My husband and I were introduced to Sandy Pony Donuts at the preview screening of Dune at Columbia AMC a couple of weeks ago. The Dune-nut was very tasty and we made a note of the business name. Fast forward to 10/31, we stopped by Sandy Pony Donuts in Annapolis to pick up some post-race treats (Hubby ran the Bay Bridge Run). I stayed with the classics: Glazed and Big Pearl. Hubby got the Blueberry Pie, Sand Dune and Misty Mint. The donuts were made-to-order, warm, tender, slightly chewy...mmmmm! Very friendly staff, quick transaction - we would absolutely purchase from this business again! P.S. the donuts were consumed in the car on the drive home. :-)
So I meant to take a picture once I got in the car. Unfortunately, because the donuts were so warm and smelled so delicious I totally forgot and remembered as I was done eating. Ordered the Yabba Dabba, cookies n cream, and the pony party. The one that surprised me the most was the pony party, the strawberry glaze did not over power the donut and worked well with the sprinkles. The fact that the donuts were warm made the whole experience delicious. Cant wait to try the rest.Update: we went for more :-D
I tried the thin mint donut today and it was absolutely delicious! The donuts are a little small, but the yummy taste of them made up for the lack of size!! They were also very filling. I would give Sandy Pony Donuts a 100 star review if I could!! I would recommend it very much. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💫
Best donuts Ive ever had. The Ms. Sandy ones are the best. All the donuts are the same base donuts with just different toppings.
Sandy Pony donuts have amazing selection of donuts and they are good. My first impression about the place is good. I hope that I get to try their Boba tea so I can make a review on it.
Great donuts, kind and attentive customer service, and a locally owned small business! We had a great experience getting gluten-free donuts for my wife with celiac. The owner, Ben, and his staff went out of their way to answer our questions and make sure that we had a safe and delicious experience. Highly recommended!
Best donuts in Annapolis hands down, this is my favorite place to go for breakfast. They have an amazing selection of different flavors to choose from. Wish they had a better location in Annapolis because I feel like theyre easily missed but are well worth finding!
Had a fabulous visit today and was wowed by the owner and his business friend from Loony Bin BBQ. Delicious combo of donut meets East Carolina pulled pork was my meal of choice before a movie. Definitely get there, both places, if you get a chance.Sandy Pony Donuts has unique flavors that are as beautiful to the eye as they are to the palette. Fun names followed by toppings will just leave you undecided for quite some time. Very much worth the cost because they are made fresh to order. Be prepared to devour the most sweetest concoction to your mouth yet.One of the photos here is a donut meets East Carolina pulled pork meal. Loony Bin BBQ folks drop by on occasion for a mash-up and Im glad I was there for their visit today.
Great unique selection and you cant beat made to order donuts. My daughter asked why they were so yummy and hot and I said they are fresh. She said lets never buy donuts anywhere else again! Enough said!
Amazing! On vacation and found this little gem! Girls got mango boba tea and donuts all was so yummy!
Your donuts are one of the best I’ve ever had. This place definitely comes in top 2 for any of the donut places I’ve been to.
This place is the greatest. 10/10 would recommend.
Super delicious doughnuts and super cute shirts! 10/10 recommend!
Iloved the donuts at this place! It was so worth the wait, and it was decorated so nicely!
Got a donut and a chai tea while waiting for my car to be serviced at the Subaru across the street. Big delight to my day! The fruity pebble donut was freshly made and really warm! The dude serving me was really helpful and nice! Might come back just for that chai tea!
Guys, do not dishonor your families by missing this donut joint. The donuts are FIRE. They make them to order and serve amazing coffee to go with. If you havent had a sandy pony donut, what are you doing?!
The donuts here are amazing, they’re warm every time I pick them up and taste delicious. I wish there were more locations!
I don’t possibly think there is a place that serves better donuts. The frosting to donut ratio is beyond perfect. The flavor selection is immaculate. I don’t possibly think there is a more heavenly sensation than consuming one of these pastries right as they hand the box to you and you can feel the warmth of the fresh donuts. These guys have nailed it; so much so that it’s almost rude to even think about comparing these to Dunkin’
Q: What can be better than riding beautiful back roads on your motorcycle towards Annapolis?A: Stopping by *Sandy Pony Donuts* once you get there, of course!Im kind of more traditional when it comes to flavors, but my wife tells me that ALL their flavors are to die for!I also wanted to thank the entire Sunday morning crew (Sep 13)—they were super nice and helpful today.
Amazing donuts and Boba teas. The donuts were still warm when they arrived at my house. (Ordered from Uber Eats). Hands down the best donuts weve had in the area.
I at first was a little disappointed with the size of the donut, but it turns out that the deliciousness makes up for the size 100%! So fluffy and warm, and I definitely recommend going for the bacon ;) Coming back for sure!
We waited in line for 15minutes for these donuts!Worth the wait!
Hot fresh donuts with a ton of topping options is always a win in my book! Theyve also got açai bowls and bubble tea. So plenty of options for everyone. The Charlie Brown, a peanut butter frosted and chocolate chip topped vanilla donut was a big hit with my wife and I. I really want to go back for a mint Oreo donut soon though.
Best donuts I have found anywhere near here! Love this place. Their donuts are made hot and fresh when you order them (it was quick, too)! Their flavors and toppings are unique and amazing. I haven’t tried many yet but Ms Sandy is my current favorite. A few clean little tables to sit down, and incredibly friendly staff. I’d like to try their açaí bowls, they look awesome! They also have bubble tea. I ordered strawberry and got my husband mango. The mango was a little better than the strawberry and I know all places make theirs differently but overall I would not recommend their bubble tea as it is a bit watery and lacking in flavor for my tastes. I will be back as soon as I can!
Stopped in to check it out and was pleasantly surprised to discover they are served freshly baked and topped to order. Was a little apprehensive when I saw they were cake donuts since in some places those can be stale but these were amazing! These did not last the weekend as planned and we ended up finishing the whole box in one sitting. Well worth the food coma!
Ben @Sandy Pony Donuts went above and beyond to help us out. We live in North Carolina and wanted to send donuts to a family friend and her coworkers at a nearby hospital. He was so very kind and accommodating. Ben even sent us a picture of our friend when he made the delivery. Things like this are what makes a business stand out from others. Thank you so much!
Sandy Pony Donuts are delicious! Finding a (good) gluten free donut has been a huge challenge for me in the last eight years since developing an allergy to wheat/gluten. Their gluten free donuts are amazing and the owner made sure of inform me about their process of making the donuts, cross contamination and what flavors would be safe. When I’ve ordered in store the employees are very careful in the preparation to avoid cross contamination. My husband and family are also huge fans of their regular donuts!
Best doughnuts in the Annapolis area! And I am a Homer Simpson-level doughnut connoisseur!
This is a true hidden gem. The doughnuts look and taste amazing. You can expect excellent service in a timely manner considering the doughnuts are made to order and come hot.
Oh my goodness, how did I not know earlier in the pandemic that its possible to get fresh, warm, fluffy donuts delivered to my door?! These donuts are absolutely amazing, and you can get them delivered with Uber Eats. This was the last donut place in town that I hadnt tried yet since moving back here, and they are by far the BEST. I love cake donuts, and these are beyond perfection. We ordered the top flavors dozen donuts and an acai bowl, which was also delicious. My favorite was the oreo topped one, and my husband loved the porky pony (seriously, who doesnt love bacon?!). My kids liked the ones with sprinkles and with mini chocolate chips. I cannot recommend these enough, and absolutely nothing is better for a lazy day-after-christmas treat when youre stuck in quarantine than opening the door to retrieve a warm box of goodies.
I loved my first visit here. They gave me a great assortment of delicious fresh donuts. The staff was courteous too. Cant wait to go back.
Sandy pony never misses. absolute gas. best acai bowls in town. service always with a smile. if u want a happy tummy go to sandy point. 🧑🏼🍳💋
So fresh and delicious
We used Sandy Pony for our wedding to add to our cake. They are very responsive, and great customer service. I was able to order a lot of donuts with ease. I had some help to find out what was popular when I wasnt sure what flavors to get or how many flavors to have at a wedding. Very affordable and they tasted amazing of course. I definitely recommend them for your donut needs.
Very good açaí bowls and fast service. Would recommend. Great donuts as well
Every donut, every time ... 💯 delicious!! Best Açaí Bowls I’ve every had. You will not be disappointed!!
Perfection.
Fell in love years ago in Chincoteague. The most awesome donuts. I do not mind driving 30 minutes to get them in Annapolis. I only get sad when I eat them so fast they are gone in less than 5! Waiting for the Sandy Pony Donuts webcam so we can watch them being made.
These donuts are delicious and the helpers are friendly and fast!!!
Slow service, but I understand due to corona precautions. Great açaí bowls and nice atmosphere!
Hands down the best donuts we’ve ever had.. Always fresh, warm, and made to order.
My coworkers and I received a dozen of these as a gift to our office. Here are our favorites (in no particular order):Seafoam (Glazed with Coconut): Incredible, 5/5. The coconut shavings were huge and sweet, but the glaze was thick enough that they didnt flake off the donut. Would definitely recommend to any coconut fan.Porky Pony (Maple Bacon): Can I give 6/5? If I have a coronary later this week, it will have been worth it.Misty Mint: (Mint Glaze + Mini Choc Chip): Tremendous, 5/5. I like the idea of the chips instead of mixing the glaze differently; it gave the otherwise soft donut a little interesting texture.Salted Caramel (Caramel Pretzel): 4/5 for me. I went in hoping that the pretzels would have been crunchy, but I think (probably due to the cooking process?) that they were supposed to be but got a bit soggy instead. I also understand that they were made fresh, so they might have been crunchier while fresh but got a bit soggy on the drive.Pony Party (Strawberry Sprinkles): 3/5. I am normally a huge sprinkle fan but the sprinkles were a little chalky, and I didnt really taste strawberry. The glaze was still good, though.Cookies & Cream (Glazed with Oreo Crumble): 5/5. Very tasty.We are still eating through the last of them and are very satisfied customers - almost everyone who had a donut came to ask me who made them. Thank you, Sandy Pony!
No old donuts here! All made fresh to order. Delicious menu selections that are fun and creative. Donuts come out warm. They are cake-like, moist, and heavier than typical donut joints. Staff is polite and fun-spirited.
Fresh made to order! Lots of flavors and served warm!
Picked up at the Dunkirk delivery drop off this week! Safe, friendly, and impressive system! Can’t say enough about the great customer service! Thanks for coming to Calvert! Can’t wait for your next delivery!
I wish I hated these donuts. But not. I love them.
This is the best! We have been coming here for years .... started in MXB AND now in Bethany!
I absolutely love this place, the donuts are so delicious and fun flavored. The staff is always friendly and the place is so clean! Every time I drive through anapolis I have to stop!
I visited this local shop for the fist time last weekend and will most definitely be back for more! These are some of the best donuts I have had the pleasure of tasting. It was really neat to see the cooks make the donuts fresh, right in front of us! The gentleman who took our order was explaining the process and answering our questions. I found the customer service to be extraordinary. Everything is made to order so they are hot and tasty. The seasonal flavors were apple cider and pumpkin spice, both delicious! Cant wait to make another trip to Sandy Pony!
Kids loved the fruity pebble donut! Great service too!
Still hot and made to order is obviously a plus, but the raw (plain) one was already too sweet, making the Ms. Sandy (glazed with cinnamon?) over the top sweet. If you love crazy sweet desserts, maybe this is for you.
Love this place. My favorites are banana coconut and the cinnamon bacon one. I always get the coconut bubble tea. I do understand why people dont like the bubble tea here because it is not typical or traditional but it still tastes good so I dont see the problem 🤷♀️. I dont find it overpriced considering your doughnut is literally made when you order it and warm throughout the car ride home. I have to say the few negative reviewers seem like they would be hard-to-please customers at any establishment.
Such a wonderful experience, Went for the first time and my order was not correct when I got home and looked in the box. So disappointed. Then I made a call to tell them and the Manager drove us out a correct order and gave us some coupons! This is great service and wonderful donuts! the porky pony was amazing!
Weve been here a dozen times and always a great experience. Try the Pony Pile - a warm donut with ice cream, a great after dinner treat or anytime. These donuts are wonderful! Hot, moist, a variety of flavors and better than that other beach donut place. The owners are often there and so friendly!
I had the pleasure of trying some donuts from Sandy Pony. I must say they were the most delicious donuts that I have ever eaten.. I stopped in after hearing about it from a friend and Im glad I did & so are my kids.. I got a dozen mixed and the whole family agreed that this is our new donut shop (& our only one as well) ..Thanks for the great service as well. .See ya soon.
Always amazing bowls and donuts! Including gluten free!!
Im a huge fan of fresh, hot donuts, especially when theyre made to order. I seek out establishments who offer these when I travel, but had no idea there was one so close to home. Sandy Point is spacious so youre not crammed against other customers. Its also clean and the decor is appealing--it was cool, for example, to read the history and components of bubble tea. Speaking of which: the bubble tea is really good; I had the mango variety. The staff is efficient and friendly, and theres enough selection in the donuts to return multiple times without repeats, even if youre getting a half dozen. It will be hard to refrain from patronizing Sandy Point daily!
The donut experience here is very different than at a Dunkin. At Sandy pony you have a base donut and they put flavored glazes and toppings on each one. I tried nine different flavors and they were all delicious. The service was quick, extremely courteous and helpful. The donuts were to die for. I highly recommend.
These donuts are AMAZING! Always fresh and hot and the staff is great!
What a cool little spot! Met Ben after he dropped off some donuts at Chevys next door during our BNI meeting. Had to go over to grab a dozen donuts for our employees that morning. Great staff, love the husband and wife team and think they have a great thing going! Great selection and highly recommended. They truly love what they are doing. All the best!
Great service! Excellent donuts! Wish they had a gluten free option. We were worried they were gone but are happy to learn theyre moving to a better soon location and hopefully parking will be better. We hear they will reopen February 2017.
These donuts are life-changing. No other donut compares to Sandy Pony Donuts. Wow! Go get some right now. Im considering moving to Maryland because of these donuts.
The donuts are delicious but the açaí bowls are bizarre... it’s shaved ice with fruit juice so I was pretty disappointed when i got ice juice for $9
Amazing donuts. I had one yesterday with my fiancee and we were floored by the taste. I had the banana/oreo donut. It was pure goodness. The donuts are smaller compared to other donut shops but the taste is what matters. I will definitely be coming back soon.
Really fresh and tasty. Came in 15 minutes before close and they still greeted me with a smile. Donut was kind of smaller than I expected but cant beat a delicious donut and hot coffee for $3. Wish there was one in my area!
I. LOVE. SANDY. PONY. They have the best donuts I have ever eaten. I go there frequently. I go multiple times a day. The people who work there recognize me and my friend. If they had a frequent buyer card, Id use it religiously. I once spent my entire paycheck on sandy pony, and I have no regrets (the electricity shut off but oh well.. Priorities) The only way they could possibly improve is to be open 24/7, and I surely would be there 24/7. I have such a love for sandy pony I always leave a tip in the tip jar every time I I to show my gratitude to the people who work there and thank whoever opened the shop up, because you have brightened my life up with these donuts they have honestly made me so happy. If I won the lottery I would use the money to not only buy tons of donuts but to open up my own stores solely so I would have access to these donuts in demand because I couldnt imagine anything better ❤️❤️I LOVE ALL OF YOU AT SANDY PONY!!!
Well....First time here. And I must say that i am so incredibly grateful that these little morsels of yumminess are not any bigger, it gives me room to try more than one and not feel like the human version of a Porky Pony.I bought a dozen assorted flavors, have tasted 2 so far and having trouble not reaching for more.They are every bit of all the great descriptions so far.I think I will go home with the rest of my box and put myself into the happiest donut coma ever! 😁
Sandy pony is the race horse of the donut game. Majestic, sleek, and fast down the back stretch. Id wager a 4 unit bet on a win place and show with each of their three locations. Giddy up you fancy pony....giddy up!
I discovered them while driving to work one morning and after having the Ms. Sandy, the Sand Dune and the Banana Coconut, I have fallen IN LOVE with this place. The donuts are made to order therefore they are warm and gooey when you get them. Nothing like them in the area...if you get the chance check them out!
Amazing melts in your mouth.
Wow...best donut experience Ive had in ages. Freshly prepared, these are not your average off the shelf donut. Wonderful experience. So glad I had some extra time this morning to check this joint out. If you like donuts...this place rocks!!
I saw the Sandy Pony Donut food truck and I knew I had to stop! I got a dozen donuts and they are ALL DELICIOUS! Such a wonderfully warm, sweet treat. I definitely will be going again, and spreading the word of these tasty donuts. :)
