    Biscoff Pocket in the background was delicious. Buttercream Bismark front left and Vanilla Glazed Cruller the other 3 in front.

    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!

    Donuts... they are amazing!
    Darcy W.

    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!

    Look, milkshakes come topped with a mini donut!

    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.

    Very cool place. Apparently, it's the largest Starbucks in the world at 35,000 square feet. Five…read morestories but the fifth floor terrace was closed for renovation when we went. Go before 10 AM; otherwise, you'll be lining up for stuff. The first floor is merch, second floor food and coffee, third floor coffee experiences, and fourth floor the bar. I made a beeline to the second floor for some unique baked goodies such as the strawberry matcha financier and the hashbrown egg cup. So good! Love what they've done with the space. It just screams treehouse vibes and you can feel free to move around to different floors to look for seating. We ended up on fourth floor and tried out their cocktail flight (ube martini, matcha margarita, espresso martini,). Definitely something you can't get at a regular Starbucks. Definitely happy we started our day here!

They had multiple levels but they looked to all be serving the same pastries and limited drink menu. I understand you could have booked an option to do a tour and join a mixology class if you like those. I preferred the sugar croissant over the chocolate hazelnut croissant but both yummy. I would say the prices were fair with bakery prices nothing to outrageous. The difference - this is definitely different from your normal Starbucks in regards to the food and some drinks. They don't have a full drink menu like your typical neighborhood one and they have more gourmet food options. Overall it was a pleasant experience, can check this off my list of things to see.

There were a few seats inside that the rear of my family sat down at while I waited in line to order. The little cafe was so aesthetically pleasing and had so many different things to look at while waiting. As a speciality latte, they had featured a salted honey cold foam latte. I decided to try that iced and it was amazing. My husband got the vanilla latte and didn't like it as much, it was pretty watery and didn't have much flavor neither coffee nor vanilla. The rest of the store did open at 10, so we "shopped" around a little while sipping our coffees. When we went to leave the line was wrapped around the outside of the building. Would definitely recommend getting there early if you go on the weekend.

    On a recent work trip to Chicago, I had the chance to experience all of Eataly's offerings. During…read moremy first visit, I picked up some sweet treats to enjoy after dinner. First, I explored the endless snack aisles and selected a bag of chocolate-hazelnut biscuits to take home. I couldn't resist the gelato and tried the pistachio flavor (yum!) On my next visit to Eataly a couple of days later, I ordered a cappuccino, and while my beverage took a long time to prepare, the espresso tasted very high quality. The pastries looked stunning and decadent, and I imagine they'd pair wonderfully with espresso if you have time to linger at the cafe (I was in a hurry to get to a work meeting). The next day, my team and I visited Eataly's restaurant for lunch. I selected the anchovy toast as my starter and the gnocchi for my main as part of the lunch special. The toast consisted of two slices of sourdough bread topped with creamy lemon spread and anchovies. The contrast of the bright lemon flavor with the ultra-salty anchovies was tempered by the creamy butter - these all paired together quite well. The gnocchi, on the other hand, was underwhelming. The gnocchi was much too soft (it had the texture of mashed potatoes), and the red sauce was bland. All in all, visiting Eataly was a cool way to experience gourmet Italian food.

    We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.
