What a lovely coffee shop in N Portland! There is very limited seating (-1 star), but great drinks and great staff! I got their jam matcha and it was delicious! The matcha was strong, great quality, and the jam paired nicely without being too sweet. The interior is very Portland-esque - vintage/modern vibes, which I love. Wish the shop was a tad bigger to accommodate more seating, but we took our drinks and walked around Mississippi! read more

Visited to work at the coffee shop for a bit. The interior was really cute, lots of sunlight. The barista was really kind as well. They only had one barista working that day so it took a bit longer for the drink to come out, but it was a delicious drink. I had the jam matcha latte and you could taste the jam in it without overpowering the matcha. The pistachio croissant was amazing, just the right crunch and sweetness. read more

Flavor of the mocha was not my "cup of joe". However, the barista was super friendly and it is a quaint little space. Not a ton of the space but ample. read more

The sweestest baristas! I got the ginger molasses latte (hot) and it was delicious. My cousin got the jam latte and it was pretty good as well, def more sweeter than the ginger molasses. The vibes are great. Will be back! read more

Not gonna lie, I was a little scared coming to Portland because I didn't know if I was gonna be able to find a decent matcha latte here or not but Bastion definitely hit the mark! The Jam Matcha was very unique and they use a good quality of matcha which was smooth and tasty. The barista was super friendly and made my drink with an extra shot since I prefer a stronger matcha flavor. It's really well designed on the inside and, for parking, there are metered street spots nearby. 100% worth checking out if you're a matcha lover and in the area! read more

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. read more

Small coffee shop that could be easy to miss but be sure you check it out. While it's a small location they do have seating for you to enjoy your drinks if you prefer. I just took mine to go but still felt pretty open. Before checking out Bastion I read some reviews on Yelp and many recommended their peanut brittle latte. I had to opt for this special because i've never seen this on other menus. I got mine iced and it was refreshing and nutty option to take while exploring Mississippi. It was good where I would opt to get it again another time and such a unique latte option. read more

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. read more

Small coffeeshop with not much seating, but cute! The barista was super nice. The maple latte wasn't super flavorful, but it was pretty good! read more

Friendly staff and knowledgeable baristas. Smaller footprint with four desks and bar seating. This intimate setting encourages you to slow down and enjoy the taste of the sweet coffee. I tried a decaf oat milk latte and was surprised by the brightness of the decaf at no additional cost for a substitute milk. Overall, a pleasant experience to start a lazy morning. I say lazy because they open at 8 a.m. I would rate it higher if there were more seating options but seeing how empty it was made up for the lack of seating. Stay tuned for many more coffee reviews!

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We visited Portland from Out of state and honestly I have to say this was some of the best coffee I had on my trip! Very smooth and they substitute milk! I was tempted to try the Jam Latte just for the name and it was very smooth. You can ask for it to be sweetened more if you like but I thought it was perfect. The inside decor and service is 10/10 read more

This is for sure the best latte I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and order the peanut brittle latte, it is just amazing! Service was good, baristas are friendly. The only thing is a really small shop, they have only for tables and people go there to work, so two tables were taken with no chance of being free up soon. We wait like 15 min until a couple left and we could seat inside. After we left some one with a laptop took our table, so I'm pretty sure if you want to get just coffee is difficult to find a spot to sit and enjoy read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Love their coffee drinks! Probably one of my favorite coffee spots in Portland. It's such a cozy spot and it's just outside Mississippi's tourist route. Great place to sit and chill for a while if you can snag a table! read more

The space is adorable and the coffee is great! I had the cold brew before, finally got to try one of the lattes today. Friendly staff and great ambiance! read more

I liked the vibes of the cafe. It was fairly easy to find street parking nearby on a Monday morning. There are maybe 4 tables outside and 4 inside. I ordered the jam latte with oat milk and pistachio croissant from Sparrow bakery. The latte was sweeter because of the added jam. It was interesting to try once. There were other interesting flavor lattes on the menu. The pistachio croissant was a little disappointing because it wasn't flakey at all, more like a bun texture. It's a nice friendly atmosphere to do work or chat with a friend. read more

Met up here to get some time with a friend in the morning. This is a great local spot. The barista was friendly and helpful. My friend got an iced jam matcha latte and I got the hot jam latte with oat milk. I've never had jam in my coffee, it added some Choe sweetness and tartness. Who knew? We polished off the drinks with a pistachio and chocolate croissant. If you're in the area check Bastion coffee out. read more

the workers were awesome but not the drinks unfortunately :( saw this place on Tik tok and was being so hyped up but the drinks were so bland and not very tasty. Very watered down with a very strange taste and honestly a little nasty :( don't be fooled by the internet read more

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. read more

Not a coffee drinker, but Bastion doesn't discriminate! Their chai tea lattes are spicy, warm, and delicious! Had a vanilla chai latte and a maple chai latte and both were SO good! The people seated around me enjoyed jam lattes and ricotta/tomato/basil toast. I tried the honey lemon ricotta toast and it was the perfect blend of warm and bright flavors to pair with the spicy chai! Service was great, drinks were great, food was great. You can't miss with a place like Bastion. 10/10. read more

We had a very good cappuccino from here. They make a good cup of joe... Portland has some seriously good coffee.

One of the best cafes! Friendly staff and the BEST ice coffee! It's a definite stop on our trips to come.

I thought my latte here was particularly good though I'm having trouble recalling the specifics. It's sort of a grab and go place with not a ton of room for hanging out. read more

Love their coffee, the vibes in there are always so chill even when they're busy. Nick made an amazing cortado, and service was amazing!

Coffee is a 3.8 out of 5. Still very good but there are better places here in Portland. Still a lovely place to get a cappuccino.

Food. Service. Ambiance. Coffee is off the chain but if you can get your tastebuds and hands on an Ocean Roll with a Vanilla oat latte, your world will be brighter! Had to bring one home for the next day! read more

Ambiance is awesome, very cute! Barista was friendly. $3 americano but they do NOT have half/half or creamer. Just oat milk and whole milk. As for the taste.... I wasn't a fan. The shot did taste right, a little too bitter for my taste. At first it was bitter but I thought, "ok.. I can get used to it." And then the drink settled and it was just not that great. Street parking out front. read more

Cool little coffee shop, but was not a fan of the roast. The coffee is relatively cheap here compared to similar spots. They charge by the type of milk or creamer you desire. I ended up going with the cold brew with milk. I guess the problem here with not having milk available for you to pour is you can't adjust the ratio. As for the coffee, it had low acidity which was a plus, but the roast just didn't taste all that great. read more

I'm not a matcha so that wasn't for me, but I enjoyed their delicious lavender chai latte! There is limited seating and only a couple spots with power near the seating. There's also limited outdoor seating since it's a small storefront, but that's what makes this place intimate. The staff are friendly and wonderful. I recommend you check this underrated coffee shop out! read more
