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]

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]
