We went here for the luck of the bite.First tasters event. We tasted the new donuts and drinks that Stan's is offering for Saint Patrick's day this year. We went to the doors marked 750 North Rush Street and they were locked. Stan's is actually a little farther north, almost on the corner of Rush and Chicago. That's location is very clean, the doughnuts are fresh, and the employees are really nice. They have the cutest seating area with lots of space in between tables. We would definitely stop in here again when we're in the area. read more

REALLY Busy place. packed with people on a Saturday morning. The donuts look delicious! I didn't try the crounuts they are known for but opted for the mini donuts instead. I tried the birthday cake and old fashioned donuts. They were OK. I'm not sure what the hype is, but again I did not try thier signature donuts so this could be why. Glad I tried them, but not sure i need ro come back. read more

Fun donut flavors The "cake" on the donuts is great The only down side was my person preference of needing more apples. read more

My kids love the donuts and I enjoy all the fun and unique flavors, as well as gluten less options! I've tried several coffee beverages and they are just okay. Breakfast sandwiches are decent and pretty big. The eggs taste like fresh scrambled instead of a frozen patty. The rewards program adds up pretty quickly for free items too. They initially forgot my cold foam on my drink and gave me one wrong donut, but they were pretty busy. read more

Came to the famous Stan's Donuts here in Chicago. This is an adorable, and pink restaurant that is fun and lively with an amazing selection of donuts and coffee. The donuts are so appetizing to look at and even better to eat! I wish they had more "filled" options, but I can't complain, they were still delicious. The coffee was fantastic. This is far superior to dunkin and krispy kreme. If you are in Chicago, get over here. read more

We stopped by after lunch this week and truthfully I was nervous about the experience because sometimes when you have a business in a touristy area, you get crappy service. That was not the case here. We stopped in for 1/2 dozen donuts and an extra one for our dentist friend. The service was amazing and helpful. I didn't feel pressured to hurry with my choices nor rushed at all. The interior was clean and the staff were friendly. I'm beyond glad we stopped in! read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place while visiting Chicago and noticed how many people were sitting inside and the donuts caught my eye immediately! So I'm usually not a "donut" girl but there was something about all the pink in there that made me curious to go inside. Unsure of what to order, I was suggested by the guy working at the counter to try their signature donut which was a sugar glaze layered croissant donut stuffed with cream cheese icing. WOW...first bite and the cream cheese icing bursts in my mouth! Sugar spilled all over my clothes but that didn't stop me from eating this AMAZING donut. Now I can see why this place is packed! read more

I've been thinking about doughnuts lately; it has been a while since I had a good one. You know, a good yeast doughnut that is thick, tender, and toothsome. So that was probably why I was telling my sister I wanted a Chicago doughnut on our way to Riverwalk. And as if conjured up by my longings, Stan's Donuts appeared as we turned the corner. A line was already forming as we entered. While I wanted to sample many of the gems in the glass case (fritters, jelly, chocolate-covered), I knew we were having deep-dish pizza for lunch and did not want to be too full. In the end, I went with the cruffin and the PB&J. I enjoyed my little treat by one of the large windows, in one of the cute PINK leather armchairs. I loved the decor here, especially the PINK seating throughout the space. The cruffin, a porte-manteau for a doughnut made of laminated dough and baked in a muffin tin, was fresh and flaky. I liked the vanilla pastry cream piped throughout and the crunchy cinnamon sugar topping. Mindful of lunch, I only had half of the cruffin and decided to save the other doughnut for breakfast the next day. Service was slower than I would have liked. I can never understand why people can't decide while in line and instead hold everyone else up. read more

This was my first visit to Stan's. I was walking around and passed multiple Stan's locations. I popped in and ordered a vanilla glazed cruller and a hot tea at the North Rush Street location. Employees were friendly, restaurant was clean and I received my order fast. Absolutely no complaints! Definitely worth the visit. Hopefully all locations are this good. read more

I grabbed a donut and coffee on my way to the train station. The Nutella filled chocolate donut was disappointing. I am not sure if it was the texture/dense donut or the lack of Nutella. I was expecting an airy donut filled with Nutella, but instead it was more like a dense croissant with a smear of Nutella on the inside. read more

In search of a little treat (TM), I decided to stop into this Stan's location as it is in the orbit of my daily rounds. I came in after the morning rush, probably closer to lunchtime, for an iced cold brew and some type of accompaniment. Branching out from my usual donut order, I opted for a savory spinach and feta pastry. Served warm, it was perfectly flaky and filled with a creamy spinach and feta mixture. Definitely the perfect choice to power me through the rest of my errands. This location is spacious and features ample counter and table seating. Perhaps I hit it right, as it was not at all crowded or noisy. There were also cups provided for water. I look forward to returning whenever I need a boost during a busy day. read more

We came on a very busy Sunday morning with a very long line and the staff rocked it! They were hustling and moving the line so quickly. The donuts were absolutely delightful - tasted so fresh! The cold brew was perfect. We also got two breakfast sandwiches, both tasty! Above all the staff was friendly and handled the business so well. Huge shout out to them at the Rush Street location! read more

The atmosphere is great but the service with the donuts not so much. They throw the donuts in the bag and they get squished and toppings are all over the bag. Very not presentable and messy. Not like the other Stan shops. Management should pay them a visit. read more

A nice variety of donuts to choose from. We all enjoyed our treats. The coffee was solid, as well. I can't wait to go back! read more

We've been to several Stan's (mostly this location) and have always had a good experience. They offer a large variety of donuts (and drinks) to choose from that are always delicious. Plenty of seating, clean (as much as they can be during a rush) & cute interior. The gentleman at the counter was kind, smiley and helpful. Want to try some other donut shops in Chicago, but always get drawn back to Stan's... for good reason! 'Til next time... :) read more

I came back to this location two days in a row because I loved your coffee. But today I had a terrible experience with one of your employees. They messed up the coffee twice and were so rude to me about the mess up. I was not rude and actually thought I ordered wrong and was kinda taking the blame for receiving a latte when I ordered an ice coffee. It was not busy so I was not taking her time from any customers but the faces she was giving me when I told her it was the wrong order was just rude and then was gossiping to other employees about it. I could see if I was rude about the third attempt to make the ice coffee but I smiled and was more than understanding that I had to wait. I had no where to be and never care about things like this but it was just really upsetting how rude she was when all I did was tell her I ordered an ice coffee not a latte. I was beyond respectful. She was rude from the start and it was just a little sad. I will not be coming back to this location because of how terrible she made me feel about something so simple and such an easy fix. read more

We knew we needed to stop here. So glad we did. I had an apple fritter and a maple long John (unfilled). My lovely had a croissant and vegan chocolate covered donut. All were so darned good. My apple fritter was super fresh. It wasn't laden with a sugar glaze, which is a good thing. When my lovely saw my long John was unfilled, I had to give it up. So good. So sad to not be able to have it all. Her croissant was perfect. Nicely eggy and buttery. The vegan donut was really good, too. She had a hot tea and I had a chai. Both good. read more

3.5 stars rounding up I saw plenty of people walking around with Stan's Donut & Coffee so felt it might be at least be a local chain shop so decided to check it out Pretty busy and there was a line but it moved quickly , shop has plentyyyy of sugary items haha I opt for LeStan Crossiant Donut since it was a popular item and also a "cronut" hehe It was pretty good , covered in white sugar and not overly sweet....until you reach the center where there is custard , haha! And afterwards I tried to do what I can, but in the end it did become too sweet for me Iced Cinnamon Matcha Latte - seasonal beverage and it was good, not super sweet but later on , I peeked at the bottom and it was covered with sugar particles l o l Will want to come back next time but try completely different items read more

The donuts at Stan's are amazing! I got the chocolate glazed cake flavored donut. They also have coffee and "stanwichs" and a variety of breakfast dishes. Service was quick but the workers could have been a bit more polite. There was a ~5 minute wait but only 2 people were in line. I would love to come back to try the carrot cake donut!

Thank you Kat for helping me out with my complicated order over the phone and being so patient with me!

Happy Sunday. Why oh why can't the classic Stan's donut be fresh. It's before 8 am. The apple fritter was fresh and good. But please go back to the Freshness Stan's has built its reputation. Please. read more

Very cute donut shop lots of seating. I was greeted as soon as I entered which I appreciated. I chose an apple fritter and birthday cake donut. The apple fritter was the best I've had in awhile.

I adored this place! FABULOUS study environment - there's the optimal location obviously, then a ton of chair seating (little tables/corners), & this huuuuuuuge elegant, pink booth where I sat briefly with my coffee & the woman across from me had plenty of room to have her laptop, textbooks, coat sprawled out - we took photographs of each other (women supporting women!) because the environment was just SO chic & cute! Okay, okay, now to the coffee & treats. They were out of vegan options for food :( :( :( (I came in at around 7-8pm) but I got a large latte with either soy or oat milk. They have several non-dairy options! The bathroom has a urinal! I mean, obviously that's not relevant to me, but it's relevant to men! So they can avoid urinating on the seat for us ladies :) okay this Yelp review just got way out of hand. I know, it's strange that I was pleased to see a urinal, but I feel like that's super rare & yeah hahaha that's all I've got to say on the matter. The cafe is very quaint and welcoming. There's another small booth (could seat a small family) right when you walk in. The place wasn't as clean as I wanted it to be, but nothing stood out. It was the end of the day, so maybe I'm remembering some wrappers and cups on tables or something. There were a lot of people having conversations or working, but even though it was such a busy time of day for such occurrences, there were still open tables. I would 100000% return. My latte was wonderful! The only downside was the cleanliness (the bathroom & the interior). Thank you Stan! U da man! read more

A quick and easy coffee/donut chain around Chicago. I think you come here for the convenience not necessarily the quality. You can tell they used the sweet matcha powder here. Line could get long so I would just order online ahead of time. Also wished they had a separate pickup line/signage for pickup orders so you don't have to wait if it's ready. Donuts look good and had lots of options but not sure how fresh they taste. read more

Had an everything bagel and pistachio donuts. Also ordered chocolate sprinkled and glazed donut. The inside was very roomy with plenty of seating, ordering was super quick. There were about 4 people taking orders and the line moved to pay at the end. Probably one of the best everything bagels I've ever had, and I know a thing or two about a good bagel. 10/10 would go here again. read more

Disappointed by the service. Stopped by Stan's for a coffee and croissant, but the experience was surprisingly unpleasant. The person taking orders was very rude, didn't offer a menu and dismissively said, "We're just like Starbucks." When I politely asked to have my croissant warmed up, she made a face and slammed it on the counter. I still thanked her, but got no response. Definitely not coming back. read more

Skip this place and go to a mom & pop shop... Depends on what you like in a doughnut joint. Stan's is the opposite of what I like. It has a very polished look with staff that doesn't want to be there. Highly themed place with a film of dirt on everything. The doughnuts were average at best, with the exception of the strawberry glazed which was pretty good. The coffee sufficed, but when I go to a doughnut shop I think the coffee should be plain. Stan's has "local" craft coffee which I thought clashed with the doughnuts. To me that decision seemed like an attempt by Stan's to be less corporate and "soulless"than they really are. A regular diner style coffee truly compliments a doughnut better. If you truly want to support local, go support those craft coffee makers directly, or better yet go to a mom and pop doughnut shop. read more

Every time I visit here, it's apathetic employees day. They range from eye rolls to whatevers. The donuts are fine, but a simple request not to use a bag (a sleeve was fine) turned into a battle of wills. A request for a cup of ice was totally ignored, even after asking nicely four dang times. There's another location near Northwestern Hospital that I'll visit. read more

I heard a lot of hype about Stan's Donuts so I decided to give it a try. I went in on a Saturday afternoon and the line was super long and wound through tables where people were trying to eat and talk. Felt a bit awkward but I think that's par for the course with such a popular place. By the time I got to order there weren't many choices left so I went with the toffee donut and a drip coffee. I couldn't find a place to sit (even being just one person) so I stood and ate by a ledge near a door which worked out for me since I couldn't stay too long. I was disappointed that the donut tasted more like a chocolate drizzle rather than toffee even though the bits were visible. I might come back to a Stan's if I see there isn't a huge line and try something else, but I wasn't impressed by this visit unfortunately. read more

I know these aren't cheap but you get a really good donut opposed to the major chain. I really like these and think it's worth the premium.

Happy national donut day (June 2)! Came to Stans for our free donut with purchase and was pleasantly surprised with the service despite being busy. Great vibes and lots of chairs to sit at and enjoy good conversation. We got a glazed cake donut and a caramel latte (ask for half syrup)! read more
