About Frank & Roze
Frank & Roze is a hospitality-driven coffee and culinary concept rooted in craft, connection, and thoughtful design. Founded in Denver, the brand was created to offer great coffee & food in spaces where people feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and remembered.
Founded by Brenda Godfrey, Frank & Roze began as a neighborhood café in the 9+CO community, built on a belief that everyday rituals — coffee, breakfast, a familiar face — can be elevated through intention, quality, and warmth. From the beginning, the brand has been defined by specialty coffee, a scratch kitchen, and a sensibility that blends approachability with refinement.
As the brand matured, so did its culinary ambition. That evolution deepened through a partnership with acclaimed Denver chef and restaurateur Tom Coohill, bringing a chef-driven perspective to the menu while preserving Frank & Roze’s core focus on simplicity, seasonality, and craft.
The opening of Frank & Roze’s Uptown location marks a new chapter for the brand — expanding the experience into a larger, design-forward café, private event space, and commissary kitchen. This location represents a more fully realized expression of the Frank & Roze vision: where coffee, food, design, and hospitality come together in a way that feels intentional, grounded, and distinctly welcoming.
Today, Frank & Roze continues to grow thoughtfully, guided by its founding philosophy — that meaningful hospitality, done well, has the power to brighten people’s days and build lasting community.
Frank & Roze is guided by a small leadership team whose shared commitment to craft, hospitality, and thoughtful growth shapes the brand today.
