Went here with a friend a while back, and we had some really great coffee here! The barista who served us was very nice and knowledgeable. She also was so polite. I love coffee, and getting some cold brew from here is a must when you need a pick me up! Highly recommend! Dan & Lexi read more

It smells so good in here!!! Prodigy is awesome! I love that they are in a kick ass location: close to home and the RTD station and in an underserved community with a goal to lift its residents. This coffee shop serves up a great espresso. If you come in early enough you might be lucky to grab a burrito too (because they sell like hotcakes). The baristas are always friendly and helpful. read more

Prodigy Coffeehouse - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is amazing. Apprenticeships and training for young people in the NE Denver area to get a start in the professional workforce, wide open space with tons of natural light and lots of seating, AND a parking lot. Like others have said, it's a refurbished body shop, which means there are huge garage door entrances which circulates fresh air and you don't leave smelling like coffee shop. The employees were all friendly and helpful, and I got a chicken panini and a lemon soda water for lunch. There were outlets by the booths and I think by the bar. Outdoor seating as well. I will definitely continue to support this business! read more

Prodigy Coffeehouse - Panini and iced lemonberry green tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

exploits the young workers there with empty promises! "Internship" more like a loop-hole to never have to give pay increases. States they will help with job search and that never happens. Wish they would get out of my neighborhood!!! WILL NOT SUPPORTT!!!!!! read more

I made a yelp account to complain about this place and I'm never that guy but this place is terrible. Ordered a vanilla latte and drip. Waited over 10 minutes at drive thru with one car ahead for them to get one iced drink. I get my coffees and the person working legit has no idea what I ordered. My latte has no vanilla, only filled 80% and coffee grounds on top of the foam and is legitimately cold. Go back in because the latte was so trash I couldn't even drink it. Dude in charge gives me shit for saying something and gives me another cold hot latte after I had just said it wasn't hot enough. Been a barista for over 20 years and this is by far the worst coffee experience I've had in some time. Trash lattes and coffees and three people with no other business still couldn't get it right. Avoid at all costs. If a guests wants a hot latte maybe don't argue with him about it and make it hotter! Do your job! read more

This was a fun find!! And all for a good cause. They teach young adults who are removed from school or work life all about their business through an apprenticeship. We had to stop by to check it out. Housed in what looks like a former quick change oil change building, we wandered in to Prodigy. It had a nice open air feel and plenty of people were sitting inside and out using the space to study/work/relax. It had a very welcoming feel. We decided on the special...a couple of caramel mocha drinks and looked around for a few minutes. The prices were good. The atmosphere comfortable. The staff friendly. The coffee drinks tasted pretty yummy. They have a "bike library"! And while I didn't verify exactly what that meant, I think you can borrow a bike to ride around town here. And that my friends is quite awesome to me!! I'll be back because I noticed their tea menu toward the end of our visit and I'll have to give some of those a whirl. Keep doing great things! read more

Working from home, I'm always on the lookout for great cafes. So glad that I found Prodigy. The coffee was good, the staff were super friendly and the place is really inviting. I love the fact that you can reserve the conference room for free and I love the mission of the place. So good to know that you're supporting a great cause and helping people grow in their life and personal skills. The wifi is decent and there is enough space, tables and outlets to do what you need to do. We need more places like Prodigy! read more

I was drawn to this place by its graffiti art exterior. The inside is just as inviting with that funky garage look and a simple menu. It doesn't necessarily stand out for the drinks- there's nothing special about their menu. But the barista, her sweet demeanor brings it all together. read more

Great coffee, great food, excellent mission. This coffee shop supports the local youth, and that's something I can get behind. My baristas were super friendly, and got me my breakfast burrito and brewed coffee with speed & a smile. The coffee was well-brewed, and the burrito came with some green chile salsa, and was grilled perfectly. Some of their specialty coffee drinks looked amazing (ie: Lavanilla - a lavender and vanilla latte), so I'll definitely be back to try those too! Keep it up, Prodigy! read more

Stumbled onto this little gem early on a Labor Day morning. So quiet, and with a great vibe, fantastic espresso and inventive pastries (try the bagel pastry...yum). Talented staff and the Barista could throw-down with skill! Highly recommended! read more

Love love love Prodigy! A coffee shop with parking?! Yep, it's a go to meeting spot. Their coffee ain't bad either. I've been a big fan of their seasonal/speciality lattes, which are usually pretty amazing. They also have a small meeting room around back that's available for meetings. Only downside: It does get a bit warm in the summer months, even with the garage doors open. Just know, you're working in/visiting a former auto repair shop! read more

Just stopped in while I waited to pick up friends arriving via A train at the nearby 40th and Colorado station. Nice space! Yummy burrito and a strong cuppa joe. Highly recommend! read more

Not often you would get a drive-thru coffee places besides Starbucks. I really love the fact that this place have a drive-thru. Giving how busy they were the morning that we visit this place, the service was great and on point. Vanilla Latte w/ Oat milk: you can tell that this place doesn't use cheap beans. The Vanilla flavoring blends perfectly w/ the coffee. read more

Excellent coffee & great COVID precautions = 10/10!

Hit up Prodigy thanks to the FIKA passport program and I'm so glad I did. It's in a cute building on a big industrial corner that's painted with bright colors, has a big patio and also a very large interior that opens up to the outside with garage style doors. The person behind the counter wasn't the friendliest of people but she wasn't rude either. I think she was just indifferent and didn't want to be there. My husband got a nitro cold brew which was really strong and quite good by itself and with a splash of cream in it. I ordered the nitro iced tea which was good as well. For tea, it was smooth and wasn't bitter at all. In fact, it was somewhat sweet on its own but I added the honey water/syrup to it and guzzled it down on the patio. read more

Great spot to regroup following Denver International landing before heading into downtown. Delicious hand held waffle and white chocolate mocha enjoyed while sitting outside. Recharged while relaxing! read more

Prodigy Coffeehouse - White chocolate mocha and hand held waffle. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First impressions are BIG with me.... and I was underwhelmed with the service and product here. Such a shame because it's right down the street from my house and I've been curious about the place since they opened! I stepped into the garage door which was wide open making the space larger and gave it a very breathable feel that was quite nice! The ambiance was cool and relaxing, hence the star rating! The place IS CUTE, I'll give it that... but that's it! The gentleman behind the counter took the two orders from a couple guys in front of me and then turned his back to me. Didn't say I'll be right with you, nothing... just left me standing there. I had to wait for another gentleman to acknowledge me to place my order wich he took quickly and was very polite so that was nice. But oh boy when I got my iced chai I knew it was gonna be bad. The color right off the bat was all wrong... almost white!!!! The drink was 90% ice, 9% milk and maybe 1% chai! For 5$ I was sorely disappointed in the quality of the drink and the size! I can get way better at Starbucks and get more drink for my buck! The taste of the chai itself is off. Too much cardamom and not enough ginger.... idk but it was really lack luster!!! I will not be back just to sit in a cute garage! Sorry! read more

Sought this place out on our way to the airport and oh my gosh what a gem! Coffee was delicious! They have homemade syrups. My mom and sister had the iced vanilla latte, which I tried and was delicious. I had the iced honey lavender latte which was so yummy! We had pastries but a standout food item was a ham, cheese & egg torta. WOAH! It was delicious. Had a few bites of my sisters. They gave you a choice of green or red salsa. She got the green and it was so bomb! Highly recommend. The staff were lovely and it was open nice and early. read more

Prodigy was recommended by our AirBnb host and it was a great recommendation. We loved their mission (it was explained to us by a barista afer she took our order), the service was excellent (super friendly staff), the coffee was great (I got a lavender one which was very tasty. I got a rose one a return trip. While good, it was not as good as the lavender one), and we LOVED that there was a very quick service drive-thru. With young kids, this was key. In early July and around 9am, this place was happening inside. Seems like a great place to do work and/or hang out. We came here twice and tried to (it was too out of the way the third time) at least one more time before we left for home. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely love Prodigy's heart for kids in the community. So, how does a non-coffee drinker show their support for a coffee shop with a mission? Anyway I can! The atmosphere is really great - a converted garage whose doors are opened more often than not. And they have great, private areas to hold small meetings. Their WiFi is good and I've never had trouble finding a quiet spot to work. The staff is friendly and they have great treats (they're not just coffee). That said, everyone I've met at Prodigy concurs their coffee is really good, too. B O T T O M L I N E : If you love coffee, this place is a no-brainer. Why spend your $ at Starbucks when your $ can actually make a difference at Prodigy? read more

Worst latte I've ever had. Espresso was over extracted and tasted burnt and gross. The ambiance wasn't great and the staff was unfriendly. It was also difficult to focus with the music blasting. Would not recommend this place. read more

It's a quaint cafe and it's also a very convenient dessert place. Decent selection of pastries with good prices but a bit sweeter to the palate than usual. Coffee drinks are fine but sweeter than most that we are used to. read more

Everything that a remote (aka, work from home) person could want in a coffee shop: 1) Free wifi, with a strong signal 2) Centrally located at 40th and Colorado, near I-70, and on the cusp of Park Hill, Congress Park and RiNo/Five Points 3) Open, welcoming vibes -- from the sunshine pouring into the "warehouse" to the copious amounts of seating, and the baristas smile 4) Yelp Check-In offer for a free coffee This week was my first visit to Prodigy and it won't be the last. The original reason for going inside was a late afternoon meeting, which then turned into a few extra hours of hanging out, GSD'ing. Rarely do I enjoy coffee shop hangouts, but Prodigy is a nice change of pace. This might be my new favorite "office away from home". read more

I had the best latte at Prodigy Coffee in Denver. Beautiful decor and a nice ambience makes for a great place to enjoy an awesome cup of coffee. My latte was deliciously made by a super friendly barista who made the art of making coffee astonishing. I will be sure to stop here again next time I am in town. read more

the coffee was delicious and the food was amazing. it's a cool little spot, but the people seem to hate working there. not a single one of the 5 people behind the counter were any nice at all. read more

Love the location and feel of this place, but prices are sooo high. I got a latte this weekend and it was $8.40 for a small. Really wish it was more affordable as it is fairly average but as others have said love the ambiance and the crew is always nice!! read more

I really like the concept of this place and it is nice to know I am supporting a good cause and the local community. I thought the coffee shop had a nice feel to it. I like the open garage doors and the fresh air but at one point in the afternoon it was getting a bit too toasty to focus on work. I did sit on the patio in the early morning where the shade kept it cool and I had great views of the mountains. My only issue was I could just not get comfortable for too long - I'm not sure if it was the chairs or tables or what. That's a me thing I suppose. The WiFi was fast but I think I would rather come here to hang out and socialize than to work. The lavender nitro coffee was really good. My wife loves it so I had to try it. I just wish the staff would be a little more inviting and energetic. I was met with a very matter-of-fact stoic disposition. read more

Really unique spot that I would recommend. We brought our corgi Robi here and enjoyed coffee in the outdoor seating area. It is located in a kind of random area but it's so cute! read more

What a great coffee spot! It was bright and airy inside, with lots of areas to work individually or get together with a small group (they even had a side room that would make an excellent meeting space). The staff were all amazing, and the coffee was fantastic. I really liked the music they were playing today, too. read more

Coffee was delicious and I totally love the concept to support neighborhood youth with job skills. They tell the employee's stories on the walls and the space is open and trendy with a separate meeting room, open concept with garage doors, and an outside patio. And plenty of parking. I am so grateful to live nearby this community-supporting shop and this will be my new go-to shop in the neighborhood! read more

Coffee is great. Breakfast burritos and SOO good. Horchata is delicious. The employees are fantastic. Great service. Ambiance is chill and understated. read more

Cool hang. Not crazy about the rap music which constitutes 90% of music. This coffee shop serves a great cause, helping kids get back on track. Espresso is really good as are vanilla lattes. Can be a bit in consistent though as there is a lot of turnover understandably so. Burritos are tasty. Building used to be a auto repair garage so cool vibe. read more

The service at this coffeeshop was truly amazing! A worker came and took my order at my car window while waiting in the drive thru lane. They were very kind, polite, and quick! Loved the coffee too - I got an Americano! read more

Prodigy Coffeehouse - View from outside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Prodigy has a great mission. It's also on the way to my husband's workplace. That makes it a good spot to get caffeinated. There's plenty of parking, and getting back on the road is easy. The space is big, and they have an area you can reserve for meetings, maybe a book club. Staff are eager to please and care about giving good customer service. Since we usually get an espresso drink to stay, they follow up and ask us about the drink. They seem to really want feedback so they can learn and improve. I keep them in mind as a good place for a casual meetup. read more

One of my new favorite coffee shops in Denver!! I didn't really expect to come over here to Colorado & I-70 and find such a cool spot... but here it is. Very "open-air" feel to the space. There were plenty of garage doors and bright colors letting the sun and warmth inside - I honestly felt like we were next to the beach. My wife and I ordered Nitro Cold Brew coffees that were smooth, strong, and refreshing. Baristas were all extremely nice and came around filling up waters as we sat for over an hour and talked. When the weather is nice, this is the place to be. And when it's nasty out, the coffee and friendliness of everyone will be enough to keep you warm. Can't wait to come back and try the food. read more

Meh... I didn't like the cappuccino. The espresso wasn't very strong and it just tasted like milk. I would only recommend if you want a very sweet drink. read more

Great coffee, excellent cappuccino. Would highly recommend, good place to sit down and read a book or do some work.

Oat cortado was perfect. The waffle was a good complement too. Warm, freshly made, not too sweet. Staff very cool. The mission of the place rocks too. El pueblo unido. read more
