Editorial Review for Stan's Corner Donut Shoppe – by Phillip Mendelsohn
The Scene
A tiny, nondescript corner counter tucked discreetly across the street from two gigantic movie palaces, Stan's turns out some of Los Angeles' most original doughnuts. UCLA students, cops and those in the know have been making the pilgrimage for 36 years.
The Food
Stan's has built its spotless reputation on a huge, reasonably priced variety of transcendent fried goodies, perfecting unlikely flavor combinations, like Reese's chocolate-peanut butter pockets. In the wrong hands, these concoctions could turn out cloying, but the sweetness of milk chocolate balances the richness of peanut butter, playing off a crispy background of lightly fried dough. The cinnamon-chocolate-chip roll, covered with milk chocolate glaze and tiny chocolate chips, is spiked with spicy cinnamon.

Everytime I go to Westwood I HAVE to stop by here. The smell carries from across the street and you follow it to end up here. I always buy a dozen little donuts for only $3 and share them with my sister. They are beyond delicious and what I wish I could wake up and eat every morning!! While they are fattening, they are totally worth it.
Pros: AMAZING food, quick service
Cons: parking (but its the same as anything in westwood)

I remember passing by this corner donut shop, seeing a sign that said "Life is too uncertain... eat desserts first," and I was sold. My friends and I went to this small shop, and there was a case of delicious, fatty looking desserts. I couldn't resist and ordered a churro stick, which was scrumptious. Sometimes the Pinkberry in all it's healthy glory can get tiring, so if you want to indulge in REAL desserts, come to this place.
Pros: delicious desserts
Cons: fattening
