    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.

    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!

    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!

    Be very careful. They put LARD in the donuts. They should inform the customers that. We have lot of vegetarian and people who can't have pork products.

    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!

    Gosh I wish there was a Stan’s Donuts in Houston. It’s so good and I like the different flavors that they offer. The milkshake that I got - the cookie shake was sooooo delicious!! I live the little donuts they come with.

    Stan’s doughnuts are moist, fresh and thick (not full of air like Crispy Cream Doughnuts). The staff is always welcoming and they carry Martinellis apple juice in the cooler next to the milk. YUMMMMYYYY

    Good coffee, but the Donut's are not vegetarian friendly as they use lard in the recipe. I LOVED it before I knew this, so I am really disappointed. This is the second best donut in Chicago 😂, when I could still eat it. Try the lemon curd Bismarck. It almost wants to make me forget that I am a vegetarian.

    I will start by saying these are the most expensive donuts I've personally purchased. With that said, they are also the best by far! The old fashioned are my favorite but there are always new ones that look amazing as well. I have not had a bad one yet!

    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!

  • 5/5 Michael D. 5 months ago on Google • 158 reviews
    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.

  • 5/5 Ibrahim A. 7 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Mouth watering donuts.you will get a wide variety of tasty Donuts, tried the classic glazed chocolate & the Carrot cake , highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Zuly T. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Eugene B. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome donut flavors that taste amazing! They have good coffee, too.

  • 5/5 Lola L. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 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!

  • 5/5 Graham S. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious donuts, even in the afternoon when they've been sitting out for a while. Nice aesthetic to boot.

  • 5/5 Ash 3 years ago on Google
    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!🍩

  • 5/5 April G. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

  • 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.

  • 3/5 Andrea E. 2 years ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Stanley K. 3 years ago on Google
    I really like these donuts great tasting the best donuts I've ever had.

  • 5/5 Chris K. 3 years ago on Google
    My favorite donuts in the city, and their coffee is great too.

  • 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 Sarah F. 3 years ago on Google
    Always great donuts!! The staff is friendly 😊 and I love the seasonal treats

  • 5/5 Virginia E. 3 years ago on Google
    I wish there were more places like this around town. The service here is outstanding. The prices are good for what you get.

  • 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

  • 3/5 Tiana J. 3 years ago on Google
    I have ordered here before and everything had been great, however this past time was unfortunate. I ordered the random assortment half dozen and I noted the fact that I was highly allergic to tree nuts (I even noted which ones that I saw were in some of the donuts so there was no confusion). Order comes, 3/6 donuts I could not eat. Very disappointing. If it were 1, that would be another story but I couldn't eat half of my order. Everythimg else I ordered was great, and I will order again. Just disappointing this time around :(

  • 1/5 Momo G. 7 months ago on Google
    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!

  • 5/5 Victoria W. 8 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Shelli 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Chad W. 6 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Lenette P. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    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.

    Delicious donuts. Clean and neat place. Friendly and great customer service.

  • 5/5 Nicholas V. 3 years ago on Google
    Stan's donuts aren't just sugar intake mechanisms like other donuts. They're balanced, not too sweet and soooo tasty. Gimme.

  • 5/5 mani t. 3 years ago on Google
    Thanks to the even numbers on my watch, I entered here n had something called turtle. Yummy, sticky, nutty donut n lovely hot chocolate. Very friendly staff n wide variety of fresh donuts. The fragrance can pull you inside from.across the street.

  • 4/5 Jimmy S. 3 years ago on Google
    This donut shop has the best staff. They are very welcoming and super friendly, and they don't rush you. They will give you recommendations if you need help. This place isn't cheap thoug, be prepared to pay a few bucks for one donut.

  • 5/5 Kevin O. 3 years ago on Google
    Best donuts in Chicago.

  • 5/5 Doms M. 3 years ago on Google
    Busy Saturday and I came in sleepy and unsure of what to get but knew I wanted a cute box for my son's bday.. The young lady behind the counter accommodated me and was patient and even put his donuts in a box even though 4 donuts would usually be put in a bag. This sleepy momma was grateful and my son was happy! Donuts were fresh and delicious! Stop in!!

  • 5/5 Geraldine D. 3 years ago on Google
    Every time I visit a new city, I have to try their signature donut shop. There were a few choices in Chicago, but I’m so glad we chose this one. It is retro and charming, and the donuts did not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Luca B. 3 years ago on Google
    Got there near six, it wasn't packed at all. I'll return with my coworkers. The bill was reasonable I would say.

  • 5/5 Matt W. 3 years ago on Google
    Milkshake and donuts are amazing

  • 4/5 Eduardo M. 3 years ago on Google
    I have only been here once but I have been to so many other doughnut shops and there is no comparison. The doughnuts here are fresh and so are all of the other dough edibles. They give samples for you to try. That’s what got me and I am not officially a customer but I always wanted to go back. The xurro place by my house may be playing a role because whenever I want some fresh and delicious sweet dough, I go there. Due to the reason that it is closer than Stan’s, I miss out on having fresh and delicious doughnuts. Doughnuts, the only difference between these two places.
