Did you know that several years before the closure and his passing, Stan sold the brand and recipe to a Chicago outfit? "Stan's Donuts & Coffee" in Chicago is now a chain of 30+ stores. The Berman family will get royalties for many years.

Huell was a National Treasure.

I really really miss him. He was such a genuine person and was so enthusiastic about everything no matter how small.

I was in University City, Westwood ares and wanted to stop by at Stan’s. Should’ve read the comments to find out they where non existent. 😢

Huell had some great programs and genuinely cared for people, I miss his programs and his optimism. .

Huell was one of the most humble and charming person I had ever met. I was supposed to co-host an episode with him about the culture of the Mexican Lucha Libre (wrestling) scene in LA. But it never came to fruition. We played phone tag for while then sadly. he passed. His shows were a thing of simplistic beauty and his boy-like charisma made them a gem to watch. His shows got me through the roughest of times, and made me smile at the end of the day.. RIP HUELL HOWSER you were truly California's Gold.

I agree, he did bring a sense of the better in us all. I had a medical problem and was pretty sick, stuck at home waiting to see if I was going to make it. Pretty serious stuff. To cheer up I'd watch these tapes of his many shows. Funny as it sounds they did just that. I got to looking forward to watching them daily. Some of them over and over again (such as the desert episodes around Salton Sea or Newberry Springs). Was great to have Huell's old shows around to watch. Even dead he still provides us with a positive outlook on life.

Stan looks like a great man who just wants to put a smile on everyone's face and fill their stomachs

Can't believe this doughnut shop closed for good stan's I remember this episode

The same space is opening a new donut store. I was there last Sunday. They were almost ready to go.

A real piece of California gold. He was the best

I did a Huell foodie road trip in 2019. I visited both Pinks and Stan's Donuts. The Huell was excellent and the milk was a nice complement.

Tonight is the last night Stan's is open. So long, Stan, and enjoy that retirement.

This has always been my favorite donut. I always tell everyone about it. I love it even more after the name change. Huell was such an awesome guy. RIP.

My father and I both had our hair cuts there in the 60's and 70's. I worked at Stan's winter/spring 1980.

Oh huell. I wish you had known your life had so little time left but even when you didn't you seemed to always live it to the fullest.

This comment section is wonderful, didn't know either of these two but found out alot. Both great men, RIP to both of them

one of my favorite TV show's California's gold and visiting with huell houser you will great TV show miss this show RIP huell

I miss that donut

💔 An old world skill...now lost. Home made fresh doughnuts. RIP Stan's Donuts

I used to go there when I went to UCLA. Met a few big-time people in there back in the 70s. Sometimes they'd give me a (small) regular haircut discount when I showed them my student ID and Veterans frat card. Stans' was a great place to get a donut and a large coffee before heading off to Dodd and an early class. Happy college memories. UCLA was a great place to attend college and Westwood a unique and special village type setting, especially for LA. I was upset when my cousin told me Stan's closed in 2020. We'd heard he was planning to close up for a while, but Covid made the call sooner much easier. Kind of sad knowing that to see Stan with Huell from the past.

Such a sweet man. For the past 20+ I've always enjoyed Huell. Sorry to have heard of his passing.

Farewell Stan's Donuts... thanks for the delicious treats and good times!

I met Huell once a long time ago when I worked at the Pasadena weekly. He had a bear trap of a handshake and was really nice. A true class act

The legend. I think he is the OG before Anthony Bourdain.

Impossible for Stan not to have been success with that great personality

Donuts went downhill over a period of time,after Stan left.

I always found myself smiling while watching Huell's programs. He was the best, for sure. Good luck to Stan in his retirement.

Well Hello There!!...Gone but not forgotten

Thank you Huell, thank you Stan. Sorry to hear Stan had decided to close down.....and I'll always miss Huell.

I love California Gold but Visiting had some great episodes. Stan's was one of them. He pretty much said, "Come on Reeses. Sue me!" HA. Atta' way Stan.

I tell you what, if Huell was my uncle or grandpa, or even my dad, he'd have easily been my favorite relative. I've gone to countless places he recommended. I remember in particular some old beverage shop in Eagle Rock that had NeHi he'd showcased; I actually worked right next door to that place for awhile. I even remember house-sitting on Rossmore, just below after it changes from Vine, and being pointed out Huell's LA digs...when he wasn't in the desert anyway. (thought for sure I saw him one day...) It's a G@d-damnwd shame he died.

Huell Howser IS California Gold!

My grandma and I loved to watch Huel!

And now it's no more. Truly sad. We've lost so many places that were a part of our childhood.... Rest in peace, Stan.

i love stans birthmark

Wow, its inspiring how Stan was hoping to live to be 100, so he could continue his passion.

RIP Huell

This guy really lived it up :)

What a great show!!

RIP Huell and Stan.

God, I miss this place. Was never quite the same after they had to lease out a big chunk of the space, though. I would sit in their with my father and siblings on Sunday mornings. I recall all the film posters (probably given by the Mann Bruin across the street)

Stans doughnuts is closing this month 4/2020 sorry to see this place go .

I miss Huell and his wholesome shows.

Classic. He will be missed by many of us. Christian. Home now at peace with the Lord

30 minutes before closing we could get a big bag filled to the top with donuts for $2. We’d feed on that bag for days. Great memories

I miss Huell... :(

I want to go get a Huell Howser donut now!

Huell was the best.

God i never got to taste this delicious donut 😢

love it

The Simpsons were from the Tracey Ulsan show. Truth

I tend to agree we all miss Mr. Hansen. But I would think Mr. Houser would like us to follow him in his footsteps as a as a organization of a optimus group. Meaning we could create optimistic group that way follow on Huell Hauser I did before in the past and continue of Huell Howser

Huell Howser. Quality entertainment.

BTW his shows are still aired on PBS.

I found out the hard way, but stan's doughnuts in westwood , NE of santa Monica, is permanently closed 😢 This video is 8 years old after all. Simplier time for doughnuts back then

I never been to Cali, it looks cool though

"The Huell" 🍩 doughnut.!!! ".Inspiring"..

Stan's is was my morning stop when I attended UCLA.

Damn, I went to Oakleys for 25 years....

It's in California dude, how the hell am I going to get one of these

rip huell

this donut shop closed down,what is there now.

I wonder if they have any connection to Stan's Donuts in Santa Clara, Ca (Nor Cal) Stan's Santa Clara was started about the same time and they to are World Famous.....National Radio Host Mark Levine raves about Stan's when he visits the Bay Area.

Hated to see Stan's close. Sad. 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

And now Stan's Donuts are a Thing That Is Not Here Anymore. (sigh) COVID-19 casualty at least partially, the other part being that the owners wanted to retire.

Address?

Rockview dairy milk is the best!

Any online name it's Huell and something.

There’s nothing wrong with red meat. There’s nothing wrong with carbohydrates. There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of sugar. What is wrong is eating processed food that isn’t natural and minimizing the amount of ingredients like your intake of food. I don’t know why people try to complicate it.
