Stan's Donuts & Coffee

Another great Stan's Donuts location with very possibly my favorite donut, the Biscoff Pocket! We stopped in here while in the area on a weekend trip and found it within walking distance of many things in the Magnificant Mile area. Very close to the Northwestern campus makes it a great location for any college students and for medical facilities nearby as well. The location should be visited early if you want to get any of the more popular donuts as we tried visiting here in the evening & found them out of a few different things. I would highly recommend Stan's for any of their unique donuts like the Le Stan croissant donut and the biscoff pocket but they have other donuts that aren't offered elsewhere. While I love Dunkin' Donuts, Stan's offers things that you can't find at other places making them worth the stop anytime we are anywhere near one of their locations.

If you’re going to go to Stan’s donuts, go to this location. Beautiful inside and out. I would suggest to not get standard donuts. Paying three dollars for a standard donut that you can get at Dunkin for half the price doesn’t make sense. Get the doughboy or the specialty donuts. Those are worth trying for sure. Google maps directions might mess you up getting here. This store is above on Grand Avenue and not on the street below.

Great options available even late in the morning. Plenty of seating inside with fun decor and a bit of an old-time industrial vibe. Helpful staff. Dough was tasty, obviously made by hand and fresh. Cream filling was not overpoweringly sweet, which was a welcome detail. It was a bit difficult to find the right door, since it shares a building with Labriola and their outdoor seating obscures Stan’s windows. Just walk down to the end and it’s there.

My first visit to Chicago was in February, and I stopped by Stan’s for a quick breakfast treat. Throughly enjoyed it! Quick service and delicious. I got a blueberry old fashioned donut and a hot coffee, and I was out the door in about 15 minutes during a very busy time. I still dream of that donut LOL. I would definitely recommend and will definitely return next time I’m in town!
