    Absolutely delicious. Two words, Pistachio Donuts. It's a pistachio lovers dream, they have multiple types of them as well. I HAD to try all of them including a Red Velvet and cream cheese donut... mouth watering good🥲🥲. I love eating donuts and I'll tell you what, I've found my favorite donut period. Better than Krispy, Better than NYCs donuts, they are the best!! Couple the top tier donuts with amazing customer service, great coffee, smooth rich Cafe style drinks, and super clean restaurants with ambiance..., Stan's donuts is here to stay.

    It had been a long time since I’ve had a doughnut, honestly. Unless you make them yourself, it’s generally hard to find vegan doughnuts. However, Stan’s Donuts & Coffee has a couple options to choose from! I had the chocolate and the cinnamon sugar. The chocolate is more akin to a traditional cake doughnut, but not quite as heavy on the body. The cinnamon sugar was light and fluffy and I could easily see myself crushing a half dozen of those one day. Both were fantastic. I also grabbed myself a hash brown to counterbalance all the sweet. A little dash of salt and pepper and it was a wonderful way to wrap up. Top notch all around, here.

    I can't judge too much as I just stopped in and only tried their cronut. Great looking atmosphere and HUGE selection of donuts. The cronut was my first one and while the outside was crispy and sugary delicious, I had expected a more flaky inside. Instead it was a more chewy texture. Still - I would love to come back and try more of their huge variety.

    Stopped by Tuesday morning and enjoyed a Frozen Hot Chocolate and a Chocolate Long John, both were so good! The vibe inside was really chill & the staff was nice. I'm a big fan of anything chocolate & this did not disappoint. Parking was pretty tight, but people are going in and out so it's easy to find a spot quickly. You also have to pay for parking, but can probably avoid it if you have someone wait in the car. Will definitely go back!

    First time ever at a Stan's Donuts. Stopped in while waiting for my Damen Ave. bus to arrive. Ordered 1 Boston Cream to go. Delicious. Right amount of vanilla cream and topped with just the right amount of chocolate. Will definitely go back. Want to try one of their specialty croissants. Thanks!

    The coffee was great, and the staff was super nice. I love visiting different coffee shops, and this was a treat. We got an old-fashioned donut and a croissant donut. The croissant donut was way better, but just my opinion. Will visit again when we go back!

    We arrived around 20 mins before they closed shop and picked some donuts(not much variety but understandable considering they closed in 20). We weren’t expecting them to be fresh out the oven good but considering they had been sitting for I assume all day. They were really good! A great donut and had me wonder how it tasted early in the morning and what other donuts they have! Definitely intrigued to give this place another try but in the morning this time around!

    Great place to get a donut and coffee whether you're on the way to work or need a fix in the middle of the day. There's also sandwiches and other items on offer, and the donuts rotate flavors often so there's always going to be something new. Its a great spot for people watching as well should you choose to eat in. Also please, please bring back the blueberry fritter 🫐

    If you don’t go to Stan’s Donuts did you even go to Chicago? Amazing donuts, I really enjoy that they have a large selection. The staff is very nice and this location is pretty quiet and a good place to enjoy a good donut. My favorite flavors are red velvet and birthday cake.

    Mouth watering donuts.you will get a wide variety of tasty Donuts, tried the classic glazed chocolate & the Carrot cake , highly recommend.

    Extremely rude staff asked for my ID for a pickup order! Wouldn’t let me take my donuts. Needlessly played power games and made me wait instead of letting me take my donuts when the point of ordering ahead was so I could grab and go. When I complained to management they admitted non of this was regular protocol, and pretended to “investigate” the issue. Nothing came of it. Offered me free donuts. I was too uncomfortable to even come back in the store after how I was treated. Not worth the second rate donuts to deal with these people. Used to bring these in for clients but no one gets excited for Stan’s donuts anymore. Please support one of the many great bake shops in the area that aren’t racist!

    Unpopular opinion: What’s with Chicago not having many donut shops?? My husband and I moved here a few months ago, and we’re STARVED for good donut shops. This is a chain with lots around town, but I prefer the classic donut shops where it’s more of a hole-in-the-wall. We’ve gone here a few times and each time the donuts are a little hard. But maybe you have to get there immediately when it opens in the morning for fresh donuts. The croissant donut was pretty good, but $5? Highway robbery. I miss St. Louis’s Italian donut shops on The Hill where they’re only $1! I will say, I love the vibe and decor though!

    This place is simply amazing. A must stop IMO. My husband and the Nutella donut and a croissant and loved the donut. He said it was great without being over powering. My daughter had the cinnamon roll and the pretzel donut and said the cinnamon roll was perfection. I have the croissant donut and holy hell. My husband stole half of it and I’m sad I didn’t see him chowing it down. The cream inside is perfect. Then I had the apple fritter and it is literally the best one I’ve had. Nice pieces of juicy apples with a delicious glaze. Our coffees were all delicious as well. Good strong mocha. Finally the people that work there especially the nice man taking our donut order. He was patient kind and a smile that lit up the place. Definitely will be coming back.

    Just because I’m obese doesn’t mean I’m not picky eater. This place is wonderful. Pistachio donuts were the best. Pistachios are good for you.

    Yummy! Service was quick. It was pretty busy but so worth the wait. So many delicious things to choose from!

    Stopped in for a quick breakfast, and was greeted by their lovely staff and exceptional service. The food was fast, warm and delicious. Their customer service was warm and sweet, just like the donuts they serve. Thanks for making my morning! Looking forward to stopping by again.

    Came here with my kids for my sons birthday breakfast. We took the train and got off and it was right there. Such great food, seriously give them all of your money. The employees were so friendly and nice as well. I can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

  • 4/5 Emmanuel L. 2 years ago on Google
    We came right when they were closing so there wasn’t many donuts to choose from. We had the glazed donut. Everyone liked it but I think we would have enjoyed it more if it was a fresh batch. I have to come back at a better time.

  • 5/5 Roxanne R. 1 year ago on Google
    The best, hands down! Service is on-point, prices are good and the sweet treat selection is vast. Personally recommend the GF Blueberry donut

    Love the Nutella banana donut, that day I had hot coffe today (my third time) I got the coffe shake and it is amazing, when looking for a real coffe flavor that is it. On the second time we had sandwiches for breakfast, those were on pretzels; delicious! I havent try anything that dissapoints, it seems everything is real good here!

    Cutest little coffee shop near my house. Their donuts are amazing I've been here twice. Love the hot chocolate & caramel frappe!! Super friendly staff. I'll be happy when they're allowed indoor dining cause those donut stools look cozy!🍩

    Delicious donuts. Absolutely delicious. I wish Stan's donuts was on the East Coast(Boston Preferably) So many choices. And very friendly staff. I shared a variety dozen with my friends and the whole box was gone within 20 minutes. The gluten free donuts are just as good as the regular ones. Love the prices. So every time I visit Chicago I'll make sure to stop by Stan's donuts and coffee. And you should too.

    Delicious donuts, even in the afternoon when they've been sitting out for a while. Nice aesthetic to boot.

  • 5/5 MJ K. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the busiest Stan’s Donuts location near the Blue line Damen stop and my favorite dance studio, Mazi — I just happened to visit it when it was empty…🫢 A colorful, fun location to be in, where you can have solid donuts with good coffee (I usually go for the cold brew ☕️)! They change the specialty donuts from time to time, but I do love their lemon pistachio old-fashioned which is always available (unless they are sold out)🍩. Originated from California but transformed in Chicago, I’d say, and I do think it’s worth a visit if in town 🥰!

  • 5/5 Emily 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I are currently in Chicago on vacation, and decided to try this based on the reviews. The biscoff pocket is absolutely amazing. The best donut I’ve ever had. I hope this donut flavor never goes away. We’re completely impressed and plan to come back again and again!
