Prodigy Coffeehouse Coming to Globeville

The word "Prodigy" is defined as "a person, especially a young one, with exceptional qualities and abilities." The founder and CEO of Prodigy Coffeehouse, Steph Frances, is the remarkable person who recognizes the possibilities in each individual - their talents, passions and gifts. Young adults disconnected from school or traditional careers are invited to a year-long apprenticeship where they will learn business, communication and networking skills. Along the way, they gain self knowledge, confidence, direction and motivation - all through the craft of coffee.

The first Prodigy Coffeehouse was established in 2016 at 3801 East 40th Avenue in Elyria-Swansea. Its graduates have transferred what they've learned to success in other fields. And in life. Of the 185 young adults who have completed the program so far, 86% increased their earning power, received raises and promotions. 

Prodigy in Globeville is another example of metamorphosis. A former service station at the corner of 45th and Broadway will transition from restoring cars and trucks to improving the futures of young people. The coffeehouse will be a most welcome addition to Globeville, a respite from busyness, and a place for connection and conversation. 

Prodigy hopes to be open by August 2022, serving craft-brewed coffee from 6:00 am to 4:00 pm everyday. For more about the program see
