Cute and not busy for a Stan location
N S.

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.

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!

Each doughnut that we tried. The Pistachio/Lemon is missing because I ate it. The Biscoff was already discarded to the trash.

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!

absolutely delicious visited during my chicago trip and it was so delicious! the donuts were beyond delicious don't know if i can settle with dunkin' anymore!

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

Free parking

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.

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

Mango Dragon Fruit Sipper

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.

Stopped here one morning while in Chicago on vacation and coffee was good donuts were better.

Many thanks to the Stan's Donut team. I appreciate the prompt response as well as listening to me as I expounded on my experience.

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.

Biscoff Banana Pocket

Love their donuts, hate their service. I live next door and every time I go in they seem genuinely annoyed that a customer walked in. Donuts are great though and they have some really yummy fall drinks.

Walked in and immediately greeted with the smell of donuts, yum!…read more We asked for donut recs and got one of each of their most famous flavors: vanilla bean glazed and old fashioned. Both were delish! The glazed donut was fluffy, sweet and my fave. My husband loved his old fashioned donut! He said it was crunchy yet moist. We also both got the Hot N' Spicy chicken sandwich which was so good!! Flavorful and spicy, with toppings that helped add some freshness to it. Pair it with a soft brioche bun, and this sandwich was heavenly! Def check this spot out for breakfast! One of the best places we tried while in Chicago!

Pulled up just before 6:30 AM on a weekday and there were just a few folks ahead of us in line, but service is quick. Cake donuts were actually pretty solid here; the Blueberry Cake Donut was the best item, super soft and moist with a good amount of berries throughout. The Pistachio Cake Donut for some reason was texturally firmer and drier than the other. Unfortunately, the fried donuts were all misses. The dough was just really dense and none of the toppings really hit. The Glazed Donut just made me sad that the dough was bad and the bacon on the Maple Bacon Donut wasn't crispy, so you got a cold, chewy, greasy bite that wasn't super pleasant. The chopped dough pieces in the Apple Fritter were also oddly firm instead of soft. For a place with rave reviews, I was pretty bummed by the donuts, but maybe the fried chicken sandwich is where it's at.

While strolling in the West Loop on my way to pick a different unhealthy bite I stumbled across…read moreVoodoo Doughnut. It's been well over a decade since trying for the first time in Seattle. Tbh I remember being disappointed because of the hype. Today I entered with tempered expectations. I tried the Old Fashioned doughnut and it was somewhere between solid and above average. I'll definitely stick with Do-Rite especially because they're a few blocks away and significantly better. If the job catered Voodoo I'd indulge, but considering I prefer a few other donut shops I won't make a special trip. Great service plus a respectable donut equals 3.51 stars.

I discovered this place over a decade ago in Portland OR. I am really excited when they decided to…read moreopen a location in Chicago. The donuts are amazing, unique and fun. It also doesn't hurt that they are open from 6am to Midnight - perfect for those sudden doughnut cravings! One thing that can be improved is how they handle big orders. I recently ordered over 5 dozen doughnuts and it came in 6 boxes and a small bag. First problem: they don't deliver. Second and bigger problem is that they don't pack big orders so you can carry them out. How the heck am I going to carry 6 boxes and a bag of donuts??? Maybe they want to keep their business "small". A simple brown bag or even something to tie the boxes together would have been very helpful.

Yes. This place really looks like this! Everything seriously looks like paper. Or, as if you've…read morestepped into doodlebob world if you're a Spongebob fan (IYKYK). It's pretty small inside, with maybe no more than 10 tables. When I came there was a large party taking up majority of the dining room, leaving about 4 tables left. We didn't have reservations, but I believe they take them. Luckily we were seated right away without any issues. They are known for their Asian cuisine. Think Taiwanese fried chicken sandwiches, Japanese mochi donuts, ube, vietnamese coffee, etc. What I tried: - Mochi donuts (1 strawberry, 1 chocolate) ; so fresh! 10/10 - Strawberry/peach lemonade boba; Extremely sweet, but good! Staff was super kind from start to finish. The only downside (which is big) - it is pretty dirty around the restaurant. With all the white, you can unfortunately spot things quicker. A deep clean would do the trick!

However, it wasn't the cleanest but we were still willing to give it a try. When we arrived, the hostess/waitress asked if we had a reservation and I told her no but there were literally only 2 tables being occupied at the time, so she had us wait until she cleared another table. The menu gave a hibachi vibe, they had teriyaki bowls, unwich sushi rolls, soup, and specialty drinks but no fountain or canned drinks. I wanted the salmon and everyone else was getting chicken but that didn't happen because they were out of salmon. Really wasn't feeling the other options, so we canceled our order and left. I would definitely give the place another try but maybe earlier in the day and a different location.
