A friendly and bustling bookshop with delicious food and super friendly servers. I had lemon ricotta filled french toast with blueberry sauce....It kept me full all day and was worth every bite!! Delicious coffee with refills and a pineapple mimosa! What could be better for a rainy Saturday morning? Love this place and can't wait to come back!
I've been going to the Trident since 1994. It's iconic Boulder.... great people, great coffee, great food, great books. It's unique and fun. I'm grateful it hasn't been gobbled up by big chains or yet another Starbucks. To those of you who didn't have a good experience, give it another shot. Trident is a special spot and I've only had great experiences there in the last 20 years. Thank you to the owners and staff for keeping the Trident alive and well! :-)
Great food, excellent value, wonderful service. Best corned beef hash I have ever had. A hidden gem !!
I love this place and the staff are amazing! Highly recommend it!
I am always seated quickly and with a smile. The menu has something for everyone from a hearty plate of eggs and home fries to homemade smoothies. I’ve tried both and am never disappointed.
What a fun atmosphere to have an excellent meal! I loved perusing the books and quirky novelty items, and the food was delicious. Great service, as well!
Great breakfast food - very good service and a fun place to visit!
I loved this shop so much. If I lived in Boston I would go here all the time.
Wonderful shop!!!!
Great menu. I had the Mega Benedict which didn't resemble Eggs Benedict so much, but was very good and unique. Lots of smoothie options and my group loved the vibe and books to browse. We came at about 10:30 on a Friday morning, were seated right away, ordered right away, and got our food lightening fast.

Great atmosphere, awesome service, food is OK but has TONS of vegan options which is always nice. Def will be going back as soon as they are up and running.
Amazing breakfast!!!! Came here with my boyfriend to start our day off on Newbury St. I had the homemade hash with eggs. It was the best hash I've had in a while. Definitely will be visiting again next time we're in Boston :)
Talk about a cozy and fun bookstore! I haven't fallen in love with a place this hard in a while. The staff is fantastic and they have a HUGE selection of books and other trinkets.
I do not use to eat breakfast but this one is different. I had a great breakfast burritos.I was sitting among books. Books and yummy meals. The great place for variety coffees for vegetarian people among books.
Looking for a spot to enjoy afternoon coffee or brunch with a book. This is the place to visit.
They serve brunch, a good selection of coffee’s the cheesecake is a must try!
The place gets really busy and packed at lunch time specially on the weekends. But nonetheless good place to eat and enjoy some reading. Before heading out you can check out their bookstore and at the center of the store there’s novelty items for gifting.
The place is tight, it would be hard to get into the cafe with wheelchair or stroller.
We were struggling to find good place for pancakes in Boston. There are places that serve pancakes, but they don't look very appetizing, if you know what I mean. This cafe was fantastic, though. It is neat, and clean, and has some fantastic food. Not only pancakes, but their French Toast is excellent as well.
And the service was super friendly 😄
If we're back in Boston, we'd happily visit again.
This cafe & book store had a little something for everyone! My daughter wanted everything she saw…. And so did I. The steps inside are a great opportunity for a fun photo. We decided to dine while there and their hummus was some of the best I’ve had! Sometimes hummus can be grainy but this was so smooth and creamy with a great flavor profile. I got the pita triangles fried which adds a fun, crunchy, yet chewy texture. The muffin grilled was a big hit as well.
Great bookstore and awesome cafe! Visited on a weekday. First stop: the cafe. Had the Truck Stop Special ($15.95) which includes two eggs, one pancake, home fries, and choice of meat served with sourdough toast. Thought it was gonna be some fancy-looking, small portions plate, was glad to be wrong. Big breakfast with lots of bacon and a delicious pancake. Service was good too.
The bookstore is so cool, I went twice. Besides the books, they sell a lot of original, artsy and fun stuff that run the gamut from games to umbrellas. I brought home two beautiful hardcovers, some fancy chocolate bars and a cute bookmark.

Google asked you to rate atmosphere. That is a little bit difficult for this lovely hidden surprise. It’s an actual bookstore with actual books and knickknacks to buy plus a lovely restaurant. So is it romantic atmosphere? Is it a cozy atmosphere? Is it a warm atmosphere. It’s hard to say. It’s suffice to say it’s just a very cool atmosphere. You’re surrounded by all these young people on computers, studying with reasonably priced food in a very expensively priced area. You wouldn’t expect crème brûlée and yet they have crème brûlée. The crème brûlée was prepared perfectly. With a slight touch of lemon 🍋 flavor and a golden caramelize sugar topping. They have a hamburger for $17. They have shepherds pie. Or you can get a small salad and a muffin. It’s just a lovely, lovely place. Service was surprisingly good. Sarah was our waitress and she was attentive. Knew her menu well and very sweet young lady. I suspect she’s a college student. This is where students go to eat in this very expensive high priced area. Look at my pictures. It’s so cool that they have all these knickknacks they sell them along with books. All this, a bookstore 📖 📚 and a coffee shop with great food reasonably priced. For dessert my husband ordered a chocolate Sunday for $2.95. it was a Quality vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup, served inside of a coffee cup. Oh, one more thing I can’t have an accurate review without all the “necessary,” description of the details this little coffee shop has to offer.
THEY SELL BEER 🍻 🍺‼️
A tall beer for $7. And a small salad for a few dollars. The hamburger was the size of my head. Served with a side of tomatoes, lettuce, and a healthy side of french fries. All that for $17. They have a French dip beef sandwich. I can’t remember everything, just take my word for it.
Do you want a reasonable good meal with Wi Fi and be around all these young people? And a beer 🍺 🍻? Go to the Trident 🔱
It’s a restaurant
No it’s a bookstore
No it’s a knickknack shop.
what it is is cool 😎
No, just go to the trident.
Absolutely loved this cafe concept. It’s such a good mix of books and food. Their breakfast menu is amazing. Pro-tip, download the toast app to get a discount when ordering.
The book section has a wide selection of books to choose from.
This place is magical. I have nothing else to say. The food is amazing, beautiful and tasty. The waiting staff is kind as well as helpful. Moreover the touch free ordering system is perfect for my introvert brain. The bookshop part is also perfect, offering, a wide range of books, bookmarks and other little gifts. This place is a dream come true.

This is one of the best independent book stores I've been to in my life... and it also happens to have an amazing cafe, too? When can I go back? I absolutely adored this place from the moment I saw a picture on an Instagram post. I saw a picture of their stairs, which look like the spines of famous books, on an Instagram story of a teacher I follow. I knew I had to go when visiting Boston. When I found out it was less than a 5 minute walk from where we were staying, I HAD to go. When I finally crossed the threshold, it was like a dream come true. I love books, and it was clear they wanted visitors to enjoy the many books they had. They had a wide variety of books, too. Only wish they had the Horrible Histories books. It truly had something for everyone! And the food in the cafe?! Oh my word. I only had breakfast there, but it was so good that we went back another day to have it again! Each time, it was fast, delicious, and so filling! We still talk about it! I can't wait to go back someday!
Located inside of a cool book store, this Cafe never disappoints. There is a decent amount of seating. The food is always great and the staff is pleasant.

A super cute, convenient, and speedy spot offering a variety of all-day breakfast and hearty lunch/dinner items, and stuffed inside of a delightfully crowded indie bookstore.
We got the poutine and Cape Codder sandwich. The fries were decent but definitely not traditional, nor what I was actually hoping for. The fries were good enough but the mountain of shredded cheddar and stewed beef on-top (instead of duck fat gravy and cheese curds) definitely made this dish entirely one-note, falling flat almost immediately. Hot sauce helped, but the dish couldn’t really be saved.
The sandwich was very tasty, with the challah bread offering a fluffy, chewy, sweet contrast to the deli turkey. However, the size of the sandwich definitely would warrant a denser sandwich; what I mean is, there wasn’t much turkey or bacon on there at all. The bread does most of the heavy lifting here, which is a shame because the teaspoon amount of cranberry mayo we tasted was excellent. They skimped out. The sandwich would also benefit from a second pickle on the plate, but I digress. It comes with chips.
This is truthfully like a 3.5-3.8 star place but because of the environment and menu and service, I’ll round to 4. I’d definitely go back, but with my expectations just a bit lower than what the menu would suggest.
I loved this bookstore cafe so much that I went back twice. They’ve got two floors of restaurant space and an enormous selection of new books, including a hefty YA and fantasy section. Loved the portion sizes.
The ordering system here is so efficient. You scan can a QR code, place an order, and the food will be in font of you.
There are so much food to choose from the menu, and I hope you guys enjoy picking your favorite breakfast. We chose the French Toast and Egg Benedict. The portion here is big enough for us to share.
The atmosphere is nice, you will dine in a bookstore.
Trident is the perfect place to hole up on a rainy day. I visited on a gloomy morning and spent hours enjoying a variety of hot drinks while I typed emails and read. Their ordering system is incredibly efficient. Diners can access a full menu, order, and tip servers from their phones. Food is brought out steaming hot in almost no time at all. LOVED the all day breakfast! Midday fluffy pancakes are the key to my heart.
Their book selection is as vast as their menu, I especially enjoyed their selection of rare film theory books. I discovered a library of titles I’ve since had difficulty accessing online. I was delighted after a day here, I’m looking forward to my inevitable return.
Awesome combination of a bookstore and a cafe with really good food. We dropped in for lunch on recommendation from a cashier at the nearby TJ Maxx, and were not disappointed. I had the Chamato Sandwich (fried chicken with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, with garlic/chive aioli on rosemary focaccia), which was terrific. The side of fruit was quite large, with ripe strawberries, honeydew, cantaloupe, and grapes. My daughter got the Quiche Lorraine, which was also quite good. The only miss was the Trident Bowl, which my wife got. Service at the cafe was friendly, but our waiter seemed a bit, shall we say, dazed.
The bookstore is great -- huge selection, many sale options, lots of helpful staff recommendations. Here's hoping the small indie bookstore resurgence continues with more shops like this!
Love the atmosphere and the food every time I try the brunch here. The servers are very friendly and great. Overall great experience!
