Ick! My horchata cold brew and my husband's hot coffee were immediately trashed after our 2 sip-attempts. What a waste of $$. Cold brew should not be bitter, nor watered-down which it was both. The "horchata" flavoring was completely lacking - I saw cinnamon powder but zero flavor. Not sure how locals enjoy or rate it "best of 2022" - but I beg to differ. With all the wonderful coffee shops we have in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV I'm sure we're spoiled by the quality. True disappointment. read more

Wow! Ok, so when it comes to coffee shops there are no shortage of places to go especially in this town (I mean San Diego). And to be fair, there are a lot of really great places to go! But if you want really great coffee, great atmosphere and some really cool t-shirts, you must give this place a try! They literally have the best nitro cold brew I've ever had! And the selection of nitro cold brews they had on tap was amazing! I got their house special which was delicious! Don't have plans on making a trip to San Diego? Don't worry! You can order directly from them! But if you ever find yourself in San Diego, and you really like coffee, this place is worth the drive into Coronado Island! I even bought a t-shirt! Well done Trident! Cheers. read more

This is The best coffee I've ever had. I've been drinking coffee for years and can be a little bit of coffee snob sometimes. The moment I tasted their "Daily Rations" on my tongue, I could easily say that is The Finest cold brew I've had. It's very aromatic and exudes a strong bourbon smell, also very smooth and gentle on your tongue with a little creamy texture. The barista there also let me try other flavors, and each all tasted so good in its own way. I will definitely come back for their cold brew again read more

You cannot get any better than amazing coffee that is a healthy alternative to the sugar laden stuff pumped out by the national giant! Keto friendly (for those into that), cold brew, or hot, black, or with alternative add ins (MCT oils etc). You can get a healthy kick without the sugar crash to keep you going all day. I'm omnivorous, I'll eat anything not nailed down; and have eaten from the street vendors in every country I've visited (gotta keep the immune system STRONG by attacking it...) The keto friendly and mostly vegan bakery items were enticing and looked amazing I didn't try any but watched a few folks buy to try and commented to the staff they were amazing... You cannot go wrong supporting Trident Coffee, amazing coffee, Local, Veteran owned, community involved. Hope you give em a try If you love coffee, hot or cold (Nitro draught on site) you might just find a new favorite. Sláinte! 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.

I came here on a Sunday morning and with about 5 people in front of me I expected it to take a little bit wait, but not 30 minutes. I commiserated with my fellow line mates, gawking at how the line had gotten out the door, without moving! "Are we at Disneyland in line for a broken ride?" We watched as the sole barista on the bar chatted away with a friend about a business idea or clothing brand or something animatedly for ages! Cool, catch up with your friends, but also...can you please make us coffee? Then, the only cashier decided to leave his post to refill napkins, and restock ice. When I finally made it to the register the employee said "we are pretty backed up it'll be about a 25 minute wait on food or espresso drinks". You're kidding. I was forced to order a hot coffee (which I never drink - not bad actually) to save time and get back to my business. As I was leaving the customer who had chatted with the barista for 20 minutes and wasted everyone's time got BACK IN LINE! If there are events in the area you need to STAFF ACCORDINGLY. Get your act together, this is an embarrassment to the Bird Rock name.

Edit: Unfortunately there was a mixup and my cardamom bun was gone and was given a saffron chocolate bun instead. Still good but was really waiting for the cardamom bun my friends raved about! ;) They were quite apologetic about it so I'll keep my rating since the coffee still hit the spot, the saffron bun was nice, and I like supporting a local community shop. Hopefully they find a system that works to keep up with the business when it comes to the cardamom buns though!

The drinks here are some of my favorite. They recently added a new Matcha drink with guava foam,…read moreand it's one of the best matcha flavors I've had. My girlfriend loves it as well, she asks me to get it whenever I swing by the shop. The service is always immaculate. Seems like everytime I go here the weather is perfect, take that as a sign. Love the vibes, crew, and drinks!

I asked the cashier for some recommendations and loved what I ended up trying. I'm already thinking about coming back to try a matcha. I got the iced pistachio cream latte and oh my gosssh the cold foam!? made just right! so creamy, super flavorful, and you can really taste the pistachio. I love that the cold foam is made in house. The only thing is I'm not sure if that's their normal iced coffee size (I forgot to ask bc I got distracted after trying the cold foam/ so good) but for $7 I'd def want a bigger cup next time. The espresso itself was a solid 10/10 ! The vibe here is super cute, the owner was super sweet and I love the merch, the name of the shop and even the drink names. Street parking I went around 1ish and found a spot right away, but it could be a hit or miss. This spot is worth checking out for sure!

Handmade pasta and sauces need to feel homey and fresh to really call them italian, and GBF doesn't disappoint in that regard. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Their specialties menu is great, but the star of any good italian place has to be their pasta. I love having the option to create my own by offering multiple options of ingredients. So don't be shy and order that pasta bowl you've been thinking about all week!

When the hostess was asked she said the table must be set up and gave serious attitude. That being said, the set of the place is interesting with tables in cars and even outdoors. The food makes up for it all!
