This location is super high tech with a flat screen television above the cash registers detailing available items and their prices! It was impressive! I selected the Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee and the barista ground it appropriately for my press. Needless to say I am looking forward to making it tomorrow!!! The staff was knowledgeable, kind, efficient and hardworking. The ambiance was soft leather seats at small and larger tables. Everything was well stocked and very clean. I will definitely return to this location in the near future. Love the personalized service. read more

was looking for a place to grab a snack while waiting for my doctors appointment in northwestern. this place is located on the first floor right near the entrance. i got two cake doughnuts with sprinkles, pretty tasty. the real winner though is the cherry vanilla refresher. the worker recommended it to me and said he was actually drinking one at the moment lol. i'm glad i listened bc damn it was tasty. wish i gotten the largest size. very sweet, almost lemonade kind of tasting. i loved it. i'll definitely grab another one next time im back at northwestern. read more

Visted Stan's Donuts looking for a delectable donut. Visually, the donuts looked great. So we requested a traditional glazed donut and a gluten free blueberry glazed donut. The regular glazed donut was just okay. The blueberry one had a little more flavor and I enjoyed it. Overall, the donuts were surprisingly average. Donuts aren't the only thing they do, however, and they offered other pastries and drinks. Most of the people in the shop were not eating donuts. With the word "Donuts" in your name, I would expected better donut game and a bigger selection. read more

UPDATE: 1-19-25 5th and final time I will go here. Can't go wrong with a cinnamon roll! WRONG. STALE! How is a business allowed to leave items out until they're sold even stale? Do not attemt to eat while in your car, the icing is so dry is cracks/flakes off. There's no icing on here and dry, dry, dry. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. WASTE OF MONEY. GO TO DUNKI AND GET SOMETHING GOOD! NEVER had a fresh or close to fresh donuts! No matter what time I go to the 259 E Erie location the donuts is pretty stale already. 10am, 11am, 2pm, 4pm.. always terrible. This was the 4th time I tried a donuts while I had an appointment at Northwestern. $5 for a donuts but I keep giving them a chance hoping the previous visit was a bad day but 4 almost stale donuts??? I came home today and just scooped out the cookie butter and tossed the donuts. Waste of money! read more

Pretty sure this is the best donut I've ever had. It is worth the calories no doubt. Sort of mad I fell in love with Stan's Donuts, but also so happy to have found an amazing coffee and donut / breakfast spot with awesome customer service! This donut is crispy and flaky on the outside and yet soft inside. So good! My go to is the plain old fashion always and now this one! read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Le Stan Croissant Donut - incredible - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Been here a couple of times, and honestly not a big fan of big donut chains Dunkin, Winchells, because, in my opinion the doughnuts do not have much flavor. My family who live in the area really like Stan's but i think its more of the convenience because there are no other doughnut shops around. They have some very interesting seasonal doughnuts but i wanted to stay with the classics to see how they compare to my local doughnut shop. We ordered some old fashioned, glazed, chocolate glazed, and a cinnamon roll. Also tried regular coffee. Will have to say the best part of the trip was the coffee, it tasted great with no typical coffee shop bitterness. The doughnuts were honestly very pedestrian, not too dry, not too flavorful, just kind of meh. Everything looks to be very consistent, so if you have a favorite you are sure to be pleased, but nothing really exciting to speak of. read more

Convenient location with plenty of seating. Came around lunch and they still had a good selection of pastries. I'm a fan of the pistachio old fashioned donut. I ordered a basic iced oatmilk latte, which had a strong espresso flavor and balanced amount of ice and oatmilk. The staff completely my order quickly. read more

Houston-based donut lover here. Hi. I liked Stan's!! Shop was clean, couples were there enjoying one another and enjoying donuts. Service was young. On to the good stuff: the donut options were impressive- so many delicious-sounding choices left me overwhelmed. We went for breakfast sandwiches on croissants, plain glAzed donuts and pumpkin spice lattes. Everything was good. I would recommend this place when you're in the area, you won't regret it. Two word review: get glazed. read more

Donuts ok. Gave us one different from what we ordered (blueberry vs blueberry old fashioned,) but probably should have watched and noticed as they got it. Wife got a pumpkin coffee drink which was good. I got a cold brew with cold foam. I'm not sure if really even was coffee. Nearly clear liquid and tastes like water, not a hint of coffee. Absolutely terrible. read more

Some of the best donuts I've ever had. Came here bright and early on a trip to Chicago and got a half dozen to have for the upcoming week. I immediately ate the cronut, which was arguably the best cronut I've ever had. It was coated in sugar (which is how I like it with my sweet tooth), many flakey layers, a sweet dough, and a boston cream like filling. It was fresh, warm, and the perfect combination of chewy donut and flaky croissant. The boston cream was also a highlight of the half dozen, although none of them were bad. The only downside is that the coffee was just okay. Both my friend and I were not big fans of our coffee, but the quality of the donut made up for it. The service was also fast and very friendly for 6:30am. They made conversation with me and cracked jokes, which was a wonderful way to start the morning. Absolutely coming back whenever I make it back to Chicago. read more

Not sure what all of the fuss is about, but Stan's sells so-so donuts at sky-high prices! My husband is having a stay at the hospital steps away from Stan's. So I have stopped in several times the past few weeks. In the morning, there is a good selection of donuts and the service is okay. In the evening, there are no donuts left and you're given a blank stare when you come into the shop. The donuts are okay, with a few creative flavors you probably can't get anywhere else, but they're not great, especially for the prices they charge. And shop just feels like an overpriced chain store. Yes, it's better than Dunkin', but not by much. I know that they're a dying breed, but I have had much better donuts at mom and pop bakeries, and at half the price, and twice the quality. read more

Stan's is only a few blocks away from my friend's place, and we were lucky to start our morning with a yummy desserty breakfast! The interior was predominantly this bright, bubbly pink that really set the mood this morning. Pink can be a tricky color to work with for interior design, but overall, the place still looked modern & classy. Pink sofas, chairs, couches, bags, and etc. so fun!!! As for our naughty breakfast... We loved the old-fashioned donuts & I also enjoyed the gluten-free blueberry donut. We ordered takeout so that we can have them by the river, but first, we had to take a cute touristy selfie inside with all things pink :) read more

We love Stan's. It's becoming a must when we visit Chicago. It's one of the few places I can find not only my chocolate old fashioned donut, but a DOUBLE chocolate old fashioned donut.... (I know, drooling, right?!?) Our first experience (pink bag) was at the Rush Street location... SUPER busy, but both of us loved our donuts and service was good... not super friendly, but still polite and quick. Our second visit was the Erie location - the guy helping us was fast, but funny and friendly... even complimented my glasses. My chocolate old fashioned was DELICIOUS, but my daughter was so disappointed... her Long John had no filling, hence only 4 stars instead of 5. She gets a better Long John from our local gas station, unfortunately. Overall, Stan's is great... fun atmosphere with kinda retro lighting & decor, yummy donuts and good people. We'll always come back... just work on those Long John's, please! :) read more

Great addition to an area that is flooded with Starbucks. Stan's donuts has an assortment of options for you to try. My fav is a plain old fashion with a oatmilk latte. It is my little treat when I have to pop in for appointments at Northwestern. If they do not have the plain old fashion my second go to is the plain glazed donut. Sorry there is no curbside pickup. I believe you can place a mobile order through the app. There is a pickup area for orders but I do not like my food to sit out since people can walk past and touch your order. My only issue is this location not having curbside pickup but I guess they cater to Northwestern hospital. It can be a little tight during a rush with sitting evened spaced due to C-19. read more

Stan's Donuts is wonderful and their coffee drinks are amazing. It is right near where I stayed last year at Northwestern and Shirley Ryan and my wife and I went back two weeks ago for my follow up. It helped that we preordered ahead since the line was almost out the door. We had the Apple Cider Cake and Pumpkin Old Fashioned Donuts as well as a Caramel Apple and Pumpkin Spice Lattes which were all delicious. read more

Don't get me wrong- the donuts are great. Although sugar bombs for sure. They are waaaay overpriced for what you get, even the classics. If you're a tourist with kids you couldn't go wrong here - just be prepared to pay for the privilege. Use google maps and go to do-rite chicken and donuts instead. read more

I ordered my drink with light ice and then asked the young lady who prepared my drink if it was prepared with light ice and she stated yes. If 3/4 cup of ice is considered light ice I can only wonder how much ice would have been in my cup if I did not request light ice. I basically donated $6.70 to them. read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Their version of "light ice" - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great donuts -- no doubt about it. You're not going to be disappointed with the quality and flavor. In the last ten years, the fancy donut shop has become more than a rarity. Be prepared to pay $3-6 for each donut. They have different tiers, hence the pricing differences. Some are on special, and some are premium ingredients. Usually it seems they have about ten to fifteen varieties. Some filled; some cake. They serve coffee and variants, and there are breakfast sandwiches and also unusual items like a muffin-donut hybrid. read more

I'm soooo confused on why there was so many people here... Came on a Monday (Labor Day) and there was a decent amount of people around 8am. Service was amazing! They workers were very kind but the two donuts my friend and I tried as SO SO SO sweet it literally gave us tooth aches. I would never come back here again. We have Stan's donuts in California in Santa Clara and that place is 100000 times better!!! Also there was a cockroach in the bathroom and you can tell they definitely don't clean the tables or floor. read more

OMG the sugary goodness that is here! It was hard to pick out just a few donuts, so we got some to take back to Kentucky with us. So unique and delicious! We asked for some recommendations, and ended up with a delicious raspberry cheesecake. WOW! My favorite as always was the old fashioned blueberry. Yum! read more

This is not a Happy Stan's Donuts. I've received crunchy donuts (old? Overcooked?), and the staff just wants to move people along. I know that paper is used to grab donuts, but there was a recent instance where money was handled and then gloves weren't changed. I tried doing to points thing too since my friend got a cake for her birthday (I want one!), and 2 visits happened where it didn't work and staff told me points were added. Their coffee is good and the filled donuts are spot on Stan's read more

Great donuts for a great price. People working there are very nice. Love it when I get to stop by to grab some donuts.

A cute coffee shop with a good amount of seating. I got the lemon pistachio traditional but went around 10 AM so not as fresh. Was still good but if fresh or warmed up I think it would have been perfect. A good place to hang or get a little bit of work done. I wouldn't say good for zoom meetings because when busy it can be loud. read more

Small location with limited variety, but overall I was pleased with our experience. We arrived at 8am on a Sunday morning and our order was waiting for us on the pickup rack. I highly suggest ordering ahead as this was a busy time for breakfast. PROS: -Order was ready for us at pickup time. -Surprisingly, there is a good amount of seating (inside and outside). -Blueberry old fashioned and glazed pretzel were good! -Ice water dispenser available located near napkins and utensils. CONS: -My husband said that the chocolate old fashioned was not good. Too much icing, which made the donut soggy. -Outside tables were very dirty, and there were birds everywhere waiting for your food. We decided to sit inside instead. -Pricey. Paid $12 for 3 donuts. read more

I came here mostly looking for a latte. I'm not into super crazy donut flavors so most times I've gotten glazed which I think they do really well. The donuts are always fresh tasting. I usually just get plain because I find the other flavors to be too sweet. Anyways, I've found that at other locations they carry La Colombe draft latte cans but this was not the case here, so I ended up ordering one of their lattes and found it to be very watery and disappointing. Also another time I went in the morning and they just didn't have any donuts at all and they didn't really have an explanation. I also think it's kind of ridiculous to have a donut shop embedded in a hospital but who knows. read more

Stopped by for a bit since I always see a Stan's donuts somewhere, but have never been. The place is a ghost town after 5pm with almost no business so it's no wonder they don't restock the donuts. There were only four glazed left of which I just took one in-case others wanted them. The cashier seemed surprised that I just took one & asked me repeatedly if I'm sure I just wanted one (I don't know if she expected me to order more or she wanted people to finish them off.) I also got a mango dragonfruit drink. Something was odd about the drink pricing though because either the small is what's shown on the menu or every size is the same price since the pricing seemed a bit much for a small 16oz drink. I was handed my order within two minutes after it was placed. When I went to sit down I noticed the place was dirty. It looks like it hasn't been wiped down in forever by the looks of the layered on dirt on the table legs & seats. I honestly expected more, especially considering the downtown white collar clientele that come through here. The glazed donut was good. It was a romantic blend of sweetness & fluffyness without too much of either. I scarfed it down then began to sip on the mango dragonfruit. The drink starts out pretty mild. It's almost like a pink lemonade with hints of mango for the first layer, but I guess you're supposed to mix it since once you hit the bottom dark layer you're hit with a wave of sugary goodness. It's odd because they give it to you with a sipping top & no straw so shake it to mix it. Overall, it's a decent donut shop. Not the best show they got going on here considering the lack of product & cleanliness, but at least they got the food right. If I need a quick bite to eat & nothing else is available I wouldn't hesitate to stop by here, but with other places like Do-Rite around the corner from here it's no wonder the place is a dead after dark. I did note that there were at least 10-15 people that stopped by looking for donuts during my brief time there (30 or so minutes) so perhaps they should at least prepare 3-4 of each flavor & see what sells in the afternoon/early evening in-order to avoid having people leave disappointed or even just leaving money on the table since it says they close at 8PM! That's quite a few hours that a business is open without anything to offer as far as mainstays. Might as well close shop after lunch is over like many other downtown restaurants if that's the case. read more
