    Dozen donuts
    Eli J.

    Tried a dozen donuts here. You order and pick up at window. Line doesn't move super quick, assuming they top at least some of the donuts made to order. They are very heavy cake type donuts, almost a little too greasy for me but that's just my preference. Everyone in my family was definitely not eating more than two of these being as heavy as they are. The toppings/flavors are creative and pretty good. I probably wouldn't go back if I was looking for donuts again, but if that's the type of donut you're looking for give it a shot.

    SO GOOD! got a half dozen with strawberry glazed blueberry glazed two porkys a cinnamon one and a chocolate chip donut they were all amazing! and service was quick!

    Getting ready to order!

    Yummy specialty doughnuts fried fresh to order. They are reminiscent of another chain, which we'll call the Shattered Dried Plum, and if we're comparing them, I think Sandy Pony doesn't quite measure up. My favorites were the Porky Pony and Cow Tail (hello, childhood candy favorite!). There are lots of fruity glazed flavors. It can get a little rich with the freshly fried doughnut and glazes that often melt into it. They also have coffee and açaí bowls; maybe we'll try those next time. Because they are fried to order, a long line can form, but they move as fast as humanly possible. Pro-tip: Like a few other places on the island, they have a cheaper price if you pay in cash rather than card. In this economy? Savings, please!

    Delicious warm freshly glazed donuts and coffee! Many donut flavors to choose from but I'm a purist and prefer the straight forward cinnamon sugar glazed. They only offer take out via the exterior window. Can't go wrong with Sandy Pony Donuts

    Some of the best donuts I have ever had! Great price! Made fresh to order! Soft and gooey! Great flavors! I could easily eat 6 because of the bite size, but it's perfect to try more flavors in an order. They have various locations, so I will be trying the one in Annapolis soon.

    Yummy!

    Amazing cake donuts made to order! A must try! This is not a "tourist inflated" review haha. We have a similar place here in Philly, but Sandy Pony Donuts are superior! Another reason to love Chincoteauge Island! Open April-October. I hear that their last weekend this year will be October 12-13. I'll be there for Oyster Fest...lucky me !!!

    These are great doughnuts! Cake doughnuts can be heavy and chewy, but these were surprisingly light and fluffy. Tons of flavors and toppings to choose from, so there is something for everyone. We got a dozen variety and have enjoyed them all! Love that they have a brick and mortar walk-up location in Chincoteague. I was expecting a wait once we ordered but we waited less than 5 minutes. Parking is in the back, and then take the wheelchair ramp to the front. Clearly labeled order and pick up windows make it an easy process to figure out. If you want them for breakfast though, get there early because we have driven by on many mornings and have seen a line!

    A great breakfast treat!

    Sandy Pony Donuts has grown up to a full fledged storefront on Maddox Blvd. Same great donuts and Açaí bowls but a quicker turn around on the orders with their bigger, permanent digs. They are open 7-2 pm so come early to beat the line. If you sleep in, know that it's worth the line wait.

    Bottom Line: Fresh, warm cake donuts topped to suit any taste buds served out of a food truck. I'm not a huge donut fan but every now and again I'll try one to see if it suits me. I found my taste for Sandy Pony Donuts in Annapolis and I was excited to try the OG on my inaugural visit to Chincoteague. The concept at Sandy Pony Donuts is that they take a fresh cake donut and then top it with glaze and sprinkles to order. It took a little bit of time for me to study the menu but I landed on a chocolate glaze and chocolate sprinkles. I can't recall the name of that combination but all the donut names are fun. I also got coffee to wash it down. My husband and I enjoyed our donut snack al fresco in the parking lot where the Yep, I would bet on these ponies!

    Very good donuts, definitely made it in my top 5 donut places of all time!!! The sandy pony and chocolate glaze donut were very yummy! They do have long lines in the summer but they move fast and are worth it.

    This was our first time visiting Sandy Pony Donuts, and the hype is true. These donuts are amazing! Even though we had a significant wait to get them, they were hot and very worth the wait. We ordered a variety, but we agreed that the Dirty Banana was the best of the dozen. We visited Sandy Pony on a Thursday, but I'm guessing the weekends are much busier so plan to wait awhile. It also seems that they have limited staff due to social distancing rules, so be patient.

    I heard about the island famous doughnuts and insisted on trying. They're located off of Maddox and operate out of a food truck. Easy and safe in CoVId times. After scanning the menu my eyes perked up at the fruity pebble doughnut. I then added three others and coffee to complete purchase. The doughnut tasted like an Italian zeppole. It was hot, crunchy, and light. Each doughnut was decorated and designed for each flavor. I'm used to Dunkin' Donuts in NJ so these doughnuts blew Dunkin' out of the water! Bonus order: the coffee was outstanding.

    Donuts are fantastic. Cow tails taste like funnel cake. Pretzels are my favorite. Better than duck donuts.

    From the moment you step in the door at Amarin, you're immersed in the cozy comforting aroma of:…read morebutter. You can literally smell the pastries in the air, which is maybe even better than seeing them waiting for you in the bakery case. On a recent weekend morning we opted for the blueberry cheese Danish, which was perfectly executed, with plenty of juice berries and lush cream cheese filling on top of a flaky, crisp and yes buttery Danish dough. Perfection. I'd love to come back and try a croissant, which look amazing on top of being HUGE. For drinks we opted for the Vietnamese milk coffee, which was just the right balance of sweet, bitter and creamy. It's a distinct experience on Chincoteague but holds its own against plenty of bakeries on the mainland!

    Fantastic coffee. Fantastic staff. Fantastic pastries (read: croissants). My family and I visited…read moreChincoteague last weekend and decided to try this place after seeing all of the great reviews and boy were we glad to have visited. This place became a staple for us for just the few days we were in Chincoteague and there are no regrets. Coffee: Both myself and my partner ordered the Vietnamese iced milk coffee and it was out of this world delicious. This drink was a bit strong but that didn't deter me at all from ordering it every day we visited the coffee shop because it was that good. Pastries: my family ordered the butter and chocolate croissants and they were fantastic! Huge, buttery and chewy inside and flaky on the outside, the perfect combo! We also ordered their chocolate chip cookies on a whim and were pleasantly surprised at how tasty they were. Normally coffee shops aren't know for their cookies but these were the perfect chocolate chip cookies - thick, the right amount of chocolate and not too sweet. We also ordered their peach and pineapple slushie and it was super tasty. I'm not a fan of slushies as they taste pretty watered down but this drink was fresh and had the perfect balance of tart and sweetness! This place is a MUST if you're visiting Chincoteague!

I will stick to donuts and coffee when I come here. The staff were nice and friendly. Need a caffeine pick-me-up? Check Them Out!

    (To show you how much Yelp means to me, this one is from mid-September and I'm just getting around…read moreto it now. Caveat Emptor.) Straight up - Dunkin' means absolutely nothing to me. Haven't had one of their donuts since I was a kid and I do not prostrate myself at the altar of unnecessary caffeine like so many in our society do. Why was I here? Basically, we were on the way back from OBX and someone in our party who has a two or three time a day Dunkin addiction HAD to stop here. That same person also has a restroom addiction which of course meant...we HAD to stop here. Little boys' room was on the less than clean side and I got strong armed into getting something, so I chose a Strawberry Coolata. The ice was half-blended at best so there were chunks galore coming through the straw at random times. Maybe I had 1/3 of it before it was a no mas situation. Look, if you're into this stuff and in the area, the location is great right at the intersection of 13 & 113 where there is every fast food/dollar store/goodwill derivative imaginable close by. If you're not, why even read this or waste your time?
