Fractured Prune

20214 Coastal Hwy., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

Known for their build-your-own donut with a mouthwatering assortment of glazes and toppings, Fractured Prune is one donut shop you can't miss! If you feel overwhelmed by the more than a dozen toppings and glazes, you can pick one of their creations such as Peppermint Pattie(my children's favorite) or French Toast(my choice). Half of the fun is seeing what others are getting and watching the process!
