Super friendly staff and clean environment even though it is a bit small! Would highly recommend if you're in coronado island. The drinks are delicious but a bit pricey. read more

A tiny little coffee house. Pricey but tasty... LEMON LAVENDER CAKE DONUT: -- very pleasing aesthetics -- good lavender sniff along with lemon -- light towards medium sweet -- very moist, not oily or greasy -- super dense cake texture looks and tastes awesome -- $5.00 or more RATING = A+ It's too bad they did not have their seasonal MAPLE PECAN CAKE DONUT I saw on Yelp, but such is the seasonal life. I bought a can of their NITRO SWEET CREAM COLD BREW ($7.00 plus) but shafted myself by leaving it in our hotel fridge. Well at least staff got an early Christmas gift. Sharing is caring. :) I nearly considered buying a sack of COFFEE BEANS that were bourbon barrel stored or something, but I was too scared to see the price after already spending more than usual. read more

Came back because I love the choices! Lots of new choices! Flavors, baked goods and some of the friendlier baristas you will find? read more

I love to see a coffee shop that has both the classics and an extensive specialty coffee menu. I visited on a cold and gloomy day so I went with a classic- The London fog. I really wanted to try ALL of the speciality cold brew drinks because they all sounded delicious. I'll certainly be back to try more of their offerings. I went with the 16 oz London fog which had 2 tea bags in it although I feel it could have used 3 because it tasted a little watered down. Inside is small with a few seating options but the decor is super vibey. Customer service was excellent, super friendly and helpful. Thanks page. read more

Fantastic coffee shop. We stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon. The cafe is small and cozy. There's about two tables inside and one table outside if you want to enjoy the outside air. The menu is straightforward with their specialty cold brews and other drinks. We went for the cold brew flight. The staff gave us a few recommendations and we also picked our own. We got $1 off our flight from the Yelp Check-In. The flight came out in less than 5 minutes and it's actually a good amount of cold brew! We really enjoyed sampling each flavor. Our favorite is the dark roast cold brew. Overall great experience at Trident. Staff was very personable and gave us great recommendations. The cold brew flight is a must and it's very reasonably priced! read more

Trident Coffee - Cold Brew Coffee Flight! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coronado, California

Trident Coffee is absolutely fantastic! What really stands out is the coffee itself: it's low acidic and incredibly delicious. It's the kind of coffee you can actually enjoy without that harsh after-feel. I also love that they make it easy to stay "health-minded" without sacrificing taste. They offer functional add-ins like creatine, collagen, MCT, ashwagandha, and more. Plus, the coffee boxes with adaptogens and nootropics are such a clever idea, like everything is curated for wellness from the start. And let's talk baked goods, almost all of them are gluten-free and keto, which alone is enough to make us come back again and again. The options make it feel like you don't have to compromise. The staff at their locations are also truly wonderful: friendly, welcoming, and ultra helpful every time. You can tell they care about their customers. On top of all that, Trident Coffee is a veteran-owned business and they even offer military discounts. Big respect. Hooah! read more

Ok coffee, Good service but coffee was just Ok for me. Not too much depth of flavor. I'd likely explore other places next time I am down in Coronado. read more

Cute little coffee shop right on the main road. I got the matcha latte which, according to the menu, is ceremonial grade. I thought the matcha could have been sifted a little bit bigger as there were some clumps at the bottom, however, it's definitely better than your average matcha latte from any random coffee shop. read more

Trident Coffee - Matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coronado, California

We were walking down Orange Ave in Coronado and I needed caffeine. I had heard Trident is veteran owned and we will always support small businesses especially veteran owned. We stopped by Trident and it was packed! Now, the service was SO friendly and welcoming and while it was busy they were getting everyone's orders out quickly. They have a lot of options and it was hard to choose. With new spots I generally use a caramel latte as my baseline. The prices are on par and my caramel latte was full of flavor and great! I would definitely stop back in when in Coronado! read more

Drinks taste good and portion is good even if its a little pricey. They offer different types of drinks that other places dont have. This location in particular has good service and is clean inside. Nice place to stop into and grab a drink while walking around. read more

Walked in on a rainy Wednesday afternoon and no one was in the coffee shop. No patrons & no employees. I waited for a few minutes. Said, "hello, anyone here?" No response. Called their phone number as I stood at the counter waiting to order. No answer (and I heard it ringing in the back). So I waited a minute or so longer stood outside to see where the next closest coffee shop was...Starbucks two doors down. Would have loved to support a local business rather than Starbucks. Oh well. read more

This review is for the brand-new PB location on Mission Blvd. ( across the street from Breakfast Republic) Hope we for three weeks their specialty is Cold brews, and let's say you'll have multiple options. I'm a coffee purist, so we went with the Doppio espresso and the drip ( dark roast ). Both were lovely, and I like the coffee caps and how they feel. The treats are fantastic, no sugar, keto-friendly, and I was surprised the blueberry crum Le had 20 grams of protein. Right on! We were welcomed by excellent staff, Andre and Lauren, who will help you navigate your cold Brew journey. We're coming back to try a flight. read more

Vet-owned, organic coffee. Very tasty. Cool t-shirts too. Friendly staff to strike up a nice casual conversation too.

We tried a coffee cake protein donut and my husband wasn't a fan - I thought it was good and a unique concept. Loved the look and feel of the shop - small but cute with some nice swag and great coffee menu. Friendly gals inside and a few seats as well as outdoor tables. read more

Such a cute little space! Claire was so genuine and engaging. She helped me decide on which cold brew to get and if did not disappoint! I tried the coconut protein donut too which I'll be dreaming about for the foreseeable future! Ha Great service and great products too read more

This is a small but cute place along the strip in Coronado. There's a few seats outside the place and the inside has a ton of promotions, swag, and other community events. I came here looking for something a lil different and funky with my coffee order rather than getting something more traditional and known. This place is definitely good for an unique taste. I think that's the best part of it! There's plenty to choose from that will shock your taste buds! I went with the cognitive mushrooms coffee with coconut milk. The service was quick. There were about 3 people ahead of me. I was with coffee in about 7ish minutes. And the people were friendly. Why it was a 3 star? Because while the coffee tasted unique, I didn't really feel a good sustained boost of energy. So if you're looking for something to last you a good 5+ hours maybe add a shot to yours read more

Bad. Like real bad. Like can't finish the drink cuz it was so bad. This place is sooooo overrated. There was so much hype and it was so disappointing. Coffee was bitter, lattes had no flavor, the waits were super long, despite not being terribly crowded. The place is nice and service was warm, but it's really hard to get over how bad the coffee was. read more

Just love this place. Not just for its cool ascetics, but the amazing coffee. The other places that charge you the same for just regular coffee with a side of a ton of sugar. This place offers you awesome additional ingredients- I attached the menu :) The staff is so kind and knowledgeable. I only go here for my coffee or tea when I visit ;) don't sleep on this place, I promise you'll love it! read more

Very disappointed. Saw all the good reviews and decided to try it out. I got the Mexican mocha cold brew with a splash of almond milk and a horchata cold brew specialty drink. Literally tasted like watered down coffee. ‍ service was good and merchandise was cute but waste of money in my opinion. read more

Trident Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Coronado, California

As you can see from my store front pic and 2 inside pics, this is a small, quaint coffee and baked goods shop. As you'd expect from the name, there was a thread of a nautical theme. But what sets them apart from the other quaint places is their coffee. I can taste why they won recognition, see pic. Staff was very helpful into my venturing of cold brew coffee (I'm really a cup-of-joe type of guy.). As you can see from my pic, I paired a light roast Nitro Cold Brew with a protein donut - this was an excellent combination! The cold coffee on this summer day hit the cool spot. It was refreshing, still had some robustness for a hot day, a wee bit of a bite to let you know it's there and smooth as it went down. I haven't had a protein donut before. It had some heft to the cake without being doughy or dense. I'm a mixer; the donut flavor was mild but was enhanced with a slurp of coffee flavor. This donut was made for dunking. (I know I'll be judged by connoisseurs, but it was quite a good combination.). I'd gladly do this again and come back. (I'll make an exception here, but I'm still a cup-of-joe guy elsewhere.) read more

What the heck -- 5 stars! I didn't expect much from a small coffee spot on Coronado, but the nitro cold brew at Trident Coffee blew away all my cynicism with one sip. The brew is unbelievably smooth, leaving no trace of that sour tang you sometimes get with other coffees. It's the kind of drink you keep sipping even when it's near empty, hoping more magically appears. The interior is tiny but endearing, offering just enough seating for a quick chat or a moment on your laptop. Sure, the price sits above average, but that feels like a fair trade when you factor in the best nitro cold brew I've ever tasted I went for the straightforward Trident Cold Brew, which tasted crisp and fresh, with a texture that felt more like silky foam than liquid. My girlfriend tried their horchata latte specialty cold brew, where cinnamon sweetness seamlessly folded into the coffee. It's not just a caffeine fix -- it's a subtle nod to what expertly crafted beverages can achieve. Trident Coffee feels like the spot you stumble into once, then find yourself craving at odd hours just to recapture that first sip read more

LOVE THIS COFFEE SHOP!!! I don't frequent Coronado often but when I do, it's a mandatory to stop to get some of my favorite liquid gold. I love how eclectic their menu is, from their choices in the glass window with donuts and pastries *savory or sweet*, to their caffeine selection. Honorable mention the honey lavender latte, never disappoints! (Bring back the golden milk latte!!! Please) Today, I found myself in Coronado reffing a USA water polo tournament and I intentionally made time to stop in for some sustenance to quench my palette. Trident gives the perfect ambiance of local beach town meets coffee shop. I love the detail and the assorted merchandise right when you walk in. They also have a fridge with their cold brew in a can. Easy for travel purposes. Xavier warmly greeted me and let me boast about how excited I was to be there. It's always so comforting to have a barista feed your hype moment. LOVE YOU FOR THAT!! He made a delicious beverage that was so gratifying to walk back on deck with. Even without my favorite drink on the menu, I still come back for the service and wonderful caffeine to push me through my day. As a lover of the sea, this mermaid will always hold her trident high. Can't wait to come back! read more

I just had a great experience at Trident Coffee. First is that the small cafe is very charming, and second is the very friendly staff. I wanted to ask a question about the Cognitive Mushroom and the guy was very helpful and willing to listen. I mentioned I was fasting and doing keto soon, so he casually mentioned that he knows about keto and that they have keto donuts, so I got 6 of them, delicious. I will be going back here again. read more

great coffee, it's right next to the imperial beach bike path. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Saira was so helpful and really knew her coffee!! read more

You had me at gluten-free donuts and functional coffee beverages. One of IB's best comes to PB. Excellent new addition to the neighborhood, a block from the beach and right on the corner of the same block the Vans store is on. Enough seating for a morning coffee or lunch break. May get crowded during prime time on a summer weekend. Clean, welcoming, and overall just awesome. read more

The location is near the beach, making it a great spot to grab a coffee and go. The prices are on the higher end, but understandable given today's economy. I decided to try Trident Coffee since it had excellent reviews and I was nearby. The service was helpful and friendly. There are a couple of seats both inside and outside. I ordered the New Orleans Cold Brew and it was not bad. However, the cold foam overpowered the cold brew. I believe this drink would be enjoyable for anyone with a sweet tooth. I plan to come back and try a regular cold brew without any additions. The cold brew itself is smooth, somewhat acidic, and not bitter at all. read more

I think I'm an anomaly... I really wanted to like this place because of the stellar reviews on here but I was unfortunately disappointed. My boyfriend and I decided to try this place on our walk around Coronado. The interior has a cute octopus (?) design; very cool and unique. The barista was also extremely nice as well! As for the drinks, we got the salted caramel mocha latte and the new orleans cold foam. The salted caramel mocha had an abundance of mocha syrup on the sides, whipped cream, and extra sauce on top. It was too creamy & too sweet that it masked the flavor of the coffee. The New Orleans was good on first sip, but also was too sweet as well, masking the coffee. You might be able to adjust sweetness but we weren't given the option so I'm not sure! The weird thing was that we both had a weird protein-y aftertaste? Had me wondering if they were protein lattes considering they had other protein desserts in store (not to mention I think it was around $14 for two 12 oz drinks). Either way, it's worth a try if you're around the area but I personally wouldn't be going out of my way for the drinks :( read more

Stopped by here for a quick caffeine boost and was excited to see that this place specialized in cold brews. The interior was very clean, the vibes were comfy, and the customer service was very polite and friendly. I ordered a blackberry cobbler latte and it was delicious! It was refreshing and not overly sweet. I saw they also had protein donuts which looked intriguing - give this place a try! read more

The service was excellent. The cold Mexican mocha drink was delicious. I'm not a fan of gluten free pastries, but I really loved the chocolate croissant! No, it's not flaky like a French croissant, but the pastry was still good and was chock full of chocolate and almond paste. It had substantially more chocolate than most croissants. It literally was dripping down my hand. And the combination of the almond and chocolate together was brilliant! First time I've had that combination in a croissant. Give this place a try! read more

Fantastic cold brew and fun healthy donuts. They aren't as good as regular donuts but they are high in protein...more a keto pastry than a donut really....I love that they are packed with protein! The nitro flights here are super amazing though and I'll keep coming back for these! The merch is fun and the service is friendly. I wish the sugar free syrups were tastier but I'm glad they at least have the option read more
