Customer Reviews

Donut selection was incredible, many appetizing flavors. Breakfast sandwiches and coffee as well. Interesting to see how they are made.

Our family stayed two doors down from the Ocean City, NJ location and the experience was top notch. Not only were our donuts delicious, obviously!!, but the cold brews we ordered were also great! But the manager, he was *chef?s kiss*! Friendly, kind, cheerful, knowledgeable. Our entire family enjoyed him!

We absolutely loved our donuts?warm, fresh, and so many great flavors to choose from! Ken was incredibly attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We?ve been coming here for years and this visit was just as amazing as ever. Can?t wait to come back!

I have no clue how there can be a Dunkin or Stabucks within 20 miles of this place, excpet that a certain percentage of people are willing to overlook quality and excellent service in exchange for speed. The staff was engaging, polite and friendly. The coffe was PERFECT! I had a Cappacino and a Latte in the same day and both spoiled me for my home machine... I am not a donut guy, but I got a dozen for the family and they wre devoured, and the reports are that they were hot, fresh, delicious and on and on

best donuts down the shore! so many creative donuts, and they have make your own options as well! the frozen cold brew drinks are also amazing, and they come in different flavors. the staff and owner ken are so friendly, overall a great experience. a sweet treat in the summer heat!

Best donuts I've ever had! I tried this place a few years ago and trying it again reminded me just how incredible these donuts are. The glazer is also a super amazing treat. Great donuts! Don't miss this spot!

Awesome donuts! Cooked to order. Can't get any better than that!

I have long known Fractured Prune as a staple at the OCMD/DE beaches but noticed a few locations pop up in Jersey Shore a few years ago. After years of being loyal to our local shops I decided to try it out. First off, their menu is MASSIVE. Their donuts are similar to many fried donut shops down here where each variety starts as a fresh, hot, fried donut and is then topped with your specific order. However, I have never seen a menu this extensive. Inside, the shop is small but there is ample seating outs

Went with my husband and daughter. We ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything donut and it was so good. We also ordered half dozen donuts. I loved the churro donut and the cookies and cream. My husband has the Boston cream. Everything was fresh and quick to come out. They even have a small outdoor seating section out front which is nice.

This place has a great choice of different donuts and even if you don't like their choices, you can build your own. The donuts are made to order so we'll have to wait longer than usual but if you want a better donut than Dunkin Donuts it's worth the time and the money.

This place is awesome! First of all the donuts are delicious. Second everyone was so friendly. Then the breakfast sandwiches are so delicious. I've been to all the donut places in OC and this was my favorite.

This place is awesome. You watch the hot donuts drop out right in front of you and then they are topped with whatever delicious toppings your heart desires. From the simple to the crazy they are all delicious and still warm when you get them! Caution the box will be hot! They also offer breakfast sandwiches and a variety of specialty coffee drinks with crazy flavors! Try the French toast donut.. simple but yet perfect in every way. Pair it with an almond joy frozen or iced coffee! You wont regret it.

Great tasting donuts. Made to order. We got the 2 for $5. Left us wanting more. Prices seem a little high for the size of the donut. But it doesn?t take away from the excellent taste of them.

My husband and I always stop while on vacation! We love their donuts and highly recommend the iced caramel macchiato!! I just finished mine and wishing I had grabbed another!!

Food is very good, donuts are very creative and fresh and they are the nicest people. Love giving good local folks business.

Always a must when in OCNJ. The food is fantastic, the staff is super friendly, and the owner always comes out ans checks that everyone is happy. One of our favorite places in Ocean City. Will always come

Watch them make your creation right un front of your eyes! It's better than being a kid in a candy store... you're the adult in charge in the donut shop! Mix and match or go for their tried and true combos. Their service is quick and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Such an amazing place with unbelievable uncommon delicious dounts. I recommend the French Toast!

This place has the best donuts I have EVER had! They are very doughy and the icing is delicious! Me and my family love it! I went here 3 time on my OCNJ trip this year! Me and my family have made it that every time we got ocean city, we have to stop by this place at least once. I recommend the chocolate cherry one, the death by chocolate, and carnival. But I haven?t tried all of them. But I didn?t really taste any Carmel from the Carmel kiss. Also it was pretty expensive, but it is Ocean city, so I don?t k

We had 15 adults and children in town for a reunion yesterday. I wanted them to get to experience an Ocean City favorite and also keep it simple for myself to not have to cook. We ordered an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, wraps and donuts the night before and it was a hit. The kids LOVED the donut decorating kits. As always, there was phenomenal customer service and the team had everything hot and ready for us. Thank you sooo much for helping make our morning yummy, easy and fun!

Donuts were tasty. The children loved them. I thought there was a bit of an aftertaste. However, they were freshly made, great customer service and the staff in the back were working like crazy to get orders out bc it was packed!

Freshly made donuts served hot. Ordered half a dozen and wished we ordered more! Cant wait to come back for another round.

Excellent selection with custom donut options. It's about 20 dollars for a dozen and well worth the price for fresh and warm donuts. Newest flavor is Twix and extremely delicious.

Nice space, really nice people, and delicious donuts! The flavors are mostly in the toppings; the donut itself is the same for most flavors but they?re made fresh to order and are really good.

Amazing little donut shoppe with the fresh everything! And the dirty chia is my go to every time we visit, but everything here is a good choice.

Donut was delicious! I got the coffee shop milkshake. I think it might have been everyone's first time making it, but it was good! I like the mix of the coffee ice cream with cold brew and of course a donut.

First time trying their donuts and this place is AMAZING!!!! the staff was super friendly, and everything is so fresh!! Definitely will be coming back again!

This food is so good whenever me and my family go on vacation we came here every morning to get donuts and breakfast sandwiches I can't wait to come next year

Some of the best donuts we've had! The guy helping us was so friendly and outgoing. His suggestion of the Peanut Butter Cold Brew was nothing short of amazing! We look forward to our next trip to OCNJ to get more donuts!

Decadent donuts, superb breakfast sandwiches, and friendly staff make Fractured Prune the best donut shop in Ocean City! The donuts are made hot and fresh to order so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but everything from Fractured Prune is well worth that wait. You can also order online which makes ordering very quick and easy. We ordered donuts for my daughter's donut themed birthday party and they are guaranteed to be a huge hit! This is a must stop when visiting OC, NJ!

We love this place! So many choices. I had a special ?key lime? doughnut today and it was so good! They should consider making that a permanent doughnut. Yum! There is a man who comes out and makes sure you are happy. Offers wet wipes and forks. Maybe he is the owner? He is very nice.

A lot of choices in Ocean City, NJ - Different from "Browns" -- when it comes to some fresh donuts! The selection is extreme and everyone in your group will be happy. My fav is the traditional plain or cinnamon sugar (french) - the donuts came hot. They were solid and "cakey" - but very light. I was wondering if they uses a special refined flower to make them lighter than expected. Outside was not greasy and eating a dozen is simple. The girls behind the counter very friendly and I was given 2 for the pr

Love this place! They had one in Delaware we would frequent and I was soooo excited to see one close to my home! The donuts are amazing and the staff so pleasant. Me and my daughter love it and will be returning ??

Delicious! Got a six pack of 'nuts and a sweet tasting iced coffee. The donuts were really tasty and fresh. Nice addition to the boardwalk in North Wildwood.

The donuts are made fresh after you place your order. They are glazed and topped fresh too! Incredible flavors - I would recommend Ms. Prunella and Orange Cream. They were the most popular in our household, but we liked all of the ones we ordered!

Yum!! Warm fresh donuts in almost any flavor combo you are looking for.

If you want a GREAT cup of Coffee, Latte or a Breakfast sandwich you have to visit this place, the service is GREAT and the owners really care about their customers, when they come out and find the time to talk to you!!!

My two young sons were excited to share with the staff that it was our first time here. The staff was so friendly. We used their outdoor seating to eat our donuts warm. I heard the manager (owner?) tell a staff member inside "It's their first time here. Go check on them and see how they like it." I loved the experience. The donuts were delicious, and the pride in customer service was appreciated. We will definitely be back soon!

Great donuts and every flavor you could imagine. The pour over coffee was amazing and the owner is great very personable guy.

This place is a gem and a genuine family business. The donuts are hot and made to order. The recipes are creative, and grabbing a dozen to share is a great way to experience a lot of fun combinations. The owner has a real passion for what he does and it shows - from the donuts to the music and conversation, this place is worth your time.

This is such a great spot for breakfast! The breakfast sandwiches are tasty and just her right size, the donuts come in a million delicious flavors, and the coffee drinks are fantastic! The staff is always so friendly, and service is quick even on busy days. And their peanut butter cold brew coffee is my absolute favorite ??

The doughnuts are the best I have ever had, and I have had many a donut, French toast donut, lightly crisp on the outside and soft and moist on the inside, the only problem is that you will never want a regular donut again.

Nice place, no gluten free options. Coffee selection was small but very good quality!

They are cake doughnuts not the yeast donuts you get at dunkin but if you eat them hot they are good the breakfast sandwiches are almost exactly like dunkin not bad but ill stick with dunkin better donuts and half the price

Good..but not worth 25. A dozen. Toppings were good but the donut was average.

GO THERE!! The donuts are amazing! Fresh, warm, and delicious. I brought them back to our rental, which was about 5 minutes from the store, and they were PERFECT. I think it's probably best to let them sit a couple minutes before you eat them, as they might be too hot when they're first served. Don't skip this place!

Been coming to the Asbury location for years every time we are on vacation. As other reviewers say best fresh donuts around and great service by the nicest family owners. But don?t forget to try their coffee! I think it is among the best in OC and you can order espresso and lattes also!!

So good! Made fresh while you wait. Very good coffee.

Nothing like a hot donut covered in chocolate and m&ms. This place is great and worth checking out. The coffee isn't anything special so don't expect anything crazy on that front. The service is fast and efficient, but not exactly friendly - some might care about that kind of thing but I don't. But yeah, those donuts are great. We tried a half dozen different and none disappointed.

I found very little good to write about in Ocean City, but this place stands out! They have an incredible variety of donuts baked and prepared on order. They are still hot when served. we tried several different types and most were excellent. But the maple flavored topping was below par. I also ordered two iced lattes and and one was served cold and the hot one was not a latte! But the donuts are worth the trip. They also serve ice cream which we did not try.

An amazing little shop!! People were SO friendly and the donut selection was great! Coffee was delicious. Definitely worth it :)

As soon as you walk in, you feel so welcomed by the friendly staff and all the smiles. The donuts are so delicious and fresh. The breakfast sandwich is better than your ?normal? breakfast sandwich and it was hot and great with lots of flavor. The owner is very personable, kind and talked to my husband and I for a few minutes about the business and was just overall a very nice gentleman. The caramel coffee frozen drink was very tasty. This is a great treat and truly a part of the OCNJ vacation experience !

Went for coffee since it was close walking distance from our hotel. First time experience with Fractured Prune Donuts so I asked and I found out they were cake donuts made to order. At first I thought, ok, already made donuts that are topped with your choice of toppings. The owner explained further that they actually make the donuts fresh when you order! I was still sceptical if I would really enjoy a cake donut since I prefer the other kind. Well! It was amazing!! We went back the next morning for another

Excellent local homemade donut shop. Absolutely worth stopping!

Love fractured prune. I was just a little annoyed that when they closed the box, it smushed the toppings and had to scoop the Boston cream back onto the donut. Not a big deal.

The kids loved the donuts but the Prunewich with the pork roll for the meat was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had

Very good donuts! I think they could be improved a bit by making their cake a bit lighter and fluffy and get their glaze and sugar coatings a bit thicker to stay on the donut instead of running off. The OC Sand and French toast did not have enough toppings on the donut.

Microwaved bacon and eggs on my sandwich. Absolutely gross. All donuts are "old fashioned" type, more like cake mix. Not my style and I would have avoided this place if I knew. Huge disappointment, wait aside.

This place is awesome! They really care about the quality of their food. Owner is super nice and you can tell that they love the work they do.

The donuts are on the priceyer side (like $3 per) but they are DELICIOUS ?? 10/10 definitely go if you have the chance

We always make sure we get donuts here at least once on our yearly vacation. It never disappoints. The only bummer this time was that we couldn?t order custom donuts online, which we were hoping to do to save some time; only menu donuts can be ordered online. Luckily it wasn?t busy when we arrived. The selection is huge and we?ve never had a bad donut. I will say that the manager(?)/owner(?) who was working that morning was really condescending to the teen workers, who were all working SO hard. I wouldn?t h

Hot, fresh donuts made to order. They have a ton of options or you can make your own! The French Toast donut and the Prunella are our favorites so far! the service was great and the owner came out to check on us a couple times too. Definitely going back to try their donuts with ice cream inside!

The owner dropped off a dozen at my hotel today. Best donut I have ever had and believe me I have tried them all. They were so fresh and if you like a cake like donut this is the place for you.

I entered the storefront with open arms, and my expectations were immediately gratified, as the workers welcomed me in a joyful yet respectful fashion. I was going through a rough morning? but when I was greeted in such a cheerful manner, I knew this location would exceed all expectations. The owner specifically reached out towards me whilst ordering, informing me with splendid insight on their vast and delicious menu. I ordered a donut, and when the box reached my palms, the sight of a second FREE donut, o

While a lot of places claim to have the best donuts on the island this is by far my favorite! High quality donuts misse with a plethora of options when it comes to toppings. I really enjoyed my experience there. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious as well. Chances are anything you get will be good.

The donuts were very hot and fresh. We tried them for the first time and expected something more, but these turned out to be the most ordinary donuts, just a large selection of different mixes to them. It seems to me that the prices for these donuts are a little overpriced. I personally, I will not buy any more, since I did not get much pleasure from them as I expected

Great donuts! (they come fresh from the oven and melt in your mouth). They also have three V60 pour-overs for coffee and have some very unique and special origins (Haiti is one of them). They aren't specialty quality, but they have the potential to be if they had more space and the desire to learn/become a specialty cafe. The coffee is amazing. Really colorful and doesn't taste chemically altered (I don't think it was flavored, but I'm honestly questioning it)

Best donut I've ever had! I'm not a big fan of donuts, or so I thought... until I tried these! I ate mine still warm, and it was soft and a little cake-y, it was absolutely delicious and also filling, very satisfying!

Donuts are out of this world, a little pricey but worth it. The breakfast sandwich on donuts is something you have to experience for yourself. The service is top notch, friendly and helpful.

One of my favorite quick spots down the shore! My family always looks forward to a quick Sunday bike ride for a donut or two...just like Duck Donuts but better... quick service and an energetic staff. No matter how busy it is, the kids working there always have a smile on their face and are happy to serve. I am always pleased with the service. Enjoy this place a lot! Try the OC sand it?s the best!

I was there recently while on a family vacation, we drove by and instantly had to stop because my family was craving donuts!! Inside was very clean and the staff was friendly and took their time to explain the process! My family was helped by Lexie and Evan and they engaged us in conversation! Donuts were fantastic and we are definitely going to be coming back!!!

Had the iced latte - was pretty good. Also purchased 1/2 dozen donuts. Don't expect your normal donut here - they are hand made and sweet toppings - if don't have a sweet tooth, stick with the coffee. Service was good and friendly staff.

Honestly, the wait was WAY TOOOO LONG for the donuts... They needed to open the second register! Several employees wandering around behind the register stocking and doing whatever. Waited 18 minutes just to get to the register and another 10-15 after paying for our dozen and coffee.... And most of the donuts were all one flavor/type ( a plain donut) just with dozens of different toppings. Not my cup of tea. Nice folks but a little mismanaged in my opinion....

My daughter got one of their hot donuts I believe it was the carnival doughnut. It had a honey glaze and was dipped in rainbow sprinkles. She absolutely loved it. I got a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich and it was good. I would have liked more meat on it. My husband got a wrap and he really enjoyed it.

Awesome experience- an OCNJ must! Nicest owners and great selection of hot fresh donuts! UPDATE: They now have Vegan donuts!!! But you need to preorder them in a container of six (you pick them up Tuesdays and Thursdays only).

The donuts are fun and the kids had a hard time picking one because they all look so good! I wish they still served them on the frisbees! Such a fun touch!

Loved loved LOVED this place! The donuts were amazing and very moist & fresh. The staff were also very nice and accommodating. Next time I come to Ocean City, NJ I'm CERTAIN to come back to this cute, tastey little donut shop. ?? ??

The donuts, bagel sandwiches and service were all spectacular! Definitely coming here again

I'm glad I don't live close by because I would come here way too much. I love the warm donuts loaded with mocha glaze and mini chocolate morsels. Price is high for donuts but worth it for the experience while on vacation. There is usually a wait early in the morning but they get you through pretty quick.

I've been coming to Ocean City NJ for the past 10 years. My best friend's family has a house on 18th street and we just discovered this place today. We are in love. The donuts are amazing, the staff are friendly and helpful and how can you not dance in a shop that plays great classics. This has become a must when we come here. Absolutely worth it.

The donuts themselves amazing. Service from Lexy, the girl with the blonde hair, was rude. Completely unprofessional. She says ?oh, well we close in 5 minutes so.? Okay well you closed in 15 minutes when we got there, do you want my business or not? Should probably hire better staff that doesn?t hate their job. You work 8-12 how much worse could your life possibly get.

This place is addictive, it's just that good. Just make sure to be prepared to eat your donuts right away, they're made fresh and taste the best fresh. (Also check out Johnny B'goods right in there, they have some really good stuff)

The Fractured Prune has THE BEST donuts on the island. I was more upset when I found out they only open on weekends after labor day. They also have great breakfast sandwich type foods and good coffee. I would absolutely heavily recommend everyone to visit for breakfast.

We've been here multiple times. We've tried the donuts, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. First off, the service was good. We had a girl cashier once who wasn't the most friendly, but that was okay because the next guy gave us a free donut coupon for the wait. He also covered 7 cents for us when the total came to 20.07 and we only had a 20. The coffee comes in either hot, iced, or frozen, and a variety of different flavors. They're all very different and something you've never seen before. We tried the whit

Melt in your mouth donuts! I had the maple glaze with cinnamon sugar and it tasted like french toast. I also tried their bacon egg and cheese on a wrap and that was also good. They have a lot of options outside of their awesome donuts.

Wonderful and delicious variety of made to order donuts. Service was fast and friendly.

One of my favorite donut places in Ocean City New Jersey. The donuts are exactly the right size and they come in a variety of flavors. I like the blueberry hill, the caramel bliss, and the peanut butter cup!

Delicious hot donuts, with a huge variety of toppings. You could choose one of their preset combinations or create your own by picking out what toppings you want. All in all a great experience, and affordable.
