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 outside. They also travel pretty well and even taste a little better once they have cooled down a bit but more on that later.
We ordered a half dozen donuts: Carnival (Honey Glaze, Rainbow Sprinkles), Lumberjack (Maple Glaze, Bacon, Cinnamon Sugar), Peppermint Patty (Mint Glaze, Chocolate Mini Chips), Twix (Chocolate Glaze, Graham Cracker and Caramel Drizzle), Strawberry Shortcake (Strawberry Glaze, Graham Crackers, Powdered Sugar), Vanilla Streusel (special - vanilla glaze w streusel topping).
I'm not exaggerating when I say they were HOT. Maybe too hot... they honestly started to taste better as they cooled. These would be better to take home and enjoy in my opinion.
All in all, I really enjoyed this place. It doesn't have the same atmosphere as Nauti Donuts or Browns but they are definitely great. The line also tends to be shorter so this is a good place to grab some on...
Read moreWe'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 white chocolate mocha, both iced and frozen, and it was better frozen. It's definately worth trying at least one of their unique flavors! The donuts were pretty good. They aren't the most amazing, but they have a bunch of different glazes and toppings that you can mix and match or you can pick from their menu. We tried the french toast, lemonade, blueberry, OC sand, strawberry shortcake, and plain jane. They were all very good. I believe it was 10 dollars for a half dozen and they are all made to order. The breakfast sandwiches were very good and also made to order. You could choose from a variety of different meats and breads to create your own. The price is a little expensive, but that's to be expected at the beach and nothing too bad. Overall it was good! I would definately recommend it and...
Read moreI 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, overwhelmed my emotions with a gleeful pleasure unlike any other. The store’s indemnification toward’s satisfying their customers was simply unparalleled… I was treated so well, it felt like I met a new family in Jersey!!! Not to mention the foreign worker who handed me my beverage; Could’ve mistaken him for an angel. I don’t write reviews often, but I couldn’t resist. Fractured Prune was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at any establishment. Thank you for...
