Crema's Take
“This spacious sister location of Coco & Blu excels at creating the kind of cozy-meets-modern environment where you actually want to linger—high ceilings, abundant seating options, and a thoughtful music playlist make it equally suited for solo work sessions or casual meetups. The matcha drinks (especially the lavender variation) and specialty espresso drinks are genuinely solid, though breakfast sandwiches at $15 feel steep for what you're getting. It's popular enough to fill up on weekday afternoons, so expect to share the space with other coffee enthusiasts.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Parking available.

See all on Google →good but overpriced breakfast sandwich— $15 is a lot for egg and bacon. but I did have a good london fog. nice size for co-working space. music was a little loud so good for meetings but not so much for reading/studying.
Love the amount of furniture in this cafe! A lot of different options to sit, and all super comfy. I had the matcha with lavender, it was delicious. The atmosphere is great, the playlist for music is fun and isn’t too loud or quiet.
Beautiful & spacious coffee shop! Mirrors the cozy welcoming environment of the AH coco & blu shop! I had a matcha latte and the coco club. Both were delicious. We will definitely be back!!!! Thank you to the Brown family for continuing to create spaces for community to gather!
Loved this new "branch" / sister location of Coco & Blu! Super spacious and cozy with a good amount of seating - still was mostly filled up when I arrived on a weekday at midday. Loved the high ceilings and felt less crowded than Coco & Blu does. Very similar menu and vibe as…
Despite being new and working through the little kinks, I had a great experience and great coffee. I’m a sucker for a good coffee shop and this is just what Mount Prospect needed. Has everything I look for in my coffee shops, so I think I found my new study spot.
