From Crazy Idea to Café: The Piragua Journey
Piragua started as a dream in 2022 when Nicolás first began shaping the idea. After countless headaches, bursts of inspiration, moments of laughter, and even a few tears, that dream found a home in 2023 in the heart of West Queen West. That’s when Piragua truly came to life.
But this journey wasn’t walked alone. Piragua is more than just one person’s vision—it’s a reality made possible by an incredible community. The support of family, friends, and a dedicated team has been the true foundation of this adventure. Without them, this dream wouldn’t have become a reality.
Piragua isn’t just a café—it’s a celebration of culture, craftsmanship, and connection. And this is just the beginning.
