"more seldom" isn't natural to me here. The others are possible, but it's not clear whether you're trying to say "In this place they buy coffee more often/rarely than they buy other things (or than they used to)" or "They buy more/less coffee here than they do in other places." I suppose the context may make it clear.

I mean the frequency.

I wanted to make sure which one is correct, more seldom or more rarely.
I've heard "more often" many times, but not those two phrases.
