About Trident Booksellers & Cafe
Trident Booksellers & Café is a popular independent bookstore and full-service restaurant on Newbury Street. It is an essential Boston experience, though it can be crowded, loud, and overstimulating—part of the fun. The space is tight and jam-packed, with two floors of books and tables intermingled. The menu has great variety, with large, tasty portions and terrific food, including favorite dishes like Lemon Ricotta Stuffed French Toast. Service involves ordering on an app, which is fast, though service itself isn't very good. The ambiance is quaint and loved, with a terrific book selection, a full espresso bar, and beer and wine. It offers good value for a fast meal in a nice spot.

Quaint place! Great location, food was terrific and the book selection for the size of the building was impressive. Loved it and will be going back.
