Oak Lawn’s first all-vegan cafe is here to fill your heart and plate!
A long-awaited dream is about to unfold in Oak Lawn. On March 5, 2025, Abuelita Coco’s, the town’s first-ever vegan cafe, will officially open its doors—welcoming the community into a space where love, tradition, and intention are infused into every dish.
A Labor of Love and Tradition
Founder Casandra Flores, inspired by the love of her grandmother, Maria Del Socorro Serna, envisioned Abuelita Coco’s as more than just a restaurant. It’s a place where the scent of cinnamon and café de olla fills the air, where vintage charm evokes deep sentiment, and where every recipe is crafted with heart. Every corner tells a story—one of devotion, feminine strength, and the beauty of slowing down to embrace the present moment.
“I originally dreamed of opening Abuelita Coco’s in 2024, but life had its own timing,” said Casandra. “Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. Every step of the journey led to something even more magical. Abuelita Coco’s is a dream, but it’s also a space where everyone can feel at home, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and stories that connect us all.”
