Fractured Prune

Don’t trust their hours of operation apparently they just open and close when they want. I drop all the way up town to get donuts to find the staff still inside but the door locked well before the posted hours of operation close time. More importantly I had to disappointed little ones with me

I watched this place grow from a little stand in a market when I was a kid to the franchise and great OC tradition it is today. There is no other donut like it. Fresh, hot, dense and gooey– it’s really best to eat with a fork and knife. I’m particularly compelled by the banana nut bread. Great coffee too! You don’t just order, you’re part of the process. The donuts are small but in a good way– like a gourmet treat. The perfect OC morning starts here before a long walk on the beach. You stop by Dunkin Donuts for a quick, pre-​made treat. You stop by Krispy Kreme… well you don’t stop by Krispy Kreme if you care about your tastebuds and diabetes. You stop by Fractured Prune for an experience. You savor these things like no others.
Oh, the playing card ordering system is a great touch. Very creative.

Finally gave this place a try and I wish I had came here sooner! So many different types of donuts and they were all fantastic. Highly recommend the blueberry, mint chocolate and Reece’s cup ones.

Amazing donuts! They are all cooked and prepared to order and you can either get one of their flavors (some of which are pretty exotic) or you can make you own and the combos are almost limitless. BUT YOU MUST EAT THEM IMMEDIATELY! They are SOOOO much better super fresh and super hot in all of their gooey goodness. They are kinda pricey and cash only, but they are worth it! I stumbled into this place years ago with my then 4 year old and now he is 11. I will keep coming back whenever in OC.

The Fractured Prune has the best donuts in the world. They’re hot, fresh, and they make them to order. Every time I’m in town I make it a point to visit! I can’t wait to come back to OC to visit! It will be one of the first places we visit!

I found this on Unilocal and look online and found that the food network was doing a show. Then saw the recording but I must seen it on the food channel. First time I order six me my mother and brother. It was so good we order it the next day and got a dozen. With ice cold milk and coffee it was out of this world. Never see doughnuts the same way. The staff is friendly and service was quick for time of the year. This place is small and no where to seat. They had a surf board for a table. I like this place and looking forward in coming back. Offseason only on the weekend.
Try the Chocolate Covered cherry, Strawberry Shortcake you will love it.

Limitless mmmmm’s. There are so many sweet options it was tough to decide; Ended up with several: banana nut was the favorite between my husband and me, our kids liked the black forest best. You should try it at least once before leaving town. There are coupons in the Passport book. Arrive early so you don’t have to wait; every donut is custom made after you order so the line builds up quick then wraps outside after 8 am. They open at 6:30
