What goes better with a decadent donut than coffee? Not only do we take pride in whipping up some of the best donuts Chicagoland has to offer, but we also want to be known for our plethora of coffee options as well. Our first Stan’s location opened in 2014 and founder Rich Labriola had a vision from the get-go of creating a go-to coffee and donut shop with a local neighborhood feel.

While we had an easy time creating high-quality donuts for everyone to enjoy, we needed a hand with producing the coffee. In order to bring high-quality coffee vendors into the mix, Rich began building relationships with people in the coffee industry that shared his passion for creating quality products, which is where he stumbled upon a Chicago roaster called Big Shoulders Coffee. Big Shoulders is known for producing high-quality coffee without the extra fluff, utilizing a single-origin bean that comes straight from their partners in rural Brazil.
