Sona T.

Very good coffee and a great spot to take a break. They have gluten free pastries and a nice selection of unique cold brew drinks that are definitely worth trying. The protein bar was also delicious.

Mirei K.

The coffee was very good! I usually don't like coffee too much but their horchata drink was perfectly sweet. The drink did take a lot longer to make than I expected but it's a small shop with minimal staff so it makes sense. Cute interior and small seating area

Shins T.

My family and I were staying at the Hotel del Coronado for the week and we wanted to find a local coffee shop for breakfast. Trident Coffee came highly recommended, but sadly it did not hit the mark for us. We ended up going to Better Buzz the following days for our coffee and breakfast fix. This place is not cheap for a quick brekkie and coffee. I ordered the Daily Rations Cold Brew with Cold Foam ($7.70) and a Breakfast Burrito ($13.95) which came out piping hot. The burrito is not hefty by any means, but this is Coronado and not San Diego proper so I don't hold that against them. Think of it as more of a wrap. My one complaint about the burrito is that the filing is chopped up and coated in sauce so it's just a mushy experience (see picture). I was stoked when I read that it included hash brown, but since it wasn't a whole crispy hash brown, you couldn't tell the hash brown from the egg or the sausage coated in the cheesy sauce. I hate to say it, but it just tasted sloppy. The 2 gentlemen working are passionate about their craft and very friendly. This place is popular with the locals and military community and I respect that. They do offer a military discount for those eligible. Thank you to all who have served and are currently serving. I'm glad I visited and supported a local business, but this place just wasn't for me.

Honey Lavender Latte, Blackberry Cobbler Latte

Sarah C.

super cool store known for their specialty cold brews! we tried the Honey Lavender Latte and Blackberry Cobbler Latte, and they certainly add enough cream/ flavor that they taste more like lattes, but with the cold brew bases. drinks weren't insanely sweet, definitely recommend if you want to be adventurous!

Lisa C.

Solid choice for a coffee fix. We tried the salted caramel cold brew and hazelnut latte. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the cold brew coffee was. Usually I'm not a fan of cold brew because I like my coffee a little more on the creamier side. Very unique flavors. Service was also good. They have military discount as well. We didn't see the sign until after we've already paid. But good to know!

The lavender latte and the Bourbon latte

Janette C.

We absolutely loved this local coffee spot! Not only was the coffee a great taste but the service was amazing. We took a stroll while on vacation and found this great gem.

So I'm definitely an espresso girlie and haven't had cold brew in a while so I was a little scared lol but it was very good. I like my coffee semi sweet and I did the salted caramel mocha cold brew and it was perfect. Would definitely go back.

The nicest barista ever giving Cali her pup cup

Eliko S.

My pittie, Cali, and I popped into this adorable coffee spot on Friday afternoon. I'd just gotten some gelato down the street & Cali was feeling a little left out of treat time, so we were in search of a pup cup! We bopped into Trident Coffee which is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever seen! Cool nautical looking light fixtures, an Octopus mascot keeping watch over the place & lots of interesting coffee, tea & nibbles options. There are a few chairs inside & few tables/chairs outside as well. The kindest barista ever was so excited to see us, especially Cali, and he made us feel so welcome. He kindly offered her a pup cup and he delightedly gave it to her. Cali loved every aspect of this interaction & I really appreciated how nice he was to my pup. This interaction really warmed my heart so much and I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Coronado! Mahalo!

Best cold brew i have ever had! It was so smooth with no bitterness. I usually drink oat milk iced lattes but i would have Trident cold brew everyday if i could.

My friend wanted to go for a birthday run in Coronado. I wanted coffee right after the run which was something I looked forward to as I pushed myself to finish the run LOL. I found this shop with a variety of cold brew options which also included nitro cold brews on the tap! As a coffee drinker, I definitely had to check it out. The location that we went to is located next to some local shops on Orange Ave in "downtown" Coronado. There's a lot of free street parking around the area but could get very hectic and almost impossible to find during holiday season, dinner hours, and weekends. My boyfriend and I wanted to try their cold brew flight, however, they only had 2 sets for the flights which was already taken by another couple. Whaaat sad. Instead, I got their New Orleans Cold Foam, one of the cold brews, annnnd it was kind of sour. It was kind of confusing, giving sweetish taste but with the sourness kept overcoming the coffee bitterness that I was looking for. I personally don't like sour cold brews but that's my own preference. Some people might enjoy them sour, but I don't think they should be sour... However, my friend and boyfriend both liked it though. My boyfriend got their Mexican Mocha, not sweet at all surprisingly! It was quite good, and the aesthetics of the drink were beautiful! Definitely a lot better than the one I got. I was bummed that I couldn't try their cold brew flight but after trying the New Orleans Cold Foam, I was a bit glad that we didn't. Maybe it was a one off day where their cold brew was steeping too long... I definitely will give it another go in the future to try their flight in the future though.

Whitney T.

I got the trident cold brew with oat milk and my bf got the turmeric latte with oat milk. Usually i am a fan of sweeter milky coffee drinks but i was pleasantly surprised with my cold brew drink! It was very smooth and didn't taste bitter at all. Normally I add sweetness to my drinks but the cold brew was super refreshing on its own without any sweetness. The turmeric latte was sweet and had a cinnamon taste and my bf loved it as well. Would love to come back the next time I am visiting Coronado!!

Jason L.

I'm a cold brew kind of guy. Trident is a big W for me because they offer several varieties of cold brew, fancied up versions with added flavors and sweeteners and even cold brew flights. Swoooooon. Quaint little shop right in the thick of it on Orange Ave in Coronado. Close to the beach, tons of people watching and very walkable. Clean establishment and friendly service.

Acai was delicious and at a great price, didn't have strawberries and bananas like usual but did have goji berries and peanut butter. Cute cafe to pick up donuts and cold brew. Seating inside and outside with kind service.

Recently started to visit Trident on my breaks at work and love their coffee. My usual is an iced Americano, but have picked up cold brew a few times and am a huge fan. Have also picked up a few bags of Trident and Dam The Torpedos to make my own cold brew at home. The decoration inside is very cool, and so many things to look at while you're waiting for your drink.

My wife and I live in La Mesa but had to stop by Coronado and since we were in town, couldn't help but pop into Trident. We were overjoyed to not only discover all of their Gluten Free options but their health-minded coffee options too! Dana and Hannah were both at the height of their powers, with Dana being extremely quick/efficient with our order and Hannah being an absolute delight to speak with. We got the Blackberry Cobbler latte, a Collagen latte, a chocolate donut and a jalapeño cheddar bagel. The coffee was smooth and tasty and the pastries were delicious (without being too sweet)! Great food, coffee, and service. We'll definitely be coming back to Coronado to see them again. read more

Trident has brought their great Nitro Cold Brewed Coffee to Coronado with some great baked good too! They offer a great range of cold brews form light to dark, including decaf as well. There on the premise bakery offers Keto and Vegan baked goods consisting of donuts, muffins, bagels, and a unique cinnamon rolls. It's a small shop with limited seating out side on the sidewalk, but they have a lot of good stuff to offer. Very good friendly service. I like the way they take the time to go over all their products. read more

Trident Coffee specialises in nitro cold brew coffees. Each of them has a unique name (reference to Navy) and flavours. They are on tap so you can order your cold brew and get it right away. Whether you get a light or dark roast, their cold brews are flavourful, very smooth and not bitter at all. I've been here few times and their staff have been always friendly. They have locations in Coronado and Imperial Beach. So if you are in the area, you should definitely try Trident Coffee. read more

The customer service was outstanding--friendly, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. We tried the seasonal macadamia nut drink, and it was an absolute 10/10. It struck the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. We also had the lemon lavender donut, which was equally impressive. Moist, flavorful, and not overly sweet--it paired beautifully with the drink. Both seasonal items were a real treat! read more

Just went to the new location in Pacific Beach and it did not disappoint! They have a variety of cold brew and coffee options and put a healthy twist on classic drinks. I got the Mexican mocha. It was very good but definitely very chocolatey/milkey. So if you aren't in the mood for a dessert drink I would opt for something else! However as a sweets lover, I thought it was great. We also tried the keto churro donut. The donut itself was pretty bland but the sugar on top helped. It is a great option if you are looking for a healthier donut, but personally I would probably just go for the real thing if I was in the mood for a donut again! The new location is also right by the beach so it's the perfect pit stop on your next morning walk:) read more

History

Established in 2017.

Crafting America’s Finest Cold Brew.

Meet the Business Owner: Eric J.

Serving as a Naval Officer, Eric Johnson started brewing his own cold brew coffee during his final tour of duty in Iraq. He noticed how coffee and tea act as a bridge between cultural differences. All of the chaos of conflict would pause between him and village elders for a brief moment while enjoying a nice cup of coffee or tea together. Two cultures born a world apart were communicating on so many levels without saying a word- that was it! Eric had found his calling and thus set out to create Trident Coffee Roasters.

My husband loved his coffee and said the espresso was smooth, flavorful, and let the coffee shine without being overcomplicated. The shop itself is really cool too. There's an art installation inside, an outdoor patio with additional seating, and I noticed quite a few people picking up bags of espresso beans while we were there.

After enjoying my experience, I figured I would come back again on this trip. I ended up visiting it twice. While the service was rather good (though how fast or slow depended on the time of day, how many customers, and how many people are working) and the food itself was very tasty. On my first recent visit, I simply ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, which was filling and tasty with heavy cheese which was nice and soft and rather melted. On my second visit, I came with my wife, and she ordered a grilled cheese sandwich (a bit more melted than mine by special request), and I ordered a Hot Dog Danish, which was a July special consisting of a flaky, buttery croissant dough filled with a 100% beef frank, ketchup, Dijon mustard, crispy onions, and fresh micro basil. While the croissant and condiments were nice and warm, the hot dog could have been warmer. It was still tasty. I thought about getting a Parisian hot chocolate, but I figured I had enough of a treat just in the meal itself. The service was good though rather slow on my first visit due to only one person working (as the other person was on break). It was much faster when I came back another day and two people were working. Parfait Paris started in 2014 with the first location opening in the Gaslamp quarter. Parfait Paris brings its French savoir-faire throughout its various locations, inviting people to taste the French Art de Vivre and celebrate its Gourmet Parisian heritage. They are now known for their desserts, macarons, crepes, and pastries. They also serve drinks. This Parfait Paris location is at the Coronado Ferry Landing. There are eight locations at this time of Parfait Paris plus an online commerce site. You can visit their website at https://parfaitparis.com/locations/coronado to order pickup or delivery, catering, an events calendar, and jobs. This location is open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 10 PM, Friday from 8 AM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 7:30 AM to 9 PM. I also joined a loyalty program where I enter my phone number upon each visit at checkout. I believe I have a promo I can use on my next visit. I certainly plan to come back again when I am visiting Coronado in the future!

A big thank you to Randall for his exceptional service--he went above and beyond, taking the time to look up the nutrition information and ensure I was comfortable with my selections.

The standout was the friendly service and willing to make a custom ceremonial matcha with coconut water and a dreamy matcha cold foam. It was incredibly refreshing, perfectly balanced, and without question my drink of the day. Of course, I couldn't leave without trying the pastries. The gluten-free chocolate brownie was rich, moist, and wonderfully decadent. The pistachio loaf was flavorful and tender, and the carrot cupcake was easily the surprise favorite--absolutely delicious and worth every bite. It was the perfect little "cheat day" treat to share. Whether you're stopping in for coffee, matcha, or one of their incredible pastries, Malibu Farms Café is a hidden gem with great beach energy and quality that keeps you coming back.

The Mudbar popped up on my map and I was surprised to see that it was a little outdoor stall/bar. When we approached the people were super nice and let us take our time deciding and offering helpful recommendations. We ended up going with the Fan Fave - IV Therapy, a Vietnamese Iced Coffee with cinnamon and vanilla cold foam. This coffee was definitely one of the best I've had lately! It had nice deep coffee flavor, the foam was sweet and a great consistency, and it was a really good deal for a nice big cup! I was super satisfied with my drink and would totally be a regular if I lived nearby!

I could not believe how wonderfully balanced and hydrating it was. I sat and chat with my friend until last call. The music playing was 90s-early 2000s.
