Trident Booksellers & Cafe

Trident Booksellers & Cafe was opened in Boston in the fall of 1984 at 338 Newbury Street by Bernie and Gail Flynn. They moved to the Boston area in 1983 from Vermont where Bernie owned a bookstore. The bookstore-cafe idea took shape because at that time in Boston there were very few places to sit down with a fine cup of coffee and linger over a conversation or a book. Now over 36 years later, “The Trident” as they all call it is still alive and fully established.
