This location is on the smaller side with patio seating outside. The selection of donuts is decent only in the morning and then they tend to run slim towards lunch. The coffee was okay and the wait for a break sandwhich isn't too long. I would come back if I was in the area, but otherwise would go to the other donut places farther east. read more

Nice location with plenty of parking spots. Donuts are always too good. A donut oasis in the west side. read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Outside/Parking lot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Stans was great when it arrived from Los Angles and now too big. Donuts are not fresh. $7 for two below average donuts. ?? Also this location. Two of the three napkin holders :empty. When u op shop in am ! Please refill the basics. That is how customers return ! And the place was not busy for early am. So this prompted a call to the store and I informed them that it's rare for us to never finish a donuts that felt like it was stale. The person that answered indicates they are baked @ the factory over night in Alsip. Well this Deliverly felt like it was Monday or Sunday's donuts. Just saying. read more

Ordered 2 dozen for work on a Wednesday and shout out to Mary - she was super professional and friendly - she just gave the positive vibes. Delicious donuts conveniently located at Mariano's without you having to go all through the market to get to Stan's. The team there kept things in the seating area tidy and bright! read more

The fat boy is back with another review. This morning I had a craving for some good donuts. My usual spot is closed on Sunday so I figured I try Stan's out. The donuts look really good in the pictures. I went early 6:48 am. It's a nice small place that smells absolutely amazing. Nice display of the fresh donuts. They sell 3 different varieties. The standard, specialties( old fashioned ) & the Dough-Boys. I got a half dozen. ( strawberry glazed, chocolate & vanilla glazed, pistachio/lemon old fashioned, blueberry old fashioned, Biscoff pocket & a blueberry pocket) all the donuts were a bit denser than donuts I'm used to. The two glazed were just ok maybe 5/10 maybe, the blueberry old fashioned taste like a sweeter version of a blueberry muffin not bad but not mind blowing either 5/10. Both pocket donuts were also meh both 4/10 My favorite was the pistachio/lemon old fashioned donut!! 7/10 flavor was packed with Lemon and pistachio. Nice crunchy edges. The service was also meh. 4/10. But when you get mediocre service then it saves you money from not tipping. Meh service =$0 tip. All in All this was enough for me NOT to return. 5/10 overall. Remember Yelpers: ALL REVIEWS ARE SUBJECTIVE! read more

I love a good Stan's Donut from time to time, so I decided to stop by this location for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. First off, it was hard to tell if the place was even open -- very dim and uninviting. Once inside, the atmosphere was gloomy, and to make matters worse, there were bugs throughout the shop, even around the donuts. I was instantly disgusted. I kindly turned around and walked right back out. Just nasty! read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Amazing Place With Chris being the GM (General manager) and today was a free cruffin with a purchase. Chris was wonderful! His concoction of cold brew was yummy with Soy milk and sugar. I'll definitely come back for the cruffins and cronuts and mini donuts. This location is right across from Peoria butchers and there is free parking right next to Stans donuts. We loved the vanilla (smooth and creamy) and raspberry (has real raspberry seeds outside of the jelly like filling) Crafton because there were so much filling and this is such a treat because most places have very little filling and I never ever go to them again after realizing they put a tiny of cream. But this is our style of eating with lots of stuff. You definitely feel like you get your money worth, and the taste of the filling was great. There is outdoor seating and no indoor seating and it's nice and air-conditioned inside the store. read more

Stan is the man. I believe this is a Chicago born and bred place and for classic style donuts, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better place. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10 Fairly typical appearance that you'd expect from a donut shop when you walk in. There's a counter top that separates you from shelves and shelves of that delectable sweet and fried tasty treat. SERVICE: 7/10 As expected. Staff had some good recommendations and were friendly. FOOD: 9/10 Nutella Banana Pocket - 9/10 - Concentrated goodness. This thing is DENSE, HEAVY, but most of all, it is delicious. Bananas and Nutella, already a match made in heaven wrapped up in nice donut with chocolate glaze. Win win. VALUE: 6/10 Their donuts are on the slightly expensive size compared to similar offerings, but the quality is made for here. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 10/10 I probably eat here more than I should. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Eat the donuts! OVERALL: 8/10 read more

This Stan's Donuts & Coffee sits on my run route headed downtown Chicago. Every time I run past it, I am always tempted to say the hell with the run and just go and have a donut instead. If I ended up doing that then I would have had to walk back towards the starting point of my run as a result of the indulgence. I knew that at some point I would give in and visit this location whether it be during or post completion of a run because it always catches my eye. While looking at their menu via Yelp, I noted that they had a plant-based sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich which built that interest to visit post completion of my run. So, via Yelp, I ordered their Plant-Based Sausage, Egg & Cheese Stanwich w/ a Iced Tea (Black Tea). I smirked prior to picking my order up while looking at the donuts because I knew that I was not leaving without purchasing one. If I were an emoji, I would have definitely been the emoji with hearts in replace of my eyes because those donuts had my interest. I ended up getting the Vegan Chocolate Donut because it is vegan, and the fact that I couldn't recall ever having vegan chocolate. The Plant-Based Sausage, Egg & Cheese Stanwich was sloppy! Or at least the egg portion of it, but overall, it was delicious! Now that I have discovered that Stan's has a plant-based sandwich option I am quite positive I will visit either of its locations in the city of Chicago for it again. And as for the Vegan Chocolate Donut, I had the biggest smirk on my face after taking each enjoyable bite of it. I had a pleasant ordering experience at this Stan's Donuts & Coffee location. And as stated in this review, I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again whenever in the area or at any other Stan's location throughout the city of Chicago. ~Blessings~ Thomas G read more

Hands down the worst donut/dessert place I have ever been to. As a donut lover, I am easily pleased by most donuts. I have never had a donut I did not like...until today. I ordered my favorite, Boston creme, and it was disgusting. The custard in the middle was sour, the donut tasted stale, and the chocolate on top was dark chocolate but also tasted stale. I had a few bites and threw it away. I probably got food poisoning...TBD. I also ordered the mango dragonfruit sipper and it looked aesthetically pleasing. The looks were the only thing it had going for it, as it was also disgusting- it tasted extremely artificial and the syrup was too strong. I had one sip and almost threw up. Overall horrible experience. Maybe I ordered the wrong items off of the menu or it's just this location, but I will definitely not be back. The staff member was friendly which is why i gave 1 star. The food deserved 0. read more

Great customer service. Everyone makes you feel welcome the minute you walk in. Service is fast. Donuts and coffee are amazing!

When I arrived in the West Loop of Chicago and saw a donut shop on the map called "Stan's Donuts" I knew I HAD to go because Stan is the name of my favorite dog! Stan's did not disappoint! I ordered breakfast sandwiches and an assorted dozen. The bill was somewhat expensive, but we enjoyed every bit of it! I have to say, I enjoyed the sandwiches more that the donuts, but why not get both?! I say, go here for the sandwiches and donuts, but skip the coffee. read more

Really fabulous! I received a surprise care package that included two gluten-free Stans donuts: blueberry with vanilla frosting (my absolute favorite) and a vanilla with dark chocolate frosting. They were packaged up individually, which I appreciated. So moist and delicious!! Thank you for offering wonderful gluten-free options!! read more

Let me start off my saying I will never turn down a donut. You just can't go wrong. This place impressed me though. You walk in and are quickly met by a wall of donuts! Yummmmm!!!! So many unique flavors to try. But the classics are also available to. I tried the coconut donut. It was moist and oh so very flavorful. The staff was friendly, the shop was clean and welcoming. I can't wait to visit again and try more flavors. read more

We are new to Chicago but had been to two other branches of Stan's, which I loved. Management--this West Loop branch needs your attention. Despite reading negative reviews I decided to take a chance. I ordered a Le Stan and an old-fashioned today and both tasted and felt like day-old donuts. No one should have to pay $4 a piece for a cold, tough donut. I will not go back. read more

Captain Crunch (Donut of the day) 7.1 $1.95 This donut of the day was a gimmick donut... that's all it was. Putting the name Captain Crunch on a donut is going to draw people in. It sure did with us . A simple glazed donut with a creme inside that resembled a Boston creme. Two nipples of cereal thrown on top to sell people on the name. "I got nipples Greg, could you milk me?" We were hoping for some Captain Crunch mixed up in the creme to give it that flavor it needed. A little disappointed with this donut given the name. Still overall a great tasting donut that majority wouldn't get to try. Still recommend Stan's! . Blueberry Fritter 9.3 $2.75 Day 4 of the Chicago Food Tour, 9th donut and 3rd time at Stan's . Saying we like donuts would be an understatement. We tried to switch it up this morning and try donut vault but unfortunately we got there too late and they sold out. Not always a good thing to be afternoon donut eaters but Stan's always delivers no matter what time of day and we love them for that. Being a big apple fritter fan and never having a blueberry fritter before made this a must try. Safe to say I'm now a big blueberry fritter fan. Highly recommended for all you Fritter fans out there!

Best Donuts I've ever had, def recommend this spot! They have a ton of different flavors, amazing milkshakes and great prices for specialty donuts. Not too bready, very unique, and just incredibly delicious. Personal favs are the original glazed cruller, orange donut, and cinnamon roll. Also the Oreo milkshake was heavenly! read more

Here in Chicago visiting in laws and so happened to see this place while at butcher shop on West Lake. It was extremely cold in there my country bones couldn't take it! I walked outside and Heaven Sent !! Stan's Donuts!! Appropriate location!! I needed something warm to warm me up and was suggested a Caramel Apple Latte. I also purchased 3 donuts. Glaze, old fashion, and chocolate dip old fashion. The glaze was really good. And the old fashion was very delicious a nice little crisp buttery smooth taste. I'm a major foodie. Next trip here I intend on making a special trip.. the tucked away spots are sometimes the best.. read more

Small little shop on West Lake St.. you'd never even know it was there!! Great way to avoid the crowds & no parking zones of the locations in the city. Nice selection of most of the donuts and these nuts are FRESH/ I think they bake 'em right here! Coffee bar to boot and there's usually nobody in there.. until the hipsters find out about it. -1 for the terse staff/ don't rush me lady!! Talk later PS- NO CASH ACCEPTED read more

From the places I have found in Chicago Stan's continues to top my list of best donuts (I will concede that there are SOOO many more great bakeries to check out though). This particular location is a small location, it is rarely busy, the selection is equally as plentiful and I've found myself here 3 times (with more on the horizon I am sure). It's specialty donuts, so you pay a price for these, but the dough is on point (both yeast and cake are truly well crafted), the fry is correct (no gloppiness in the middle and most def not dry or over browned). Their croissant donut is a bit of a let down, but otherwise I have been so happy with the choices. I am super impressed by anything with fruit (orange glaze, lemon pistachio, blueberry fritter OMFG), the bacon bar and the pretzel donuts are pretty banging as well. They are doing it right!! read more

Seems to be a production bakery for them but has a small storefront off Lake (set back from the street). Stopped in on my way to work today for a donut and was happy to see a huge selection but bummed they didn't have a plain chocolate cake donut with chocolate frosting. Isn't that just a standard flavor? Went with a chocolate frosted plain regular donut instead: frosting was good, donut was just okay. Still don't get what all the hype is about. P.S. As others have said, this is a cash free location. read more

Amazing donuts. Tried the vegan and standard version of the cinnamon sugar donuts and super impressed with the vegan version as it was just as good as the regular. Amazingly crispy, buttery, and fresh. read more

Don't waste your time, if you place the order 24 hours in advance and expect your items to be ready- guess what? They sell your order to someone else. It gets better, they don't know how to give you a refund... come back in 3 to 5 days to get a refund. What a beauty that experience was.. You're better off going to a gas station and buying donuts off the rack. read more

Came here for some donuts. Got a couple, you go to the display first to pick out your donuts before you check out. Decor is very cute and they also have a hot food section which we did not try. My favorite by far was the biscoff donut, extremely delicious and one of their specialities. The other ones I was not as impressed with. I think I got an old fashioned, which was way too dry, and a lavendar lemon one which just tasted like lemon and was also dry. I think they just struggle with having very dry doughnuts besides the biscoff one. They're still find as donuts but definitely not my preference in terms of texture. Also some of them crumbled very hard so it got a little messy to eat. read more

The donuts are always great here, especially their gluten-less ones if you have a gluten allergy. They tend to sell out of those some days, though, so get there early if you need to grab one. Didn't have the best experience at this location as far as coffee goes. Ordered a latte, and could barely taste any espresso in it. Seemed more like hot steamed milk to me. Had to add brewed coffee to it to try to salvage it and add some caffeine to my morning. Otherwise, Stan's has always been a favorite. May just stick to the donuts from now on, though. Also, just a heads up that this Stan's location doesn't accept cash! read more

Hard to find, worth the effort. The entrance is obscured by an adjacent industrial loading dock but don't let that discourage you. The store is SPOTLESS, service is top notch, and the variety of doughnut choices is outstanding. Keep up the the hard work, it is paying off! read more

Being an avid supporter of west loop businesses, I was completely shocked when met with consistent disrespect and attitude when visiting Stans Donuts on Lake. Being a business owner myself, I would never allow my employees to scream and curse at costumers. This all began when I was inquiring about certain ingredients in the donuts, but Jennifer seemed to have a little to no patience. I was surprised being as this is a family friendly business. I was disappointed and will not be returning to Stans on Lake. read more

I like Stan's and their donuts taste great, but this location specifically is an abomination. I went last weekend and the donut case was FULL of flies.
