This cafe merits repeat visits as I have enjoyed every item I ordered here. We especially liked their savory items such as breakfast sandwiches and the roast beef melt! Unfortunately, the lobster melt is no longer available on the menu or that would be my favourite. Bastion is a popular place for coffee drinkers to work on their laptops here, because there are outlets available by the round table area that looks into the gym. Service is quite efficient and they even offer free coffee grounds for your gardens when available. Hours of operation are great here, as it opens early and continues till dinner time. Lots of free parking available, though the community centre parking lot can get busy. In short, Bastion is a great coffee shop - whether you are here to catch up with friends over coffee or to stop by for a protein drink after workout or to grab a light meal to go or to simply sit down and enjoy some pastry for your sugar cravings...Bastion Coffee Kitchen won't disappoint!

I'm seriously impressed with the coffee and food here. The flat white is one of the better ones I…read morehave in metro vancouver. My friend likes the cortado too. I ordered the roast beef melt sandwich which is their signature and popular item. Well deserved! It's flavorful and the beef is very soft. You can bite through it easily and there's no dryness at all. It's great if you prefer softer food or teeth are not strong. Lots of tables and seating area. It only got crowded when people sat around waiting for their fitness class. The only drawback was the parking. It was almost full! I was lucky to find a spot round the corner. I sure didn't expect it to be so busy. Reminded me of the busy parking lot at Hillcrest CC in Vancouver. Maybe I was there when there were many fitness classes or activities then. Good place to have a bite or coffee after your workout or to meet friends.

The biscuit was perfect--buttery, fluffy, and nicely crusty on the outside. The hollandaise was also quite good. However, the eggs were a bit overcooked for my preference; the whites were solid and the yolks were mostly set rather than runny. Overall, it was a very flavorful meal, and I will definitely return when I'm back on the Sunshine Coast

My boyfriend loves the coffee here, and it's always nice to walk over and support a local business. The service is always pretty quick and attentive, too!

The view from the patio area is really beautiful though there isn't too much seating (also no washroom) so a better bet might be to take the food to go to the Shannon Falls picnic area across the street. I was actually really surprised by how much I liked the roast duck bowl (~$18)! We shared the bowl, and the dumpling sampler (~$12) which has 2 XLB, 2 Ha Gow and 2 Siu mai and came with sauces and chili oil. While it wasn't the best dim sum, it was actually better than I expected (and this is coming from a bit of a XLB snob). I found it to be quite filling and decent amount of veg / duck: the rice was already quite flavourful before adding the additional sauce on top. Overall, I'd recommend this spot for the view and their rice bowls!
