About Stan's Donuts & Coffee

Stan's Donuts & Coffee serves freshly made donuts of extraordinary flavors and textures and an excellent cup of joe. In 1963, Stan Berman opened his eponymous donut shop in Los Angeles, continuing a generations-long family tradition of baking. His donuts quickly became legendary in the Los Angeles area. Meanwhile, in Chicago, Rich Labriola followed a passion for all things bread to create one of the most renowned bakeries in the Chicago area from the ground up. After seeing Stan on a travel show, Rich reached out to Stan and the two became friends over their shared passion. The friendship turned into a partnership as Stan passed the torch to Rich, who opened the first Stan's Donuts & Coffee in Chicago in 2014 with his own recipes inspired by Stan's classics. Since then, Stan's has grown to 16 shops (and growing) in the Chicago area. For more information, visit stansdonuts.com or follow Stan's on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
