Where can I buy coffee jelly?

You can buy packs of coffee jelly at a Japanese supermarket such as Nijiya, Mitsuwa, or smaller grocery chains such as Sunrise Mart in New York City. You may also be able to find it in some Asian supermarkets and specialized Korean grocery stores. One of the most famous brands of coffee jelly is Okazaki, which is easy to find in Japanese grocery stores. The coffee jelly is sold in small plastic cups and in packs of three, which is standard for Japanese gelatin desserts.

Is coffee jelly good for you?

Since coffee jelly is relatively low in calories, it is perfectly safe to enjoy in moderation. However, because it's high sugar and caffeine, it's best enjoyed as an afternoon snack so it won't affect your sleep.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes you can. All you need to do is the swap gelatin for agar agar, and use a non dairy coffee creamer instead of heavy milk.
