| - Man - I don't know a lot about donuts. Like, people bring donuts in to work and talk about which ones are better than other ones, and I know there are different kinds of donuts, but I've never really cared about the whole thing enough to learn any of that mess. Anyway that doesn't make a great case for why you should read my review, but I was here and ate the donuts, so don't be so critical.
Anyway let's break it down, yinz:
Price: You can get a dozen donuts for like, $15 or something like that, and there was a sign that said on Wednesday they were even cheaper.
Atmosphere: Dude this is a donut place. The kitchen is visible, and has a diner-like feel. The paint scheme and wallpaper make you think it's a tourist trap from the 80s, and they've got music going loud enough to be like, "Thank you - I'm awake" but not too loud that you can't carry on a conversation. They have a few tables but it looks like for the most part, people carry-out, as opposed to eating in.
Food: These donuts are freakin delicious. So they make them fresh - you can tell that because they make them right in front of you, and you can watch the entire process. They then give them one of a dozen glazes, and whatever you want from twice as many topping options. We got a dozen - all different, and they were pretty awesome. The donuts are perfectly soft inside, and just a tiny bit crisp on the outside, like you're eating an elephant ear at the fair or something. No - they don't have vegan options. It's a donut shop.
The Name: Why are they called 'The Fractured Prune'? I don't know. There's a story behind the counter that says why, but I got distracted and didn't read enough to know anything other than that there was a woman.
