Koto Jelly Coffee brings a unique Japanese dessert to Seattle, transforming traditional coffee jelly into a drinkable experience. This small shop on First Hill offers a creative twist on a classic dish, making it accessible to a new audience. The owners, architects turned food entrepreneurs, spent a year perfecting their recipe with a Japanese chef. Their jelly coffee is a delightful blend of coffee jelly topped with milk or ice cream, served through a straw.
• Koto Jelly Coffee is the first specialty shop of its kind in the U.S.
• The jelly coffee is designed to be drunk, not eaten, offering a unique texture.
• In addition to jelly coffee, Koto serves matcha jelly, black tea jelly, and milk jelly.
• The shop has a cozy, stylish atmosphere, reflecting the owners' architectural background.
This innovative approach not only introduces a lesser-known Japanese treat to American customers but also fosters a sense of community. Koto Jelly Coffee aims to create a meaningful experience for both customers and employees, ensuring its lasting presence in the local food scene.
