    Yum! That's all I have to say. LOL. Great variety and oh so yummy! We will definitely be back for some more.

    (This review is for the second drive thru location in Bethany- but there is not a page for it- but the review isn't location specific). Kept seeing this all over during our trip to Bethany, they have two locations in Bethany, one that has a drive thru happened to be a short walk from the hotel- connected to a quick stop. They're cake donuts made hot and fresh and you can get dipped flavors. I looked up their menu ahead of time because I'm horrible at deciding. Unfortunately two of the flavors I wanted were unavailable. I got half a dozen which was $12. There was a decent amount of staff working and a long wait but the donuts were made very quickly. I went with the strawberry stallion (a backup), surfer dude(backup) and the salted caramel. We didn't eat them until about 2 1/2 hours after we got them but they were still surprisingly warm- although not the most pretty. My boyfriend got the porky pony, blueberry pie and blue moon. He said the porky pony was very bacon-us I enjoyed the surfer dude the most. The fruit dipped ones were definitely very brightly colored which differed from the photos online a lot. And my strawberry stallion honestly didn't have much flavor. I did like the salted caramel. Overall I like filled donuts more than topped donuts but I will take a cake donut over a regular one any day. Overall not bad, I think most shore points have their famous donut spots and for this to be Delawares I have no complaint. Just don't think it's a "must stop" for me!

    I have never before had donuts this fresh and hot! We ordered cookies n cream, surfer dude, mud pie, and blue moon. The donuts came out piping hot and the little chocolate chips on surfer dude were melty. Absolutely delicious, MUST come back! Coffee was also good.

    What a treat to finally be able to have a donut again! It's tough to find gluten-free donuts, and even more rare to find ones that are served hot and fresh. The employee working was able to confirm that the cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar toppings could be added to gluten-free donuts without cross-contamination. I thoroughly enjoyed both! They were hot, fresh, fluffy, and a tasty treat after a morning on the beach. The shop does get very busy during peak hours, which speaks to how popular they've become in Bethany. The space is small inside, but they've designated an entrance and exit to help the flow of people and have a few picnic benches for seating outside. Can't wait to go back again.

    A beach staple. Seriously you can't go to Bethany and not treat yourself once to these... I promise you'll swim it off! Every donut is amazing!!!! Be aware that there will be a long line, best practice is to show up early and know what you want.

    The donuts were great. They were cake like donuts did not seem like had a large amount of lard. They are made to order and came out warm!!!

    After waiting at Dunkin' Donuts forever for a terrible egg burrito, we went to get my nephews a Pony Donut and they smelled SO good, I had to get one. It was absolutely delicious. They have all kinds of flavors but he plain glazed was just perfect for me. It's a little tricky to find. It's around behind the store. Worth finding! And no line.

    Fresh, warm, delicious donuts made to order! I recommend all flavors, especially the fruit pebble one.

    Great donuts, fast service, nice seating outside! Definitely a place you have to hit if you're in Bethany!

    These donuts are bomb! There are so many different flavors to pick from. Each flavor is labeled perfectly so you know what you're getting and/or craving! The best part is they're made hot and fresh when you order. They're not sitting out behind the counter all morning. Prices were solid, too! Overall, very impressed with how good they are, only wish they were bigger!

    Gluten free and nut free - sprinkles, blueberry,maple bacon, coconut, cinnamon, and chocolate chip.

    This is a hidden treasure! GLUTEN FREE and nut free donuts!! Yummy!! The BEST Açaí bowls I have tasted because they are NOT too sweet. I could really taste the Açaí and the fruit toppings. I'm back in the DMV and what I miss about the beach is this Açaí bowl. I wish I had asked for light honey, because I don't do sugar regularly adding the honey was a little too sweet. It was perfect on its own, maybe just a little drizzle. The donuts were hot and moist. My favorite was the maple bacon, then sprinkles, coconut, blueberry, and the cinnamon and chocolate chip were okay. I wish I had tried the powder sugar instead of the cinnamon.

    Assorted gf and assorted regular donuts. :)

    Gluten free donut and the beach? Bliss! My husband went at 7:50am on a Monday and there was no line. He picked up gluten free donuts and regular (assorted). My tween and teenage girls are more familiar with Dunkin and said they looked smaller, so they were skeptical, but once they tasted them (warm) they were impressed (hard to do at this age)! The gluten free donuts were the best I've ever tasted. They were not chewy, but light and fluffy! Yum! Yum!

    This is our first time trying, Sandy Pony donuts and they are great! They always have a line out the door in the morning and we've always wanted to try it. They had a beautiful mural that was painting on the wall with all of the Bethany landmarks. We went in around 2 PM yesterday, and there were about 6 people in the shop. There was only one girl working the front and two in the back making donuts. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The service was slightly slow due to the short staff. We got a half dozen which included: Misty Mint, Charlie Brown, Ms. Sandy, Sand Dune (2) and a Raw donut. All of the donuts were very good and we will definitely be back to try new flavors!

    Always delish! It's absolutely worth waiting in line for. Nothing beats a hot box of donuts on the boardwalk.

    Quick Take/ More than just your typical smoothie place, as in bougie ingredients (cocoa nibs,…read morespirilla, charcoal), kids are a little 50/50, but adults really enjoy it. _______________________________ Menu: Typical smoothie place menu with a plethora of coffee, smoothie, pasties, etc. As I mentioned, when we have the kids with us, some of them don't want anything to do with the fancy ingredients. The most basic is a strawberry/banana deal. We haven't dabbled in much of the food, although we've had a few of the bowls and love them. Service: A quick ordering process. It's not a big interior, but they have a speaker system that you can hear outside. Other: It can be a bit of a wait (not because service, but volume), so I highly recommend an app order on your way and picking up when you get there.

It's a little icecream shop and they also have a cafe / coffee shop next store (I stopped in there as well but that's a separate review . This was tucked back a bit from the main like strip. It was pretty tiny inside and there was maybe 3 girls working. One case is all fudge and the other all icecream. They had a large variety of fudge and they had buy 2 lbs, $16 each, get the third free. I ended up getting 6 flavors it was easiest to do 1/2 pound bricks. I picked up pistachio walnut I for my fiancés grandmom, I got heath bar, chocolate and vanilla swirl, salted caramel, cookies and creme and it was either plain chocolate chip or chocolate chip cheesecake I'm not sure but it was the very best flavor of all of them! They had so many good ones and I tend to like more vanilla flavors so most of these were a combo of both. Everything was so fresh- I still had a few tiny pieces a week later stashed in the fridge and it's still so good! Definitely one of the better fudge places I've been to and way better than Jersey or the Carolinas. Definitely worth a stop!

    Deliciousness - 3.75/5 Happiness - 5/5…read more Ba Roos has a bunch of ice cream flavors to enjoy. The ice cream was clearly fresh and completely delicious. My kids devoured their sundae in minutes. The prices are very reasonable too for such high quality ice cream. I had a milkshake with brownie ice cream that I wouldn't order again. The milkshake was blended too finely so I didn't get any chunks of brownie. But the finely blended brownie just made the milkshake a bit gritty. Next time I'll stick with the ice cream so I can get the full flavor and textural effect. I also stopped by for a mocha the next day and it was delicious. They did a great job balancing the chocolate and espresso (I like my mochas on the sweeter side). But really, the staff sells this place. They are all young teenagers who were enthusiastic and provided quick service. They never seemed frazzled and despite epically long summer lines. They fulfilled each order with great speed. I also liked that they had two tip jars, one to vote for sharks being the coolest aquatic animal and the other for dolphins (I voted team shark because, I'm sorry, NOTHING is cooler than a shark. I love dolphins but they don't stand a chance).

There is no greeting, no acknowledgement that you're there because they're talking amongst themselves. When you are finally approached , there is no smile just a stare. I've been living here 5 years and it seems to get worse by the year. When I went to pay , I was ignored again. The three of them were talking to someone who had just walked in. I just stood , hating how insolent they were. Eventually I paid and the tall blonde basically threw my cup of ice cream across the counter! If I hadn't caught it , it would have landed on the floor. There are plenty of better places to go.
