Reviews for Stan's Donut Shop in Santa Clara, CA
Nothing scratches the itch quite like a good classic donut. I?m not sure why, but when I crave sweets I crave DONUTS. Traveling... through the Bay Area I had to check out the best donut shop and Yelp told me this was it! We cruised in early and got half adozen fresh and hot donuts. They literally melt in your mouth. I?ve never had a better classic donut than these! Read more
Finally had the chance to try Stan?s donut shop. Came here in the morning at about 5:30Am and there was already a line... starting. But atleast when the shop opened up, the line moved fast I got the glazed and chocolate donuts, I can recommend theglazed donut it was really good and cakey, one or 2 will easily fill you up. Their coffee wasn?t bad, wasn?t amazing either,just regular coffee Only disappointment is why it opens so late, maple leaf on Saratoga avenue opens at 4:30Am and bad placesto sit and eat inside , Would come back here if it?s on my way through but not to drive out just for donuts Read more
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. TheJelly 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 ifwe wanted them (even though they typically only have it on the menu on monday, tuesday, wednesdays as it is more time consumingto cook them). We were over the moon when he decided to make us some donut holes. Some other customers at the counter seatswere also overjoyed to be able to snag a couple of donut holes that morning. The service from all the staff at Stan's is greatdespite their popularity and crowd. They made my day!!! As a tourist from Singapore, I have to say Stan's donuts beats anyother 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'mnow home in Singapore and purposefully writing a review as i'm missing the taste of their fresh donuts. Highly highly highlyrecommended! 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 trytheir 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 foreveryone and differing levels of sweet tolerance! (In case you've heard of Randy's donuts in Los Angeles, the famous Read more
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. Thechocolate tasted like real chocolate and not the spread the other places use. Sadly I don?t live anywhere close to this gem butwould come back here again and again. Read more
So life is expensive these days. I don?t go out as much anymore. This one is worth it though and it won?t break the bank. This... is a fresh, fluffy, light, with just the right amount of sweet maple donut. And their bars are legit gold bar sized donuts.Where can you find a place like this these days. Everything is all mega corporate which is fine, but when you have a place likethis nearby, this is where you should go. You go because it is just good and it?s not going to stop being this good.

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 thecinnamon twists were so incredibly fluffy. They have to be the best donuts I?ve ever had!! I also got a rainbow chocolatesprinkle, chocolate, glazed old fashion, and maple. These were a little denser, but still soft. They were too sweet for me, butif 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 inthe morning. Though I?d only get the original glazed and cinnamon twists again, I?d happily buy a dozen of each!! Read more
