Nice location, both in cleanliness and friendly staff. Donuts tend to run out by 3 or so, though they always have a bagel or two. Zippy fast WiFi, compared to other coffee places. read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Speed test on their WiFi - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The original Stanwich, on a croissant, is so good! They sold out of the bun so I got the croissant, it's so buttery and flakey! Suga of BTS had coffee here so we had to try it. We just happened to pass it and it was a block from our destination. The inside is like an old time diner and the coffee and donuts are delicious. read more

I absolutely love Stan's Coffee and usually order delivery, but today I stopped in while I was nearby picking up a rental car--and I'm so glad I did. The cold brew with vanilla cold foam was incredible--smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness. Hands down one of the best cold brews I've had in the city. The atmosphere inside is just as impressive--warm, welcoming, and a great place to relax or get a little work done. I had to take a few work calls while I was there, and when my phone died, Kevin and Eli went above and beyond to help me out. My charger was also not working and I was panicking. They found me a comfortable spot to sit and even loaned me a charger so I could keep working. Their kindness and attentiveness made a big impression. I was debating between Stan's and the Starbucks across the street--so glad I chose Stan's. Amazing coffee, even better service, and a vibe that makes you want to stay a while. read more

Was it the best donuts I've had? No. Was it decent and helped with donut cravings? Yes. They have large enough indoor seating, for half dozen of regular and half dozen of special donuts, we've paid about $40. Which is honestly insane... in this economy? And they ask for tips? Insanity. lol my favorite one was the cronuts. Their red velvet didn't really have much flavors. A lot of variety to try but you may have to pay that price. They do have other items besides donuts too. read more

Having grown up going to the original Stan's Donuts (Westwood, CA), I was excited to see this Stan's in Chicago. I want to give props for a nice decor that hits all of the right nostalgic notes. (Let's face it: most donut shops have white walls and zero decorations.) I also want to give props for an expanded menu beyond just donuts. That's cool. I ordered the breakfast sandwich plus two donuts -- not because I want to gain weight but instead so I could try different items and report back here. I hate to report that the donuts, while not bad, are not particularly great (and taste nothing like the original Stan's donuts.). The breakfast sandwich was mediocre. If I lived in Chicago, I would definitely find a better donut shop. Still, I enjoyed the nostalgia -- and I like that Stan is remembered! read more

This location is extremely high traffic and you'll probably observe many homeless people that come in and out. Staff have always been pleasant and I like that this location is open later in the day if you need a respite from shopping down Clark Street or just need a quick sweet treat. read more

Oh Stan's! How I miss you so! You've become a Chicago staple over the years and when I lived in the city, I popped in pretty regularly. This location is at a busy intersection right by a train stop so can get crowded. Def don't plan on snagging a seat inside on the weekend, but you can try! I'm a chocoholic so the chocolate long john, double chocolate old fashioned and vanilla old fashioned - tricked ya with that last one. I'm not a pistach girl but the world loves their few pistachio options. Overall, I find their flavors hit or miss but if you stick to the old fashioneds, you'll be in business. read more

Until today this spot had been my only experience with Stan's. The donuts were incredibly dry and stale the 3 times I tried them. I swore I'd never try again. Today I needed to grab some thing in Northbrook before a doctor's appointment. The Stan's in Mariano's had some of the best donuts I've ever had. I blamed the chain, but apparently the problem is just this location. read more

I tried Stan's for the first time yesterday and was impressed. Although they are expensive, they're good, and you get what you pay for. I bought a dozen doughnuts and was able to try bites of a few as they were for a family party. My favorites were the plain and the chocolate glazed cake. The shop was clean and bright. And the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Kevin. Thanks for a great experience- looking forward to my next visit when we're home for Christmas!! read more

I love Stan's for their Donuts and coffee. The Stan's branch I recently visited had a lot more Vegan options when compared to the downtown branch. They had Vegan Strawberry Croissant and Cinnamon Sugar donut. Both looked really good. We got the Carrot Cake as my boyfriend was craving for it. We could easily taste the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and carrots in it. Chicago has a lot of Stan's outlets and you should surely check it out once! read more

We had stopped in here for a quick coffee before heading out of town. This place has insane donuts and one of the best matcha mixes I've ever had. The shop has a cute little area for sitting.

She was amazing and I would 10/10 recommend this location to anyone. read more

Found myself watching Midnight Club on Netflix - c'mon, it's October, spooky month, I'm trying to be festive. Lo & behold, a character was wearing a Stan's Donuts tee. What?! Well then, it's been forever, but now I want a Chocolate Pocket with Nutella... & a t-shirt. It was roughly mid-day but they still had a couple left! They didn't have the tee in my size but I grabbed a mug. I appreciated it being wrapped carefully & packaged separate from my doughy treat. Made it home & eagerly put the goods on the counter. Would it be just as good as remember? YES. My inner Homer Simpson died of nostalgia upon first bite. I've never been a fan of filled donuts until this creation... I'm a sucker for Nutella. What can I say? The frosting stuck a bit to the paper, but it was still the same beloved donut I enjoyed years ago. I'm sure their other offerings are delicious too, I just can't bring myself to try anything else. Maybe I'll get around to a Le Stan Croissant Donut along with my usual. If you're a chocoholic like me or just enjoy a good donut, pop into Stan's. It's time to treatyoself. read more

Frankly I don't see what the hoopla is about this place. They do have a fun assortment of donuts but to me they all tasted a little stale. I know they're fresh every day but wasn't a big deal and for the price tag which is ridiculous is certainly not worth it. I'm sure there are other places nearby that have just as good product but you will not be paying $10 for two donuts. Feel free to check it out for the novelty however, it's pretty much like the Northend Boston. They suck you in and drain you dry! read more

Stan's has the fluffiest egg sandwiches ever! Seriously! Try any of their egg sandwiches and you'll be hooked! Even a Keto friendly version! And don't forget the donuts! They have a beautiful selection of donuts. Vanilla, chocolate, carrot cake, sprinkles, glazed, gluten free too! You'll be happy with any one or two or three of them! The staff is great too! read more

Even us vegans like a sweet treat sometimes, and Stan's delivers with two selections. The chocolate vegan donut was very satisfying, moist, and not too sweet. The cinnamon sugar was hard to swallow, literally. The taste was alright, but even taking very small bites, I literally coughed and choked on it. Too bad. I had a very good decaf oak milk latte, which helped, a little, when I was trying to swallow the cinnamon sugar. The highlight of this location, though, is the customer service. The people behind the counter acted as if they were thrilled to see me, and thrilled to serve me. I felt very welcome. Customer service will make or break a business, and Stan's had the right people working there. read more

This iconic Chicago donut shop lived up to all the hype. First, the building that it is in is so Chicago city vibe and the sweet teat offerings and coffee are mind blowing. We had a little taste of everything with coffee and chai - all were superb! The decor was adorable, tufted pink leather settees, retro pink leather lounge chairs, framed donuts on the wall made for a quirky fun vibe. read more

Stan's Donuts & Coffee - Vanilla Glazed Cruller - Donuts Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The croissant donut filled with pastry cream (called "Le Stan," I believe) was super good. It's shaped like a square and has a yummy crunchy exterior and a fluffy layered interior. Layers are thicker than a typical croissant, giving it more of a donut feel. The pastry cream filling is very yummy, thick without being too gloppy. Service was typical for a donut place, i.e. very fast. The outside is a bit overly sugary due to the sugar granules they coat it with, but you can easily brush those off if you want it less sweet. read more

This place is really cute and a great alternative to Starbucks. Not only is the interior really retro and neat but the food is amazing. We came here twice on our trip this past weekend bc it was so convenient, efficient and delicious. I even had a discount card from my hotel but I forgot to use it but didn't care bc it was worth it. The staff was very friendly and efficient getting food out. The atmosphere was relaxing and quaint despite being in a busy area. Would definitely recommend for bfast, donut options, or a quick drink on the run. The first time I got a fancy croissant donut and a egg n cheese bfast sandwich. The second trip I got a plain test donut and another plant based sausage bfast sandwich. Loved that they have vegetarian options here as well!!! Overall all the food was fresh and amazing! Yummy , check them out and it's all well priced too!! read more

11/29/20 - REVIEW 1,005 - Stan's Donuts ta die for. I've seen Stan's before but have never had one before 10/19 when I was in Wicker Park and stopped at the Stan's On Damen Ave. This was the beginning of the end. Now I'm hopelessly addicted to their donuts, but bit just any donut the double dark chocolate donut w/a dark chocolate cake (nice & moist w/a slight crunch of an old fashioned donut) & the dark chocolate decadence of that sweet rich dark chocolate frosting. If it sound like I'm drooling now I probably am lol. Honestly if you like dark chocolate (and I love it). You will absolutely love this donut. I have now been to 5 different Stan's Donuts since 10/19 & I always always get this DOUBLE DARK CHOCOLATE OLD FASHIONED DONUT because if I don't I know I will regret not getting this donut. That's how dam good it is. Honestly I hadn't been eating a lot of sweets but this one donut is my kryptonite. I can't resist it or stop thinking about it. Does it sound like I'm obsessed? Yah yah just a little. TRY IT YOU'LL LOVE IT!!! read more

After hearing good reviews from several friends, I decided to try out Stan's. It's been a. I got a bacon/egg/cheese pretzel stanwich with an iced pumpkin spice latte. My friend got a vanilla latte and pistachio glazed donut. The pretzel was soft and chewy, and my bacon was crispy goodness! It wasn't too bad! The iced PSL was very yummy as well. We wished there was more pistachio flavor in the donut, but it was soft nonetheless. This location is a cute spot with several seating options. Some tables are super close together though, but it's a good sized place. The service is nice enough. I'm sure I'll be back again to try several donuts, but it didn't blow my mind like I thought it would! read more

Stopped by on a weekday afternoon to see what all the hype was about! Ended up trying a larger maple bacon. Expensive! The maple bacon was a bit dryer than expected, but the portion was shareable, but still not worth the over $5 I spent. Overall was good, but not blow your socks off kind of great! If I was in the area and need a coffee and donut, maybe, but I do not think I will be making the trip back just to score one of these "delicacies." Still on the search for the best donuts in the cities! If you found it, PM me, this could be life changing. Please. read more

This location is conveniently located on Clark and Broadway. I have an appointment at Glamrum right across the street, but decided to stop in here for a quick bite to eat since I arrived early. I was serviced right away, and I've had Stan's sporadically over the years. I was surprised to see they served bagels, sandwiches, and small sides in addition to coffee and donuts. I'm here for it, and I decided to go with their bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a side of hash brown. It's actually not bad at all, the sandwich is tasty -- my only complaint is the egg is crumbly and kept spilling out of the sandwich through every bite, and my personal preference is Dunkin's hash browns even though the food here seems to be a healthier option and better quality. Either way, I recommend this location to anyone in the area looking for a snack or breakfast. read more

Mmm... how can I resist Stan's Donut? I don't live near one so every time I pass by one, I must get one! Going from just a few locations to now expanded to available in various neighborhoods, the taste & texture is always consistent. Went on a Saturday around 2- I didn't think it was considered "donut" time but there were many patrons in there. But you know what? You can have Stan's at any time, right? I found out Stan's carry vegan glazed donuts-- and they're just as good! The outside isn't as creamy as regular, but it's coated with sugar instead. Good luck trying to pick what you want! I'm so indecisive so I always just stick to glazed. Yuuuum!! read more

Came here during a off time because I was craving a latte. I'm not into all the crazy flavors so I grabbed a glazed and cinnamon sugar donut. The glazed was fluffy, generously sized and everything tasted fresh despite it being late in the day. The cinnamon donut tasted just like a cider donut. I was happily surprised to see they had the la Colombe draft lattes available so I didn't have to wait and could just grab one to go. I found the prices to be steep but I think you get what you pay for. Also extra star the staff was very friendly and practiced good hygiene ( saw them washing hands before helping me with my order). read more

Plenty of choices in there for all to enjoy and the staff is super nice! Great for any celebration or just a morning treat.
