    Cute and not busy for a Stan location
    N S.

    Stans was great when it arrived from Los Angles and now too big. Donuts are not fresh. $7 for two below average donuts. ?? Also this location. Two of the three napkin holders :empty. When u op shop in am ! Please refill the basics. That is how customers return ! And the place was not busy for early am. So this prompted a call to the store and I informed them that it's rare for us to never finish a donuts that felt like it was stale. The person that answered indicates they are baked @ the factory over night in Alsip. Well this Deliverly felt like it was Monday or Sunday's donuts. Just saying.

    Ordered 2 dozen for work on a Wednesday and shout out to Mary - she was super professional and friendly - she just gave the positive vibes. Delicious donuts conveniently located at Mariano's without you having to go all through the market to get to Stan's. The team there kept things in the seating area tidy and bright!

    Each doughnut that we tried. The Pistachio/Lemon is missing because I ate it. The Biscoff was already discarded to the trash.

    The fat boy is back with another review. This morning I had a craving for some good donuts. My usual spot is closed on Sunday so I figured I try Stan's out. The donuts look really good in the pictures. I went early 6:48 am. It's a nice small place that smells absolutely amazing. Nice display of the fresh donuts. They sell 3 different varieties. The standard, specialties( old fashioned ) & the Dough-Boys. I got a half dozen. ( strawberry glazed, chocolate & vanilla glazed, pistachio/lemon old fashioned, blueberry old fashioned, Biscoff pocket & a blueberry pocket) all the donuts were a bit denser than donuts I'm used to. The two glazed were just ok maybe 5/10 maybe, the blueberry old fashioned taste like a sweeter version of a blueberry muffin not bad but not mind blowing either 5/10. Both pocket donuts were also meh both 4/10 My favorite was the pistachio/lemon old fashioned donut!! 7/10 flavor was packed with Lemon and pistachio. Nice crunchy edges. The service was also meh. 4/10. But when you get mediocre service then it saves you money from not tipping. Meh service =$0 tip. All in All this was enough for me NOT to return. 5/10 overall. Remember Yelpers: ALL REVIEWS ARE SUBJECTIVE!

    absolutely delicious visited during my chicago trip and it was so delicious! the donuts were beyond delicious don't know if i can settle with dunkin' anymore!

    Amazing Place With Chris being the GM (General manager) and today was a free cruffin with a purchase. Chris was wonderful! His concoction of cold brew was yummy with Soy milk and sugar. I'll definitely come back for the cruffins and cronuts and mini donuts. This location is right across from Peoria butchers and there is free parking right next to Stans donuts. We loved the vanilla (smooth and creamy) and raspberry (has real raspberry seeds outside of the jelly like filling) Crafton because there were so much filling and this is such a treat because most places have very little filling and I never ever go to them again after realizing they put a tiny of cream. But this is our style of eating with lots of stuff. You definitely feel like you get your money worth, and the taste of the filling was great. There is outdoor seating and no indoor seating and it's nice and air-conditioned inside the store.

    Stan is the man. I believe this is a Chicago born and bred place and for classic style donuts, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better place. ATMOSPHERE/ARCHITECTURE: 7/10 Fairly typical appearance that you'd expect from a donut shop when you walk in. There's a counter top that separates you from shelves and shelves of that delectable sweet and fried tasty treat. SERVICE: 7/10 As expected. Staff had some good recommendations and were friendly. FOOD: 9/10 Nutella Banana Pocket - 9/10 - Concentrated goodness. This thing is DENSE, HEAVY, but most of all, it is delicious. Bananas and Nutella, already a match made in heaven wrapped up in nice donut with chocolate glaze. Win win. VALUE: 6/10 Their donuts are on the slightly expensive size compared to similar offerings, but the quality is made for here. PROBABILITY OF RETURN: 10/10 I probably eat here more than I should. TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT: Eat the donuts! OVERALL: 8/10

    This Stan's Donuts & Coffee sits on my run route headed downtown Chicago. Every time I run past it, I am always tempted to say the hell with the run and just go and have a donut instead. If I ended up doing that then I would have had to walk back towards the starting point of my run as a result of the indulgence. I knew that at some point I would give in and visit this location whether it be during or post completion of a run because it always catches my eye. While looking at their menu via Yelp, I noted that they had a plant-based sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich which built that interest to visit post completion of my run. So, via Yelp, I ordered their Plant-Based Sausage, Egg & Cheese Stanwich w/ a Iced Tea (Black Tea). I smirked prior to picking my order up while looking at the donuts because I knew that I was not leaving without purchasing one. If I were an emoji, I would have definitely been the emoji with hearts in replace of my eyes because those donuts had my interest. I ended up getting the Vegan Chocolate Donut because it is vegan, and the fact that I couldn't recall ever having vegan chocolate. The Plant-Based Sausage, Egg & Cheese Stanwich was sloppy! Or at least the egg portion of it, but overall, it was delicious! Now that I have discovered that Stan's has a plant-based sandwich option I am quite positive I will visit either of its locations in the city of Chicago for it again. And as for the Vegan Chocolate Donut, I had the biggest smirk on my face after taking each enjoyable bite of it. I had a pleasant ordering experience at this Stan's Donuts & Coffee location. And as stated in this review, I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again whenever in the area or at any other Stan's location throughout the city of Chicago. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

    Hands down the worst donut/dessert place I have ever been to. As a donut lover, I am easily pleased by most donuts. I have never had a donut I did not like...until today. I ordered my favorite, Boston creme, and it was disgusting. The custard in the middle was sour, the donut tasted stale, and the chocolate on top was dark chocolate but also tasted stale. I had a few bites and threw it away. I probably got food poisoning...TBD. I also ordered the mango dragonfruit sipper and it looked aesthetically pleasing. The looks were the only thing it had going for it, as it was also disgusting- it tasted extremely artificial and the syrup was too strong. I had one sip and almost threw up. Overall horrible experience. Maybe I ordered the wrong items off of the menu or it's just this location, but I will definitely not be back. The staff member was friendly which is why i gave 1 star. The food deserved 0.

    Many thanks to the Stan's Donut team. I appreciate the prompt response as well as listening to me as I expounded on my experience.

    When I arrived in the West Loop of Chicago and saw a donut shop on the map called "Stan's Donuts" I knew I HAD to go because Stan is the name of my favorite dog! Stan's did not disappoint! I ordered breakfast sandwiches and an assorted dozen. The bill was somewhat expensive, but we enjoyed every bit of it! I have to say, I enjoyed the sandwiches more that the donuts, but why not get both?! I say, go here for the sandwiches and donuts, but skip the coffee.

    Love their donuts, hate their service. I live next door and every time I go in they seem genuinely annoyed that a customer walked in. Donuts are great though and they have some really yummy fall drinks.

    these doughnuts are still amazing and a consistent stop every time we are in chicago…read more i am not a fan of jelly/jam in doughnuts but the way that beacon doughnuts does it has changed my opinion. the blueberry pancake doughnut is your traditional doughnut shape with a hole but they somehow filled it with jam still. magic i think. the doughnuts are decadent, delicious, to die for. the chocolate glazed brioche is a new favorite of mine. it's an airy yeast doughnut which i prefer over cake doughnuts. the chocolate frosting is rich and the sweetness of the glaze balances out the chocolate.

    Beacon is in a class all by itself. Each donut is artistically and thoughtfully made and there are…read morecommunity favorites but they do have specialty donuts that appear for the season or a short period of time.. They operate out of an alley but don't be afraid, this is Lincoln Park and it's clean and families are frequent customers. No drug deals going on here!! As everyone else has suggested, order these online and pick them up at your desired time. By doing this, you get exactly what you want as they do sell out and when they're out, that's it for the day. :) Enjoy these in the car, whilst you're parked or weaving in and out of I-94 traffic, or better yet !!- at home, with a home made latte.. My favorites were, in no particular order: 1 guava cheese danish 2 vanilla bean cronut 3 blueberry pancake 4 apple fritter 5 chocolate ganache 6 Boston cream I guess I put them in order.. FYI, personally, I would pass on the banana bread and chocolate donut. I hope to be back as soon as possible as Beacon differentiates itself from the Big Boys (DoRite, Stan's, and Firecakes), as well as the family owned/neighborhood donut shops.

    Let me start by saying that Firecakes on Clark, in Lincoln Park, is so much better than the one on…read moreHubbard, in the Loop. No offense, the reason I say that is because the employees at this Clark location are so friendly and chill. I like that type of service, don't you?? In comparison to Beacons, Stan's, Voodoo's, and Do-Rite's, I would also say that Firecakes is in the top three (3). They are less commercialized, less over the top, and the simplicity in the Tahitian Vanilla epitomizes this type of donut shop. They're a throwback to a classic neighborhood place to come to, for these treats. My favorites, in no particular order are: - Cannoli donut (4) - Birthday cake donut (5) - Apple fritter (2) - Tahitian Vanilla (number 1) - Cinnamon roll (3)...I decided to rank them... And that we have, we've come back at least 10 times and this is a quick drive on I-94 into the city or take Lake Shore Drive - just put the pedal to the metal and go and get a bunch. Eat them on the way back home, eat one in the garage before the garage door closes. Fire up the espresso machine, froth up that milk, cuz - we got Firecakes donuts y'all!!
