Trident Booksellers and Cafe

“Tasty coffee and the friendly staff made the visit special.”

Anas Sayyad★★★★★

Super cozy spot with a great book selection and a chill vibe. Most of the staff were really friendly, but when I went to order my second beer, a short-haired employee asked for my ID again in a rude way, even though I had just shown it to the first person. I get the rules, but the tone could’ve been a lot better, especially for someone visiting Boulder for the first time. Other than that, I loved the place. The live music in the back was great, and the overall atmosphere makes it worth stopping by if you’re into books, coffee, or just a relaxed hangout.

I love this coffee shop. It's definitely my go to for working, meeting a friend for coffee and shopping for new and old books, journals, stickers and vinyls! The staff is super friendly, the super food brownie is delicious and the drinks are great as well!

Matcha was great! Lots of options for books. Lots of seating and they have happy hour too. There is live music and other events. I see why so many people were there.

I absolutely love Trident Booksellers. The curation of literary fiction is incredible—thoughtful, unique, and full of gems I wouldn’t find elsewhere. I always end up leaving with something I’m excited about. The café is such a special bonus. There’s nothing better than grabbing a book and settling in among other readers. It has that perfect cozy, community-driven atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours.
