New brands on Graen this month
Is it June or is it November? Who knows. We’re barely one week in and already we’ve had a record-breaking heatwave, more rain than usually falls in a year, and Graen have signed three new brands. But while you’ve been busy digging out both your sunglasses and your umbrella, our team has been working round the clock to grow our marketplace. We’re on a mission to bring you fresh food inspiration every single month, and this week’s lineup is an absolute banger.
Paris Baguette
Founded in 1988, this renowned patisserie brings the ultimate French bakery experience straight to our doorsteps. Despite growing into a global favourite from New York to Seoul (and now brilliant spots right here in London) they’ve never lost that 'great little neighborhood bakery' feel. Their menu is a masterclass in beautifully crafted indulgence, seamlessly blending the art of traditional baking with stunning, modern flair. From impossibly flaky morning pastries and iconic, crisp artisan baguettes to decadent, show-stopping cakes and premium lunchtime options, everything they do is made with incredible care and top-quality ingredients. It’s premium, feel-good food designed to elevate any office hou.
EK Bakery
This incredible female-founded independent bakery has grown from a single oven in an Islington flat into a beloved community staple tucked away in Hackney. Built on absolute dedication, grit, and an obsession with flavour, everything they create is crafted with an artist's eye and a baker's precision. Their menu is a beautifully creative celebration of the seasons, showcasing a rotating lineup of artisan treats, decadent sweet bakes, and stunningly decorated showstoppers. Every single recipe is rigorously tested for months to ensure pure, indulgent perfection, making their premium boxes the ultimate afternoon pick-me-up or celebration treat for the office. It’s vibrant, modern baking at its absolute finest, and it’s safe to say the Graen team is completely obsessed.
Abokado
Born out of pure corporate frustration, this high-street icon was created by a husband-and-wife duo who were completely fed up with the uninspiring, heavy lunches on offer during their own office days. They set out on a brilliant mission to prove that healthy, fresh workplace fuel could be anything but boring - and they absolutely nailed it. Their vibrant menu is specifically designed to keep your team energised and happy, completely banning the dreaded mid-afternoon sugar crash. From loaded morning bagels and steaming hot pots to fresh artisan sushi, crisp salad boxes, and incredibly creative plant-based options, they serve up a wholesome masterclass in fast, feel-good food. It’s the ultimate way to bring nutritious, insanely tasty variety straight to the boardroom table.
Kaana
At the heart of this fantastic brand is a beautiful love story between a husband and wife from two different corners of the globe, bringing a stunning fusion of British and Persian culinary heritages straight to the table. After trading successful corporate careers to follow their true passion for exceptional hospitality, they’ve created a menu that is the absolute definition of generous, crowd-pleasing comfort. Built on a foundation of deeply rooted family recipes, their vibrant range features incredibly fresh, wholesome sharing spreads, delicious hot main dishes, and gorgeous grazing setups that are packed with aromatic herbs, bold spices, and bright, sunny flavours. It’s an absolute masterclass in sophisticated yet comforting food that turns any corporate meeting into a vibrant celebration
