Stans Donuts and Coffee

Stan's Donuts & Coffee is a renowned bakery and café chain based in Chicago, Illinois, celebrated for its freshly made donuts and high-quality coffee offerings. Established in 2014 by master baker Rich Labriola, the first location was opened in partnership with Stan Berman, the founder of the iconic Los Angeles donut shop with the same name.

The company has since expanded to multiple locations across the Chicagoland area. Each location offers a diverse selection of award-winning donuts, including yeasted, cake, and old-fashioned varieties.

In addition to signature donuts, Stan's Donuts & Coffee provides specialty items such as dunkable cookies, decadent ice cream shakes, and a full lineup of breakfast options. They also offer vegan and "gluten-less" options to cater to various dietary preferences.

Commitment to Quality

A key aspect of Stan's success is its use of high-quality ingredients. Rich Labriola utilizes fresh butter, eggs, and vanilla to ensure the tastiest experience possible.

The company emphasizes excellent coffee, partnering with local roasters like Big Shoulders Coffee. Their coffee menu features classic cappuccinos and unique creations, such as the "Chocolate Lightning," made with their cold brew and a proprietary chocolate milk blend.

Product Innovations

In 2020, the company introduced its own cold brew, medium roasted to produce a smooth and delicate profile with nutty and chocolaty tones. This highlights their dedication to quality and innovation.

Collaborations

Stan's has engaged in notable collaborations, including a 2023 partnership with Morton Salt to create the exclusive Salted Caramel Old Fashioned donut. This combines their traditional recipe with caramel glaze and Morton Coarse Sea Salt.

The company currently operates in the following location:

• Skokie, IL, USA

Stan's Donuts & Coffee remains a beloved destination for donut and coffee enthusiasts in the Chicago area, focused on quality, innovation, and community engagement.
