Trident Booksellers & Cafe

Came here with my friend and I’m very impressed! I’ve never had such good food—and such a variety of options!—at a bookstore “cafe” (it was more like a full restaurant to me!). The bookstore itself was adorable, it was very neat and organized and had good selections—it even had this awesome little section of “blind date” books where the book was wrapped and you didn’t know what you were getting! If I ever come back to Boston I will be sure to pay them a visit again.

They have great food here and I like the way the books are organized here. They have a section for “banned books” which I thought was pretty cool. Pretty touristy

Great brunch spot. Went with a group of 4 on a Saturday late morning. Interesting location, being inside a bookstore, so I was hesitant at first.

Service was friendly. Our waitress did a good job of keeping our water and coffee refilled as well. The sangria was delicious.

The food was also really good - no complaints from anyone at the table. I had the salmon cake eggs Benedict. The eggs were poached perfectly. The English muffin it was served on had great texture and density to soak up all of the yolk as well. The salmon cake was also quite good.

Overall, a cool place with good food. Would definitely stop in again next time I'm in the area.

Great food. Probably the best value for your money in Newbury and Boylston. Friendly service. Nice selection of smoothies. Always love that it's a cafe inside a library

Really interesting place, I like the idea that it is a bookstore and a restaurant at the same time. You can buy here cute/funny/weird things and mugs too. The food was delicious, the staff was nice and helpful. I really recommend this place. :)
