Hurry! Win lifetime Chicago's Stan 's Donuts Jun 5th! Jun 5th (2026) is National Donut Day, and every stand-alone Stan's Donuts & Coffee has two special donuts: a pink-filled one that wins you a year supply of donuts, and a green-filled one that wins you a Lifetime of free donuts! We had to try! Well, today is a school day, even on a national (donut) holiday! So we started with breakfast sandwiches. Our seven-year-old friend loved the pretzel with bacon egg and cheese (and extra bacon :-). And also had half of my bacon egg and cheese croissant! Both were hot and savory! Their hash browns were super-crispy and super-tasty with yummy seasonings. Their drip coffee was delicious with oat milk. No sugar needed! You can't go wrong with any of their donuts! Our personal favorites are their luscious double-chocolate cake-donuts, the inspiring pistachio cake donuts, and the crusty sweet apple fritter. Did we win a prize??? ... Drumroll please ... Nope. :-(. But that means you still have a chance until 5 PM at this location! (As late as 8pm at some!) And like us, you will still "win" delicious food and scrumptious donuts at Stan's :-) read more

I would occasionally allow myself a mid-week cheat day and Stan's is conveniently close to my office. I would place my order via their mobile app and they have been accurate for the most part. They made a mistake once. They gave me the wrong donut but it was not a deal breaker because it was one of my go-to donuts. Some of my usual go-to items are the glazed, plain old-fashioned, Biscoff pocket, and LeStan croissant donuts. The croissant donut is my absolute favorite! It is flakey, buttery, and divine! I have also tried the cold brew with vanilla cold foam and splash of almond milk. It is smooth and has just the right amount of [minimal] sugar for me. Luckily I only asked for a splash of almond milk because it was more than enough. read more

I love Stan's! It's such a fun place. The Logo, Design and overall "vibe". It's a vibe for sure. They have very fun gourmet donuts. $3.50'start price. They are flavorful and fun. I always find them to be polite and nice. This location was especially clean - well designed- nicely stocked and very nice people working. In a wonderful indoor food court. Washington Hall. I also had lunch before my sweet treat; roti, so good! I'd love to see more shops come in here as it's a very nice space and wonderful environment read more

Stans has a good selection of delicious donuts. I've tried a few of them and some are a little too sweet for me. I love donuts and my go to is the chocolate glazed donut. This location usually sells out pretty fast. read more

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

While visiting Chicago, I stopped by here. I was told the hot chocolate here was delicious and it in fact was. It's perfect way to warm up when you're walking through the chilly wind. I also got 3 mini confetti donuts. They were so tasty!! Not as sweet as I thought. They balanced the sweetness very well. The prices were also super affordable. My total for 2 hot chocolates and 3 mini donuts was about $14. I'd definitely come back the next time I find myself in Chicago again. read more

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

This "Stan's Donuts" location is the closest to my work and I often times would place my order via their mobile app ahead of time and it has been a time-saving strategy. This one is one of the vendors inside a food hall near the southeast corner of Washington and State. The traffic doesn't seem that heavy even on a weekday when people are working. In other words, I haven't had any problems with anything so far. This is my go-to "Stan's" and I am a fan of many menu items Stan's offers. Therefore, I will continue to patronize this location when I experience a crave. read more

We popped in here on our way to the bean. It was St. Patrick's day, and they had a good amount of themed donuts as well as their regular selections I assume. They did have some mini ones as well if you aren't interested in a big donut. They both tasted really good. The Irish cream donut was good. The cream inside had a nice flavor and it wasn't super sweet. The other one was like a chocolate dipped donut with sprinkles. The inside was a really beautiful shade of green! This one was a little sweeter, but not overly sweet like you might expect. We also got a Dubai chocolate mocha and the chocolate lightning. The chocolate lightning was cold brew and chocolate milk. The Dubai chocolate was quite sweet while the chocolate lightning was much more mild. Overall it was a great experience. There were a lot of people working, so even though there was a little line, the service was pretty quick for the drinks. read more

If I don't like a place I won't review it. This place is the exception because it made me sick. I ordered a protein shake and it was a huge mistake. My wife and I were tourist in the city, we both ate the same things throughout our trip except for this damn protein shake. I could not keep it down. No joke a random person walking on the street warned me before going in, although her warning was for the donuts. read more

Admittedly stumbled upon this place after trying and failing to get into the Nutella place next door but I'm glad we changed our minds! I was so surprised this place wasn't more packed so close to Millenium Park. As a tourist, I would highly recommend signing up for their rewards program. You immediately get a free drink which I redeemed and ordered a donut to go alongside it. I got the hot chocolate and strawberry frosted donut. The hot chocolate was so rich and thick, way better and cheaper than the one I had at Starbucks Reserve. The donut did not feel super fresh but was fluffy and sweet! Overall a great deal for a cheap breakfast. My only complaint was despite it not being too busy they completely forgot my boyfriend's drink order and we were left waiting almost 20 minutes. It's super cute inside too and the windows have a great view. I really enjoyed myself here! read more

Much better Stan's location than the other ones close by. This is located inside a small food hall so there are plenty of seating available. We were here for St Patrick's day weekend and I loved all the cute green themed donuts. They also serve breakfast items besides the obvious donuts. Friendly employees even during one of the most busiest holidays for Chicago. We ordered the breakfast burrito and a side of hash browns. Delicious! Portion is big enough for one person...I wouldn't suggest sharing unless you just want a light snack. This was our go-to every morning while visiting. It's close by to The Riverwalk, Chicago River and other main attraction points here in the city. read more

Was recently walking by and decided to stop in because I had heard good things. I'm so glad I did. The staff were incredibly friendly. I tried a Vegan Olive Oil Croissant, a Cruffin, and Black Coffee.The croissant was absolutely delectable. It was moist, but still flaky, and pulled apart beautifully. I want another! The Cruffin was, likewise, fantastic. The cream filling was not overly sweet, but perfectly complimented the flaky nature of the Cruffin. I can't wait to return to the city and come back to this location. It was wonderful. read more

Popped in to check out this food court and saw the tempting treats at Stan's. So after a quick scan of the selection we chose a blueberry old fashioned donut. It was very tasty. Not cheap but not as outrageous as some of the fancy donut shops in downtown Chicago. I would search them out again. read more

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

During my stay in Chicago, I decided to go for a run downtown and stumbled upon a food hall with a delightful surprise inside--a donut shop called Stan's Donuts. On my way back to the hotel, I couldn't resist stopping to grab some donuts. I opted for the half dozen, which cost $18.05 and allowed me to choose 2 of the standards, 2 specialties, and 2 Dough Boys Best. From the standards, I chose a Glazed Donut and a Vanilla Glazed Crueller. For the Dough Boys Best, I went with a Biscoff Pocket and a Chocolate Pocket with Nutella. Lastly, for the specialties, I selected a Red Velvet Donut and a Toffee Cake Donut. These donuts were absolutely amazing. It took me about a day to finish all of them, but they did not disappoint. Each donut tasted incredibly fresh, as if it had been made that morning or the night before. The flavors were distinct and delicious, with each donut having its own unique taste. My absolute favorite was the Red Velvet Donut, closely followed by the Vanilla Glazed Crueller. Both had a perfect balance of sweetness and texture that made them stand out. I highly recommend stopping by Stan's Donuts and trying their delicious selection, especially with a cup of coffee. It's definitely worth it if you're in the area! Also the ladies who assisted me were extremely polite, caring and very helpful and patient in helping my find the right donuts. read more

Really good donut. Hopping place even in the early morning. Coffee was hot and alright. Love the pink decor and comfy seats. Ambiance is welcoming read more

I stopped here for a midday latte (and a doughnut). The location was fairly busy but the line moved quickly enough. It was counter service and they called you when your order was completed. While the line moved quick enough to checkout, the wait for the order was a bit more. To be honest it feels like they were a bit overwhelmed the time I was there. There was seating inside, but again, it was packed......for me, Togo was the right way for this place. The latte was decent, I have no complaints, but not anything special. The doughnuts at Stan are all pretty basic. I had a chocolate covered one that was tasty, but definitely basic. My guess is that this place is pretty consistent and see,ms to Ben a good choice we if you are looking for a reliable coffee and doughnuts. read more

Phenomenal service! The main reason I keep coming back is because of the high quality service & the way the take care of my orders. Recently went and they made my coffee to sweet/creamy so they gave me a mini coffee to even it out. So thoughtful without me even asking. This location is in the UrbanSpace Food Court and definitely worth stopping be here. Even if you work by, might even be worth trying every day before work. I really wish I got the employees name that helped me out because I would give her a shoutout but I did let her know that she made my day & it's the small things that matter. Thanks Stan's Donuts & Coffee, I will be back soon! Personal Review/ 9.5/10 read more

I have passed by this spot a few times, but I finally had time to stop. I had the birthday cake donut, and my husband had the PB&J donut. The cake donut was soft in the middle and was smothered in a crisp white icing with sprinkles. It was large and sweet, so I only ate half. I enjoyed a small cappuccino with it. My husband enjoyed the PB&J. He said it wasn't too sweet, and it was a generous size. Unlike me, he ate his whole donut. The place was busy with what seemed like students and locals. Loyola University is nearby as well as shops. read more

I visited here on my first day in Chicago. This place wasn't too far in walking distance from my hotel. I was very pleased with my visit. Staff was very friendly! I engaged one of them in conversation about their donuts and the history of Stan's Donuts. I learned that this is a major chain in Chicago. However, they started out in Los Angeles before moving into Chicago. This Stan's location is located in a nice food court. It sits right on a Main Street in downtown Chicago. They have a very nice selection of donuts to choose from. Better quality than your average donut chain. I ordered a Vegan Chocolate Donut and a regular Glazed Donut. I also ordered a decaf latte. The latte went very well with the donuts. I sat at the front window and enjoyed my donuts while people watching. It was a bit noisy this day inside but I didn't allow it to interfere with my nice experience at Stan's. Donuts weren't dry. They tasted fresh. Chocolate icing was really good on the vegan donut. They're reasonably priced as well. What made this experience better was the quality customer service I received here. Management is doing a fantastic job! Keep up the good work! I would definitely return here if ever in Chicago again. I recommend checking out Stan's for quality donuts. I speculate a lot of businesses purchase dozens of donuts to bring to the office. read more

These are fantastic donuts and really good options. The one annoying thing is the drinks are separate from the donuts, so there are two lines that confuse things. read more

I spent a quick two days in Chicago with my daughter on her spring break. First morning we went to Stan's Donuts. I knew they were a local, favorite but I had never been to one before. We visited the location in the food hall near our hotel, the Cambria. It was a little busy, but the line moved very quickly. The ambience is just OK since it is in a food hall and we were just eating donuts. Overall, the experience was perfect and the three donuts we got to split were really, really good. I would definitely go back! read more

The donuts are just all right but the prices are too high. Service wasn't too friendly. I went here because it was across the street from my hotel. Maybe the other locations are better. read more

I mean I heard a lot of hype about this place but its nothing special. We got a toffee and blueberry donut, both which were good and seemed like specialty flavors. Then I also ordered a pumpkin spice latte and it was $8 and mediocre. Come for the donuts but skip the drinks. The tables weren't exactly clean all dirty too btw. read more

Terrible service. Entered Order at the kiosk, and then waited for five people to go through the cashier line before anybody decided to take a look at the kiosk order. Then my order was placed as far away from me as possible for pick up. read more

I love everything about this place! It's a must-get when you're in Chicago. Service was great and since it was our first time, it took us a minute to figure out which flavors to get. We opted for the old fashioned blueberry donut (frosting was super sweet compared to the Krispy Kreme version), strawberry bismark (dough is super soft with tons of filling) and apple fritter (lots of cinnamon). Their coffee pairs well with all of the donuts we got as well. read more

Great addition in a food hall, Urbanspice. Dessert and coffee after a meal what more you can ask for. Love their blueberry cream cheese filled donut. And they had some interesting cold brews on tap. Compliments the other restaurants quite well. Person at the location was nice enough to let me sample the barrel aged cold brew since people either love it or hate. Really helpful in explaining some questions I had about their coffee. read more

Horrible service. If you want to wait 15 minutes when there are only four people ahead of you, with three employees "working," this is the place to go to. read more

Service was a 5/5, friendly and efficient. Cannot really rate the ambiance, it's in a food court. Food was a 3/5. I bought 6 donuts (the assorted special which was about $20). I was expecting much better quality for the price. I was there pretty early, so expected fresh amazing donuts. But for the most part they tasted like they had been out for a while. The best one we had was the blueberry old fashioned. The glazed was good. Others were a little hard and borderline stale tasting. They were not bad or inedible, just tasted like something we would get from a grocery store bakery that has been out for a while. read more

Vegan options were yummy. Others enjoyed the regular options as well. Also brought home a bag of coffee beans, which were very nice.

Donuts and coffee were great. Super rude staff, though -- was trying to select a half-dozen donuts and felt super rushed, and got scolded for not saying the full name of the donut that I was ordering even though some of the labels were covered. And it wasn't even busy. Won't be returning. read more

Pretty good donuts, but my gawd service can be SOOOO SLOW in the morning. Don't let there be one or two people getting a dozen donuts or have no idea what they want because you will be waiting 10-15 just to get one donut. Staff can be very friendly just super inefficient when there is a line of people in the morning. read more

Loved the spiced apple cider with a lemonade kick. The donuts are great too! Solid chain with a cute vibe all over the city.

Love Stan's!! The glazed old fashion is so delicious and creamy which I never expected from a donut. Sooo good
