What's the difference? Choosing the right granola for your Australian cafe? We compare our own premium brands, Plum Organic and Mulberry Tree, to help you decide.

Granola has become a must-have on just about every cafe menu. It’s not only a star performer in acai bowls, but also tops off yoghurt parfaits and breakfast classics with satisfying crunch and loads of flavour. But with so many options out there, how do you know you’re choosing the right granola for your business? At Opera Foods, we understand how much the small details matter—both to your customers and to your brand.

That’s why we produce two standout granola brands: Plum Organic and Mulberry Tree. Each brings its own unique strengths and appeals to different needs, customers, and cafe philosophies. Here’s a closer look at both, plus handy links to the products so you can get inspired—or even order directly for your cafe.

Plum Organic: Award-Winning, Pure, and Sustainable

If your cafe champions clean eating, sustainability, and a premium feel, Plum Organic’s award-winning Maple Nut Crunch Granola is a perfect fit. Plum Organic is certified organic, which means every wholesome ingredient is sourced from organic farms committed to sustainable practices. Not only that, but—like all Opera Foods granola—Plum Organic is crafted without any preservatives, so you can feel confident that you’re serving honest food.

What sets Plum Organic apart goes beyond its organic credentials. It’s a brand that tells a story: from eco-friendly sourcing to the vibrant, pure taste of its ingredients. The Maple Nut Crunch Granola is a customer favourite—delicate hints of maple and a satisfying nutty crunch make it ideal for health-conscious diners and anyone looking for food that's real, unprocessed, and kind to the planet.

Plum Organic is ideal for:

• Cafes with a strong health or eco-conscious brand identity.
• Menus where “certified organic granola” draws attention and loyalty.
• Customers who appreciate a premium product and are happy to pay for exceptional quality.

If your cafe highlights sustainable values or proudly features “paddock-to-plate” style offerings, Plum Organic will fit right into your story.

Mulberry Tree: Versatile, Crowd-Pleasing, and Value-Focused

Looking for a granola that’s as reliable as it is delicious? Mulberry Tree granola is made for versatility, quality, and wide appeal—without any artificial preservatives. While not certified organic, Mulberry Tree is created with care from premium ingredients that deliver big on taste and crunch, making it a favourite for busy cafes looking to serve a variety of customers.

Mulberry Tree’s range, including the Roasted Almond Crunch Granola, has earned a reputation for consistency and value. It’s the kind of granola that feels at home on any menu—from hearty breakfast bowls to a simple fruit and yoghurt pairing. Our Roasted Almond Crunch is particularly prized for its famous crunchy clusters that won't go soggy.

Super Crunch Nut Free Granola, also from Mulberry Tree, delivers the same crunch but without the nuts. Why would you want a no-nut granola?

Mulberry Tree works well for:

• Cafes serving a diverse mix of regulars, families, and students.
• Menus where cost-effectiveness needs to balance with premium quality.
• Owners who want a dependable staple granola for a range of applications.

Not just for cafes, our premium granola brands are a popular choice amongst takeaway retailers too. Find out how to stop granola from going soggy in grab-and-go granola bowls.

Opera Foods’ Ethos: Preservative-Free, Naturally

No matter which granola you choose, you can count on one Opera Foods promise across every single product: absolutely no preservatives. Whether you pick Plum Organic for its organic certification or Mulberry Tree for its consistency and value, you’re serving your customers food that’s as close to nature as possible—lovingly baked in Australia.

Choosing the Right Granola for Your Cafe

Selecting the granola that fits your menu best isn’t just about taste; it’s about matching your brand and your customers’ expectations. Here are a couple of things to consider:

• Who are your customers? If you’re attracting the wellness crowd or serving up premium brunches, Plum Organic will make your menu stand out. If you’re all about being the local go-to cafe—for families, students, or anyone after a tasty, honest breakfast—Mulberry Tree ticks all the right boxes.
• What’s your brand story? Leaning into sustainability and organics? Highlight Plum Organic. Offering a broad, affordable menu with a focus on quality? Mulberry Tree will serve you (and your customers) well.
