How it Began.
Inspired by her son, Brody, who was born with Down Syndrome, Jenny Cole dreamed of bridging the employment gap in every community. In October 2019, her dream became a reality with the opening of Brody's Be Café in Ada.
At Be Café, we believe every person deserves the dignity, purpose, and joy that comes from meaningful employment. That's why we've built thriving coffee shops where adults with intellectual disabilities, our incredible BEristas, don't just have a job. They have the beginnings of a career path.
