Welcome to Coffee with a Purpose

The Be Cafe is a donor-funded nonprofit providing meaningful employment to people with intellectual disabilities.

Our Story

Inspired by her son, Brody, who was born with Down Syndrome, the founder of the original Brody's Be Cafe 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.
