Lots of interesting books and good coffee and cookies!

I often fear coffee shops with more than one purpose. This one does both well. Coffee is great and the book selection is diverse.

The atmosphere is subdued but not silent. A nice respite from the daily rush.

Check it out.

one of my favourite places in town. great book selection, amazing coffee and yummy pastries.

love the affordability of the used books and the staff is always very sweet to me.

The store is very quaint. It's really more of a coffee shop than bookstore because the tables are in front of the shelves which makes it awkward to look for a book.

Eclectic new and used books. Very cozy cafe to have a coffee and browse the books, or sit and read.

Quaint and comfortable small used bookstore with a really nice cafe.
The cafe was lively and fun with groups playing cards and board games.
Homemade iced tea and pastries were excellent!
Take your time!

Sometimes even the most wonderful place can be overshadowed by the way the staff interact with guests. That’s why it’s important for me to share my point of view in the hope of making a positive change.

The coffee and pastries are exquisite, the atmosphere is 10/10.
However, today my husband touched the bottom of a cup resting on the coffee machine, after which he was scolded and shamed by a staff member.

I completely understand the importance of hygiene rules, but I believe such matters can be communicated to guests in a more respectful manner. This would help preserve the lovely atmosphere that makes this place so special.

We look forward to coming back and hope our next visit will be as perfect as your coffee.

I’m glad it’s still around. It was my regular cafe many years ago.

Trident Cafe is a book and coffee lovers dream! The warm atmosphere of the business is awesome and lots of different types of books to browse as you enjoy your beverage. A little further from the boardwalk, but would recommend making the walk up!
