KOTO JELLY COFFEE

Food: This jelly coffee is unique, light, and worth the try. I recommend trying it with affogato for an enhanced experience. Very tasty overall. Service: Everyone here was friendly and responsive to my service. The owner was so sweet and welcoming during my first visit. Atmosphere: cozy, organized, and minimalistic. A visit here promotes a calm/chill state.

Giving this place a 4/5! It was overall a great experience and the beverages were good. The concept is infused jelly and their main focuses are coffee, matcha, and fruit teas! You can kind of mix and match with the jelly, milk, and cream. I got a coffee jelly with milk and my mom got the coffee & (ice) cream. I was a little underwhelmed with it. My mom's drink was kind of a cold brew coffee with a scoop of ice cream and mine was literally coffee in jelly form with my choice of milk! I thought the jelly would maybe be more sweetened or not sure have another element. Was on the pricer end for coffee 8-9 bucks a cup. I would go back and probably try one of their star items like coffee jelly, milk and cream or a matcha drink! The space is small but aesthetic and we sat and chatted. Service was great!

So happy to see them open up a physical location. Great aesthetic inside, amazing customer service during the opening, and delicious jelly coffee that's very rare to get in the PNW or outside of Japan. They have a great selection of types and even milk jelly which I never heard of but excited to try next time! Lines on opening was to be expected, but it's def worth a visit!

Finally got to visit this place for the first time today! Pros: Excellent customer service—super friendly and attentive staff. I’m not sure if it’s family-owned, but it definitely feels that way because you can tell how much care goes into everything. I ordered the Jelly Coffee drink, and while it wasn’t exactly what I expected, it was still interesting to try! I thought it would have more of a boba texture, but it was softer (the cashier explained this beforehand, which I appreciated). Apparently, these are popular in Japan! Mine was unsweetened, so it was a bit bitter, but that was my choice. Compared to many places in Seattle, the taste was decent, and I’m curious to try more drinks to form a full opinion. The design is also worth mentioning—very minimalistic and stylish. Cons: The space is tiny, so it’s more of a grab-and-go spot. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’m definitely coming back to explore more of the menu!

Koto Jelly Coffee is an absolute gem in Seattle’s coffee scene, offering a unique and delightful experience you won’t find anywhere else. As someone who appreciates the artistry of Japanese culture, I was immediately drawn to the serene ambiance and thoughtful design of this café. It’s the perfect blend of minimalism and warmth, reflecting the heart of Japanese hospitality. The highlight, of course, is the coffee jelly. This is not just a drink; it’s an experience. The smooth, slightly sweet coffee jelly paired with their creamy, high-quality coffee creates a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. It’s a treat for the senses and a refreshing twist for coffee lovers seeking something truly special. What makes Koto even more exceptional is Ree, one of the two owners. Her kindness and genuine passion for sharing a piece of her culture are evident in every detail, from the menu to the way she greets every customer with a warm smile. You can tell she’s poured her heart into creating a space where people can feel at home while discovering something new. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Seattle, Koto Jelly Coffee is a must-visit. It’s not just about the coffee—it’s about experiencing a slice of Japanese culture and leaving with a heart as warm as the cup in your hand. Highly recommend!

The coffee and tea jelly were both delicious! The jellies meant the coffee/tea flavors were stronger than simply mixing them with milk as liquids, which we really liked. Usage of agar means the jellies are vegetarian- and vegan-friendly. The interior is cleanly minimalist, and drinks came out in a timely manner.

lovely place with great atmosphere, friendly staff and good music. i got the matcha jelly + milk. not too sweet, and good drink overall, brings me back to my childhood. only issue is that occasionally the jelly would be kinda gritty from the matcha powder not being fully incorporated, or have a strange texture as it’s the top layer of the jelly that dried out a bit as the jelly set. overall still a very enjoyable and pleasant experience, would come back again. thank you ^^
