| - We'll start with the good. The flavor & topping combos are unique and essentially endless with the create your own options. The doughnuts are not produced en masse, but in very small batches, so they're super fresh, and you can watch the entire process from a large window. We tried 3 doughnuts to share: Banana Cream Pie, Key Lime, and a create your own with mocha glaze and bacon topping.
The best thing Fractured Prune has going for it is the novelty factor. The customization/build your own trend in food is huge, and this place caters perfectly to that, especially for kiddos.
Now, the negative. There's only 1 type of doughnut, vanilla cake style. No chocolate, no nothing else. You have to really be in the mood for THIS doughnut. The toppings and glazes are all pretty intense (even "Plain Jane"), so this strikes me as more of a treat than breakfast.
They are SO fresh that the glaze is really runt and messy initially, and the doughnut doesn't seem dense enough to stand up to its toppings. Interestingly, trying the 2nd halves 2 hours later, they were MUCH better!
Finally, they're a little over $2 a piece, which is pricey for doughnuts. Granted, still not a lot of $, but double most everywhere else.
Overall, we thought the donuts were just okay. We absolutely love BoSa, and this is just a different type of place. A great alternative to ice cream night or a fun treat for your kids though, for sure!
