I am not a huge coffee drinker because I get my caffeine from my pre-workout 5-6 days a week, but I will come here for an occasional treat for myself or my teenage daughter. Valentine's Day 2026 was one of those days where I was willing to spend $10 on a protein latte for her, especially because she also had a dental appointment today. The location can be hit or miss with parking, but this visit was one of the days I was able to get a spot by the door. After the remodel, I don't find the space inviting at all to sit (like I might the coffee shop on the next street over), but I did like that my daughter's latte now has higher protein options. Service is quick and the employees are fast! Funnily enough, my daughter wanted to try a TikTok recipe here, but still asked me to drive down the street for a bagel at yet another coffee spot! read more

Perfect Starbucks location. Plenty of parking in the back, and restrooms are accessible without a code -- both huge pluses when you're on the go. I ordered a cortado with oat milk and brown sugar, and it was made perfectly -- well-balanced, not too sweet, and the right temperature. Staff was efficient and the line moved fast. This spot checks all the boxes: convenient, clean, and consistent. Will definitely be coming back. read more

They are so wonderful here! Always friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. Even when it's busy and if there's a challenging situation, they handle it with grace. I go out of my way to come to this location because of the staff! Keep up the great work! read more

I used to hate this location (under Lauren's leadership- don't know when she left) but the new leadership team is AMAZING. The employees are kind and fast and I met Emily, who I believe is a lead. Mount Prospect is a small town but because it's near the train it is very busy constantly with all the Metra passengers. I love the location now and I think it is a testament to the new leadership team. It's cozy inside and comfortable. The lines moves fast and the food is fresh and delicious. If you used to come to Caribou (the location used to be a Caribou coffee) many years ago. It is no longer that obviously but the location under Lauren was awful even though the employees tried their best. Lina and every cashier there has been wonderful. Please visit and support this location now. read more

Drinks are very good. Staff is friendly and patient. The ambiance is cozy, and always gets my name right.

We were regular visitors to this location. They shut down for a couple of months for remodeling and recently re-opened. It's worse ! Less seating, less space. Couldn't get a seat this morning so we went elsewhere. read more

This Starbucks team was so nice and quick to respond when a customer dropped a full hot drink cup of specialty coffee. While it was completely the customer's mistake mishandling the cup, but the team gave her grace and made her feel valued by quickly making a new replacement. I feel great coming to this location more often now as they really care amount their customers. Clean, efficient and friendly! Thanks Mount Prospect Downtown Team! read more

They make the best drinks and have nothing but a postive environment this store feels like home and its a pleasure to visit they also have an amazing staff . read more

They closed in Sept 2023 for re-modeling and re-opened in Oct 2023. The dining area can only fit 8 people sitting down. The food and drinks that I always order via app were promptly prepared (as always). However, the interior is now a turn-off. No more place to sit and hang out and have a coffee with a friend. Lame remodeling in my opinion. read more

6:45 am Mt Prospect Starbucks (and I experience this at most- so rarely go) city gal though. " I'd like a grande dark roast with room" "Ok so a venti pikes no room"? Oh so close . read more

This Starbucks is solid in comparison to others. I was able to mobile order thanks to the app and get my drink without much issue at all. It does fall short just because of its location. I understand being next to the train tracks, but its location also means that there is a chance that drivers will be stuck waiting for a train. Also, their location means no parking lot or drive through. The parking in front and nearby almost always offer you a spot, but it is still street parking. Still, no reason apart from location to knock it less than 4 stars! read more

Starbucks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Mount Prospect, Illinois

The Starbucks down the street closed down and moved two blocks over into the downtown Mt Prospect area. Their new location has found a home where Caribou closed its doors, on the corner of Northwest Highway and Emerson. They're really trying to live up to a "Starbucks on every corner"...literally. I've seen the same employees move over, along with some veterans from other locations, probably here to help them get up and going. The staff is all friendly, as usual. They try and personalize your experience by marking your name on your drink so that they can address you, rather than your drinks over complicated title. Now, I'm a sucker for Caribou's cozy cabin ambiance, and unfortunately it is no more. It now has that same old cold and modern Starbucks feel, but that was to be expected. There is still no drive-thru, but there is street parking and a lot in back. *Drink of the moment: Soy latte, with sugar-free cinnamon dolce. read more

Nice, relaxing atmosphere. I enjoy coming in here to study every now and then with a tall hot chocolate.

One of my nearby starbucks right next to the metra. I don't come here often because I'm usually running late for my train or I'm out with my pup. I did swing by this morning. Being completely honest, I was that oblivious person that didn't have their app ready and had my AirPods in... regardless, the barista was really patient and got my drink right. I was nervous to order because I was running behind (as usual), but my drink came out quickly even though they had a few orders in. read more

Had to leave and didn't pick up my order since I saw lack of masks and a graduation party hosted at this location. No social distancing during Covid. Sorry I don't want my chai with a toping of Covid from all your guests! read more

Good, coffee that is consistent. When I mobile order, it is usually ready unless I just ordered it from the parking lot. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I love the seasonal coffee and cold brew. The other Starbucks I have visited never get their cold brew/nitro right. This location nails it every time. read more

I love Starbucks, every time I go there I always order the kids temperature hot chocolate and it always tastes delicious. My sister gets coffee there and she loves it. read more

This location is just tiny and oddly shaped! Not a lot of space for us who like to work from Starbucks from time to time and the tables are really small as well. Service was slow and I did a mobile order so they could work on my drink while I logged in to work however it still took them a while longer to get my drink ready (I always order a caramel machiatto). I probably won't be in that area in a while but just an FYI for other telecommuters. read more

This little place is not rated high enough to give credit to how hard the staff works to please the clientele. They're good. I love this place because it's tiny enough to make it intimate without being cramped. It's just right, really, and other than that it's a standard Starbucks. It's also close enough to the trains that I can order as I'm leaving the train and my coffee will be ready when I walk directly over to it. It's great. read more

If you want zero customer service and mediocre coffee at best, then this Starbucks is for you. Staff always seems rushed and are only concerned about phone app orders. We are losing touch with face to face interaction. It's not about how fast you can put out an order, but really listening and getting it right the first time. Time for Mount Prospect to have a true coffee house/cafe. read more

They treated me like I was invisible, All I wanted is a warm hot coffee to battle the Chicago cold weather. I was first in line and my gift card ready, they just ignored me. They had their friends cut in line and took their order instead. Not a friendly place. read more

I use this location from time to time since I work in Mount Prospect. I have never had a bad experience at this Starbucks and the baristas I've met have been helpful and friendly. Sometimes it can be a little slow to get your drink but it can get busy with the Metra stop right across the street. read more

Slowest Starbucks ever. Not sure why it takes 15 min to get a drink when there are only a few people in the store. The manager is beyond rude as well. They are very consistent with all of the above. read more

Terrible customer service, I waited a few minutes standing infront of the counter waiting for them to stop talking to each other before they took my order without saying hello. Rude, I just won't get Starbucks from there anymore. read more

It is June 15 2:42 PM 2 people are working. The person who ringed me up was rude it was obvious she was not having a good day and was talking to me with loud voice as is I am deaf. read more

They were out of the sandwich I ordered through mobile ordering, but Katie handled it perfectly. She went out of her way to let me know the situation. Explained all alternatives to what I ordered and quickly fixed up another sambo for me. She didn't give up until I was happy, it is employees like KATIE that make or break stores. She is great at her job, thanks again for taking care of me during the lunch rush, Katie. read more

This is one of the best Starbucks I've been in in a long time! The atmosphere is great. They have used coffee beans for people to take for their gardens/compost. It's also wind powered which is super cool! I had no idea Starbucks did that. Their little counter where sugar would be (pre-Covid) is decorated with cute messages. The staff was also wonderful (although with Starbucks that's a given) read more

I was a little hesitant on giving this review but this isn't the first time they have gotten my order wrong. Most of the time I ignore it but something as simple as no ice should be followed. This location consistently gets my order wrong but I continue to order from here due to convenience. read more

Management needs to teach this young girl Morning crew about customer service basics. Kids temp chai tea was half foam about 1/2 liquid...impossible to not feel difference in weight with that one and mine. Told them and nothing but rolling eyes, mouthing, and attitude. I just kept it and left. As a business owner, they are liabilities. Train them right or let them go. If you actually plan to do anything, shift on 11/4/17 at 7:25am. Dirty blonde (she was the worst) and Filipino looking female. Someone is going to give it back to them...just a matter of time. read more

the real "Essential workers" thanks for the great coffee and coming to work everyday just for ME read more

Everybody has been nice here & I don't mind the smaller location. I don't think that's uncommon for older store fronts to be small and it's even part of the charm. That being said... I've never had a Starbucks so regularly screw up my order. I only moved here a few months ago, & I've stopped in here at least 20 times in that time frame (that hurts me to admit!), and honestly, a solid 30% of the time my order is wrong. Not blatantly like I got somebody else's drink, but here's the story: I ordered Cascara cold brews all summer (from multiple locations by work, friends' houses whatever). I know what it's supposed to taste like. It was the 3rd or 4th time that is was so gross, and I had time to spare, so I actually went back in and asked them to remake it which is really not my style. As I'm watching her make it, she put in 0 pumps of vanilla when a venti is supposed to have 3 (thanks mobile ordering app!). At that point I just felt rude as 2 other ppl behind the counter were watching this lady re make it (they also didn't correct her though...). The barista herself was super sweet, so honestly I just left with a second gross cold brew (no offense to all you bad*sses who can handle it without flavoring). As I kept randomly getting bad cascaras I was starting to question whether I knew what I was talking about at all... then funny enough a friend of mine ordered the cascara from this store a few days after tasting mine (a good one), and bam- they texting me asking what the hell my drink had been because theirs was disgusting haha so yeah, I don't know if it's an individual who needs re training? It's certainly not the whole store because *most* of the time it's okay, but gross frequently enough that I busted out my old keurig and got flavors from TJ Maxx to make my own PS lattes this year. I can justify spending outrageous amount of $$ on delicious coffee, but not when it's a gamble if it will be drinkable or not. read more

I love the staff at this location! The downtown MP area can be very congested/busy. The staff here is always kind, thorough, and productive. Never had a drink messed up and the location is super cute. read more

I come here to work 2-3 times a week. I enjoy the atmosphere and the coffee is good. I get straight-up, regular coffee.

This location was formerly a Caribou. It's THE primo location in downtown MP, and I'm not surprised at all that the Bucks moved two blocks over. The Metra is right across the street. The interior was renovated, and the fireplace is sadly gone, along with all cushy chairs. They now have seven two-place tables, a window counter with four side-by-side seats, each with an outlet, and a weird U-shaped bench that usually has four two-place tables at its sides. So, downsides: loss of fireplace and cushy chairs, loss of large 8 person table. Upsides: they added a vestibule (yay! So much warmer in winter), more outlets everywhere for charging, and they have a Clover!! No need to buy a 1/2 pound of coffee for $17.50 when you can test it out for a mere $3.50 per tall. (I'm really not being sarcastic, this can be an affordable luxury without a commitment!). There is ample outdoor seating in a sunny location on the corner with awesome train watching. There are 11 tables outside. (That's a lot, people!). No drive thru, but angled street parking and a shared lot out back make it easy to run in. Nice restrooms. Friendly staff. Once they forgot my Clover drink for a long time, manager did the right thing and gave me a free drink. If you get really lucky, you can see the Metra locomotive "Village of Mount Prospect" stop at Mount Prospect!! How meta! read more

How hard is it to make a iced vanilla latte?! After making 3 attempts, i get the same results. Stupidity is to make that mistake over and over again. Those baristas need help. It's not even worthy to even give them a one star. The last time i went here, i had the same issue. They put like only one shot in my coffee and all you taste is the milk and vanilla. Super disappointed. Surprised that place is still open. read more

Awesome people work at this location!! Friendly , fun , respectful , and knowledgable ! My family and I go here and we are never disappointed . No matter how busy it gets in there they always take a moment to say hello. Justine the manager runs a very efficient store and her happiness is very contagious .. read more

Will not visit that location again !!!! Starbucks your stuff is pretty expensive, at least give a good service !!!!!!!!! Went for a new holiday drink- salted caramel frapuccino which I like a lot... I TOOK 2 - THE SAME, she gave me one cold on hot,,,, non of it TASTED like what I have ordered.. I returned the hot one and said that it was not what I had ordered, she just looked at me with angry face, I didn't return the other ( regret about it) GUESS what ,she gave me AGAIN the drink that I didn't order.. What the hell is that???????? Your stuff is expensive,,pay attention to what you do!!!!!! Plus there were not other people, but still service was sooooo slow read more

This Starbucks is good for the most part and the baristas are mostly nice but there is this one lady who walked in on my and my friend in the bathroom( her mom said we had tj go together because of weridos) and then closed the door than pounded on the door to come out and we did. Then she yelled at us to get out read more

This is the most horrible Starbucks - horrible service - slow at best. Nearby train station but they have no interest in serving commuters. My most recent experience was horrible - I waited for 15 min at the counter attempting to order my coffee with no one in line ahead of me. All Starbucks employees were servicing other orders, not taking orders from the visitors coming in. Horrible service. For high priced coffee, I would expect much better service. I will never visit this Starbucks again. read more

I love Starbucks coffee, I cannot deny. Went here yesterday with my daughter who uses a wheelchair...oh my gosh the accessibility here is beyond awful! It's hard to get in the door let alone around the store. It also didn't help that they were slow as molasses making our drinks so of course, we were in everybody's way! Thank goodness we didn't plan on having our coffee there because there's no way we would have gotten around to a table without bothering others! read more
