Trinity Library Peter B’s Espresso

Peter B’s Espresso is a campus coffee shop located on the ground floor of the Raether Library and Information Technology Center at Trinity College, 300 Summit St, Hartford, CT. Founded in 1988 by Peter Brainard Jr. ’88 as a coffee cart, it is now owned by his brother Newton and has grown into a beloved gathering spot serving students, faculty, and visitors with espresso drinks, coffee, pastries, and more. Staffed largely by Trinity College students, the café serves as both a productive workspace and a community hub on campus.
