Description

[edit]

Raised Doughnuts is a bakery and doughnut shop in Seattle's Central District. The business operates in the Midtown Square complex. Previously, the shop accommodated production and seating for approximately 10 to 15 people, as of 2018. The bathroom was painted "in a deep red to match [the owner's] popular raspberry hole doughnuts", according to Eater Seattle's Megan Hill.[1]

Fodor's says Raised is known for "airy" doughnuts, gluten-free options, and "creative seasonal flavors".[2] According to Alyssa Therrien of the Daily Hive, "Raised Doughnuts strives to avoid waste at all costs and makes one big batch a day which they sell until they're all gone. They also use every last bit of dough, recycling the scraps into fritters and holes."[3]

[edit]

The business has served gluten-free mochi doughnuts, maple bars, raspberry holes,[4] chocolate bars, crullers,[5] and apple fritters. Rotating monthly[6] doughnut varieties have included blueberry basil, black sesame,[7] ube coconut, strawberry pie,[1] strawberry balsamic, Thai tea mochi, chocolate chip cookie,[5] lemon thyme, guava coconut,[8] caramel crunch bar, honey ginger, Fruity Pebble,[9] blueberry mochi, nectarine, tahini chocolate, earl grey,[10] and grapefruit crème brûlee.[11] The "Everything Doughnut" is a variation of the everything bagel.[12] Cake varieties include cherry and chevre, apricot raspberry, and matcha black sesame.[13] Raised has also serves coffee by Broadcast, Dorothea, and Fidalgo.[1]

History

Baker and owner Mi Kim started Raised as a pop-up restaurant in 2017, after developing the concept since 2016;[14][15] local entrepreneur and restaurateur[16] I-Miun Liu has been credited as her business partner.[9][17][18] According to Brian Amick of Bake Magazine, "Mi Kim's goal is to bring back the memory of gas station doughnuts. Her father used to buy her gas station doughnuts every morning, and now she wants others to feel that same level of happiness."[19]

In June 2018, the business opened an approximately 1,800 square foot[20] shop in Seattle's Central District.[1][4][21][22]

Kim hosted doughnut-making classes once per month, as of 2019.[23] She expanded the business to offer cakes in 2019.[24] Plans to relocate to the Midtown Square complex were announced in 2021.[25][26]

In 2023, the business sold rabbit-shaped brown sugar shortbread cookies for Lunar New Year.[27]
