    The interior is colorful and inviting. The donuts are delectable ( I highly recommend the Gluten Free Blueberry), and their coffee options have yet to disappoint!

    Friendly staff, same great quality you expect from Stan's and a out in less than 10 minutes. I went mid afternoon though. I would imagine you'll need to allow extra time during the breakfast rush hours with all the hospitals nearby.

    Yummy donuts and coffee- Tried the Lotus donut and iced oat milk latte, and while the donut was just incredible, the coffee tasted a bit.. dilluted? Not much strength to the coffee and just very bland. Apart from this, the donut selection was mad and geninely wished I tried more!

    Donuts good. Coffee good. Frozen salted caramel hot chocolate good. The donuts I had were delicious. Oddly not as sweet as I expected. This was a good thing. The donuts that were labeled pockets, seem to be a form of cinnamon roll looking pastry. Mine was lacking in the filing part on one side, but the side with bits of Butterfinger was amazing. They really were delicious. My only issue which almost made me go "Karen," was the fact that the 5 people after me got their coffees before me and I got a little attitude when I asked about it. In the coffee makers defence, it was crazy busy. AND I needed caffeine.

    On our list of "must stops"...& glad we did. Had a Caramel Marshmellow Pocket with a Red Velvet Frozen Hot Chocolate. Afternoon sugar rush...yes please!

    Everything is great about Stan’s except back in the day they knew to separate the gluten-less items from the normal and to put the gluten less ones on the top shelf to minimize cross contamination. Please start doing that again, I promise you will make more sales!

    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. They might as well close shop after lunch is over like many other downtown restaurants if that's the case.

    Most important thing to start: real and good espresso coffee in this place. Along my espresso I had some sort of chocolate donut that doesn't have the standard shape, but it was very good. Last but not least, on a very hot day, they had a jar of ice cold water free to serve yourself. Nice touch.

    Donuts weren't great. The peanut butter flavor was overpowering and just straight peanut butter, not whipped or anything like that, just as if you ate a not great donut and then a spoonful of peanut butter. Chocolate shake was just okay, nothing special. The frozen hot chocolate was bland and not well mixed as there were chunks of ice. Donuts are probably good in the morning, but not worth it.

    First time here. Good choices of donuts and prices weren’t terrible. Got a glazed, Boston cream and sour cream glazed. Glazed were good but Boston Crème lacked. Got two coffees. WAY overpriced…almost $7 for a drip coffee!

    This red velvet cupcake was so delicious, one of the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. It was so fresh , flavorful and pure yummy !

    I love to sample new donut shops and Stan’s did not disappoint! I sampled 3 kinds and they were all fabulous. Not greasy at all and extremely delicious. Will definitely return when I’m back in Chicago.
