Lynn Wannop, who owns Coco’s Café with her husband Andrew, has endeavoured to not just serve coffee but also serve her community through volunteering.
Born in 1976 to Barb and Mel Parcels, Wannop originally heralds from Edmonton, specifically south of downtown along Whyte Avenue.
“Whyte Avenue is very different now, but when I was growing up, Whyte Avenue was a very, very heart-of-the-arts scene, very alternative, early ’90s, kind of when I came into my own and worked at all the cafés and nightclubs,” Wannop said.
