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. Browse our bookshelves and shop our eclectic mix of gifts and greeting cards. In the cafe, menu favorites are the lemon ricotta French toast, vegan cashew 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. And, don't miss our in-house events! Author talks, creative workshops (paint and plant nights), Friday night trivia, cooking demos, and other events are held in the upstairs cafe.
