    Biscoff Pocket in the background was delicious. Buttercream Bismark front left and Vanilla Glazed Cruller the other 3 in front.

    Third stop downtown on the Chicago donut tour. I've been to Stans a couple of times and they do alright. Here are my thoughts: 1: They have some creative specialty donuts. 2. Not my go to for a solid glazed donut. 3. The biscotti pocket was huge and tasted great. 4. The vanilla glazed cruller was okay, but not a fan of crullers in general as well as the buttercream bismark. Lots of space on the inside to sit and enjoy. They also offer a selection of food, drinks, snacks, and gelato.

    This place has it all! Donuts, WiFi, bathrooms, coffee, oh my! Why do you need to go to the 'bucks! Maybe power? Tho I wasn't looking for outlets. I was too busy licking the crème from the awesome donut. Or if you want a healthy option, they have peanut butter doughnuts too! Wait... is it doughnuts or donuts? Thanks Siri. You create more questions than you have answers for them! I almost forgot! They have more seating than that coffee shop across the street. Check 'em out! Solid A

    Ordered via DoorDash pickup here on a Saturday morning. Located 2 blocks from our hotel, it was an easy walk. So to speak. Ordered a 6 pack - blueberry, lemon-pistachio, carrot cake, red velvet, birthday cake, and buttercream filled. All the donuts were great - blueberry and cream filled my two favorites. But above that, upon pickup, the guy working Saturday morning was very friendly. Appreciated it.

    We came to Stan's twice during our short weekend in magnificent mile. The donuts were amazing. We had coffee, and the following donuts: the Boston crème, apple fritter, buttercream Bismark, and an old fashion. I recommend this cute spot if you're ever passing through!

    It seems difficult to believe that Stan's Donuts & Coffee debuted in Chicago over a decade ago, but now with myriad locations spanning from Millennium Park to Oak Brook the brand from Westwood Village is seemingly trying to compete with Dunkin for Windy City Breakfast business. Already having visited the 181 North Michigan Avenue flagship, that at 535 far smaller as an addition to Labriola on the Grand Avenue overpass, guests can still expect to find a full array of sweets like faultless Carrot Cake alongside odd new additions like Quesadillas and Frappes. Certainly not the cheapest of Donut Shops, "Standards" beginning at $1.95 and choices topping out with Stan's spin on Ansel's Cronut, "Mini" versions of Cake Rings prove comparable to the full-size versions while the Fritter and Cruller each seemed a bit more oily than prior.

    There are quite a few Stan's in the area, but this one was quiet, quick service and with some seating if one wanted to stay in. We started off with a responsible breakfast with the pretzel sandwich with egg, which made for a tasty and filling breakfast. Then onto dessert breakfast! The toffee cake donut was sweet and crunchy. The buttercream bismark was filled with creamy goodness. They had a large array of donuts, so there is something for every sweet tooth. I love the vintage feel of the Stan's branding. Luckily when we went it wasn't busy, but there was only one staff person preparing everything. Be careful indulging too much, but the donuts are delicious and unique.

    There are multiple locations of Stan's donuts throughout the downtown area, I don't suggest going to this one...especially during peak morning hours. This Stan's is attached to an Italian restaurant which causes this place to be super small and compact. Barely any seating so it's more of a grab n go kinda spot. One star for having cute St Patrick's day donuts. One star for the relatively friendly male cashier. Go to a different location if you want somewhere to sit and enjoy your food and drinks.

    First time I've tired Stan's donuts in Chicago and I must say that it's a must try! The dough that they use to make the donut is almost flaky and croissant like. I usually don't like stuffed donuts but this was amazing. The donut was stuffed perfectly all around. I got to try the biscoff cookie filled donut and it was basically biscoff cookie paste in a donut! I also tried the Nutella filled donut and it's like the description says def filled with lots of Nutella! I will say the donuts are a bit sweet but pair perfectly with their coffee. Their cold brew/coffee has no sour after taste which I love,

    I love Stan's Donuts when I visited Chicago last time. I obviously didnt get a chance to have all their donut options but I did try their PB&J and their Chocolate flavor ones and I enjoy them very much. The donuts are heavy and dense so i had to eat it over several settings and i think they are great for sharing. Would definitely return to try other flavors!

    I've been to multiple stands donut locations around the city, and this one is always my favorite. Something about it is just so cute and charming. Definitely much quieter than the one on MI Ave in the loop or the one closer to Gold Coast or even the one in Streeterville. Came here on Christmas Eve to get our Christmas donuts and the guy working was so patient and kind as we picked our donuts. I was very happy. They were fully stocked with my favorites, the buttercream Bismarck, and the Biscoff pocket. Stopped in today on a whim was really craving bacon and asked if they sold it just bacon by itself . Shout out to the young girl who was so kind and said that she would make it happen for me. The bacon came out piping hot & was delicious!!! I ran out before I could buy any donuts, a first for me!

    Donuts... they are amazing!
    Darcy W.

    Yes, yes and more yes!! These donuts are worth every single calorie! When you are sick of Starbucks and want to try something new and fresh this is your place. We also tried the breakfast sandwich which was also delicious . When I'm in Chicago sorry Starbucks we are officially broken up!

    Look, milkshakes come topped with a mini donut!

    Best donuts in Chi-town dare I say, others have voted the same (Thrillist and in Chicago's Best lists). The made from scratch donut variety here is amazing. Traditional glazed, strawberry, and apple fritters are on display but they also have specialty donuts -- like the pretzel donut, dough boys best, peanut butter pocket and a fantastic cherry topped cherry cream filling. I was on the longest sugar high after visiting. The roasted coffee was also a stand out. So many flavors to choose from, it was hard to choose just one! Even my kids needed a moment. I've never seen them so strategic in trying to order. We opted for the PB&J donut, the cherry topped glazed cherry cream donut and the red velvet donut. The size of these donuts do not disappoint, totally shareable. The thickness alone makes this donut shop a standout place. Wish we could've sat down for a meal as well. There were traditional bacon, egg and cheese Sammie's as well as grilled cheese Sammie's. This location shared the space of a neighboring Italian restaurant so seating was limited to about a few tables. But if you're patient, it is a short wait. Complimentary water available on the counter for those who need a refresher. We loved our first visit so much, we just had to stop in one more time before heading for the airport. Strawberry was the choice. So good, it's a Classic. Stan's is a must try in Chicago! Several locations around the Loop, so pick one!

    I'm a sucker for a good donut and I'd read that Stan's was the place to get one in Chicago. They have a great assortment of donuts and I chose one of my favorites: a Boston cream. I also got a side of hash browns because I love having something salty with something sweet. Both were great and I'd love to come back on a future Chicago trip.

My most favorite sweet treat. I am sure there are some reasonably priced things here. But I paid $10 for the smallest (but very tasty) tiramisu.

The carbonara pasta had a bit too much chew for me (admittedly most probably would like it that al dente), and the flavor was, while pretty good at first, by the fifth bite overwhelming. My companion had the spinach ravioli which she said was "drowned in butter". The service and the ambiance are nothing but chaotic. The layout lends to the chaos with everything seemingly laid out circularly. Italian groceries are everywhere as are shoppers. It's on TWO chaotic levels in fact. The service is engineered efficiency with tables cleared and reset literally within 60 seconds of diners standing up to leave. Entrees and pizza are priced about as expected in downtown Chicago, but $16 for 5oz of $12 chard is a bit much, as is $17 for a mojito. I'll reserve final judgment on the brand until we experience the King of Prussia PA location but as for Chicago, meh.

Cafecito would be at home in a pre-revolutionary Cuban building, when Art Deco architecture permeated much of Havana and the other major cities in Cuba. Plenty of outdoor seating, but I chose to eat in the cafe area due to time constraints. I had the Vaca Frita which I haven't had in over 60 years and wow, it was amazing. It came with the proverbial white rice, black beans with plenty of condiment, and maduros. Oh yummy. My Cuban grandma would have been pleased... The waiter was indeed, a Cuban American who had come over during the early Cuban diaspora. We chatted a bunch about the old country and had a pleasant conversation about being from the same province in the island. Great reminiscing, great food, great service. Yum.
