Had Sandy Pony donuts for our wedding, and it was a slam-dunk choice. We got so many compliments from guests on having done this as opposed to a traditional wedding cake. Affordable, delicious, colorful, and it comes together fast.
Cake donuts, they were fresh, the glaze was just right and everything tasted good. I think the presentation is a little mediocre which worried me on the taste but turned out good. I only gave a 4 start because they only have cake donuts and the price is a little up there. For a specialty shop the folks behind the counter were great, the price was fair and the food was good.
Came for a quick mid morning snack on Sunday the 29th around 12 pm. We were the only ones here, service was quick and the donuts were warm. It was a cute small shop with great music playing. I had the blueberry pie, my partner had the yabba dabba doo-nut, my kids had the pony party and snow cap. They were all very delicious and we have some to take home and try later. We will definitely be stopping by again at some point when in the area now that we know it exist.
Got a half dozen donuts for the first time yesterday. They were all delicious but the Sand Dune was heaven! Almost forgot to snap the pic before we dug in. Staff was super friendly.
5/5 gluten free options 4/5 taste of gf donuts 5/5 friendly service Nothing compares to a fresh, yeast donut but due to gluten sensitivity, these are pretty good. Chocolate glazed had a weird taste and aftertaste but the strawberry sprinkles were fantastic. Made to order and hot and fresh. If you be need a gf donut fix come here! $6.36 for two donuts
I came on a rainy Tuesday morning so I can't say anything for a normal wait time. But I was taken care of immediately and it was really cool to see the donuts dropped into the oil to cook. I sat in my car and meant to wait but couldn't cause the smells that were emanating from the donut box were too tempting. I ate the Porky Pony donut....oh my goodness. The donut was light and airy, there was a crisp on the outside from, not only from being fried; but also from the delicious bacon bits. To me, bacon donuts
Had a fabulous visit today and was wowed by the owner and his business friend from Loony Bin BBQ. Delicious combo of donut meets East Carolina pulled pork was my meal of choice before a movie. Definitely get there, both places, if you get a chance. Sandy Pony Donuts has unique flavors that are as beautiful to the eye as they are to the palette. Fun names followed by toppings will just leave you undecided for quite some time. Very much worth the cost because they are made fresh to order. Be prepared to devo
I?m a little annoyed. I?ve been coming here for years and unfortunately moved away from the area. I called in advance this morning to confirm they were open on a holiday and I was told yes, we are open until 12:30pm. I repeated ?12:30? Even though you close at 12?? and the young lady told me 12:30 today! While I could?ve come earlier, I couldn?t. So I drove an hour, got here at 12:15 just for them to tell me they were closed. I talked to three people inside telling me oh we?re closed. Letting them know I ca
The gluten free donuts are amazing!! Definitely the best donut I've had since I found out I have celiac. Hot, customizable, gluten free and celiac safe donut options. I'll definitely be returning!
Delicious! Wanted a gluten-free treat, and these donuts did not disappoint. Service was great. They provided me all of my options. I went with Sandune, blueberry with powdered sugar and chocolate. Best gluten-free donuts I?ve had in over a year
Reminded me of when I grew up with the Fractured Prune! To me, this is how donuts should be! Friendly staff, delicious sugary start to the day, had Rise Up Coffee on deck .. no complaints here!
The donuts were definitely hot and fresh but no flavor. They all tasted the same. Very disappointing
Fresh hot donuts, with SO MANY FLAVORS. Truly unbeatable.
DE.LI.CIOUS. !!!! The donuts are the perfect size, taste heavenly when warm, and taste like funnel cake!! I love all of the flavor ideas! My favorites were the Ms.Sandy and the Yabba Dabba Doo Nut !! The fruity pebbles on the Yabba were still crunchy!! It was like magic! I got a half dozen with the: ms.sandy, blue moon, strawberry stallion, dirty, sea foam, and yabba I also got an a?a? bowl (on the Uber eats app the toppings weren?t really worth it at 50 cents a piece - I like it when stores allow you tw
So I meant to take a picture once I got in the car. Unfortunately, because the donuts were so warm and smelled so delicious I totally forgot and remembered as I was done eating. Ordered the Yabba Dabba, cookies n' cream, and the pony party. The one that surprised me the most was the pony party, the strawberry glaze did not over power the donut and worked well with the sprinkles. The fact that the donuts were warm made the whole experience delicious. Can't wait to try the rest. Update: we went for more :-D
I cannot wait to go back and try the other flavors! Sooooo good!
I waited a day to make sure I was not as upset after my visit. I visit this place every first Monday of the month and I went on 2/5/24 like normal. I love the $1 donut Mondays and have been coming to this location since they were located in the Annapolis Town center. I get the same order every time as I really enjoy the donuts. Unfortunately, this past Monday was the worse visit I have ever experienced and they treated me so rude. I would chalk it up to a one off, but in January-I had paid for two donuts an
Amazing little family-owned chain with superb fresh doughnuts, drinks and acai bowls. Big chains have nothing on Pony taste and quality.
This place is so cool. The flavors are interesting and the donuts are absolutely delicious. They come out nice n hot. Place is clean and staff was nice. Can't wait to take my girlfriend here because she is a donut diva.
These are the best donuts around. I took a box to work and someone told me thrley were the best donuts they ever had! They are made fresh per your order so you receive them warm. I would highly recommend supporting this local business!
Delicious donuts. We had Ms. Sandy and Yabba Dabba.
Q: What can be better than riding beautiful back roads on your motorcycle towards Annapolis? A: Stopping by *Sandy Pony Donuts* once you get there, of course! I'm kind of more "traditional" when it comes to flavors, but my wife tells me that ALL their flavors are to die for! I also wanted to thank the entire Sunday morning crew (Sep 13)?they were super nice and helpful today.
My coworker shared these wonderful donuts with the staff and they were amazing... I believe these are the top 12 selling flavors. There was one with actual bacon and maple on it. It was DELICIOUS!
Gluten free options available! Staff was very knowledgeable, and shared which ones were "celiac safe" versus "gluten free friendly." Ordered ahead and pick up was very easy. And, most importantly, the donuts were DELICIOUS!!
My Acai Bowl was delicious & Was very full (in container!) Great quality and so yummy. The donut was smaller than expected but so tasty!!! Will be coming back again !!
Finally got to try this place! Got a dozen donuts & the lady was super sweet + her recommendation was yummy. The donuts are soft yet have a nice crisp to them. The bacon donut is by far my favorite, I love the combo.
Best donut shop in town!!! Even during this tough time Sandy Pony has been delivering great service and outrageously amazing donuts! Always a great choice!
Best donuts I have found anywhere near here! Love this place. Their donuts are made hot and fresh when you order them (it was quick, too)! Their flavors and toppings are unique and amazing. I haven?t tried many yet but Ms Sandy is my current favorite. A few clean little tables to sit down, and incredibly friendly staff. I?d like to try their a?a? bowls, they look awesome! They also have bubble tea. I ordered strawberry and got my husband mango. The mango was a little better than the strawberry and I know al
Phenomenal, these were so good and at a great price. I got a chocolate and a fruity pebbles one and they came straight out if the fryer. Again these were amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Also the dark roast coffee was great. All in all a great experience.
Amazingly kind staff that is very knowledgeable about gluten free options. The gluten free doughnuts are freshly made and DELICIOUS! It?s so fun to order their unique flavors and make your own combinations.
Donuts are freshly made to order, many toppings to choose from. Love the French toast donut. Mostly carry out but they have a few tables. Service is quick and friendly!
I've had donuts all over the country, and these are the best. Fresh fried, melt in your mouth chunks of heaven. Never too sweet, perfect size. We love going to Chincoteague for them, it's become a tradition. There will probably be a line, as there should be with all the best things. They're worth it!
Stopped in to check it out and was pleasantly surprised to discover they are served freshly baked and topped to order. Was a little apprehensive when I saw they were cake donuts since in some places those can be stale but these were amazing! These did not last the weekend as planned and we ended up finishing the whole box in one sitting. Well worth the food coma!
BEST GLUTEN FREE DONUTS ever!!!! Like your not missing out on anything, they are delish!!!! My family raves about their regular donut also. So the wait on weekends can be ridiculous though. My advice is place your order online if possible.
Absolutely great donuts. Very light and fluffy cake donuts with a variety of toppings. Not overly sweet
My husband and I were introduced to Sandy Pony Donuts at the preview screening of "Dune" at Columbia AMC a couple of weeks ago. The "Dune-nut" was very tasty and we made a note of the business name. Fast forward to 10/31, we stopped by Sandy Pony Donuts in Annapolis to pick up some post-race treats (Hubby ran the Bay Bridge Run). I stayed with the classics: Glazed and Big Pearl. Hubby got the Blueberry Pie, Sand Dune and Misty Mint. The donuts were made-to-order, warm, tender, slightly chewy...mmmmm! Very f
Hot fresh donuts with a ton of topping options is always a win in my book! They've also got a?ai bowls and bubble tea. So plenty of options for everyone. The Charlie Brown, a peanut butter frosted and chocolate chip topped vanilla donut was a big hit with my wife and I. I really want to go back for a mint Oreo donut soon though.
I just discovered the best donuts I have ever eaten. Hot fresh and made to order with amazing flavors. This is a must!!!!
These have got to be the BEST doughnuts I have ever had! No joke. They are a little small and expensive, but I regret not getting a couple dozen the time I discovered them. They make them to order, so you get warm delicious doughnuts when you order and there is huge selection of flavors. 11/10.
Small donut shop with gluten free options that make the donuts in front of you!
Hot, quick, perfect! I just wish you could make your own flavors. You have to order from the menu that has premade flavors/toppings. Very good though, fresh, and can't beat it!
We used Sandy Pony to cater donuts for our event and they were a hit! I really liked that we were able to offer wheat and gluten free options to our guests, with so many different flavors. We will definitely go back for more!
My first trip but definitely not my last trip! The donuts are so good!
Let's get straight to the point. They look mediocre. But they are the best donut I've ever had. You cannot go to Dunkin or Krispy Kreme after going to sandy pony because it feels like a waste. Blue moon is my favorite from the store. But I will happily eat the majority of flavors. Try it out. You won't be sorry recommend eating the donut asap though it's best fresh
Everything about this place is great. The donuts are specially made. Very different from Dunkin, much better. And there service is on another level. They ask if you need plates and forks which is vary rare now.
Absolutely incredible in every way. A must go if you like donuts.
A bit small but packed with flavor. They are delicious. Probably the best donuts around. We will be back.
Very disappointed. I ordered an a?a? bowl and I barely have any yogurt in my bowl. I only have coconut, blueberries and peanut butter.
This place is great! My granddaughters insisted that I leave a review because they loved it so much :-). The cake donuts are the lightest ever, there are many different flavors, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The donuts were warm, which surprised us, and they were served very quickly. A big thumbs up!
We love this place. My younger son has food allergies, and they are really good here at preventing cross-contamination. This is the only place in town that I have found where he can have a donut safely. Plus, the donuts are awesome! The acai bowls are splendid, too. They also have bubble tea. What's not to like?
OMG! Best lemon filled donut I have ever had! Taste just like lemon meringue pie. Glazed donuts are awesome too. Can?t wait to try other flavors
The real deal. I'm shocked there isn't a line out this place every morning. We have tried a bunch of flavors but the French Toast donut is without a doubt one of the greatest things to come out of Annapolis, Maryland. It isn't too heavy because it is a cake donut, so you can eat a few without feeling like you're going to die! Which is fantastic! I can't recommend enough. The staff is always very pleasant too.
Happiness in every bite. I would go here most mornings before work. I seriously love this place, the workers, and the love they put into every donut. Other donuts do not compare at all. These are REAL DONUTS.
Had the pleasure of getting some donuts from this location last minute due to a cancellation of service from another company, and man was I not disappointed. The quick responses from the team over there, to the willingness to help on such short notice. It was such a pleasure working with you all. Not to mention the donuts were delicious!!! Our patients and staff loved them!!!
Donuts and smoothies were both great, and the staff was extremely friendly with excellent customer service!
I visited this local shop for the fist time last weekend and will most definitely be back for more! These are some of the best donuts I have had the pleasure of tasting. It was really neat to see the cooks make the donuts fresh, right in front of us! The gentleman who took our order was explaining the process and answering our questions. I found the customer service to be extraordinary. Everything is made to order so they are hot and tasty. The seasonal flavors were apple cider and pumpkin spice, both deli
Sandy Pony Donuts are delicious! Finding a (good) gluten free donut has been a huge challenge for me in the last eight years since developing an allergy to wheat/gluten. Their gluten free donuts are amazing and the owner made sure of inform me about their process of making the donuts, cross contamination and what flavors would be safe. When I?ve ordered in store the employees are very careful in the preparation to avoid cross contamination. My husband and family are also huge fans of their regular donuts!
We used Sandy Pony for our wedding to add to our cake. They are very responsive, and great customer service. I was able to order a lot of donuts with ease. I had some help to find out what was popular when I wasn't sure what flavors to get or how many flavors to have at a wedding. Very affordable and they tasted amazing of course. I definitely recommend them for your donut needs.
I tried the thin mint donut today and it was absolutely delicious! The donuts are a little small, but the yummy taste of them made up for the lack of size!! They were also very filling. I would give Sandy Pony Donuts a 100 star review if I could!! I would recommend it very much. ??????????????
I was disappointed when I saw that these were cake only, THEN I TASTED IT, it is a cross between a cake and a crispy creme. NEVER HAD A DONUT SO GOOD. It was served warm and rivals any fried pastry I have ever had. Very good donut.
Great donuts, kind and attentive customer service, and a locally owned small business! We had a great experience getting gluten-free donuts for my wife with celiac. The owner, Ben, and his staff went out of their way to answer our questions and make sure that we had a safe and delicious experience. Highly recommended!
Love this place. My favorites are banana coconut and the cinnamon bacon one. I always get the coconut bubble tea. I do understand why people don't like the bubble tea here because it is not typical or traditional but it still tastes good so I don't see the problem ?????. I don't find it overpriced considering your doughnut is literally made when you order it and warm throughout the car ride home. I have to say the few negative reviewers seem like they would be hard-to-please customers at any establishment.
If your schedule says closed at 12, you should close at 12, not 1150.
We've been here a dozen times and always a great experience. Try the Pony Pile - a warm donut with ice cream, a great after dinner treat or anytime. These donuts are wonderful! Hot, moist, a variety of flavors and better than that other beach donut place. The owners are often there and so friendly!
The donut experience here is very different than at a Dunkin. At Sandy pony you have a base donut and they put flavored glazes and toppings on each one. I tried nine different flavors and they were all delicious. The service was quick, extremely courteous and helpful. The donuts were to die for. I highly recommend.
Sandy Pony Donuts impressed me a great deal. It's the first ready-to-order donut shop I've been to. I bought the mud pie, which is their chocolate glazed donut with chocolate sprinkles. The donut itself had a good density to it and was hot and fluffy. It honestly was just fantastic and I devoured it in under a minute. The customer service is friendly and the atmosphere in the store is great. I'd feel dishonest to rate any less than 5 stars.
I'm a huge fan of fresh, hot donuts, especially when they're made to order. I seek out establishments who offer these when I travel, but had no idea there was one so close to home. Sandy Point is spacious so you're not crammed against other customers. It's also clean and the decor is appealing--it was cool, for example, to read the history and components of bubble tea. Speaking of which: the bubble tea is really good; I had the mango variety. The staff is efficient and friendly, and there's enough selection
My coworkers and I received a dozen of these as a gift to our office. Here are our favorites (in no particular order): Seafoam (Glazed with Coconut): "Incredible, 5/5. The coconut shavings were huge and sweet, but the glaze was thick enough that they didn't flake off the donut. Would definitely recommend to any coconut fan." Porky Pony (Maple Bacon): "Can I give 6/5? If I have a coronary later this week, it will have been worth it." Misty Mint: (Mint Glaze + Mini Choc Chip): "Tremendous, 5/5. I like the
Amazing, incredible, life-changing. Best doughnuts I have EVER had
Enthusiastic and friendly staff, the bubble tea was terrible. We got a black tea and a taro root, taro was flavorless and poorly blended, the black tea was iced tea with no sweetener added to a paltry amount of bubbles. Very disappointing. We have had the pony pile in the past and it was tasty. Hoping the tea was just a fluke, and that a future visit will be more pleasant on that front. Donuts are simple cake dipped in whichever flavors you pick, served hot. Some combos work better than others. I'm prett
Oh my goodness, how did I not know earlier in the pandemic that it's possible to get fresh, warm, fluffy donuts delivered to my door?! These donuts are absolutely amazing, and you can get them delivered with Uber Eats. This was the last donut place in town that I hadn't tried yet since moving back here, and they are by far the BEST. I love cake donuts, and these are beyond perfection. We ordered the "top flavors" dozen donuts and an acai bowl, which was also delicious. My favorite was the oreo topped o
I don?t possibly think there is a place that serves better donuts. The frosting to donut ratio is beyond perfect. The flavor selection is immaculate. I don?t possibly think there is a more heavenly sensation than consuming one of these pastries right as they hand the box to you and you can feel the warmth of the fresh donuts. These guys have nailed it; so much so that it?s almost rude to even think about comparing these to Dunkin?
No old donuts here! All made fresh to order. Delicious menu selections that are fun and creative. Donuts come out warm. They are cake-like, moist, and heavier than typical donut joints. Staff is polite and fun-spirited.
Best donuts in Annapolis hands down, this is my favorite place to go for breakfast. They have an amazing selection of different flavors to choose from. Wish they had a better location in Annapolis because I feel like they're easily missed but are well worth finding!
Not my favorite donut. A little too dense and heavy for my liking. I am more of a "simple" donut lover and don't love all the toppings they put on their donuts. Amish market donuts are my favorite, especially the Dutch crumb. Plus sandy pony donuts are $$$$$. 5.50 for a half dozen down the road.
My daughter described these donuts to me as we drove from Calvert County to Annapolis for Christmas shopping. We decided we should start at Sandy Pony donuts to energize our day. We met the owner as we came throught the door. Sorry I don't have name but he was so welcoming and talkative. We couldn't decide, all looked and smelled so good. The owner took a donut box and walked us through our order writing our request on the inside of the box. We got our 12 and left satisfied with our choices but also so plea
Great unique selection and you can't beat made to order donuts. My daughter asked why they were so yummy and hot and I said they are fresh. She said let's never buy donuts anywhere else again! Enough said!
What a cool little spot! Met Ben after he dropped off some donuts at Chevy's next door during our BNI meeting. Had to go over to grab a dozen donuts for our employees that morning. Great staff, love the husband and wife team and think they have a great thing going! Great selection and highly recommended. They truly love what they are doing. All the best!
My Co-worker bought two dozens into work today, they were Absolutely the best donuts I've had in my life! ??Trust Me, I LOVE SWEETS! And, I never write reviews. I am totally hooked! Welp, there goes my diet.
The donuts were fresh and hot. They tasted absolutely amazing, I loved the cookies and cream one! If you are in town you have to try Sandy Pony Donuts. I promise you won?t regret it!
Wow...best donut experience I've had in ages. Freshly prepared, these are not your average off the shelf donut. Wonderful experience. So glad I had some extra time this morning to check this joint out. If you like donuts...this place rocks!!
I. LOVE. SANDY. PONY. They have the best donuts I have ever eaten. I go there frequently. I go multiple times a day. The people who work there recognize me and my friend. If they had a frequent buyer card, I'd use it religiously. I once spent my entire paycheck on sandy pony, and I have no regrets (the electricity shut off but oh well.. Priorities) The only way they could possibly improve is to be open 24/7, and I surely would be there 24/7. I have such a love for sandy pony I always leave a tip in the tip
Easily the best fried donut I?ve ever had. This was nuts.
Amazing donuts. I had one yesterday with my fiancee and we were floored by the taste. I had the banana/oreo donut. It was pure goodness. The donuts are smaller compared to other donut shops but the taste is what matters. I will definitely be coming back soon.
Delicious and warm. Good selection on flavors and they come out beautiful.
Easily the best donuts I've ever had! Each time I've gone I've had to cut back on how many I order (the don't last long in my hands). The none standard flavors are exceptional!
Best donuts in Annapolis. Hot, Fresh, Great selection, & Friendly atmosphere, worth the 10 minute drive. 24 different flavors, a donut of the day, and made to order, find your favorite and enjoy a hot donut today.
I discovered them while driving to work one morning and after having the Ms. Sandy, the Sand Dune and the Banana Coconut, I have fallen IN LOVE with this place. The donuts are made to order therefore they are warm and gooey when you get them. Nothing like them in the area...if you get the chance check them out!
