Love the serenity of this location. They have a huge parking lot and plenty of street parking too. I came here on a weekday and the parking lot was pretty much empty. I love that you get to see the water from the shop. I ordered the midnight vietnamese and it was heaven! I don't like MCT oil and was able to replace that with mushroom and it really elevated the experience. Thank you!

I was drawn to Trident for it's symbolism...totally makes sense that it's located by the beach. I'm a health conscious person and was glad to find out Trident Coffee uses health-enhancing ingredients to foster wellness. Thankfully, it wasn't too busy in this naturally lit spacious coffee shop when I arrived. The staff was friendly and patient with me since I was a first-timer. Trident's wide variety of coffee was really unique...especially the combination of coffee and tea. When I saw cognitive mushrooms as one of the functional lattes on the menu, I had to order it along with an acai bowl which suprisingly took a bit to make and noticed it was in a cup. Overall, positive vibes. I left empowered to live my life full steam ahead helping to realize their vision :-) If I'm in IB again, I'll go back for another nautical journey but the next time by trying their popular nitro cold brew. I definitely recommend this veteran-owned coffee shop to the Yelp Community.

A friend introduced me to this place, and I decided to stop by after a doctor's appointment in the area. The staff here has always been cool. The first time I came here I tried the flight which was amazing, and today I went with a cold brew and a keto friendly empanada. I love places that have keto-friendly options. The vibe here is super chill being next to a gym and a bike spot. I see a lot of riders congregate here. I've never had an issue with parking, and there's a dedicated spot for Trident customers. Thanks Trident for helping me stay in my healthy lane. Cheers all.

I had to try their cold brew flight which included: 1. Son of a son of a sailor (Best, flavor) 2. Trident (normal dark) 3. El Capitan (super dark taste) 4 daily rations (for true sailors) Additional to that I had the following food: 1. Matcha/ strawberry donut (vegan non-protein) Very soft donut with a creamy frosting that covers the top and a very enjoyable morning breakfast or dessert. 2. Breakfast burrito Great mixture of egg and cheese. That's great for anybody. 3. Bacon, egg and cheese empanada Flavorful crust packed with bacon, egg and cheese. That's easily shareable since everyone wood want a bite. To top it all off is in an amazing area close to the beach, walking distance from a small kids playground and a beautiful view. Parking is easily accessible whether it's in front of the store or up the street. And to add definitely a place where kids can eat but do not have many options to get drinks.

Nitro cold brew keeps me caffeinated during long work days.

This place never disappoints. The coffee, cold brew, lattes, and the pastries are all amazing. The service is top tier as well. The staff is always willing to share their opinion on the specialty lattes and make recommendations based on your taste.

Super sweet coffee shop in Imperial Beach. Veteran owned with an amazing staff and incredible coffee. They roast the beans in the back and the freshness shines!! The espresso was the best I've had since I don't know when

Amazing place, they offer many different types of coffee and so far we loved the horchata latte and the salted caramel mocha. Will definitely come back to try the empanadas and breakfast burritos, the protein donuts sound amazing too. The service Randall provided was so nice and pleasant, he told us about their products and how their donuts are baked and not fried, and also the vegan options and protein contents of their food. The ambiance is really chill, next to a bike trail, definitely will be coming back soon.

Wonderful location! Amazing cold brews! Friendly staff! Gluten free bakery, and my favorite coffee with additions like tumeric and ashwaganda !Enjoy the offerings there or take it with you. What's not to

Trident deserves another 5 stars from me, they have improved since my last visit! They have a variety of cold brew selections, cold brew specialty drinks, espresso drinks, and even functional drinks. I got the mexican mocha with oat milk and it was delicious! The chocolate flavor was so delectable and worked well with the cold brew. They have upped their pastry selection! I got a lemon poppy protein donut (which they told us has 22-26g of protein!) and a keto bacon and egg empanada. The empanada had flavorful seasoning. Usually keto pastries aren't my favorite since there's no carbs but theirs was pretty good! The unique pastry selection and delicious cold brew sets them apart from other places. The interior is a bit small but nicely decorated and with lots of tables and seats. The place overlooks the otay river/bay area so has some nice nature views!

Iced peppermint mocha and chocolate peppermint doughnut
Katherine K.

My friend recommended this place and right off rip I can tell this will be a regular stop for me. The shop itself is so serene and has plenty of seating. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Adrien was so helpful in assisting us with our order. We got the Mexican mocha latte, peppermint mocha latte, and a peppermint chocolate doughnut. The coffee was incredible but if I could go back and do it again I would skip the doughnut or try something else.

Old-fashioned Cold Foam Latte

Been meaning to come pay a visit for the longest time and I am glad i finally did! Great service from their workers and welcomed in with a very warm heart! Me and my girlfriend tried the Old Fashioned specialty cold brew and it was delicious. Definitely one of the best cold brews I have tried out there! Come and give em a try!

This place is tucked away in IB. I come here every once in a while & it's a great place to get your cold brew fix. I love that they have different cold brews on tap. My favorites are their specialty cold brews. The protein donuts are also pretty good, they're not too sweet & dont have that weird protein taste. Don't forget to sign up for their rewards program so you can get free drinks! Overall, highly recommend this place!

This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Amazing food! Very cute place and nice ambiance. My kids loved it. The food came out super fast!read more

We tried coming here a few months ago but they were closing up. Finally had a chance to re-try this…read morelittle gem. Based off old Yelp pics, it looks like the business revamped their menu + interior. The aesthetics of this little cafe is so cute + social media worthy! From the interior, to the food/drink presentation, & everything in between. They have a small shared parking lot with other businesses. We got lucky as some patrons were leaving. When we walked in we were immediately seated. There is limited tables so I can see it getting busy. When we went, it was a full house. But one thing I must say - they are QUICK without us feeling rushed! We ordered a horchata, soda, birria fries, & the el mamado omelette. The food came out in what felt like less than 5mins!! I ordered the omelette with refried beans, rosemary potatoes, & tortillas. My omelette was perfect! Could've been a little hotter, but no complaints. I loved the taste & texture, everything paired well. My husband ordered the birria fries. The birria was so tender & the flavors were there! We asked for additional hot sauce - their salsas were not spicy enough for us. But as you read my other reviews, we have a MAJOR tolerance for spice. So what's not spicy for us can be spicy for others. Our total was $51 which was deff reasonable for everything we got. Definitely a cute hidden gem to try if you're in the area! Glad I was finally able to check this spot off my list.
