Trident Booksellers & Cafe

The food here is mediocre at best, really not worth the hype or the money. It is a cute place (since it’s attached to the bookstore) and right on Newbury so convenient if you’re in the area, but none of the 4 breakfast foods we got were great at all (wouldn’t go back or order again). The menu was extensive so maybe the other food is better. Would not recommend: smoked salmon scramble, taco pancakes, trucker special, or the potato egg dish.

New favorite place in the city for breakfast!!! Reasonably priced food that’s yummy - love! Location on Newbury Street - love! Fun, quirky bookstore to roam through after - love! Seriously, so much to love about this place!!! I’ve been here twice now, and the service has always been amazing!!! So friendly, assertive, and timely. The food has also been good and yummy. This last time, my family and I sat outside, so my 20 month old could watch the trucks go by. The staff were so accommodating and helped bring a high chair outside. Little acts of service and hospitality like this really elevate an experience and make it memorable. We had the best time (except for the bees) and will definitely be back.

The waitresses were so nice and very hard working. The place is a bookstore, but the food is great there too. You can seat yourself and order from the table. Coffee is simple, I don’t really care for the scramble egg, it’s very different from expected. The bacon and sausages are greattttt. The bookstore is lovely and a great place to explore

I’ve lived in boston for years but this was my first time getting their pumpkin pancakes (I usually get their savory crepe). Literally the best pancakes I’ve ever had, I may come back next week. Lovely bookstore and great variety of greeting/birthday cards and puzzles/tchotchkes to get as treats for yourself or loved ones.

Embarrassingly bad. Yay for indie bookstores -- but the food needs a serious revamp. This was a $15+ sandwich and two pancakes for $15+ . I understand the diner-like atmosphere adds to the charm, but this is just pathetic and a serious ripoff.

Lovely visit on Newbury Street! As the name says, it's a bookstore and a cafe, but the cafe section is spacious and right by the windows. It feels like a highlight getting to sit by the windows instead of it being tucked into a back corner of the store somewhere. The food was quality, with the sourdough delicious and the egg perfectly cooked. Ordering was easy. A waitress came by and asked if we wanted paper menus, but we had already ordered due to the QR code right at the table! She came back around to give us waters rather quickly. The table was clean when we sat down, no wipe down needed. They seem very on top of things here. The menu is vast, and there's something for everybody, including vegans. The drinks range from lattes to mulled ciders, and the prices were cheaper than we expected (though still Boston pricing - no $5 sandwiches here). Would return to again!

We had a late breakfast there on Saturday morning. The place was not over crowded but there was a lot of people between who was attending the food and who was looking for the right book to buy. The saff was welcome and helpful. The food is fresh made so expect to wait a little bit for your food to be served, but it's worth it. There were a lot of tables outside for who want to enjoy the sunny morning during their breakfast. The place is clean and well kept.
