Raised Doughnuts and Cakes
2301 E Union St, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“This charming Seattle spot has built a devoted following around their inventive, seasonal doughnut flavors and a genuinely kind staff that makes you feel like family. Beyond the Instagram-worthy pastries, they pour solid drip coffee and even offer hands-on doughnut-making classes, making it the kind of place where people return monthly and trust them with life's sweeter milestones like wedding cakes. The cozy, aesthetically pleasing interior pairs perfectly with their philosophy of not oversweetening things—their maple bar is a masterclass in balance—so you can linger over coffee without feeling like you need a nap afterward.”

My husband and I go to Raised every month to try their new flavors. They’re always very unique and fun to try. The workers are also very kind! It’s a great monthly tradition.
My husband and I are frequent customers at Raised (we've also attended one of their doughnut making classes and loved it!), and recently ordered our wedding cakes from them. The ordering process was easy and painless, and the owner was very responsive and helpful in the planning process. We ended up ordering one 10" cake (brown sugar cake with black sesame whipped cream and strawberries) as well as a rectangle cake (chocolate cake with a coffee whipped cream filling) for our 60 guests, and it was a MASSIVE hit. Everyone was asking us where we got our cakes, and we were so happy to spread our love for Raised! Thank you for being part of our day. We're excited to continue getting delicious doughnuts and cakes at the shop as well!
I love this place so much. I got the pumpkin pie filled donut & it was the best donut I’ve had in my entire life. I also got a drip coffee which was lovely as well. It’s so cute inside too with lots of big windows so nice seeing the fall leaves outside too. 10/10 recommend what a treat!
Stopped by this morning for a fun treat got the raspberry bismark, maple bar, cranberry orange and blueberry struesel (not pictured) the donuts were delicious. I spent 15 something. they were less sweet than typical donuts but flavored beautifully and they were very light and airy in texture. My personal favorite was the cranberry orange and my companion loved the raspberry Bismark. Nice seating for a quick treat before we continued our walk.
Raised Donuts is a sweet little gem in the donut world. Their maple bar is my absolute go-to!! Perfectly fluffy, rich, and not overly sweet. The raspberry holes are a delicious little bonus, and I love that they mix it up with creative monthly flavors that never disappoint. They even have “pup nuts”, which makes them an automatic win in my book. The coffee isn’t really their strong suit, so I usually grab my caffeine fix elsewhere. But honestly, the super friendly staff and the donuts more than make up for it. If you’re here for the donuts (and you should be), you’ll leave happy.
