Another stop on the Donut Trail! I have been going to Stan's since I was little kid, and I've loved it ever since! Their cake donuts are to die for!
Always the best fresh donuts around. If you want to make sure you have the best selection available to you get there EARLY as just about everyone in West Chester knows how good the product is.
I have yet to try a donut from stans. everytime I go there they're out of donuts in the last 3 years. It's all before 10 am too. I just won't ever try again. And obviously won't recommend any one else try. What's the point if there's never any product.
Great donuts. Friendly service
Nice people and good donuts. Bavarian cream was delicious.
I've had more "gourmet" donuts (whatever that means), but not any better. My workplace has been supplying from the local "donut trail" so this isn't coming from a small sample size either. On my own, I've been to other known places in Cinci as well. This is still the best and one of the cheapest. Here's my tip - go from 0900-1000 to avoid the line but while they still have 7-10 variaties of cake donuts. All the basic yeast types go fast and early, so go for the more flavorful and well-made cakes instead. They also have their amazing apple fritters in that timeframe, and their super-secret diet assassin, the pineapple fritter. Get it now!
I had a blueberry cake which was very good and moist verging on under-cooked but it had excellent blueberry flavor that was not too artificial. I also had a chocolate-frosted round cream filled. This one was good but not great. The donut tasted bread-like and the cream flavor was also understated. The overall sweetness of the donuts were lower than usual so there wasn't the "too much sugar" feeling afterward. They could have used just a tad more sweetness, however.
Way better donuts than you will get at Dunkin. The people are friendly. But come early if you want the full sellection.
Unfortunately our first experience was not great. So while the service was kind, we were under the impression that the store was open until 5pm and part of the Donut Trail that we were excited to complete. When we walked in, they had very limited selection remaining and were in the process of closing down before noon. Super confused and disappointed as the kids were hoping for donuts we couldn't get elsewhere. We got the Glazed because that's pretty much all that was left- but we can get glazed anywhere- and they tasted like day old donuts sadly. Overall, disappointed in this selection for the Donut Trail:(
Stan the Donut Man is amazing. Unlike Tom who
posted an unwarranted view of this establishment and claiming that friends were coaxed into leaving reviews is just plain petty. Locals love and embrace this place. Stan's is a place I've be going to for years and years not knowing any staff personally and would recommend this unique donut shop to anyone. The donuts are fresh everyday and they stay open until the donuts are all sold which means some days they sell faster than others, especially on weekends. If you are looking for less than quality donuts all day long I suggest you take yourself to dunk n donuts or Starbucks where they get stale. Personally I not only enjoy fresh donuts but more importantly I support local businesses. All in all keep doing your thing Stan! I'll be coming your way tomorrow to surprise my nieces with your tastey treats!
