Great little coffee shop. We had been wanting to try it as Saejin was there today with her Maritozzi buns, so had to go try both. Loved the tiramisu maritozzi and the maple oat latte! Very mild flavors and not sweet. Latte was very smooth. Buns were fresh and soft with just the right filling.

Less and More Coffee after hearing so much about it, and I was happy to avoid the wait by pre-ordering online. The cafe has a great vibe, and the drinks are interesting, but here’s my take on what I tried: • Black Sesame Latte (Oat Milk): This was definitely the standout. The bitterness of the black sesame paired nicely with the smooth coffee and creamy oat milk foam. However, towards the end, the coffee flavor was a bit too mild (I went with 2 shots of espresso) and lost some of its depth. ☕️ Rating: 6.8/10 • Tiramisu Latte: A popular choice, but it felt more like a milk coffee drink you’d get at a bubble tea shop. Still tasty, but not as unique or complex as the black sesame. ☕️ Rating: 6.3/10 • Hot Purple Sweet Potato Latte: Sweet and creamy, but it tasted like it used purple sweet potato powder instead of fresh, which made it a bit overly sweet. The coffee flavor didn’t come through much, and without the milk foam, it was a bit plain. ☕️ Rating: 6/10 • Hojicha Latte: The roasted tea flavor was a bit too dry and didn’t have the depth I was hoping for. Like the other hot drink, it was a little too sweet. ☕️ Rating: 5.5/10 Overall, Less and More Coffee is a trendy spot with a Korean-inspired twist on coffee drinks. It’s a great place for trying unique drinks, but the flavors could use a little more balance. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!

Visiting from California tik tok recommended the tiramisu iced latte from here and it was truly the best latte I’ve had all weekend. So delicious, perfectly sweet and strong enough coffee flavor in my opinion.
