Less and more coffee

Unique lattes and decent pastries! Had a ssuk latte and if you're into mugwort, I would definitely recommend it. It's light and a pleasure to sip on. The service is a tad slow since there's only 2 workers and typically a long line.

I tried this place multiple times. The first time, I got the tiramisu latte and ube mochi donut. The latte was great! I liked the creaminess on top of the drink. I liked how the sweet taste and bitter taste blended together. The ube mochi donut was also really good as well. It was the first mochi donut I had with the perfect texture. Usually, it is either too chewy or too stale. I went back a second time to try their matcha latte. This wasn't as good. The matcha taste was very weak, and it tasted mostly like very sweet milk.

My partner and I were visiting Portland from Chicago. This has to be in our top 5 coffee shops we have ever visited. We went twice over our trip which says something for us. Every drink we tried was super tasty and well balanced. (Ube Latte, Cream Coffee, Tiramisu Latte, and Tiramisu Coffee). We also had savory tomato and feta croissant that was to die for. One of our visits was on a Saturday morning with a long line and we were impressed with how quickly two people were churning through drinks and they were still fantastic. Kudos to Less and More. Next time we are in Portland we will be back for sure.

Tiramisu is good, taro tastes like water. And service people need some promotion to bring up their energy levels.

Got our orders as soon as I finished my sentence at the cashier. Great espresso and interesting specialty drinks! We got the ube and black sesame - it was delicious. Hope to visit soon to try more drinks.

Heard good things about the coffee shop, mostly on TicTok to be honest. But it did not disappoint! The drinks were sooo good! We go the Ube Latte, Tiramisu Latte, and Ssuk Latte. All were amazing! Our favorite was the Ube but the tiramisu was a very close second. The stand is located right outside Bank of America, which we did not realize at first so we had a little trouble finding it, but we’re so happy that we did! Would definitely recommend!

The cutest subway station turned into a coffee spot! My friends and I ordered chai tea, spanish and tiramisu latte. The service took 30 minutes and the line wasn’t that long, but the lattes were absolutely worth it. Chai had the perfect amount of spice.

Awesome coffee ! The hot maple syrup latte was perfect : tasty, well balanced, not too sweet ! You can tell the coffee used is nice !

Im in downtown Portland for work and am so excited for all the coffee shops. First stop is this cute little walk up. I think the full name is Less Mystery More Coffee. It's just a one man shop but he works fast! The options were interesting. I went with the honey lavender latte. Perfect amount of flavor so it's not overwhelming and not too sweet. The tiramisu latte sounded interesting but I was afraid it would be too sweet. Great and convenient location rifht in front of the Bank of America. I wish there was eating because this would be great for people watching during the busy hours.

Cute little coffee shop! Spent the last day in portland roaming around the downtown area and was looking for a iced cold drink since it was warm outside. Passed by this coffee stand and ordered the Ube Iced Latte and the Tiramisu iced latte. The employees were quick to make our drinks and the drinks tasted delicious. The ube latte had just the right amount of sweetness and it was refreshing. The tiramisu latte is perfect for coffee drinkers. The drink was smooth and the milk with it was creamy. It was a bit on the stronger side but I still enjoyed the drink, even after the ice melted a bit and the coffee settled being mixed in with the cream. I am also very pleased with the aesthetic of the cup holders too and the shop. No sitting areas available. Just a quick order and go coffee stand!

I tried Less & More Coffee a while back on a Saturday afternoon. There was a bit of the line despite the local offices being closed. The coffee shop is this cute little corner stand stationed with 2-3 people. This was one of my favorite coffee shop in Portland. The cups come clear. The service was quick, like a 5 minute wait. I'd come back again!

I arrived to Portland in the early morning with my sister & boyfriend. In need of coffee, we found this spot that was converted from a bus stop into a coffee shop- very creative! From seeing the reviews, I did have high expectations as many stated that this is one of their fave spots however once we tried our drinks, it proved to be disappointing. We ordered: a black sesame latte, tiramisu latte & the honey lavender latte. * the black sesame latte: we gave it a 2/5 and reason being is that the coffee tasted acidic and we didn't taste any of the black sesame. I would say that the foam that was placed on the drink was nice & thick. * honey lavender latte: we also gave this a 2/5 as we didn't taste any lavender and the coffee also acidic :( *tiramisu latte: this was a 1/5 for us as the coffee tasted watered down. I'm not sure if we came by at a wrong time but we were disappointed at our visit. I think it's very creative at the way the store was built.

Definitely an aesthetic and unique coffee shop that was once a bus stop. The drinks were a bit lackluster. My friend and I ordered the matcha lavender latte. Mine tasted watered down, the matcha was a bit chalky, and it didn't have that vibrant green color. My other friend ordered the ube latte. It had a vibrant purple color and it tasted like how it was supposed to: ube. We were left wanting more of something as this didn't satisfy us, unfortunately.

Love this coffee spot! We came by on a Monday morning and we found parking easily nearby. It's located in a renovated bus stop in front of Bank of America, we almost missed it if it weren't for the line forming outside! We ordered the tiramisu latte and it was so yummy. I loved how none of the parts overpowered each other. The espresso was strong and the mascarpone topping was thick and creamy but they balanced each other out really well. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Portland!

Love this coffee spot! I walked here after a work meeting and got a lavender matcha and it did not disappoint! Staff was super friendly and everything looked delicious! I will definitely be back! It is located in front of a building on the sidewalk, so not a storefront!

The unique flavors of Less & More Coffee was definitely the reason why I wanted to give this place a try. I only saw the drinks on Yelp, but was pleasantly surprised at how cute of a coffee stall this is! I guess it used to be a bus stop, but got remodeled to a tiny coffee shop with a huge, open counter window. We came right around 8AM on a Friday, and there was only one lady manning the whole shop - taking and making orders, but she was able to maintain a great customer service. Very friendly. I originally wanted to try the Ssuk Latte because I've never tried it before, and my partner had the same idea, so of course, given the opportunity, I'll opt to try two different flavors! I was bouncing between the Hojicha or Ube Latte, and asked which she preferred. I ended up going for an unsweetened Soy Ube Latte (hot) and my partner got a Soy Ssuk Latte (hot). Despite the line that was forming, we still got a foamy heart on our lattes! My Ube Latte is delicious. It's a deep purple color and came with a strong Ube flavor. Even unsweetened, my latte is still mildly sweet given that it's purple sweet potato. I also got to sample my partner's Ssuk, and like described, it tastes a bit like sage. I'm not sure how to describe it other than it tastes kinda earthy to me, which I really liked as well. It's less sweet than the Ube, but also rich in flavor. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for something different other than your normal coffee!

I came across less and More's tiramisu coffee on Instagram and I was excited to try it on my recent Portland trip. It totally lived up to the hype. I placed my order online as I excepted it to be popular and I'm glad I did because there was a long line when I got there. But I was able to skip that and they prepared my order when I got there. The kiosk is in a renovated bus stop. There is no seating around, it's more of a grab and go place. The tiramisu latte was rich and creamy, without being overly sweet. I would highly recommend ordering online if you're in a rush.

Stopped by the next day to try their iced tiramisu latte! I tried to order online but the option wasn't available/closed. The tiramisu latte was served quickly and it tasted ok. It was very cream cheesey and sweet. ------ Grab & go coffee spot! I stopped by around 1 and they were out of the tiramisu latte and cold brew. We ordered an iced matcha latte and maple cold brew that used americano since cold brew was sold out. The drinks came out quickly. My matcha latte tasted like standard, nothing special or mind blowing. I wouldn't order this again. My boyfriend liked his maple "cold brew". I thought it tasted ok and the maple flavor was very light. I'd visit again to try their other drinks like the tiramisu latte or check out their 2nd location. Check in for 15% off!

Incredible cream custard. Wow. Thick and silky and just a hint of salt to contrast the coffee.

TIRAMISU LATTE 10/10 Like many of the other reviews, you really cannot stop thinking of the tiramisu latte once you try it! The service was quick and friendly. The baristas provided us with lots of information before ordering and were very nice! We were there right at opening and there was already a line for coffee and that tells you everything you need to know :) visit less & more, you won't regret it!!!

Coffee from a converted bus stop - how Portland. The coffee was okay tasting, and there were options for Ube and Matcha as well. The price was not worth the result, with extra charges for milk options and for the wait. The baristas were not willing to do any customizations or changes that weren't specifically on the menu, which ruins the coffee shop vibe. There's no where to sit and enjoy your beverage.

Not your average coffee shop at all. In a very unique structure, too! The staff is friendly and the drinks are expertly crafted. And there are plenty of drinks on the menu that will intrigue and entice. I really love this pop-up style coffee shop.

Such a cute coffee spot in downtown Portland! The barista was so friendly, I remember one time I came about 10-15 mins before closing and she was so nice about it and we chatted a lot while she was making my drink and even gave me their last croissant on the house! They do offer bakery goods if you visit early enough in the morning I always missed it tho loll. Im a big fan of sesame latte and Less & More does it right every-time! It's sweet creamy and nutty and it mix really well with the coffee and its not overly sweet either. My friends got the ssuk (mugwort) latte and I've never had anything like that so it was an interesting drink to try, matcha latte was also good. Love and loveeee Less & More will continue to recommend this coffee spot to my friends! Note: parking could be hard bc downtown/ street parking and remember to grab a stir stick if you're a slow coffee drinker like me.

Heard good things about the coffee shop, mostly on TicTok to be honest. But it did not disappoint! The drinks were sooo good! We go the Ube Latte, Tiramisu Latte, and Ssuk Latte. All were amazing! Our favorite was the Ube but the tiramisu was a very close second. The stand is located right outside Bank of America, which we did not realize at first so we had a little trouble finding it, but we're so happy that we did! Would definitely recommend!

This was definitely worth the hassle. I plugged the place into Apple Maps and was lead to a different street. I looked up their Instagram page for a more accurate location and was able to find them. I'm so glad I didn't give up because my drink was delicious!

Less & More is a stand-out coffee try! I repeat, it was a stand-out coffee and must try! They have 2 locations that are close to each but they do serve slightly different drinks. I only visited the coffee stand twice, but it was always popping. At first, I tried the iced black sesame latte, and the cream top was so smooth and creamy. That cream really stood out to me. It was the best black sesame latte I've ever had. I had to return so I came back the next day, and my partner and I had to get both the iced black sesame latte and the tiramisu latte (it was hard to try something new), but both were amazing! We were only here on vacation, so we only had access to Less & More for a brief period but they are really really good! Worth the detour to try!

Such a cute little pop up in downtown Portland. The reviews are all 100% true, get the toasted black sesame latte. It was surprisingly sweet and really unique!

this is a spot the true coffee drinker will dig. the coffee is strong and flavorful, but not burnt tasting like you know where. they have oat milk as do most spots in pdx, and they put my latte in my reusable thermos. it's a stand in the downtown area with a few seats on the side. service was nice and to the point.

It's a small hole-in-the-wall coffee shop right next to a hotel, so we missed it the first time coming by. Because it's small, there was one barista there juggling all the previous orders before us. (So if you stop by, please be patient.) There's a select few drinks, but looking at the pictures online, they all looked really good. I ordered the Cloud Custard Mocha and it was really good! If we're ever nearby or come to visit again, I'm definitely trying more drinks!

If you're looking for a quick caffeine boost, Less & More Coffee is the place to go. The service was good, very friendly workers. The shop was very clean, it is a little stand so there is not much seating. It's more of a grab and go place, a quick coffee stop. The Spanish Latte was very good, with Oat Milk.

Less & More Coffee has been recommended by a few friends, so I'm glad to have finally tried it out. A small establishment located in the commercial area of downtown Portland. Coffee here is meant to be taken to-go. However, I did notice some bar seating available - limited though! Their drinks are quite unique with some interesting flavors like ube, tiramisu, black sesame, etc. that you wouldn't normally see on a coffee menu. I ordered the Ube Latte with soy (an additional charge of $1 for a milk substitution). I found it to be too sweet for my taste and my drink came out not steaming hot which is what I would have preferred on a cold morning. My husband ordered the Cloud Cream Mocha. His came out piping hot and surprisingly less sweet than my Ube Latte. I honestly wanted to trade drinks with him. All in all, cute little coffee spot. The baristas were friendly and quick with making our drinks.

I'm not really a coffee drinker, but being in Portland I had to try out a few of their coffee shops, and Less & More Coffee did not make me regret it. The baristas were so friendly on a chilly Monday morning, and made some amazing drinks. We got the Ube Latte and Tirimisu Latte, and both drinks were amazing. The Ube was slightly on the sweeter side, but it was hot and smooth, and you could really taste the Ube flavor. The Tirimisu Latte wasn't overly sweet, and was so good. They also sold some mochi doughnuts and other baked goods, and it looked like the baristas might have baked it themselves. Of the few coffee places we tried, this one was our favorite.

This is a street coffee place, where you grab and go. They have a typical espresso coffee menu in addition to baked goods and dairy free alternatives. I went with the honey lavender latte and it was really tasty and not overwhelmingly sweet. Orders came out quickly and I would definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area and in a hurry to grab a coffee.

Good coffee spot! Little pricey, but quality of latte was solid and I enjoyed it very much. In a hotel lobby so not much of an area to lounge, so I'd recommend grabbing it to go.

Less & More Coffee is a must stop by coffee shop in the downtown PDX area. Come here before going on your shopping spree! We came here not once but twice in the same weekend during our very short PDX trip. The coffee stand is a pretty small kiosk so there's no seating around. It's more of a grab and go situation. Hojicha latte - Very strong with two shots of espresso and hojicha. The two different flavors blend well together without overpowering each other. The sweetness level is just right as it is without being too sweet. Tiramisu latte- So good even worth the $7 price tag. The foam is thick, creamy and adds a whole depth of flavor to the coffee. The tiramisu topping adds that bitter contrast that really does make it feel like you're eating a tiramisu cake. If you're looking for more than your standard fare of lattes and black coffee, come check this spot out. They offer a great selection of unique drinks that will satisfy your craving for coffee and keep you caffeinated for the day.

The transformation of Lees & More Coffee inside a vintage bus station in downtown Portland was clever and unique! I love the interior design of the kiosk as the transit route map remained by their logo as a central component of maintaining its historical roots. This coffee shop coexisted on the sidewalk, revitalizing structures on the sidewalk. Less construction is better! A simplistic menu of East and Southeast Asian flavors. I ordered the ube oat milk latte with a shot of espresso, and it was crafted with perfection.

I like this spot, it makes me happy It's creative, it's cute, it's good, it's worthwhile. It's a home to a dream that came true so you could experience it too. Don't underestimate their coffee game.

In a sea of coffee places in Portland, Less & More Cofee sets itself apart with fantastic coffee, service, and creative and well executed specialty drinks. This location is located in an old transit mall kiosk that serves as a beautiful unique aesthetic and a blast from the past of transit service in Portland. I probably stop by Less & More or their second location twice a week and look forward to the tasty pick me up. My go-to is the sweet cold brew with oat milk but am in love with black sesame and spanish iced lattes. If you're downtown, this is the place you should be grabbing coffee (or their second location).

Grabbed drinks togo on a Friday morning with no wait. I got the enjoyme latte, sweet cold brew, a cappuccino, and a morning bun. If you're looking for a sweet, creamy drink with a rich coffee soybean flavor, the enjoyme latte will hit the spot. The sweet cold brew thankfully wasn't too sweet and the cappuccino had the right amount of caffeine. Space was quiet - not a working cafe but enough to sit and chat with friends. Definitely a great spot to try some interesting drinks or get your usual coffee!

sesame and cloud cream mocha almost missed this place if it wasn't for the line. there was only one guy working so it took a MINUTE but it was well worth it! if it's worth anything, i felt super safe with all the security guards patrolling the business nearby. nothing shady going on in this area. the black sesame coffee was definitely sesame flavored. toward the end it was a bit grainy but i'm not mad. it was so creamy! great flavor i haven't tried elsewhere. it was reminiscent of asian filled sesame foods. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. the cloud cream coffee is super fluffy and creamy if that makes sense. super smooth and velvety.

I've been wanted to try a tiramisu latte, since I've seen a bunch of coffee shops on Instagram posting about this trendy drink. I was excited to see that less & more had a tiramisu and sesame cream latte. We walked here and ordered at the window. The barista was really nice and the drink came out quickly since there was only one order ahead of us. Just note that you'll have to stand outside in the rain since it's just a grab and go window. The latte was great! It wasn't too sweet and the tiramisu cream paired well with the strong espresso.

Stopped by this coffee stand last time I visited PDX. It was walking distance from our hotel in downtown which was nice. The barista was friendly and recommended some of her favorite drinks. They have some pretty unique flavors. I got the black sesame cream latte and my fiancé got a mocha. My latte was delicious! Super creamy and I could definitely taste the black sesame flavor. The mocha was pretty good as well. Would definitely go back to try other flavors!

I was so excited to try their coffee but unfortunately mine was so disappointing. I ordered a hot hojicha latte and the entire drink tasted like seaweed to me. I don't know if it was the coffee or the hojicha part but it was very difficult for me to drink. I tried my friends black sesame latter and hers tasted pretty good! Nonetheless service was good, they were quick to make drinks and it's located right on the street!

Visited their street kiosk location to try their highly hyped Tiramisu Latte. The service was pretty quick and I stopped by close to their closing time, so the staff were preparing to clean up shop but still delivered with a smile. It was very creamy and I enjoyed the coffee flavor as well, but wish I had gotten a straw or stirrer since I was only getting the drink one layer at a time, by the end I had it all mixed together and it was sweet but I enjoyed it! Hoping to try their Black Sesame Latte next time as I think it will suit my flavor preference better

What a great Asian-owned small business in Portland! Less & More is a Korean coffee shop in downtown Portland with two locations - one at an old bus stop (SW 5th), and another in Sixth building next to Chase Bank (SW 6th). They have a small curated menu featuring unique Korean inspired drinks along with matcha and tea drinks. I got their enjoyme latte with oat milk that features their house-made injeolmi cream (kinako roasted soybean powder with condensed milk). Ryan, the owner and barista, was friendly and accommodated my request for a less sweet drink. He was the only one working that day and managed a line of customers efficiently and with a smile on his face! The drink was delicious! Creamy and nutty, the soybean powder balanced the sweet condensed milk. The espresso was smooth and not acidic. A great drink! My friend also enjoyed her matcha latte. A lovely addition to the Portland coffee scene! Skip the Starbucks at Pioneer Square, and come to Less & More!

I stopped by Less & More for the first time today and loved it! The chai is great and my friend enjoyed the Ssuk latte. The service was great. Our barista was nice and answered all of our questions, even walking us through the menu! The cafe is located in the lobby of another building but instead of feeling cramped or off to the side it makes the space feel lively and a bit secretive. I love the space! Overall it is a great spot to stop by and I would recommend it highly if you are in the area.

I LOVE the coffee scene out here in PDX! This was recommended and I'm so glad we had time to check it out! I didn't realize it's just a coffee stand downtown, so parking is kinda hard to find. The drinks here are good and unique - as in you can actually taste the different flavors rather than just tasting like a normal latte. We tried a bunch! Tiramisu latte, black sesame creame latte, hojicha latte, and ube latte. These were all solid and a good mix of Asian flavors into coffee. The baristas were super nice as well! Great coffeeshop here.

Not just your plain coffee and non-coffee drinks. One sip will have saying OMG! Delicious, creamy, tasty. It's almost a dessert. Treat yourself to something unique. We got the Black Sesame latte and the Tiramisu latte. Loved them both, but if you have. They don't charge extra for cream alternatives. Pro Tip: get a stir stick and stir occasionally as things settle to the bottom. Pro Tip: Yelpers check in and get 15% off There is very little seating outside so best to enjoy outside on a non rainy and warm day. Seating is off the the side which included only 4 chairs. Service was with a smile and the barista give tips to help us decide which coffee we wanted. Definitely check it out if you want something out of the ordinary.

Great tasting coffee served from a cute kiosk by friendly people. Perfect! I had the tiramisu coffee, which wasn't overly sweet and had great flavor with a delicious cream and cinnamon top.

Yummy asian style lattes and non coffee drinks in an old renovated bus stop? Yes please! Dropped by here while waiting for a bus connection near 5th and Salmon. We got the ssuk (yomogi aka mugwort) latte and the black sesame latte. Both were absolutely delicious - sweet but not too sweet. Barista was friendly and patient with questions. I would come back to try their other drinks like ube latte and hojicha latte. Really appreciate having a quicker convenient location for some delicious asian drinks!

Excellent coffee with extremely friendly staff. Pop by, grab a latte or drip, and you won't regret it. Hojicha latte is my favorite, check it out! You may need to beat the rush some times but don't worry, they're pretty quick!

My new favorite coffee shop when I'm in downtown. They have a good selection of coffee, tea, and food. I tried the Ube Latte with oat milk, and it was great. It was the perfect amount of sweetness. My wife also enjoyed her Matcha Latte. The max transit concept is neat. Reminds me of a similar place in NYC. I love their logo and overall vibe. Only one person was manning the station, but they worked fast. Highly recommend!

Gotta say, this little coffee stand was a gem to find during the ice storms and following slush days! Applaud for braving the cold even when not many were brave to be outside! Service was what you'd expect from a coffee stand I guess. A homeless looking person was helped after me, but got their coffee before I did, so to me, that made me scratch my head because I was probably just as cold as that person, but with less layers on lol. My tiramisu seemed to be the go-to for many reviewers, so that's what I ordered. However, I'd say it's a solid 3.5/5 for taste. Presentation was excellent, but the taste didn't match the presentation in my opinion. Overall a 4 for me, for being open despite turbulent weather. Cheers

How adorable is this cafe shop! I got their ube latte and it was amazing! Not too sweet and enough ube! It was indeed delightful! It seems they repurposed a kiosk and it's one of a kind! The baristas here are very sweet and will help you on questions ordering!

overall: 5/5 ambiance: 5/5 service: 4/5 drink: 5/5 this review is for the kiosk location!! i've gone to Less & More Coffee many times in the last 2 years and this is the first time i am finally writing a review about it. i have tried the tiramisu latte, black sesame latte, the iced hojicha latte, and the hot tiramisu coffee. all of which are delicious! i especially recommend the tiramisu latte- the coffee notes are there but are not too strong- especially if you are a tiramisu lover like me. the hot tiramisu coffee also has pretty strong tiramisu flavors, but the coffee itself was a bit more watered down so i would stick with the iced tiramisu latte on less cold days. the kiosk location is the only location i have been to, and it's been a place where i've seen many college students and locals go to, and for a good reason! i find myself craving for their tiramisu lattes from time to time. they are located within an old bus station which adds to their charm on top of their wonderful minimalistic branding. i know they also do pop up desserts from time to time, so i highly recommend checking out this cafe if you are in the area (note: there is no seating anymore, as this is an outside location that is really small and is a KIOSK. in the summer (when i came before) they did have stools set up, but i'm not sure if they do this anymore)!

Everyone once in a while, if I'm downtown, I love going to this cute coffee stand. It was a bus station turned into a Korean coffee stand, and it is so cute. They have a variety of unique drinks as well as pastries and everything is done so well. Although I love all their drinks, I highly recommend their tiramisu coffee as a treat as well as their hojicha drinks as it's very high quality. Service is also always very fast and sweet. Highly recommend.

A very cute coffee shop with Asian inspired coffee drinks. I came here twice during my trip because I liked it so much. I first got the black sesame latte which was very smooth and delicious. Then the next day, I got a matcha latte. A classic. I asked for it unsweetened and it was perfect for me. I also got chocolate croissants both time and they were pretty typical. Would recommend stopping here for drinks!
