Japanese-inspired jelly coffee bar in First Hill; the menu spotlights a signature Jelly Coffee served with milk or ice cream, a bright Jelly Matcha latte, and a silky Hojicha jelly latte that blends tea and plant-based agar. A reviewer notes the jelly is light and goes down smoothly, and the moderately priced café welcomes pets, offers Wi-Fi, and provides a minimalist, cozy setting for a quick sip.
