My trip to Trident nearly threatened the future of this blog:
I am convinced that even if I commuted there daily, it would never get old. While a café in a bookstore may not
seem novel, Trident boasts a full menu and much more seating than is initially
apparent (outdoor, indoor, coffeebar, communal tables, you name it). My $2.68 18 oz. iced coffee was
refreshingly strong and the employees were cheerful but not in a “happy-go-lucky”
way. Offering unlimited free Wifi
and openly welcoming groups and book clubs to meet in their space, Trident is a
genuinely friendly venue. Plus, the
low music and surrounding chatter cancelled each other out to produce a workable
white noise. I love spending time
in bookstores and, though this space is far less intimate, the idea of Trident
reminded me of a great bookstore/restaurant in Jerusalem, Tmol Shilshom. I
returned a few days later for a delicious (and very reasonably priced) Sunday
brunch with Biz, and I am very eager to go back next time I’m on Newbury. Though there is still much to explore,
Trident is easily my top pick thus far.
