I think their selection of sci-fi and horror books is one of the best I've seen. Not necessarily the quantity, but the quality. The outdoor area in the back is very relaxing on a nice day. I'll be back.

gentlemen who took our orders was kind and generous and the chai's we got were good. but when i asked a lady working at the desk if they had any drinking classes, she gave me a snarky, bratty look that completely changed my mind about this place.... hmmmmm..... guess she was having a bad day????!!!!

Beautiful coffee shop, but I am astounded at how rude the baristas were. While waiting in line, the baristas were actively making fun of multiple different people in the shop, constantly talking and taking a really long time to make drinks. Three people came to complain about the chai tea within 15 minutes and they just laughed in their faces and said "you don't know what a real chai is" and "you just couldn't handle the spice". I also got the chai and thought it was pretty watery and bland... I think it actually needed more flavor, which is what the other customers were saying as well. They also laughed at someone for ordering a sandwich, then said to the next person in line very audibly "who the fuck did that person think he was for ordering a sandwich here." Wouldn't recommend this place for these reasons. I really hope the owner sees this because their behavior was honestly disgusting, and I heard a lot of people in the shop complaining about their behavior as well. (I didn't get their names but it happened around 4:10 today).

I love this bookstore and the cafe! It's a great place to get work done because of its quiet environment and they sell incredible pastries! The bookstore is an added bonus and as an avid reader I can say they have amazing used and new books in a wide variety

The Trident is one of the last vestiges of old Boulder and it's my favorite coffee shop hands down. It's changed a bit over the years, but it's still got the same spirit it had when I used to go there as a teenager.The house chai is amazing, the tea is amazing, and it just feels so good to be there. You'll see many regulars who have been going there for literally decades. I often run into cool people and old friends at the Trident. Also one of the only places I ever see people playing Go in the wild.The bookstore is great too, and has a lot of interesting material. They have lots of events and stay open later than most coffee shops in Boulder.Trident is a real treasure. Enjoy it!

Really cool mom and pop bookstore located on Pearl Street in the heart of Boulder. Great that tourism and locals can keep local bookstores alive in the modern age. Interior is very chic and the attached coffee/tea/beer cafe is a good touch.

Lovely selection of books and teas. Just really nails it. Great smell from the chai and coffee or whatever it is you're smelling, too. I picked the tea over the books and jotted down the title for later.

I paid for printing (rounded up to nearest $5), but then found that the printer wasn't actually connected to the internet, so it wouldn't actually print my document.

There are 3 bookstores on pearl street and this is the only one we bought books from! This store is small but mighty, with every cover and title drawing you in. There were just so many new authors and books we hadn't heard of, it made us want to explore. I'm already a quarter of the way through the book I bought and it's so intriguing. I would highly recommend this bookstore if you're looking for something new, fresh and interesting to read.

I didn't have any food or drink here so this review is based just on the shop itself, but wow, I loved this place! Sooo many interesting sections and books that you don't see in a lot of bookstores (although I'm biased because I'm super into witchy stuff), great vinyl selection, and great cafe offerings. I loved the older, cozy vibe, and I loved that there was a huge outdoor patio. Wish we had this place in Jersey!

Do not trust this. We needed a print shop at 7pm on a Saturday to print 50 pages double sided. This seemed expensive but better than buying a printer. (Spoiler alert: we ended up buying one at target). After setting everything up we did a test print (which cost like $3). The interface implied it would print on both sides but it instead printed out two sheets. At this point we gave up and went to target to buy a printer. The pricing is deliberately misleading too, additional pages are cheaper but you still have to pay the very expensive cost for the first pages.

Omg i got charged $5 for printing one page!!! That's 15X what I spend printing at any other shop. Be careful!

Horrible. Requires you to pay via deposit which charges $5 which I'm never going to use again so one page cost me five bucks!

Pretty easy process and got my copies quickly. No kinkos or fedex office.
