Stan's Donuts & Coffee

"We like going to Stan’s when we want a lot of variety or a donut that sounds like it was created by an eight-year-old. For example, they have a caramel marshmallow, Cap’n crunch, and our personal favorite, the biscoff (a.k.a. cookie butter-filled) pocket. If you don’t feel like feeding your inner child, consider ordering something like their pretzel-glazed or the pistachio old fashioned." - adrian kane, john ringor

"Stan's is new to the neighborhood, but definitely not easily missed. They've made their presence unmistakably known by filling the air at Clark and Diversey with the irresistible smell of fresh donuts. Stan's bright interior is reminiscent of a retro diner, with a wall of colorful Kitchen Aid mixers and pink packaging. They've definitely chosen the gourmet creative route with donuts like maple caramel bacon, captain crunch and peanut butter-banana, although you really can't beat their classic old fashioned. Stan’s makes donuts throughout the day so you can always get your fix, but if you get there early enough there are also gluten free and vegan options available. Be warned: A single Stan’s donut will spoil you for life." - Stephen Merlo
