Best coffee shops in Mount Prospect?

Hi all, Military spouse here. With a population of 55,648, Mount Prospect is a smaller city. The unemployment rate is 2.4%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. What do you all think? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in South. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in government. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Korean.

No regrets on my end..
