Prodigy Coffeehouse

Nice coffee shop with a big parking lot. Good drink and food options. I really liked my iced latte. They have nice seating with big tables. Service was friendly as well. I just wish the air conditioning was better. Also the waffle was overpriced and just ok.

Whoever invented mass-produced coffee is a prodigy.It was our last full day of exploring and traveling around Colorado and we needed caffeine to get us started. Once we dropped Sammy off at work, we looked up some places she told us and settled on Prodigy. They didn't open until 6:30am so we got there early and waited a few minutes in the parking lot.Once they opened their doors, we booked it in and were somehow beat by another person in placing an order. Emily got something that stuck her fancy and I snagged an americano. We didn't wait around to sip our drink as we were going to hike at the Red Rocks and wanted to beat the summer heat.The interior was nice and colorful. To my best guess, this building used to be a lube shop and it was converted into a business building at some point. Emily and I entered what seemed to be that door that rolls up when you drive in for an oil change. While the vibe in the coffeehouse was nice and vibrant, the two ladies working didn't really acknowledge us or engage us in conversation. While I don't ever expect to have a full blown conversation with someone working a register/making coffee, some level of engagement or acknowledgement would be nice.As for the coffee, we sipped it on the way to Red Rocks and wow... this americano was bitter. It was almost too bitter for my taste but I savored it all the same. I needed as much of a punch of bitter as I could get for the long day ahead. Emily said she enjoyed her drink as well.While I was ever-so-slightly annoyed that the customer service here was weak, the strongness of the americano left me with a smile on my face.

Coffee: 6/10Pastries: 8/10Lighting: 10/10Ambience: 8/10Service: 3/10Staff: 2/10Was out east and decided to work from prodigy for a bit. Shop seemed descent but staff was rude, unhelpful and disrespectful. It's rare I feel the need to write a negative review about coffee staff--coffee shops are notorious for having snotty staff so it comes with the territory--but was not stoked on the vibe or attitude of the team. Hoping it was just a one off because the shop is nice

Another coffee shop with cool vibes was discovered by me today. I wanted to avoid the big name coffee shop; I was more into discovering a new place. And this place came up on my search. From the current location at the time I was in, this shop was only several miles away. Service was okay-ish (I was greeted by a young lady upfront upon walking up. Her demeanor wasn't anything special but it wasn't bad either.) I asked for a cortado. She asked if there was anything else I wanted on top of that. I said no. I paid for what I ordered. My drink was made quickly. Like I said the service was something you'd expect to receive at any given time at an ordinary or average coffee. What I liked about this place was the spaciousness of it. Its building spreads out from the north to the south. It's modern but it's not modern overkill. Simply and clean feels; I liked that. And in the middle of the building, there is a lab. I saw 6-7 people in that little room. It's all glass so I could see them. Employee meeting or some coffee class for the public? Whatever they were doing, I remained respectful by not trying to give an unnecessary glare (lol)!!They do have some light bites on the menu. If nothing sounds good then you can get a pastry from the showcase (selection is not large though.) This is not a place where I can casually go from my Hamden South neighborhood but it's nice to know that such a place exists. Like today I was in the neighborhood running errands, when I am in the area again, i I'll make sure to stop by. ***P.S: My cortado was good. It was strong where I wanted to have a little more milk in it.

The cashier who took our order was rude and the coffee was expensive- $16 and some change for two iced lattes. Not worth going back.

This spot is great coffee is delicious..their story is wonderful..teaching young ones about their work ethics..food is good the waffle is great just a sweet hand held... atmosphere is comfortable. There is a room that if you have a meeting, you can schedule ahead of time. I believe that room is free..holds about 10 I think.. They also have outdoor seating and an absolutely beautiful view of the mountains, I like this little spot..i believe it's an old gas station! It's a little off the beaten path, but if you're coming off the highway or going onto the highway to I 70 and it's right there off 40th and Colorado Blvd..they also have a drive-through. It's a quirky little thing that they started when Covid was happening, but you can do drive-through..

A cute coffee shop that has an authentic third wave vibe. We came in and got a cappuccino and a cinnamon brown sugar latte. The cappuccino was maybe a smidge off in extraction leading it to be a little too bitter. The latte was very sweet but overall pretty good. The baristas were nice and it seemed like a cool place to get some work done. It was a lot busier than I would have thought but there were still a bunch of tables open.

So happy that Yelp has this place on their coffee list. Coffee beans were so fresh and my brown sugar latte was the best!!! Not to mention the pastry that topped everything off in this cute positive energy cafe

Prodigy was one of the first coffee shops I visited. I mainly began coming based on their commitment to mentorship and supporting emerging adults. In regard to their drink and food options they have a variety of options. I typically order a hot dirty chi with oat and vanilla--which I love. For food options I typically get a croissant. I just wish I could get it warmed up. Parking is alright they have a couple spots and street parking. But above all it's a great place with great people!

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!
