Less and More Coffee ii is a very tiny coffee shop that serves amazing coffee. (Less and More Coffee (i) is a coffee stand/kiosk on the next street, 5th ave.) The space is cozy, with just three bar seats and two table seats, which are so close together that it feels more like one table and two bar seats. This makes it not the ideal spot for a long sit-down, but it's perfect for grabbing a coffee to go while exploring downtown or Pioneer Square.
Their coffee beans are not on the cheaper side, especially given the small size, but the quality is worth it. The light roast beans are particularly tasty. The batista is very knowledgeable of their beans and gave me a great recommendations for my home coffee setting. Their espresso-based drinks are excellent.
I am especially fond of their specialty coffees like the Ssuk Latte, Enjoyme Latte, and Cloud Custard Coffee. The Ssuk Latte, made with mugwort, has a unique aroma that I love, though it might not be for everyone. The Enjoyme Latte features flavors reminiscent of Korean injeolmi rice cakes with roasted soybean, which pairs wonderfully with their coffee. One of the best things about these specialty coffees is that they aren't overly sweet.
Another charming aspect of Less and More Coffee is their cool cups and pots. While they don't sell them, they do use them for serving drinks in-house, which adds to the experience.
Overall, for a quick, high-quality coffee stop, Less and More Coffee is fantastic. I always bring visitors here, and they are never disappointed. If you're looking for a place to drink in for longer, it might depend on how busy it is, but for a quick grab-and-go, this place is a five-star gem.
