Grain and Berry – Everyone’s favorite superfood cafe specializing in delicious handcrafted items, made with the freshest ingredients available.

ABOUT US

The Grain & Berry Management Team Has a Simple Philosophy...

“Care for and help our franchisees like they are family”

Established in the summer of 2017, Grain & Berry has rapidly become a go-to destination for health-conscious food lovers. From refreshing acai bowls, fresh-pressed juices, and smoothies to cauliflower or broccoli crust flatbreads, quesadillas, yogurt parfaits, hearty custom toasts, and international coffees — the menu offers something for everyone. Every item is handcrafted to order and made without dyes, artificial colors, or sweeteners. Grain & Berry’s innovative, plant-based creations not only look incredible but taste even better.

When designing the first Grain & Berry restaurant, the founders identified two key gaps in the existing health food market. The first was the lack of ample seating — most health food restaurants ranged from just 700 to 1,200 sq. ft., offering very limited seating. In response, Grain & Berry developed larger spaces, typically between 1,500 and 2,800 sq. ft., with seating for 30 to 80 guests per location. This focus on comfort and community has become a cornerstone of the brand’s success, making each location a welcoming spot for friends and families to enjoy a healthy meal together. The second missing element was the absence of a true 5-star health food experience — one that combined beautiful décor, exceptional food presentation, fresh ingredients, and outstanding hospitality. By bringing together all of these elements, Grain & Berry has positioned itself as a market leader in every community it serves.
