Trident Coffee Imperial Beach - reviews,open hours,photo spots, things to do | WanderBoat AI Trip Planner

I went to Trident Coffee in Imperial Beach for my first time the other day. It was an awesome experience! My friend and I ordered a blackberry cobbler cold brew, Midnight Vietnamese, an espresso shot, two protein donuts, and a bacon & egg empanada. First off, the space is, well, quite spacious. With a high ceiling, plenty of seating, nice seats, indoor plants, and cool lighting fixtures, the place has a great vibe. The cafe also gets a good amount of natural lighting which livens it up. The coffee drinks were delicious. The Midnight Vietnamese was an activated charcoal latte, and I swapped whole milk for coconut milk—it was unique and with the coconut milk it reminded me of the traditional coconut affogatos they serve in Vietnam. The blackberry cobbler cold brew was really nice as well. I should mention that this shop allows you to do a ton of interesting add-ins to your drinks, like mushrooms, ashwagandha, maca root, and l-theanine — pretty unique. Finally, the food was pretty good overall as well. The donuts were very tasty, especially the lemon poppy. I didn’t expect them to have such great texture after they told us they were high-protein donuts. The texture was absolutely heavenly—such a tender dough. The empanada was decent—not the greatest, but it had a good amount of filling and was quite large. I highly recommend checking Trident coffee out. It’s an awesome coffee shop with good people, and it’s also right beside some really nice walking trails along the end of the bay.

This place is such a “best kept secret” type of place I’m almost torn between telling everyone I know about it and keeping it to myself (but I still tell everyone about it ;) ) Ricardo, Armae, and Mackenzie are always so welcoming they know me by name and also my order and are always ontop of things I love the efficiency and awesome energy everyone there has. This place is the perfect example of what a great coffee shop should be. I’m a huge fan of the El Capitan and the Link in the Chain when I need a little extra boost I try to come every day and on days I know I won’t be able to I just get a couple cans to take with me to work. This place is truly a hidden treasure in IB

One of my favorite things to do is ride to this coffee shop with my friends. Get some Coronado, get some San Diego Bay, get some Silver Strand, Get some IB, Get some Trident. It is the most refreshing cold brew after a San Diego Bike Ride. This is the San Diego lifestyle, fill your weekends with this. Feel the wind, sun, sea, and best cold brew eeevvvvveeeerrrr. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a slice of life.

Had the unique experience of walking in as they were already closed. Nonetheless, the folks were super nice and still managed to take my order for cold brewed ones. I had the 'Ships in the night' and 'calm under pressure,' and being someone that is not a fan of cold brew (prefer good ol' hot coffee) I have to say I was extremely impressed. Both tasted delicious. Additionally, the store itself is pretty cool.

A must visit in San Diego! Trident coffee specializes in nitro brew and ketogenic diet. Their brand MCT oil, house made plant milks and super foods you can even add to your coffee for example a mushroom blend. Location is absolutely perfect for friends and family or a must visit while on the bike path around the bay. Last but not least customer service is kind and attentive. Trident Coffee thank you!!!

Daily Rations - Bourbon flavored nitro cold brew is a must try. Amazing coffee, born and raised right here in Imperial Beach. They specialize in Nitro Old Brews and have great options that have subtle flavors. Ricardo at the front is super helpful and will give you tastings and also a lot of good info about all their coffees.
