Third stop downtown on the Chicago donut tour. I've been to Stans a couple of times and they do alright. Here are my thoughts: 1: They have some creative specialty donuts. 2. Not my go to for a solid glazed donut. 3. The biscotti pocket was huge and tasted great. 4. The vanilla glazed cruller was okay, but not a fan of crullers in general as well as the buttercream bismark. Lots of space on the inside to sit and enjoy. They also offer a selection of food, drinks, snacks, and gelato.
This place has it all! Donuts, WiFi, bathrooms, coffee, oh my! Why do you need to go to the 'bucks! Maybe power? Tho I wasn't looking for outlets. I was too busy licking the crème from the awesome donut. Or if you want a healthy option, they have peanut butter doughnuts too! Wait... is it doughnuts or donuts? Thanks Siri. You create more questions than you have answers for them! I almost forgot! They have more seating than that coffee shop across the street. Check 'em out! Solid A
Ordered via DoorDash pickup here on a Saturday morning. Located 2 blocks from our hotel, it was an easy walk. So to speak. Ordered a 6 pack - blueberry, lemon-pistachio, carrot cake, red velvet, birthday cake, and buttercream filled. All the donuts were great - blueberry and cream filled my two favorites. But above that, upon pickup, the guy working Saturday morning was very friendly. Appreciated it.
We came to Stan's twice during our short weekend in magnificent mile. The donuts were amazing. We had coffee, and the following donuts: the Boston crème, apple fritter, buttercream Bismark, and an old fashion. I recommend this cute spot if you're ever passing through!
It seems difficult to believe that Stan's Donuts & Coffee debuted in Chicago over a decade ago, but now with myriad locations spanning from Millennium Park to Oak Brook the brand from Westwood Village is seemingly trying to compete with Dunkin for Windy City Breakfast business. Already having visited the 181 North Michigan Avenue flagship, that at 535 far smaller as an addition to Labriola on the Grand Avenue overpass, guests can still expect to find a full array of sweets like faultless Carrot Cake alongside odd new additions like Quesadillas and Frappes. Certainly not the cheapest of Donut Shops, "Standards" beginning at $1.95 and choices topping out with Stan's spin on Ansel's Cronut, "Mini" versions of Cake Rings prove comparable to the full-size versions while the Fritter and Cruller each seemed a bit more oily than prior.
There are quite a few Stan's in the area, but this one was quiet, quick service and with some seating if one wanted to stay in. We started off with a responsible breakfast with the pretzel sandwich with egg, which made for a tasty and filling breakfast. Then onto dessert breakfast! The toffee cake donut was sweet and crunchy. The buttercream bismark was filled with creamy goodness. They had a large array of donuts, so there is something for every sweet tooth. I love the vintage feel of the Stan's branding. Luckily when we went it wasn't busy, but there was only one staff person preparing everything. Be careful indulging too much, but the donuts are delicious and unique.
There are multiple locations of Stan's donuts throughout the downtown area, I don't suggest going to this one...especially during peak morning hours. This Stan's is attached to an Italian restaurant which causes this place to be super small and compact. Barely any seating so it's more of a grab n go kinda spot. One star for having cute St Patrick's day donuts. One star for the relatively friendly male cashier. Go to a different location if you want somewhere to sit and enjoy your food and drinks.
First time I've tired Stan's donuts in Chicago and I must say that it's a must try! The dough that they use to make the donut is almost flaky and croissant like. I usually don't like stuffed donuts but this was amazing. The donut was stuffed perfectly all around. I got to try the biscoff cookie filled donut and it was basically biscoff cookie paste in a donut! I also tried the Nutella filled donut and it's like the description says def filled with lots of Nutella! I will say the donuts are a bit sweet but pair perfectly with their coffee. Their cold brew/coffee has no sour after taste which I love,
I love Stan's Donuts when I visited Chicago last time. I obviously didnt get a chance to have all their donut options but I did try their PB&J and their Chocolate flavor ones and I enjoy them very much. The donuts are heavy and dense so i had to eat it over several settings and i think they are great for sharing. Would definitely return to try other flavors!
Yes, yes and more yes!! These donuts are worth every single calorie! When you are sick of Starbucks and want to try something new and fresh this is your place. We also tried the breakfast sandwich which was also delicious . When I'm in Chicago sorry Starbucks we are officially broken up!
I've been to multiple stands donut locations around the city, and this one is always my favorite. Something about it is just so cute and charming. Definitely much quieter than the one on MI Ave in the loop or the one closer to Gold Coast or even the one in Streeterville. Came here on Christmas Eve to get our Christmas donuts and the guy working was so patient and kind as we picked our donuts. I was very happy. They were fully stocked with my favorites, the buttercream Bismarck, and the Biscoff pocket. Stopped in today on a whim was really craving bacon and asked if they sold it just bacon by itself . Shout out to the young girl who was so kind and said that she would make it happen for me. The bacon came out piping hot & was delicious!!! I ran out before I could buy any donuts, a first for me!
Best donuts in Chi-town dare I say, others have voted the same (Thrillist and in Chicago's Best lists). The made from scratch donut variety here is amazing. Traditional glazed, strawberry, and apple fritters are on display but they also have specialty donuts -- like the pretzel donut, dough boys best, peanut butter pocket and a fantastic cherry topped cherry cream filling. I was on the longest sugar high after visiting. The roasted coffee was also a stand out. So many flavors to choose from, it was hard to choose just one! Even my kids needed a moment. I've never seen them so strategic in trying to order. We opted for the PB&J donut, the cherry topped glazed cherry cream donut and the red velvet donut. The size of these donuts do not disappoint, totally shareable. The thickness alone makes this donut shop a standout place. Wish we could've sat down for a meal as well. There were traditional bacon, egg and cheese Sammie's as well as grilled cheese Sammie's. This location shared the space of a neighboring Italian restaurant so seating was limited to about a few tables. But if you're patient, it is a short wait. Complimentary water available on the counter for those who need a refresher. We loved our first visit so much, we just had to stop in one more time before heading for the airport. Strawberry was the choice. So good, it's a Classic. Stan's is a must try in Chicago! Several locations around the Loop, so pick one!
I'm a sucker for a good donut and I'd read that Stan's was the place to get one in Chicago. They have a great assortment of donuts and I chose one of my favorites: a Boston cream. I also got a side of hash browns because I love having something salty with something sweet. Both were great and I'd love to come back on a future Chicago trip.
I stopped into Stan's Donuts & Coffee while walking around Chicago and immediately understood why there was a line the entire time I was there. The whole place smelled absolutely amazing the second I walked in. Since I was just ordering coffee, which I fully regret not getting a donut. I used the kiosk and my order came out quickly. I went with the brown butter latte, and it was super yummy with a flavor that stood out from a standard latte. read more
The coffee is absolutely delicious, the pretzel bagel is a must-try, and they have such unique and creative donut flavors. Everything tastes fresh and high quality. Definitely a go-to spot when you're craving something sweet (or savory) with great coffee to match. read more

Who goes to Stan's and doesn't get a donut? This girl right here lol. I got a breakfast sandwich and 2 cold brews - the sandwiches were pretty solid! Stan's is not my first choice for a breakfast sandwich however I appreciate that they actually have them This is a cute spot off of Michigan Ave that offers online ordering. Hubs and I were in a rush so we ordered online for pick up and everything went smoothly. The estimated pick up time was accurate and the staff was friendly when we got there. I regret not getting a donut, but it's fine! I'll just have to go back soon read more
Stans is serving up cake style donuts, the best! This store is on the side of an Italian restaurant just off of Michigan Ave. 1 donut will run you a little over $3. They also serve coffees, espresso, etc. Would go out of my way for these donuts which you can only find in the Midwest. read more

I just left lunch and had to stop at Stan's because my BTS bias stopped in. I got a coffee and mini donuts. I love a cake donut and they didn't disappoint ! The group next to me was actually on a donut shop walking tour and Stan's Donuts is included! My coffee and mini donuts were on point, not too sweet. It has shakes, gelato, donuts, stanwiches, hot chocolate and coffee! I asked the table next to me how their grilled cheese was and they said the bread was perfect, cheese well melted..not greasy and taste is delicious! It's nice inexpensive stop, not a lot of seating and it's next to an Italian restaurant with wine! read more
Great donuts to have after walking around tons in the sun and Chicago downtown area. The filling inside Boston Cream was really creamy and the chocolate coating outside does go very well with the donut overall. There were limited seatings in the store but we were able to get one and sit down to enjoy our donuts. Lots of traffic coming in and out of the store but most of the people coming in were getting the donuts and eating as they go. Good service, good donut, good place to take a break for a while if in the area! read more
Ong these donuts are fresh and light and delicious. Unlike others they do not sit as a lump on your stomach . We tried the sugar cinnamon cream filled square one and between loads of delicious vanilla cream and flaky pastry we thought we were in heaven great coffee and friendly service make this breakfast stop a must. read more
Wonderful donuts (and more). This was a great little donut shop a few blocks from my hotel downtown, and it hit the breakfast craving I desperately wanted. The line was a little long, and well, it made sense. They are selling addictive donuts here! Service came with a smile, and was fast! Peanut butter filled donuts was magnificent, if not a bit much...but only because I'd already eaten the pączki. Get them both, but maybe share them. Store was cute inside. read more

Enjoyed a taste of Stan's Donuts when it was almost closing time. After dinner sometimes you want to enjoy something sweet. So we decided to come here and grab a box of different donuts. The variety was a little slim since they were almost closing but still had some options for sure. Got six donuts and each one was a different flavor and style. Some had sprinkles on them and different frosting and even some had filled in the middle. Overall I think we did enjoy a variety of different ones. Eat them when you get them because if you wait the next day they might not taste the same. read more
A must eat while in Chicago!!!! Donut prices vary by the colored label, pink, green, white. Ordered the biscoff pocket and nutella pocket donuts and barely any filling!! :(( and these were the post expensive. The real show stopper is the Apple fritter soo yummy. And the Lemon cronut!! So fresh and loaded with lemon. Get a few different donuts to try and you wont be disappointed. Shop is in a hidden corner, just keep walking and youll see the door. read more
Cute (almost hidden) donut shop right off Michigan avenue next to la briola. Just keep looking for the pink door/donuts. We came in for a quick birthday cake donut (my daughter's favorite) and I got a match chai which was so good! It's sweetened so just be aware. Overall quick service, good experience and consistent food. We usually go to the Stan's next to the hospital but it was nice to visit this location too. read more

Walking around downtown Chicago can make you work up an appetite. We decided to stop here for sugary treat. I decided to try my first square donut! It was delicious. I washed down my donut with a iced cold coffee. All in all it was a good experience. read more

Got glutened by this place. Lady working didn't know the difference between a blueberry gluten-less and a blueberry old fashioned. It was my first time there and I didn't know better either until it was too late and consumed. Just watch and make sure these people actually know what they are serving you and do a little research on what you should expect if you have an allergy or you'll end up sick all night! read more
