Trident Bookstore and Cafe

I had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. It was very busy, but there never seemed to be a wait, there’s tons of seating, including seating upstairs. There’s also a small amount of outdoor seating. We chose to eat at the bar space.

I had the tofu scramble, which is of course a pretty standard vegan option, but it was really good version of it.

I went here with my non-veg dad and we were both pleased. I got the trident bowl (highly recommend!) and he got himself a burger. The waiter was cool and knew what on the menu was vegan and what could be made vegan. The atmosphere was cozy and cool, would be a perfect spot to study and eat but also a nice place for a low-key date.

Wonderful food and MANY vegan choices. What a great experience!!

There are few vegan options in downtown Boston, so Trident is a nice place to stop and grab a bite when you are in the area.

The scrambled tofu is very tasty, yet a bit oily.

Excellent coffee with soy milk.

Trident Booksellers and Cafe is an excellent venue for very small groups or for dates. Lots of small table seating for 2-4.

* Breakfast all day, includes tofu scramble (excellent), Mega Tater Tots (contains cheese, overpriced, but great for occasional indulgences), and plenty of traditional options.

* Wide variety of tea, chai, coffee, with a variety of milk and non-milk options.

* Veg-friendly wraps, including falafel.

Trident has quickly become a go-to place when I want a friendly environment for a casual meal or hot beverage in the Back Bay. I recommend trying it out next time you're on Newbury Street.
