Located inside grand central market it’s a Lovely breakfast spot with delicious pastry options as long as you go in early. The pistachio bun was my fav!! 🤌

I bought the guava croissant it was sweet and tasty. I was going to buy some more to take home. When I saw the guy taking all the bread out and putting them in the trash can. I asked him if I could buy them he said we are closed. I couldn’t believe it. Why not sale it half price or give to a homeless shelter. This is really sad if this happens every day. Waste of food and work if they really do bake the stuff themselves.
The gluten free donut is disgusting. No flavor, the frosting tastes like plain oil. If you’re going to offer a GF option at least make it edible. I highly suggest the owners visit Modern Bread & Bagel or Fonuts to see what a GF donut can be then stop selling this sad weird bland cake thing.
Staff were nice everything else looks beautiful it just really sucks when someone with celiac gets excited to have an option they can try and then it’s gross. :(

I got the cardamom brown sugar latte and it was SO GOOD. Perfect, amazing, no notes. Exactly what I needed this morning.

The Baseline: For a bakery the bread has to be crusty, dough-rific goodness, great accompaniments per the bakery’s theme, and good coffee/drinks.
Food: For a small shop and stand, Bastion stands out with the array of fun, unique pastries available. I got a guava croissant with an iced drip coffee. The croissant was buttery and flakey with the good hint of guava. Presentation was gorgeous! The iced coffee was a good iced coffee.
Service: Considering this is a volume service type of establishment, the staff were still friendly (as the time permitted). Very helpful and nice.
Ambiance: Grand Central Market is bustling and full of energy. You will be craving your food as you stress to find your table. It isn’t a relaxing brunch experience but once you sit down and claim your space you can ease into your outing fun. Bastion is a part of that fun downtown Los Angeles vibe.

Cozy bakery located in Grand Central market serving warm and fresh pastries, bagels, and variety of breads. We also got their coffee which was freshly brewed. Definitely recommend their cold brew and any choice of pastry for breakfast as you walk through and explore the Grand Central market.
The only bakery opened early in the morning in the market! Ordered their guava croissant, apple poptart and Spanish latte. The guava was nice and had the right portion of jam - not too much but also not too little. Apple poptart was nice too. The Spanish latte is interesting, it's a good warm drink to start the morning!
Service was great and the shop looks simple, compact and clean. A good place to get some quick breakfast since everything is already ready before the counter!

If you don’t pair your sweet treat with a coffee or matcha from Bastion then you are doing it wrong. Everything is delicious!!

My group shared a Guava Croissant and Pistachio BK Bun. We thought both were good. I think the croissant was decent (especially the crispy tips) but, I think the cream cheese was too thick for my taste since my throat felt a bit sore after eating slightly more than a fourth of the croissant. We tried the BK Bun after a day so it wasn't fresh but I liked it. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was able to warm it up
A solid coffee/matcha spot at the Grand Central Station.
I ordered a matcha latte hot with whole milk and it was delicious. The right temperature and the flavor was perfect. A solid breakfast drink. I tried their stuffed donut holes and a cookie of theirs. Both were delicious and with the coffee it was an excellent breakfast snack.
I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

There is no bakery in DTLA that comes close. Every single thing is delicious.

Mixed feelings. The pistachio croissant looked good, but really wasn't interesting at all. Coffee was fine. Staff friendly. Wouldn't go back.

Amazing Nutella Croissants! I went back for another one before my flight back home.

Visiting for work and happy to find this shop open early. I got a delicious Spanish latte, gingerbread bombolini and a guava and cheese croissant. Everything was fresh and flavorful, excellent friendly service. Not cheap but worth it.
