I remember going to their previous location and this new location is more convenient to get to. So big upgrade there. One thing I'd like to speak to is their take on an everything but the bagel donut. By far one of my favorite iterations compared to other places. One other type of donut that I enjoy getting here is when they do a fritter. It's consistently an enjoyable donut, especially when they change up the flavor profile. Don't discount their other donuts though. It's just for me. These ones were the ones that stood out. read more

It's taken me 7 years to come back to this place but I figured if you could stay in business this long and move shops, it's gotta be doing something right. I came before 11am on. Friday and all 3 of the February specials I was looking for were sold out. I got the maple bar, apple fritter and strawberry shortcake donut holes. The maple bar was average, normal IE nothing special. The apple fritter would have benefited from a couple more apple pieces and a bit more of a crunch to the outside. The donut holes were really dry...we did not finish them. Cake slices not available on weekdays. This was a bit disappointing of an experience...my bf said Top Pot is better and I don't like Top Pot so not a repeat for me read more

Their doughnuts are delicious! Got mini doughnuts and couldn't stop eating them! Hope they keep up their quality & fun flavors!

I ordered from Too Good To Go, which was a great deal and they provided a big, diverse selection of donuts! The service was friendly and pick up was easy. I'm sure that because the donuts were the ones that were the last to go and were rescued from being thrown away, they are probably not entirely indicative of the quality you'd expect from their fresh donuts, but overall, they were pretty good! I loved the lemon filled donut and apple fritter the most. Some of them tasted a little overdone. For the price I paid on Too Good To Go, definitely worth it and I'm glad I was able to try a place that was new to me. read more

Came here on a Tuesday morning between 7 and 8. We were the only ones who sat and ate but there was another group who grabbed things to go. This place is super nice with bright big corner windows and ample seating to enjoy and people watch. The staff had their cute lil dog noodle hangin around which was very cute, the staff was also very nice. I personally didn't care for the donuts we had today but I would say that's more on my personal preference than them so I would come back and try their other flavors but this time it's a solid 3/5 for me but I could def see them being better if I had picked other flavors. Lychee mochi donut - 5/10 but my friend said 7/10. Personally way too sweet for me and I didn't like it but is probs just personal preference as I generally don't like things that are too sweet. Everything Bagel - 7/10 - read more

They raise the bar on your local donut shop. Absolute delight. They had a mix of more traditional donuts and more adventurous options. The interior was clean and modern. And service was also top notch! The prices are comparable to any other donuts but they are delicious and include an better experience ! read more

I was really excited to see Raised Doughnuts nearby since it's my friend's favorite spot. I popped in for their snickerdoodle, kinako mochi, caramel crunch and mochi sugar. I was super excited to try their mochi donuts since Dochi is one of my favorite donut shops! Definitely smaller donuts and upon first bite, it's not as fluffy or as chewy as Dochi. In fact, it felt heavy and very oily to the point of stomach upsetting greasiness. In fact, the box that it was in quickly developed oil spots so you know these donuts are heavy on the oil. My daughter did like her caramel crunch but I would not return for this style of donuts. read more

i have been meaning to try this place for so long and was thoroughly impressed! the space is very large and open which would be great to work and/or study in. the worker was so nice in helping us out and went above and beyond. my friend and i came here on a whim and were delighted by what we got, which were the mochi chai, passion fruit strawberry, vietnamese coffee, and the maple bar. i was most shocked by the mochi chai as the texture and flavor exceeded my expectations :D the only doughnut i would say i didn't enjoy as much as the others were the vietnamese coffee as i did not taste much coffee sadly :,) i also would love for them to possibly expand their drink menu as it is rather limited as well. i definitely want to come back on a weekend to try the cakes they sell as they do it by the slice!! read more

Donuts are solid. This month flavors are pretty good. I recommend the crunch donut and the cinnamon roll this month. Three donut holes for $3 is a little crazy in my opinion. Service is always great. Shop is always clean. read more

Found this place from a friend's recommendation. From the menu looks like they have classic doughnuts as well as some seasonal specials along with some unique flavor combinations. It's a cute and beautiful shop, the staff was super nice and sweet. I just got the pineapple upside-down doughnut to try out to see if I like it and it was yummy. The doughnut wasn't overly sweet which I love, the texture was soft, fluffy, and airy. Next time I want to try their cakes and chocolate bar . One thing to keep in mind is that they might run out of some doughnuts by the afternoon. I will be back again, I can say for sure that these are one of the most delicious doughnuts that I have tried in the Seattle area. read more

The donuts here taste different from your average one, which I would describe as crispy but feeling like you're biting into something very oily. It's not preferred but I love how they have rotating flavors every month. You'll need to get here early as they run out of most things by late morning. The space is beautiful but I can't say I've ever gotten happy/friendly service here. read more

Yummy, donuts, plenty of parking. Easy to get to. Delicious choices of donuts and most importantly they have doggie donuts too, that was such a lovely surprise bonus. Friendly staff greeted and helped as soon as I walked in. This location is near a really cute town with neighboring cafes and ambiance was very welcoming read more

Amazing donuts. Great flavor options. This is a place you can get donuts you can not get anywhere else. (get the raspberry holes) nice people behind the counter also. read more

Cute and yummy donut shop! I didn't try the cakes but they looked great too. I visited around 12pm and got the last everything bagel donut and chocolate donut. I wanted to try the Apple fritter but I felt bad because I had already gotten the last donut for two other flavors so I left it for the other people in line. That just goes to show how popular this place is though! Everything was light and fluffy. The chocolate icing tasted rich and fudgy. The burnt sugar and orange donut tasted so citrusy and I loved the crunchy sugar! The raspberry bismarck was also so decadent and flavorful. My favorite was the everything bagel though, super savory. read more

We decided to take a long way home after dropping our kid at school on our day off so that we could stop at Raised Doughnuts because, if you make it early enough and get lucky, they have the best gluten free doughnut in town! It is a mochi sugar donut that somehow reminds me of beignets in the French Quarter. Of course, it is much denser than a beignet, but the taste and sweetness is just spot on. My partner always finds so wonderful, fluffy regular donuts too. Highly recommend this place. Great vibe too! read more

Ever since Raised Doughnuts and Cakes opened up, my friend, her son and I would have monthly doughnut dates to sample all of the monthly flavors. It's so hard to pick favorites but some favorites over the years are any of their mochi doughnuts (the texture is PERFECT), Raspberry holes, pear chevre, chocolate raspberry crunch, and Everything but the doughnuts. The cakes are just as good, I love that they're not too sweet and are light and refreshing. I love Raised Doughnuts and cakes so much that my husband and I had to serve their cakes and doughnuts at our wedding a few weeks ago. I find their ordering process very straight forward. While they do not offer a traditional cake tasting, you can either customize your cake off of their cake menu, or order a flavor they previously served (which you can scroll through their IG). We ended up ordering a 3 tiered wedding cake and a sheet cake with 2 different cake flavors (Mango Coconut & Chocolate, Raspberry, Passionfruit), and 100 guava mochi doughnuts. Our desserts were a huge hit with our wedding guests, but our 1 regret would have been to order more mochi doughnuts as some of our guests wanted seconds of that (lol) and all we had left over was our top tier to freeze up. For reference, our guest count was at 145. I still have yet to visit Raised's new space but I look forward to checking it out at my next monthly doughnut date. read more

I'm behind on writing a review of this bakery even though I've been here numerous times for delicious doughnuts and cake. Earlier this year, I ordered the boba cake slice which was for a limited time during a weekend. The cake was good, but the boba was a bit chewy. They did encourage folks to eat it right way, so it may have been my fault for waiting a bit. But I think it's cool that they experiment with new flavors and ideas. My favorite item off the regular menu is the Everything Bagel Donut as I'm not much of a sweets person. It honestly tastes like you're eating a bagel on top of a donut. I've also ordered a customized cake from here along with other desserts to try as well. The rotating flavors for both cakes and donuts are fun and exciting. I'm very happy that that they've moved into a bigger, new home right off Union St. and across from Communion Restaurant & Bar. I haven't visited there yet, but looking forward to seeing the new space! read more

Boutique donut shop with gourmet, fresh made donuts. SO many creative flavors (tahini chocolate, earl grey, blueberry mochi!?) ! I tried a fruity donut with coconut flakes and guava icing. Love the fluffy but rich texture of the yeasted donuts! I really want to try the Everything Bagel donut next time, love the concept of a savoury donut! They sell out of flavors pretty quickly though, so come early! read more

Raised Doughnuts and Cakes - Rhubarb and Coconut Guava Donuts! ($3-4) - Donuts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I had been wanting to try this place for over a year and since I had today off (Memorial Day), I preordered a week ago since it's the best time that works for me. I was so excited to get my box but when I opened it, the first thing I noticed is that the donuts didn't look as presentable and appealing as I had hoped. Then when I bit into the first one (chocolate bar), I was even more disappointed. The doughnut itself was like a 5-day old bread and the chocolate glaze was meh. I had a bite of the other donuts as well and that's all I needed to do because they were all meh. The Apple fritter was the most flavorful out of all of them but even then, the fritter was so dry so I only ate the top part. Not worth it at all. read more

Had a pre order to pick up this morning I usually wait till there are a couple flavors are more that interest me before I decide to pay a visit. Was my first time checking out the new space and they did a wonderful job!! Looking forward to a day when I have more time to stay for a cup if coffee and visit with friends here probably will try to do that during the week when Communion isn't open making parking a little easier or just take a bus on the weekend. The lemon thyme is one of my favorites and when I saw it on the menu for May I knew I was due for a visit. Picked up some to split with dad and share with a friend. Splitting the doughnuts in half with dad doesn't make me feel as guilty . The others I selected were the coconut guava, roasted rhubarb and the weekend filled french toast. All were delicious as expected but the lemon thyme still has my heart it's tartness wins me over always. Service is always great here everyone is always friendly and helpful. They thanked me for ordering ahead. I love how the new space large window opens up to outside it allows for indoor and outdoor dining. There is a large community table that my guess is used for classes when not serving. The aesthetics are spot on which I knew they would be as I was following Mi's posts on IG. read more

I haven't been to raised doughnut ever since they were still a pop up. It's been a while and this is my first time going to their store front. With COVID, you just place the order outside and they will bring your order to you. We got: Raspberry donut holes: I remember these were delicious back in the days and they are still as amazing. Everything bagel seasoning donuts: my favorite of all. I love the sweet and savory flavor of this one. Boston cream donut: decent, nothing spectacular. Pineapple upside down: sad to say but this was a failed for me. Tasted just like a glazed donut, no pineapple flavor or anything. Overall, it's a nice place and the donuts are good :) and I'm glad they have a store now. read more

Tried this place for the first time and its pretty good. I got the banana cream pie, nectarine, and earl grey donut. The nectarine was ok, I was hoping there was cream or something inside but it was just a glazed donut with two small slices on nectarine on top. I wouldn't get that again. Same goes for earl grey, I didn't taste any earl grey :( . The banana cream pie is my fav though! Perfect balance of not so sweet cream and sweet donut- I would def get this again. The only complaint I have is structural issues lol the cream is literally falling out so I had to flip the donut so cream is on top. The dough is good at this place . Not too dense, not too airy or oily. A tad on the pricey side but I guess this is how seattle is. read more

The service here is so kind! I come in the mornings and they always perk up my day. Not every doughnut is a hit (understandable with a monthly changing menu) but they have a lot of great options. Probably one of my favorite doughnut places in Seattle. The dough has a wonderful flavor and texture. I especially love their blue cheese bacon blueberry doughnut! They have a lot of unique flavors that change every month so I'm always back. I've heard a lot of great things about their cakes (which flavors also change often) so I'll need to try that next time! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I'm so happy I found a spot for both tasty and affordable doughnuts! I feel like most the doughnut places in Seattle are way overpriced. I paid under $15 for all five doughnuts with some being just $2. What a steal! I tried the mango coconut, chocolate bar, thai tea mochi, glazed, and chocolate chip cookie doughnuts. My favorite was definitely the chocolate bar. I feel like they would have tasted better earlier in the day when they were fresh. Unfortunately, the maple bar was all sold out when I got there around 1030am on a Sunday, so I'd definitely come by again and drop by earlier this time! read more

These are some of the best donuts in Seattle! I love that they are fried fresh every morning - it makes such a difference. They also offer 4 new unique flavors each month. My favorites included the savory everything bagel donut, the rhubarb (February special), and the strawberry shortcake donut holes (also a February special). I didn't care as much for the key lime pie or the guava mochi donut but that's just personal preference. I'm looking forward to March's flavors! :) read more

The donuts are so good. My wife doesn't even like donuts (has never eaten a whole one) - I know, wtf? and she absolutely loved it! They are really light and fluffy. We got a pumpkin filled, pumpkin fritter, and glazed. All of them were great. We ate there - They have a nice indoor seating area where you can see them make the donuts too. I love that area of Central District - it's completely changed with a lot of other neat shops and restaurants. And oh yeah, the woman working there was very kind and helpful. Thank you! read more

Mi and the Raised team are phenomenal! We've been eating their doughnuts and cakes for years, so it was a no brainer to choose Raised to create our wedding cake. Mi intricately piped the most gorgeous, vintage piping. The end result was better than anything I found on Instagram or Pinterest. And of course, each layer was absolutely delicious! On top of it all, Mi showed me fantastic customer service, flexibility, and timely communication. I strongly recommend Raised for doughnuts and cakes and hope to work with Mi again soon! read more

You can order ahead! And that makes me very happy. - Raspberry donut holes: a little too tart for my liking, but I can see it being a hit for those who like tart! - Coffee crueller: amazing coffee taste with the complexity a crueler provides. My fav. - Blueberry mochi: what you would expect from a mochi donut! Flavorful and yummy. - Maple bar: I don't normally like maple bars so the fact that I wanted to eat the entire donut is a testament. It's fluffy, has just enough of a fried taste to it. - Nectarine: can't really taste the nectarine (unless I'm actually eating the nectarine), but still a nice, fluffy donut to consume. Their doughnuts taste more fried than a mom and pop shop, which is what I prefer. Not dense. Delicious. If it weren't so far, I'd get it often. read more

The cutest building with the best doughnuts. I love their maple bars... the perfect size (smaller than traditional long johns) and with delicious flavor.

With seasonal flavors, there is always something new to try and fall in love with! read more

I've enjoyed most of their doughnuts I've tried, and they're a super thoughtful business. I tried the mochi doughnut and it was so tiny and so greasy I don't understand the draw. The dalgona coffee was also a strange experience, more a savory than sweet. I appreciate the range of specialties and the fluffy apple fritter and maply maple bar will continue to be tops in my book. read more

Our whole family loves Raised Donuts! Even our dog! Reasonable pricing for lovingly crafted yeast donuts with fun flavors. The donuts are perfectly soft and chewy with a sweetness that pairs perfectly with coffee. I like that they have a lot of permanent and rotating flavors so there's something for everyone. The interior is beautifully lit and decorated. Perfect for a casual weekend outing. Dogs are welcome, obviously. We always get our pup a pupnut and she's gotten lots of love from the sweet staff. read more

I stay pretty traditional when it comes to doughnuts. That being said I'll always try a places glazed and usually a chocolate something as well. During COVID you walk up and they greet you at the door, and grab your donuts for take away. I will say after trying these a couple times, the Chocolate Bar is definitely what you want to get. Despite what others say about the size, I think it's a perfect size. it's a little heavier than your average donut and the icing layer is pretty thick. Overall just balanced. This for me was the obvious stand out. The glazed on the other hand is good, but I think compared to the chocolate bar, it's too subtle to really write home about. A good doughnut though if you are in the area! read more

Been eyeing this place for a while now and finally made it in early on a Sunday morning. I'm intrigued by their monthly rotating flavors and cool IG advertising. I'm used to specialty donut places charging $3+ per donut, but I'm more disappointed to see they are barely a (small) palm size. Given their specialty, I'm not sure I'd classify this as an everyday spot, but as long as the creative flavors are there it'll keep people coming back monthly. --Vietnamese Coffee - I was highly looking forward to this. I appreciate how they drizzle the condensed milk right before they pack it for you. The flavor is subtle, when I expected to get smacked in the face with something stronger. --Sugar Mochi - Good chewy texture as expected. --Caramel Crunch Bar - Probably my favorite in terms of density in each bite. Caramel was balanced without being overly sweet. --Pumpkin Pie - Probably the most impressive out of my selection. Excellent flavor (I usually dislike pumpkin flavors, whoops) and well stuffed with filling. --Black Sesame - Same as the Viet coffee, was hoping for more flavor. --Raspberry Donut Hole - Subtly tart and fresh flavor, I should've eaten them right away instead of waiting until later in the day. --Oreo Donut Hole - Can't go wrong with this option. There's barely several parking spots in front of the shop. Park on the back side street. There's a large private parking lot that belongs to the neighboring building, all completely empty on a Sunday, but park temporarily at your own risk of course. read more
