Trident Coffee Imperial Beach

It was my first time visiting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and kind. The donut the barista recommended was delicious , not too sweet, just perfectly balanced if you want something.

If you get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate! The place is super calm, spacious, and perfect if you want to sit and get some work done.

Most consistent and reliable coffee shop in the IB area. Solid espresso drinks and excellent cold brews, good pastry as well. Reccomend the churro donut. Popular stop with bikers.

I really like this spot. Coffee is delicious and they have protein donuts if you’re looking for a healthier dessert option. They are also very dog friendly and have a nice seating area.

I'm not from here. I'm from TX. My cousin and myself stayed here because we attended TwitchCon. This coffee shop is FRIGGIN amazing! We literally came everyday! The Midnight Vietnamese was superb!!! Please go here and buy all of their coffee!!!!

P.S, the people working here are super nice. You'd think they'd be coffee snobs, but they aren't! Thank you for being nice and making amazing craft coffee!!!

If you're a coffee enthusiast, Trident Coffee should be on your must-visit list. Nestled in the heart of Imperial Beach, this quaint coffee haven is a paradise for those seeking top-notch specialty coffees and an extraordinary nitro cold brew experience.

Upon entering, you're greeted with the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and a cozy sitting area that feels like a home away from home. The atmosphere is both comforting and inviting, making it an ideal spot to relax or work.
The true highlight, however, lies in their remarkable coffee offerings. Their specialty coffees are nothing short of delightful, with each cup crafted to perfection. If you're a fan of cold beverages, their nitro cold brew is an absolute must-try.

They have an original idea of how to prepare coffee, without losing its essence, very good 👌🏻.

It’s right off the bike path which is phenomenal! Tasty cold brew — we had the blackberry cobbler and the old fashioned and both were very good.

Would definitely come back . The iced mocha is good, especially the iced mocha, which is really strong and the atmosphere is great. They are always super friendly when you come in.

5 stars for Trading Coffee Shop! The coffee here is top notch — rich, smooth, and full of flavor. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and it’s the kind of place you can sit down and relax or catch up with a friend. The staff is friendly and go above and beyond. They even remember my name when I come in, and I’ve noticed they do the same for almost everyone. That kind of care really shows and makes you feel valued. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots around!

Best nitro cold brew in the US! monkfruit sweetner for the sweet cream too

I’m Brazilian, and this coffee in the picture is the best I’ve had in US since I moved here (and I’ve tried coffee on both coasts!)

The mocha I had at the store was really good as well! My new fav coffee place!

Ps. If you have a Keurig like I do, I recommend using the iced coffee mode and small size, so your coffee won’t be watery 😉
