Initial Impressions

I just took a trip to Portland, USA and casually stopped by a café that has been mentioned by quite a few people: Less and More Coffee ii. For a long time, I have been fascinated by cafés with a gentle atmosphere, delicious drinks, and friendly service, where one can comfortably chill or work. And Less and More Coffee ii did not disappoint me; on the contrary, it offered many interesting experiences that I want to share with you right away.

Overview

Less and More Coffee ii is located at 811 SW 6th Ave, right in the center of Portland, Oregon. Although it is situated in a bustling area, the café still maintains the necessary tranquility and privacy for those who want to escape the city’s noise. The café features a minimalist, modern style combined with a touch of warmth, making it very suitable for office workers, freelancers, or young people looking for a creative space to work or relax.

The café’s space is not very large but is arranged very reasonably, providing enough room for both small groups and solo visitors. Notably, the café maximizes natural light thanks to large glass windows, creating a spacious and pleasant feeling. I find this to be an ideal spot for those energetic mornings or quiet afternoons when you want to find a corner to read or study.

Detailed Experience

• **Space & Design:**

The café uses a predominantly white color scheme combined with natural wood, creating a gentle, airy yet warm atmosphere. I especially enjoy sitting near the large window, sipping coffee while watching the bustling street outside, which is very relaxing. The music in the café is soft, just enough to create an ambiance without being distracting. The space is not noisy, making it suitable for focusing on work or having light conversations.

• **Drinks & Food:**

I ordered a cappuccino and a croissant to try. The coffee was brewed perfectly, retaining the rich flavor of freshly roasted coffee, not too bitter but very aromatic. The frothy milk was creamy and blended perfectly with the coffee. The croissant was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, paired with a bit of strawberry jam that enhanced its appealing flavor. The café’s menu is not too diverse, but the main drinks are carefully crafted coffee, embodying the essence of “Less and More” – simple yet refined.

• **Service & Staff Attitude:**

The staff here are very friendly, enthusiastic, and provide detailed advice when I asked about the types of coffee. I felt the warmth as if I were chatting with a friend rather than a service staff member. Even when the café was quite busy, the drinks were prepared quickly and promptly.

• **Memorable Moment:**

While I was sitting and working, a little cat suddenly ran into the café, making the atmosphere much more lively. Everyone was delighted, and the quiet space suddenly became vibrant. I even took the opportunity to snap a few pictures with the café’s background, which was perfect for posting on Instagram; I felt truly relaxed and happy at that moment.
