"**Pros:** There are plenty of options to choose from, and we even tried their special feature of the day donut. The raspberry and strawberry filled donut was a full-sized treat! I was surprised to find that Sandy Pony offers mini donuts, which was not what I was expecting. At Mr. Whippy, though, the donuts were definitely regular-sized. They were light and fluffy—somewhere between Krispy Kreme and Dunkin'. Personally, I prefer Krispy Kreme, as I find Dunkin' to be a bit too doughy. Mr. Whippy strikes a nice balance, and if I can't get fresh Krispy Kreme, Mr. Whippy does a great job of satisfying my donut cravings!
**Cons:** My only minor critique would be that the icing could be a little more refined. While it was quite good, a glaze-like icing would have really elevated the experience!
**Overall:** If you're on the hunt for a delicious morning donut or a tasty dessert, Mr. Whippy is the place to be on Chincoteague Island. They only accept cash, but there’s an ATM inside, which is convenient. On the other hand, Sandy Pony Donuts was a bit underwhelming—small, slightly overpriced, and somewhat greasy. I found their donuts to be something I could easily make at home for much less. I was really looking forward to trying the Speck Donut, but it was disappointing, as it felt like there was more donut than bacon.
In my opinion, if I had to pick a donut destination on Chincoteague, it would definitely be Mr. Whippy! I didn’t get a chance to try the ice cream, but that will be on my agenda for my next visit to the island!"
