Grab a book and have a meal early in the morning. With a tasty breakfast menu, which offers diners to add salmon to their morning omelet, the Trident bookstore and cafe is a fine place to dine. With a cozy setting and a well-lit dining area, the Trident offers visitors to Boston’s Newbury Street area a comfortable place to relax, get some coffee or juice, and scarf down some nice French toast or have a healthy turkey burger for lunch. A definite plus to their breakfast menu is the availability of real maple syrup, a rarity in most restaurants these days.

Be prepared for a large meal though. The omelet especially has a way of filling you up so that a weekend meal may be better unless you want to fall asleep at work. As for items that could keep you awake, the coffee mug is a bit small but, apparently, you get free refills with meals over $4.95. (I was not aware of this at the time.)

Like all the spots on Newbury Street, this can get pricey (though there are some good deals) but if you’re in the mood for a comfortable breakfast and don’t mind spending a little bit of cash for a pleasant environment and a cool place to read the morning paper, check Trident out.

I can’t speak to their dinner menu but, glancing at it online, it looks pretty good as well.
