Our Story
Inspired by her son, Brody, who was born with Down Syndrome, founder of the original Brody's Be Cafe Jenny Cole dreamed bridging the employment gap in every community was a necessity.
​
In October of 2019, her dream became a reality.
​
Today, you'll find six Be Cafes throughout West Michigan, each run by individuals with intellectual disabilities. It's more than a coffee shop...
it's coffee with a purpose.
