Yes, Prestidigitation is an incredible Cantrip that allows tons and tons of roleplay.
I came up with a cool combat use too. Place a few candle sticks on the ground or on a ledge near the enemy's expected axis of advance. When the enemy is expected to be in the right position, use prestidigitation to light candles. and the enemy is standing in the midst of a well illuminated area. combine that with some oil and you can have a real panic on your hands.

100% Find Familiar. Yes, there are far more powerful summoning spells, but the flavor and roleplaying potential cannot be understated. Any wizard that doesn't take Find familiar at some point in their first few levels is seriously missing out.
Whenever I play a wizard, the first spell I ever cast in the campaign in almost always Find Familiar as a ritual. It's just too good in every way.
Flock of Familiars is awesome. One of the coolest I've heard of is Geas, which is an amazing mind control spell, especially if you're trying to kill the target.
My favorite is scorching rays. while it has no roleplaying purpose its pure amount of potential firepower is stupendous with three rays each rolling a d10 for damage and the potential for more rays the higher level the spell, it can eviscerate or heavily weaken tough enemies in one blow.

I love Prestidigitation, Thaumaturgy, and whatever else does fun effects. :)

BOOYAGH!!!!
Hunger of Hadar is an disgustingly underrated spell and that's probably because its a Warlock exclusive spell.
I wonder how plummeting hundreds of feet feels

Find familiar. This one 1st level ritual spell can give you the following 6 benefits:
Suppose you choose an owl for your familiar.
If I'm playing any class that doesn't have access to a familiar, I strongly consider the Wizard Magic Initiate feat just to get access to this spell.
Started playing 1e in the late 70s and stopped in the mid-80s. Started immersing myself into 5e in the last year.
