About PiniPico

PiniPico Coffee Co. brings the warm spirit of Brazilians to Chicago. Our founder is Dr. Luciano Dias, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who moved to Chicago 45 years ago and now with three generations of family is realizing his dream to bring more of the Brazilian culture he loves to the United States.

Together we enjoy life, and coffee. We do not obsess about the coffee, but we would love to share a fresh cup with all our neighbors. PiniPico is about the warmth and togetherness that is inherent in Brazilian culture

PiniPico’s menu focuses on Pao de Queijo -- a classic "cheese bread" recipe from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Pao de Queijo has been made for more than 100 years in Brazil from cassava root and is the perfect complement to coffee. Pao de Queijo is gluten free and we offer a variety of sizes and flavors, as well as other classic Brazilian snacks such as empadas and brigadeiros.

The PiniPico Coffee App uses background GPS Location services to:

- Detect how close you are to our location(s) so we can time your pickup or curbside pickup perfectly.

- Help us perfectly time how close you are to our location, so we can prepare your order and keep it as warm as possible when you pick it up or when we bring it out to you curbside.

- Send you Nearby Push Notification Alerts - to let you know when you're near one of our locations or pop-up cafes or farmer's market stands.

- Send you real-time deal alerts when you're close to one of our locations.
