Our cafe also offers pick-up and delivery via many preferred delivery partners. Trident Booksellers & Cafe opened in 1984 and since then has expanded from a small bookstore cafe to a full-service restaurant and two floors of books. Located on Newbury Street in historic Back Bay, Trident is the last general independent bookstore in Boston. Menu favorites are the lemon ricotta French toast, vegan ca

shew chili, and deluxe grilled cheese. We also have a full espresso bar, a large selection of loose leaf teas, beer & wine, and fresh juices and smoothies. Author talks, cooking demos, and other events are held in the upstairs cafe.

We’re still thinking about last week’s event 🥂✨

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped us kick off the first taste of our new cocktail menu. We loved getting to share these new drinks with you — and a few of you even got to try our Bloody Marys over the weekend, too.

This is just the beginning, and we’re so excited for the full rollout soon. Stay tuned 🍸
