Stan's Donuts & Coffee

Stan's Donuts & Coffee in Chicago undoubtedly earns a solid four-star rating from me, primarily due to the consistently delectable quality of their donuts. Each visit has been a delightful journey for my taste buds, with their donuts boasting flavors that are nothing short of exceptional. From classic favorites to unique and innovative creations, Stan's has mastered the art of crafting irresistible donuts. However, the one aspect that leaves me scratching my head is the consistently unfriendly demeanor of the employees. It's a perplexing contrast to the delightful experience that the donuts themselves offer. Whether it's a lack of smiles or a general sense of disinterest, the customer service aspect could use a significant improvement. While I can't quite grasp why the employees seem less than enthusiastic, it's a testament to the sheer brilliance of the donuts that I continue to frequent Stan's. The quality of the product has managed to overshadow the less-than-ideal interactions with the staff. It's my hope that the management takes note of this aspect and works towards creating a more welcoming and customer-centric atmosphere. In terms of the physical space, the ambiance at Stan's is charming. The cozy interior coupled with the tantalizing aroma of fresh donuts creates a pleasant environment for enjoying these sweet treats. The variety of options available ensures that there's something to satisfy every craving, making Stan's a go-to spot for indulging in delicious pastries. In conclusion, Stan's Donuts & Coffee deserves high praise for its mouthwatering donuts, securing a solid four-star rating. The only drawback lies in the consistently unfriendly demeanor of the employees, a factor that keeps this review from reaching a perfect score. Despite this, the allure of Stan's irresistible donuts remains, making it a worthwhile destination for any donut enthusiast in Chicago.

Fantastic donuts. We tried way too many over a couple visits while we were in town. Honestly, the old-fashioneds are where it’s at. But that’s really splitting hairs. We didn’t have a bad donut. (I’m trying to think, have I EVER had a bad donut?) Anyway. It’s great. If you are in the mood for a donut this place will sort you out.

Great spot for a quick coffee to go or you can stick around and enjoy a breakfast sandwich. The original sandwich had eggs and bacon and it’s far superior to what you would find most places. The bacon was crispy and the eggs were cooked well. I stuck around and worked a little on the laptop. WiFi speed is fast. There aren’t too many seats but it was worth waiting around. The black coffee is strong and they are known for their cold brew on tap. You can buy a mini growler for $13 and refill for $10. I didn’t try a doughnut on this visit but they look delicious.

I went this location 8/13/2023 and I had the opportunity to visit early in the morning. When I first visited it was pretty crowded but it was a big selection of fresh donuts. I had little hard time choosing which donuts I wanted. I decided to get the Carrot Cake And Red Velvet. I really did enjoy my morning here and I will definitely be back.

I've had donuts, but both like this. When I tell you they're worth every penny spent, they really are. I enjoy fresh made food always, so I was delighted to see that their donuts are made right there in store. So many flavors and not to mention they even have cookies now. SAY WHAT !!! This location was clean, the staff was very kind and friendly, not to mention the donuts are phenomenal. You can't go wrong with this location

I'd never heard of Stan's Donuts & Coffee but was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, apparently it's a Chicago chain. There was a long line to order but the workers were efficient and moved everyone through quickly. I got the cinnamon sugar cake which was absolutely delicious. I am pretty picky about donuts and this definitely delivered. For vegans out there, they do a vegan cinnamon sugar cake donut and a chocolate vegan donut.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the donuts at Stan's! During our visit to Chicago, it served as a place that was open early enough on our last day that I could quickly grab a donut and coffee before needing to leave for the airport. However, I later wished I had time to explore some of their other flavors. There was a wide variety of donut flavors available to appeal to most tastes, and there was a coffee bar inside with a multitude of coffee options as well.
