Stan's Donut Shop

I went a little before 7AM on a rainy day and didn’t have to wait at all. I read a review that said that only the original glazed donuts were worth it, but I wanted to get a variety, as it was my first time going. The original glazed donuts and the cinnamon twists were so incredibly fluffy. They have to be the best donuts I’ve ever had!! I also got a rainbow chocolate sprinkle, chocolate, glazed old fashion, and maple. These were a little denser, but still soft. They were too sweet for me, but if you have a major sweet tooth, I’d recommend any of them. Service was quick and the person who helped me was kind so early in the morning. Though I’d only get the original glazed and cinnamon twists again, I’d happily buy a dozen of each!!

I’m a huge fan of the donuts here. The glazed donut is light, fluffy and doughy all at the same time. Also not as sweet as other places. Probably my favorite glazed donut and I’ve tried many. The chocolate with almond was excellent too. The chocolate tasted like real chocolate and not the spread the other places use. Sadly I don’t live anywhere close to this gem but would come back here again and again.

I'm absolutely IN LOVE with Stan's donuts! my first visit was on a Saturday morning at around 9+, while the queue was starting to form, the queue moves very fast and i was placing my order within a short 5minute. The variety they have is amazing. The Jelly donut is so fluffy and a perfect mix of amazing. The glazed is such a wonderful classic, not too sweet, not too thick, perfectly fluffy and melt's in your mouth when you get a freshly made one. I dined in at the counters and happily watched Abe, one of the staff, knead the donut dough. We were so happy with our donuts! Abe saw us pointing at the donut holes and asked if we wanted them (even though they typically only have it on the menu on monday, tuesday, wednesdays as it is more time consuming to cook them). We were over the moon when he decided to make us some donut holes. Some other customers at the counter seats were also overjoyed to be able to snag a couple of donut holes that morning. The service from all the staff at Stan's is great despite their popularity and crowd. They made my day!!! As a tourist from Singapore, I have to say Stan's donuts beats any other donuts i've tried in any other country. I visited Stan's on two occasions during my two month stay in the bay area. I'm now home in Singapore and purposefully writing a review as i'm missing the taste of their fresh donuts. Highly highly highly recommended! Whatever time you visit, however long the queue might be, it's gonna be worth it. On a more practical note, parking is readily available outside of Stan's. Please bring cash, i dont think they accept cards. Please go in hungry and try their glazed and jelly donuts. If you are not a fan of something sweet, you could also ask for a plain one that is unglazed, unsugared. Avoid chocolate or other coated donuts if you are not a fan of sweet stuff too. They have the perfect donut for everyone and differing levels of sweet tolerance! (In case you've heard of Randy's donuts in Los Angeles, the famous one that appeared in the Ironman movie, i have to say, i've tried that too and Stan's beats that by multifolds!!!)

Great dough - The texture of the donut is different from all other shops and is fluffy yet chewy (in a good manner). There is always people lined up, so give yourself enough time
