Today, I stopped into Stan's, and they had a lot of chocolate and maple bars, so I picked up a chocolate bar. The donut bar is fairly large. It has crispy golden edges where they have been expertly fried in oil. Slightly cooled and covered in a nice layer of chocolate glaze. Yum!

Wow, the donuts there are very good! Especially the glazed donuts! They literally came out of the fryer when I was there yesterday. It was the freshest & best glazed donut I ever had in my life! The Stans donut hype is real! There were about a dozen people in line at the time. The line moved fast. They don't hsve cronuts there & apple fritters are only available two days a week I won't deduct a star for that though. I got 6 donuts for $11. My husband liked the donuts too I had a piece of each donut to try it & everything was good, lol.

Delicious donuts. Gotta go early as they ran out of most items a couple of hours before closing.

The BEST glazed raised. They have other donuts but a warm glazed raised might change your religion. Get there early and bring cash.

Love this place. The donuts are sooo good. My favorite are the glazed and buttermilk donuts. Love sitting at the counter and chatting with the girls (waitress) and people next to you. People there are so friendly. If you're feeling sad any day, go visit the girls and get a cuppa and donuts, it will make your day.Kid-friendliness: Kids love to see all the colorful donuts with sprinkles, chocolate, and different kinds of toppings.

Stan's is a classic local donut shop, with quite possibly the best glazed donut in the world. I have never had one anywhere else that comes close. The prices are low, the donuts are fresh due to the high volume of traffic going through that place, and I can't recommend it enough. I have tried a few other donuts there, but nothing compares to the original glazed.

Amazeballs Cash only ATM available inside Call ahead to place large orders ahead of time - they do sell out of a lot of varieties. Expect lines in the busy morning hours - but it moves fast Glazed are our favorite Fluffy soft donuts. Oh yeahhhh Staff is friendly, patient, and helpful Mostly take out. No tables. Limited counter seating Addicting. You've been warned.
This is a Santa Clara staple...better yet...an entire South Bay staple. Great service and an even better donut. Order ahead if you're going to grab more than a dozen.

There is a reason why these donuts are some of the top ones in the nation. They are very airy, fluffy and tasteful. There was a decent size line but you were not standing in it for too long but very worth it. The cinnamon roll was also just as soft and the buttermilk donut. Let's just say if you have not had Stan's make sure you save some time in your day to run and grab some. They are Amazing !

It's 2024 and your taking cash payments only. The money is so dirty and your clerks don't wash their hands after they take your transaction. Apple Pay, Debit, Credit is hands free payments. Let's get you wired and on the future. I felt like Doc and Marry McFly we're gonna walk in with Biff!Now about your donuts!Yes, they are among the best in Silicon Valley. You have competition. I hear Bob's Donuts in SF is coming to town. They have amazing donuts and cost a bit less. Expected to open in Santana Row soon.So about that ATM.The company that services it informed me Stan's owns the ATM and you guys pay a small fee to the service company. That fee should be waived if we are buying donuts in your establishment since you will not take credit/debit cards. I will keep my receipt for the dints and the ATM. Please let me know your decision. It will make everyone reading this review decide on weather they buy your donuts or go elsewhere. You cannot be that greedy of a business.No done in service, what a shame!

City-wide destination! Sunday morning, and too early for really long lines. Pastries were still warm, huge, and made in front of you as they try to keep up. Amazing place! Do not miss. Prices are VERY reasonable. Kids and adults wildest expectations met, nice job Stan's!
