    Mostly specialize in cold brews, nitros and functional cold brews. They also offer a small menu of hot espresso based drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location is airy, bright and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service is super friendly and inviting. Cool merch and logo.

    Horchata Latte
    Danny W.

    The iced horchata latte was solid, flavorful and not too sweet. The barista was polite and answered all my questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee shop had a cool beach vibe and making this coffee experience fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This coffee shop is cuuuuute

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior of this coffee shop is very cute, trendy and bright.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought my latte was well made and enjoyed the roast on the beans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great spot to get a coffee and to take a walk on the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The parking over here can be a nightmare and this coffee shop doesn't have any designated parking so I don't think I would go out of my way to go there unless I was already at the beach

    Salted Caramel Mocha and Bourbon Caramel
    Michele T.

    In search of a caffeine pick me up when we were walking by. We were greeted upon entering and the staffperson was friendly and quick to decribe their offerings when he learned it was our first time there. We ordered the Salted Caramel Mocha and Bourbon Caramel. Both were not too sweet and the flavors of the cold brews came through. Hubs and I both enjoyed our drinks.

    Trident Coffee in PB was great--had the stuffed croissant and a hot salted caramel mocha, both really good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super nice spot just steps from the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    If you need a reliable place to post up with a laptop, this is it. The coffee is great. Strong, bold, and better than your average cafe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the food is okay, the vibes and the staff keep me coming back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The team is always friendly and welcoming, which makes for a great work environment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a super chill atmosphere with plenty of space to focus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll definitely be back for my next work session!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]An awesome coffee shop, less than a block from the beach![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is one of my go to spots. The coffee is great, and all of the baristas are even better. They know me by name and my go to order! The pastries section is also amazing. I'm obsessed with the protein donuts. They're incredible! They also have a large gluten free selection! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is beautiful. It has super high ceilings and windows from floor to ceiling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has plenty of outlets and is my favorite place to work remotely from.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only thing I wish was different is that I wish they had mugs instead of just paper cups.

    After grabbing ice cream just up the street I thought I'd stroll over & check this place out. I was blown away by all the cold brew and nitro cold brew options. They had a try least four cold brews on tap! Yes, on tap! This place takes their cold brew seriously. I'm pretty simple when it comes to my cold brew and I'm not super picky either. My husband roasts his own beans & makes a killer cold brew, so I knew I wanted to try some black and nothing extra added. As soon as I saw the Ethiopian Yergacheffe on tap I knew that would be it. After a sample sip, my decision was made. The super kind woman behind the counter was friendly and we even joked a bit while she got my coffee. She made sure to wave & offer a smiling "goodbye" when I headed out. The ambiance is simple, super casual, limited indoor seating and pretty chill. The bathroom was super clean and the pastries looked a lot better than I expected, although I didn't get anything on this trip. I'm glad I ventured over and checked out Trident Coffee. I'll be sure to mosey back over next time I'm in town!

    Coffee was flavorful and delicious. Cheaper than some other coffee shops in the area. Close to the beach which is nice to grab a morning coffee and walk along the board walk. Service was great. Plenty of seating inside.

    I walked to this coffee shop on my vacation and everything I got was really great! However, I sat there for 33 minutes waiting for my breakfast burrito. (ordered at 9:35 and left at 10:11 after i got my food) and my order was not my name (it said Rosaline) Although, there was only one worker someone came in 20/25 minutes after me ordered a burrito and got it before me as I was just sitting there waiting! Would totally love to give more stars if the wait time wasn't as long as I think she forgot about my order ( human mistakes). As the blueberry cobbler and burrito were amazing. I also ordered a protein donut

    Trident coffee is a really dope new coffee shop in PB! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is really cool and i love how clean and aesthetically pleasing the shop is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the matcha and iced pumpkin latte. Of the two, the matcha was delicious. The pumpkin latte was a bit sweet for me and not enough pumpkin flavor. I'd definitely return to try the cold brew and other items! The baristas are also really nice here.

    Jordyn J.

    Totally forgot to even take a pic of my dirty pumpkin chai tea latte, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]this place was super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drink itself was good! I like all the ways you can customize your drink. Excited to come back and see what other tasty drinks they have.

    I came here once a long time ago, but since I'm usually not in Coronado in the mornings, I never…read morereally had a chance to come back. This past Sunday, I decided to head over for a morning walk and finally stopped in again. The shop is pretty small with limited seating, so it's not really a place to hang out. It seems more like a grab-and-go coffee spot. There aren't many great coffee shop options in this part of Coronado, so I can definitely see why it's popular with both locals and tourists. I arrived just before the morning rush, so I was able to order and get my drink almost immediately. The cashier was super friendly and welcoming, which made for a great first impression. I also really appreciated that they offer a military discount--it's always nice to see businesses supporting the military community. I ordered a medium cold brew with coconut cold foam and asked for very light ice. I was so happy they actually listened! So many coffee shops still fill the cup with ice even when you ask for light ice, and I hate watered-down coffee. This one was perfect. The coconut cold foam was absolutely delicious and added just the right amount of sweetness to complement the bold flavor of the cold brew without overpowering it. I also love that they serve organic coffee. I'll definitely have to remember to stop by more often whenever I'm in Coronado in the mornings. Next time, I need to try one of their donuts too!

The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

This would have been an average San Diego coffee shop experience for me, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVED the cherry bomb! It's a cherry mocha and essentially a perfect drink for me. Back in 2019, Starbucks had a seasonal cherry mocha for Valentine's Day that I was obsessed with. Apparently I was the only one, because they haven't brought it back since. Cherry mochas are hard to come by, and I haven't really encountered another one. This one was delicious! The espresso was bold, the milk perfectly creamy, and the overall taste not too sweet (unlike Starbucks'). Wow!! I can already tell this will be a drink I daydream about. Unfortunately it was $7.50, which will prevent me from indulging very regularly. The rest of the menu is pricey too, with avocado toasts nearly reaching $20. (I may be a millennial, but I can certainly understand the negative stereotype when I see coffee shop prices like these.) Besides pricing, the other downside of this place is the limited seating. There were only 4 small outdoor tables, so unless you're with just one other person and you arrive before 10am, I'd suggest grabbing your coffee to go and taking a walk. My friend and I sat down, since there were open tables when we arrived. She enjoyed her iced honey cinnamon latte. If you love a cherry mocha or are looking for coffee in the design district, definitely come through!
