Another Michigan avenue staple that was packed on a Sunday morning with locals and tourists it seems. Be prepared to wait if you come during a busy time. All in all though waited 15-20 min for the coffee's while the crazy awesome donuts (Dough Boy Best & LeStan Croissant). Overall great start to our 17,000 step day as we needed the sugar & carbs to power us until lunch. read more

Hmmmmm Stan's didn't really meet my expectations. The donuts looked really appealing, but they did not taste good. Coffee was ok. For the price, the donut should actually be filled correctly. The donut I got was only stuffed halfway! The chocolate glaze was too thick. Service - oh, let me just call them out as genZ. Absolutely no fake smiles here. Just dead pan. read more

Must say for being as packed as they were it was pretty quick. Couple of rude employees but I brushed them off due to the nice ones. Donuts were way to sweet that'll work for some but for me it was like eating a box sugar. Iced coffee was pretty good much better than a Starbucks or Coffee Bean Iced coffee. The breakfast options were top notch. read more

Stan's is a cute donut and coffee shop and the drinks all look really good! I was given a sample of a new refresher and I honestly wish I would've order that instead of the coffee. We got both the hot and ice version of the same drink and it was just ok. I've had better coffee and other places and at a better price. read more

On our way to The Cloud, my friends and I dropped by Stan's for a quick little pick me up. I had seen so much hype about the place on Tiktok and was really excited to check them out. I ended up getting a chocolate old fashioned and matcha latte sweetened. The store itself is super cute and had so many options for donuts, I wanted to order it all but just opted for one. The team here was really friendly. When they called me for my drink order, it was a chai but they were able to fix that right away. My matcha was so smooth and perfectly sweetened, not too much since I was already eating a donut. The matcha gave me the much needed energy boost and the shop kept us warm because it was definitely cold outside. 1000% recommend checking out Stan's everyone is so nice and the food and drinks are great and exactly what you need. read more

Great stop for donuts! Lots of flavor options and soft and pillowy! Tried the brown butter donut- it reminded me of the Harry Potter butterbeer. Kind of a mix of caramel and butter. Very good! Would recommend! read more

Stopped here on the way to the bean! The staff was really friendly and they even offered samples which was really nice. I got 3 of the mini carrot cake donuts- I wish I had mixed and matched and gotten other ones but I didn't realize that until it was a little too late. The carrot cake donuts was delicious though! I wouldn't expect the full flavor of carrot cake, but some of the flavors do get highlighted (cream cheese frosting, cinnamon, ginger). I liked the mini size as it was perfect to eat while walking around! The store itself has a cozy cafe vibe with plenty of outdoor seating. read more

This location of Stan's was pretty busy in the morning, but the line moved fast. There are so many donut options to choose from that I was a bit indecisive. So many great options! I decided on the brown butter glaze, which was a great choice. It had just the right amount of sweetness! read more

Bright and cheerful music plays as you walk in but there's also outdoor seating available. There's selections of donuts and some savory pastry. The old fashion pistachio lemon donut I was very excited to try and it exceeded my expectations! The lemon enhances the pistachio flavor and the old fashion texture was perfect I love that their chai is also on the more spicy than sweet side too read more

We got 3 doughnuts and all were mediocre at best. We got a lemon pistachio old fashioned, glazed, and a carrot. My wife's regular coffee was just average. I got a specialty iced drink that didn't taste that good, but more importantly they asked for my name and said it would be ready shortly. Ten minutes later after not getting my drink I have to go ask about it(which I hate doing) and she was confused about what drink I was talking about and then they checked and made it and a minute or two it was ready...they forgot about it and nobody apologized...not good. read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Mediocre at best - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Coffee was my main reason for visiting Stan's, so I didn't try any of their donuts. The coffee, though! I got an Americano, which was very smooth and not at all bitter. Americanos are not my preferred coffee order (I like a black drip coffee), but I didn't see that as an option when I ordered. Speaking of ordering: You order at a kiosk. There were zero people at Stan's when I visited, and the people behind the counter were just looking at me as I put my order into the touchscreen, so it felt kind of silly to be ordering via kiosk. It's like, can we just cut out the middle-man, and I order directly from y'all instead of you just standing there looking at me? But I didn't want to disrupt the system, so I just placed my order on the kiosk and waited for my Americano. My order came out quickly, and my coffee was delicious and not too hot. This Stan's Donuts & Coffee is located in a food hall near Millennium Park. For the life of me, I can't remember or find the name of the food hall, but when I do, I will update this review. read more

After one bite I understand why the shop was so crowded! Really tasty donuts and lots of fun and unique flavor options. We went around breakfast and it was crowded but the staff was great and the line moved quickly! The Croissant donut was delicious but the Pistachio Lemon Old Fashioned was out of this world amazing! It made a great quick breakfast treat but honestly doubts are good all day long! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Chicago! read more

Biscoff Pocket! Order it now! Don't finish reading this review, just place your order, I promise you'll have no regrets! Service was fast and friendly.

First time in Chicago and I was only there because of a layover. Me and my boyfriend had a sweet tooth after our lunch we had. We ended up stumbling across Stan's Donuts and loved the outside of the building. We went inside and we could tell it must have been a staple because almost all of the donuts were gone. There wasn't must of a selection because they ran out of a lot of the donuts. We ended up getting like two donuts but honestly weren't too impressed with them. Service was good and I will try to come again to give a better rating. read more

Tourist TRAP!!!!!! Overpriced and very basic. Definitely day old and that blueberry is disgusting

Stoped by during my Chicago trip, I loved the strawberry matcha and came back twice before heading back home. The line was long so it is quite a wait but worth it for the drink.

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Iced Strawberry & Creme* Oat Matcha - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This spot near Millennium Park was a great place to stop in for a quick treat and a coffee. I loved that you can order on a kiosk, because the donut ordering process seemed a little chaotic and noisy. I got the banana chocolate lightning and a Boston cream donut, and Nate got a cold brew with sweet cream and a cinnamon sugar donut. The space isn't huge, but they have some tables as well as a pretty decent-sized patio out front. They called out our name when our items were ready. The banana chocolate lightning was pretty sweet and didn't have as much banana flavor as I was thinking it might, but it was definitely a fun treat. We actually ended up mixing the two drinks together halfway through, which worked out nicely to kind of balance them out. The donuts were fresh and they have plenty of options to choose from. The bathroom is unlocked via an employee button behind the counter, so if you can't get in, be sure to ask. read more

This was my first meal after my red eye flight. I saw this was a local chain, and we needed something quick before our busy day of sightseeing, so why not? This chain is definitely known for their donuts. They had so many options, from classic flavors like glazed to more unique options. We tried the brown sugar donut and the glazed. The glazed was good, but it is what you expect, whereas the brown sugar one was something I will definitely crave later. They also offer breakfast sandwiches and we got one with bacon and another with sausage. Both were great breakfast sandwiches and came out warm. The spinach and feta pastry we got was also a great breakfast option. Maybe this is because I come from a huge coffee hub, but I thought the coffee tasted watered down. Both the latte and americano we got lacked a strong coffee taste, and the syrups were nothing special. So, I would skip on the coffee and get it elsewhere. I would still give this a 4/5 since the food was excellent as a fast food option! read more

Visiting Stan's Donuts & Coffee was absolutely worth the hassle of getting there. As a non-local, what I thought would be a quick walk ended up turning into an Uber ride--but the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile that made it all worthwhile. The staff were charming and sweet, which set the tone for my visit. I had read some reviews beforehand, and I'm happy to say the donuts lived up to the hype! I went with the classic glaze and the birthday cake--both were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. I also tried the chicken quesadilla, which had just the right amount of spice to balance out the sweetness of the donuts. Of course, I couldn't leave without a coffee, so I ordered a vanilla iced latte. It was smooth and perfectly crafted, the kind of drink you can sip while people-watching from the window. Fun moment: while sitting by the window, I noticed an ad for Labriola Pizza--guess where I ended up for dinner later that night? Great marketing, because I was sold right then and there. Overall, Stan's Donuts is a must-visit if you're in Chicago. I'll definitely be back on my next trip! read more

Stan's is a staple Chicago chain. This one is a busier location because it's close to the bean but we didn't have any issues on a Saturday morning in the middle of January. The service was quick and organized everyone had a station. It was also a clean spot even in a busy location. The Americano was super hot but good. The crossiant donut was super moist and the custard wasn't over powering and I'm not a custard person but I liked this. This is a good stop for commercial chain donuts that is central to Chicago read more

With such a cute ambiance, I would have thought the donuts would have been tastier! I got the brown butter donut and a drink. The donut itself was very dense and on the sweeter side. The drink itself was refreshing, but had more than half the cup filled with ice... Service was pretty friendly. They have the order kiosk, but it doesn't include all the items that are actually available. For example, items that are sold out on the order kiosk were actually available to order at the counter. read more

The donuts are huge and they taste amazing. This was my number one stop in Chicago for a good dessert. I literally wanted all of them. It's so hard to choose. read more

Food- famous for doughnuts, they were okay. I had the cinnamon roll and the plain classic. Service is a little rude if you ask a few extra questions with respect to doubts on coffee! The ambience and atmosphere is quirky, cute and pink! We had Stan's coffee (medium roast) and a mocha, both chilled- we did ask if the Stans coffee comes with milk and then what is the specialty? No specific answer but affirmative that it includes milk. There wasn't any. read more

I've been enjoying Stan's Donuts for a few years now. Whenever I'm in the city and in the mood for a donut, Stan's is a good place to stop by. I like this Michigan Ave location due to its proximity to Millennium Park. My daughter runs in quite a few races, so it's a nice place for me to enjoy a donut and coffee. My personal favorite is the lemon pistachio old fashion. It is cloyingly sweet and very satisfying when you need a hit of sugar. :) It is crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The flavor combo of lemon and pistachio is perfect. It tends to be one of the flavors that run out so if you want to try it, go earlier in the day! At 7 am on a Sunday morning, service was great! The staff were very friendly and efficient. The only downfall of this location is the seating is somewhat limited. read more

Stan's Donuts is by far my favorite donut spot -- no questions asked. I could honestly list half the menu as my favorites. The Nutella Pocket? Amazing. The Nutella & Banana? Perfect combo. The Toffee Cake is my personal obsession. The PJ Pocket is incredible. Even their "basic" flavors, like the Red Velvet, are next‑level. And don't even get me started on the croissant donut... unreal. Service is always great, though there's usually a line -- but honestly, that's just proof everyone else loves it as much as I do. The shop itself is super cute, too, which makes the whole experience even better. I love them all. Truly one of the best donut spots around. read more

Firstly, the service was great both times I went! The staff were attentive and quick. I got the matcha latte with almond milk both times and was perfect. Not too sweet, just right. It's a cute stall in a food hall with lots of variety. Glad I could support locally. read more

Closer to 3.75. Saw someone on our shuttle eating these the other day and they looked good. I arrived closer to dinner time and they obviously wouldn't have as much of a selection as earlier in the day. I picked a blueberry old fashioned cake donut. I also bought an apple fritter for breakfast the next day. I wasn't a fan of the blueberry donut. I think it was the icing. The texture and freshness of the donut was good, just didn't enjoy the flavor. Today I had the apple fritter for breakfast. It held up pretty well just sitting in the bag overnight. It was a pretty decent fritter. I would like to see their selection in the morning. read more

What can I say....who doesnt like donuts!

Thank you guys! read more
