This ordinance increases the number of Class "F.3" liquor licenses by one CoCo & Maple LLC d/b/a CoCo & Maple located at 130 E. Northwest Hwy. Mount Prospect, IL. Meeting January 6, 2026 - REGULAR MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT VILLAGE BOARD Fiscal Impact (Y/N) Dollar Amount Budget Source Category MAYORS REPORT Type Action Item Information In February 2024, the Village Manager and Leadership team met with owners Michael Brown and Denise Brown regarding the opening of a cafe location in Mount Prospect. Since that meeting, the Brown's have expanded their business and opened a new venture in downtown Mount Prospect, located on the first -floor of HQ Residences luxury apartment complex. CoCo & Maple opened in October 2025 and is now seeking a Class "F-3" liquor license at their 130 E. Northwest Hwy location. The Class ""F-3" license provides for full service of alcohol at dining tables along with a lounge component. The Brown's bring extensive knowledge to the restaurant industry, having opened CoCo & Blu in downtown Arlington Heights in 2019. Through quality coffees, cocktails, and conversation, the Browns aim to create an inviting atmosphere that feels like an extension of their living room —a place where guests can feel comfortable, happy and well-fed. Their son, Nate Brown, is also an owner and will manage the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. The newly constructed cafe occupies approximately 3,348 sq. ft. and includes indoor dining seating for 53, indoor bar seating for 11 and another outdoor patio space with seating for 56 totaling a seating capacity of 129. The Maple Street patio will feature a sound wall to reduce train noise, fire tables and catenary overhead lighting. The restaurant currently operates daily from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Upon issuance of a liquor license, the proposed hours of operation would be 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday, until 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays and until 11:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The daytime menu includes handcrafted coffee and teas, freshly baked pastries, cookies and top- quality seasonal daytime offerings such as quiches, salads, soups and sandwiches. Evening service will feature a variety of appetizer boards, entrees, homemade desserts, hand-crafted signature cocktails, and wines. Michael, Denise, and Nate are all Bassett certified and understand that all employees serving alcohol must also be certified. A complete application along with fees and required documents have been submitted. Should the Village Board view this application favorably, adoption of an Ordinance creating a new "Class F-3" license would be required. Discussion Alternatives 1. Approve an ordinance increasing the number of Class "F-3" liquor licenses. 2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of an ordinance creating a new Class ""F-3" license and welcomes CoCo & Maple to Downtown Mount Prospect. Attachments 1. CoCo& Maple ORDINANCE NO.
