth. Not even close to being worth $11.

The boardwalk needed this heavenly amazing treat ! The lines can get long because they are making them FRESH. Once you?ve had them is tough to get back to regular off the shelf donuts. Went there 3 mornings on our shore vacation.

They just had their grand opening over Memorial Day Weekend. The line was long, but all of the employees were very pleasant, and the donuts were delicious. Can't wait to stop by on our next trip down!

I?ve come here for a few years now every summer and unfortunately this summer the donuts were not made correctly and the employees making the donuts put in little effort and care into making our donuts. The donuts were good but I wish they did not throw them around the restaurant and have put the correct toppings on.

Excellent variety of delicious doughnuts. The coffee is also very tasty. They make everything to order, so be prepared to wait a bit to get those tasty doughnuts.

The best donut I have ever had! The owner was so friendly and the staff was great at keeping up with the morning rush. In one week we stopped here 3 times after our morning runs on the boardwalk.. it?s that addicting!

First let me say the donuts are the best around, the only thing that compares is federal donuts in Philly. The breakfast sandwiches were really good too. That being said; the place is run by family which is a problem because its a bunch of kids. When we went the second time for breakfast the kids got overwhelmed. They ran out of supplies upfront and the condiment station was filthy. Also we waited about 5 mins for our donuts, another 5-10 for for the sandwiches, and another 10-15 mins for the drinks. They n

It?s really cool that the doughnuts are made to order... my first one was still warm when I ate it. The lemonade one seemed like a good idea but actually tasted like vomit - I spit it out and threw it away. Coffee was just okay.

This place is great! The donuts taste delicious but they can be expensive. I always love going there but I?m too poor to go all the time. Over all this place is great and I recommend going there if you want a good donut.

My favorite spot to go to in the morning ? Amazing Doughnuts!

Fresh warm donuts prepared to order. Great service! Family got a dozen donuts and loved that they wrote the order on the box and put the donuts in order. That way we could tell family which donut was which.

This donut shop is ok... not really worth the long lines in the morning. The donuts are over done with the extras which takes away from the donut it self. Add that with an ice coffee and you got a sugar rush... the ice coffee is so so. Try it out for yourself and see what the fuss is all about...

I absolutely love this place Donuts are great People are always friendly I usually go to the one in ocean city But it's nice to see That there are other location Keeps up with the same standards Great place to get a donut

Food was great hot and fresh. The concept is great though their logo lacks continuity (the prunes I juries appear on both left and right appendages depending on the image.) I thought the hr wait was a bit extreme (30 mins after placing the order) but atleast they warned me ??

These donuts are amazing, just get there early so you can avoid the lines. Sandwiches are great too

The coffee was delicious. We tried several flavored donuts including banana nut bread and French toast. The fresh warm donuts were so good!!

I liked this place but the doughnut itself (before the toppings) is too sweet for my tastes. Once everything else gets added, it's just too much. It's nice to have more homemade options like this on the boards though. At least it's not another t-shirt store

These donuts are the best. Nothing compares because they make them all fresh and all the flavors are unique and sooo good.

I really am unable to share a review of your product but I do want to suggest that you change the hours on your website for your North Wildwood location. This is the second year in a row I have walked down to that location with the hopes of enjoying all that everyone raves about and I find the location closed for the season. According to your website there is a listing of Labor Day hours and then the regular schedule after that. Please change so those of us who vacation after the season won?t be disappoint

Yummy. Had the hole in 1 but honestly the ice cream just distracted from the ??. I ordered the nut banana bread donut and it was so good. Daughter had Boston Cream. I'm getting that next time!

Delicious hot donuts with fresh hot coffee! Yum! The banana bread donuts are my favorite! Are these donuts baked or fried? Either way, they are divine! ??????

Love the donuts. Especially the Plain Jane. You may think that it?s not good because it?s plain, but trust me...it?s amazing. Awesome flavor. All of the donuts too.

Best donuts ever!!!! Literally dream about this place all year long and is the first place we go for breakfast on vacation. Their prunewich sandwich with sausage on OC sand donuts is what dreams are made of!

Great donuts, lattes are great too. Online ordering is very convenient. We're going here every year for our beach week.

Yo..lol?their doughnuts are so ?bust-head? @ Fractured Prune?it makes me blush/smile and snicker just talking about them Check the menu and your sure to be delighted!! #BiGfactuals Let?s take a moment to discuss the unexpected!! Boys and Girls when they say they make breakfast sandwiches? ?They Make Breakfast Sandwiches!!? I?m talk?n bout if you not happy?it?s because you need professional help. I dig this place, it feels like home (modern @ that) and plan to visit often when down shore. Being ope

Had to wait 30+ minutes for our food. Cashier messed up our order and employees were flirting in the back. In the confirmation process, there wasn?t a choice where we COULDN?T give a tip. Horrible service. Don?t go here, unless you?re willing to spend the entire day there waiting. I can see why they?re called ?Fractured Prune?, because it?s pathetically accurate. smh.

These donuts are insane! We tried a whole bunch and eat one was better than the previous. I had a sausage egg and cheese on a French toast donut...it was ridiculous. We'll be back next summer for sure.

The Surfboard Sandwich is positively the best. Mint doughnuts taste like Christmas in your mouth. Now serving cold brew coffee.

I have been coming to the Fractured Prune for 4 years and it has been great! I really enjoyed your doughnuts. I also like the online ordering option! I recommend this place

Unbelievable, good. Forget Dunkin this is what you want. So many good fresh made to order donuts to choose from. Get there early to avoid long line.

Donuts were great, lots of interesting flavors. Prices were high though, even after price reduction and being on the boardwalk. 5 for donuts, but price knocks it down to a 3

We got their Bay Breeze iced coffee, it was amazing! And chocolate covered cherry donuts, made fresh! Kids loved them! Great spot!

If you?re gonna spend the calories, this is the place to spend them on! Warm donuts mmmmmmmm

I don't have a problem with the food here but the service today was terrible. 5 employees did not even acknowledge me and I put my order in online. They were not busy. I expected better.

I ordered two mint donuts and they were just plain donuts with icing and chocolate chips. They didn?t even taste as good as a boring plain donut. Didn?t even finish one of them between two people.

Donuts good, can t deny that, but 55 minute wait in line to order an then pickup! Unless you need more than a dozen I m not sure it's worth the wait.

Great made to order fresh donuts. Lines can form real early in the morning. Good way to get a a quick snack mid ?? ride.

Best donuts I have ever had! Owner was super friendly, bagels were fresh and service was excellent! I would absolutely recommend!!

This was the best donut shop I?ve ever been to. They were cooked fresh to order and stayed warm. I won?t be able to look at any other donut the same

Best doughnuts anywhere! Fresh, warm and Melty...we will be there in a few weeks for doughnuts and of course bike ride the boardwalk in the morning....what better way to start the day....can't wait

amazing donuts are to die for wait time can be long but worth it our Donut bill by the end of the week was as much as my brother charged us to use his place worth every penny

Delicious donuts with creative flavors like cotton candy. The line can get fairly long in the mornings

Yummy! So good.....so many choices!

Fun treat on the boardwalk. Spoke with the owner and she gave me a short history of the business. Great coffee. Definitely recommend.

Omg! I never knew a donut could taste so great. They were still warm when we got our order.

Amazing donuts and coffee. Highly recommend if you?re looking for breakfast on the boardwalk.

Best donuts easily on the East Coast. It even beats Krispey Kreme. If your not here to go the Carnival I don?t know what your doing lol.

Very friendly staff! The donuts were delicious, though the oreo crumb topping on my morning buzz could have been more crushed.

The best donuts ever and the nicest staff .... Couldnt find it at 1st so we were gonna settle for dunkin soooo glad we kept walking so worth the walk

Amazing fresh donuts!! So many different donut combinations, something for everyone. Great ppl who work there also

Little scatter brained and they messed my order up but it was so delicious not me nor my wife even cared. Everything from the doughnuts to the latte to the fresh oh was perfect
