Fractured Prune: The Donut Shoppe551

Don't let the wacky name fool you: The Fractured Prune promises to be one of your family's favorite snack shops - if, of course, they like donuts.

Fractured Prune specializes in out-of-this-world specialty donuts, with flavors ranging from Creamsicle, Reese Cup, and Peppermint Patty to French Toast, Lemonade, and Banana Nut Bread. But the coolest aspect of this growing chain may be the fact that customers can watch the entire donut-making process, then customize their own freshly-made cake donut, choosing their favorites from a buffet of glazes and toppings.

Kids' offerings - such as hot, hand-dipped donuts - are paired with white or chocolate milk and served on a Frisbee. Also popular with the younger set is the Hole-in-One, a hot donut topped with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream.

Parents, in particular, may be interested in the Prunewich, a egg, cheese, or meat breakfast sandwich made with a hot cake donut. Other breakfast sandwiches - made with bagels and bread - are available throughout the day.
