Ultimate Office Hero Move: Nail Breakfast Without the Stress
By Lara, Content Editor at Graen · 4 minute read
Let’s play a quick game of “Spot the Office Manager.”
If you spent your morning squinting at a spreadsheet trying to figure out how to order a breakfast that satisfies Brenda from accounts (gluten-free, dairy-free), Dave from marketing (requires approximately four pastries to function), and the newly vegan intern, all while praying the food actually arrives before the 9:00 AM quarterly review... congratulations, you are the unsung hero of the workplace.
But let’s be honest: organising an office breakfast can be an absolute minefield. It’s the kind of low-key stress that requires an extra shot of espresso before your day has even properly begun.
Here at Graen, we think that’s a tragedy. Breakfast should be a joy, a team-bonding moment, and a stellar reason to actually get out of bed - not a source of existential dread for the person ordering it. So, we’ve done what we do best: gathered London’s finest morning eats into ready-to-go office platters that will make you look like a catering genius, with zero of the hassle.
While we have a massive, ever-growing lineup of morning treats on our platform, here is a cheeky little taster of three brilliant brands shaking up our breakfast scene right now.
The Great Pastry Mountain
Is it even an office breakfast if there isn’t a light dusting of flaky croissant crumbs on someone’s keyboard? We think not. If you want to see your team's eyes light up, you need pastries—and lots of them.
From the absolute masters of the craft at Paris Baguette, we’ve got stunning platters of mini pastries that are practically works of art. We’re talking golden Croissants, rich Pain aux Raisins, and the decadent Torsade au Chocolate that pair perfectly with a cup of coffee and a brainstorm session. It's the classic continental breakfast crowd-pleaser, entirely boxed up and ready to devour.
The All-Inclusive Spread (Yes, Vegans and Veggies Rejoice!)
The biggest headache of office ordering is always ensuring nobody feels left out. There is nothing worse than the dietary-requirement awkwardness when the food arrives.
Don't worry, we’ve got your back. Over at Abokado, they’ve mastered the art of healthy, vibrant fuel that keeps the energy high without the mid-morning sugar crash. Their breakfast platters are loaded with crowd-pleasing egg pots, breakfast rolls and bagels, and they are an absolute dream for dietary inclusivity. Whether your team needs hearty vegetarian options or delicious plant-based vegan fuel to kickstart the day, Abokado keeps everyone very happy and very full.
The Carb-Loading Champions
Sometimes, a standard slice of toast just won’t cut it. For those mornings when the team needs some serious, old-school comfort food to tackle a big deadline, enter B Bagel.
These guys have been perfecting the art of the traditional boil-and-bake bagel for over 30 years, and their platters are legendary. You can load up the table with mini breakfast bagel platters, or go all out with their Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese spreads. Pillowy, chewy, and completely free of additives, it's the ultimate premium morning fuel.
Just the Tip of the Breakfast Iceberg...
Now, while Paris Baguette, Abokado, and B Bagel are absolute rockstars, they are definitely not the only tricks we have up our sleeve. Whether your team is craving hot breakfast boxes, gourmet yogurt pots, fresh fruit platters, or artisanal coffee setups, the Graen platform is bursting with a wide range of incredible breakfast options to explore. No matter what your office is in the mood for, we can source it.
