Less and More Coffee ii

the thing about less and more coffee ii is how they understand the balance. less pretense, more substance. you smell the beans before you see the menu, that rich earthy scent that tells you someone here actually cares about what lands in your cup. southwest sixth avenue gets its share of foot traffic, but this place earns its 4.9 rating from 197 reviews because regulars know the difference between coffee and really good coffee. the steam hisses just right when they pull your shot. the ceramic cup warms your palms while you watch the pour. no flashy nonsense here. just the kind of careful attention that makes people walk past three chain stores to get here instead. the baristas actually taste what they're serving you, and it shows. sometimes the simple approach is exactly what downtown portland needs. sometimes less really is more.
