Bastion Coffee

Bastion is hands down the best coffee shop around Mississippi. The coffee quality is incredible, whether you order a simple espresso, or a signature latte. Each drink has a strong bold taste of coffee, but is also incredibly balanced and never too sweet. We paired our coffee drinks with the Ocean Roll, which although it was brought in from another bakery, tastes fresh and delicious.The cafe is adorable but definitely small, so if you're coming with a large group you can take advantage of their quick service, and take your drinks to go and explore a bit of Mississippi.Definitely a staple when we are staying in Northeast Portland.

We ordered a jam latte, orange creamsicle signature coffee drink, and a tomato puree/microgreen toast. Everything was fantastic and I would consider both drinks as very special not just good. The toast was really good too with a nice presentation. The coffee shop was really cute and tiny. Not much seating. The staff working was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back again.

Super cute cafe! Located on Mississippi, parking can be a bit difficult to find--I ended up just parking in the neighborhood nearby. The inside of the coffeeshop is cute, and clean but a bit small so it's not good for multiple groups. As it was my friends and I's first time here, the barista was so kind and friendly in giving us recommendations. I ended up trying their peanut brittle latte, which was so unique in that they used actual peanuts in it and the scent was very present. Service was super quick. Overall, a great spot to grab a drink and a small chat with friends. But, due to the limited space it's more of a grab-and-go spot.

The drinks were great and the food looked good too! My one recommendation is that if the nice barista asks if you want sweetener in your chai you say yes! They use Soul Chai and while I enjoyed it, it was a bit bitter for my taste (my fault!)The service is great and the barista was super nice. We discussed the cowboy prints on the wall!The ambiance of the shop is great too. The interior seems like a great spot to stop and spend some time working or hanging out.

Morning walk up the Mississippi corridor. Trying to reach the daily Fitbit goal led to the end of the street at Bastion.Cute spot perfect for a break, table for two outside the storefront to cuddle coffee in the brisk morning.Cute story of two besties whos hobby together turned into a community corner for coffee.Lite bites, neighborhood roast & smiley service makes a good weekend start!

Stopped here on a cold Saturday morning based on recommendation of friends and I'm so glad we did. This is a little cozy, chill cafe with a good selection of sweets and great selection of yummy beverages.Along with our Cafe Latte and Jam Matcha, we tried the Ricotta Honey Bolo and the Cinnamon Roll Croissant.Customer service is excellent and our beverages and snacks tasted delicious. This is yet another "must visit place" when we are on the north side of town.

Favorite cafe in N Portland. Their jam matcha latte is to die for and the pistachio croissant is poetry worthy. The ambiance is beautiful and creates a cozy study space if you can grab a spot. Staff is kind and knowledgeable and happy to be there. Cannot recommend this cafe enough.

I'd heard my friend talk about how annoyed she felt every time she got upcharged for a milk alternative at a coffee shop -- and by happenstance, during her visit to Oregon, stumbled into Bastion Coffee. She definitely lit up because tada! Oat milk was standard in all drinks and they don't charge extra for alt milk options! Seriously the haven that she had been searching for all these years. I get her point though -- she didn't choose to be lactose intolerant and the upcharge made her sad each and every time. Cheers to Bastion for helping her feel validated.I got the hojicha latte with a shot of espresso while my friend with a classic oat milk latte. Both drinks were good but bewarned that the hojicha + espresso can be pretty bitter. They did offer to add some sweetener for me but I decided against it and still enjoyed my drink. The space is petite but there were a couple of people doing work inside so possible if you don't mind a tight space and a rotating door of people popping in. Parking is street parking but this area isn't too difficult to park in at all. Drop by if you're in the area and looking for some delicious oat milk goods!

Bastion is a cute small coffee shop! They have the basics of coffee but also a unique variety of specialty lattes that sound delicious! I was visiting Portland for the week and stopped here to try something unique. The barista recommended the cinnamon honey latte and it was great! A little different but not too much. There was four tables inside facing a bench seating area. Also a couple seats in front of the bar area. My friend brought her laptop and there was two plugs on both ends of the tables by the walls only. The seating indoors is competitive if you need to be by an outlet. The playlist was great! I was surprised they had a restroom too since the place is small but it was very simple and cute. Service was quick and watched people get their drinks swiftly. A fun place to try out if you'd like to try a new place with good coffee and a vibe.

Paid $3.25 for drip coffee plus a tip.. she filled my thermos half way and then ran out and said ,"oh that's 12oz".. was prolly barely 8oz.. never made another pot of drop while I was there from 11am-12pm.. Maybe a better spot for espresso drinkers but a too cool school attitude for a simple drip coffee.
