Grain & Berry Pittsburgh Opening Set for September 19
A new healthy dining destination is preparing to open in the Pittsburgh area, giving residents another option for fresh bowls, smoothies, juices and wholesome meals.
Grain & Berry Pittsburgh is set to make its local debut at Pine Tree Shoppes in Wexford, Pennsylvania. The opening will mark the healthy food chain’s first location in the Pittsburgh area and only its second location in Pennsylvania.
According to Patch, the new restaurant will celebrate its arrival with a grand opening event on September 19 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The event will include giveaways, promotional offers and special prizes for customers.
The arrival comes as Pittsburgh’s food scene continues to offer more choices for customers looking beyond traditional fast food and heavy restaurant meals.
A Fresh Addition to the Pittsburgh Food Scene
Grain & Berry is built around a simple idea: make fresh food convenient while keeping the menu flexible.
The chain specializes in açaí bowls, smoothies, fresh juices and other foods that can work for breakfast, lunch, snacks or a quick meal. Its current menu also includes specialty toasts, chopped salads, wraps, flatbreads, quesadillas and parfaits.
That broad menu could help the new Wexford restaurant appeal to more than just customers looking for an açaí bowl.
For someone in a hurry, a smoothie or juice can provide a quick option. Customers looking for something more substantial can choose a salad, wrap or bowl. The menu also allows diners to customize certain items.
The company says its food is made fresh to order and emphasizes fresh fruits, vegetables and other ingredients. It also promotes vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-conscious choices.
What Will Grain & Berry Serve?
One of the biggest draws for the new Grain & Berry Pittsburgh location is likely to be its colorful açaí bowl selection.
The company’s signature Grain & Berry Bowl, for example, combines strawberries, blueberries, banana, granola, coconut, peanut butter and Nutella. Customers can also build their own bowl by choosing a base, fruit, toppings and additional boosts.
Other bowl options include Superfruit, Feed The Soul, Mango Passion and Relax, Eat, Repeat.
The restaurant also serves smoothies, including its popular Healthy Elvis. The smoothie combines chocolate protein, banana, honey, almond milk and peanut butter for a richer option that still fits the brand’s health-focused concept.
For customers who prefer vegetables or savory foods, Grain & Berry offers chopped salads and wraps.
Its menu also features specialty toast combinations. Options include Cheesy Caprese, Berry Bliss, Green Monstah, Best Of Cluck and Live Life On The Veg.
The selection gives the restaurant a broader identity than a traditional juice or smoothie shop.
Fresh Juices and Wellness-Focused Options
Fresh juices and wellness-oriented drinks are another important part of the Grain & Berry concept.
The company currently offers a range of juices made with fruits, vegetables and other ingredients. Its menu includes options featuring beet, apple, ginger, carrot, lemon, turmeric and spirulina.
The chain also offers small wellness shots, including ginger, turmeric and spirulina varieties.
These choices could make the Wexford restaurant particularly appealing to customers looking for a lighter alternative to conventional restaurant meals.
Still, “healthy” does not necessarily mean every item is low in calories. Some bowls, smoothies and other menu items contain substantial amounts of carbohydrates, fats or calories. Customers with specific nutritional goals should review the restaurant’s nutritional information and ingredients before ordering.
Grain & Berry also publishes an allergy notice because menu items may contain ingredients including peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, dairy, eggs, soy, sesame and other potential allergens.
Where Is the New Restaurant Located?
The new Grain & Berry will open at Pine Tree Shoppes at 12075 Perry Highway in Wexford, Pennsylvania.
The shopping center sits along Perry Highway, also known as Route 19, and includes a mix of restaurants, retailers and fitness-related businesses. A current property listing identifies Grain & Berry as one of the businesses coming to the center.
The location gives the restaurant visibility in a busy retail corridor.
According to the property’s listing, the shopping center receives more than 426,000 visits annually and has direct exposure along Perry Highway. The center also includes businesses such as Panera Bread and Orangetheory Fitness, while other restaurants and retailers operate nearby.
That setting could be useful for a fast-casual concept focused on convenient meals and takeout.
Grand Opening Offers Could Draw Big Crowds
The September 19 grand opening is expected to be a major part of the restaurant’s launch.
Patch reported that the first 100 people in line will receive free bowls for a year. Customers arriving after those first 100 will receive a Golden Ticket scratch-off with prizes ranging from a $50 gift card to $3 off a future visit.
There is also a delivery promotion tied to the opening.
Customers can receive free first-party delivery during the first 30 days by using the promotional code FREEDELIVERY, according to the Patch report.
Those offers could make the opening especially attractive to local residents curious to try the new restaurant.
The free-bowls-for-a-year promotion is likely to be the biggest attention grabber. With only 100 spots available for that giveaway, customers interested in the offer may want to arrive early.
Grain & Berry Plans More Pennsylvania Growth
The Wexford restaurant is not being positioned as a one-off location.
Patch reports that franchise partners Timir Surati, Vishal Patel and Roshan Patel own and operate the new restaurant. The partners plan to expand the brand elsewhere in Pennsylvania, with another location planned for the heart of Pittsburgh.
That means the Wexford opening could be the beginning of a larger local presence.
Grain & Berry was founded in Florida in 2017. Patch reports that the company now has more than 35 locations across nine states and hopes to add at least 60 additional locations over the next several years.
The company’s official history confirms that Grain & Berry was founded in 2017 and describes its mission as building healthy communities through fresh food and a welcoming cafe environment.
What Makes the Concept Different?
The appeal of Grain & Berry Pittsburgh is not limited to one type of food.
Instead, the restaurant combines several popular food trends under one roof.
Açaí bowls provide a colorful breakfast or snack. Smoothies offer a portable option. Fresh juices appeal to customers interested in fruit and vegetable-based drinks. Salads and wraps create more substantial meal choices, while toast and parfaits provide additional flexibility.
The company also emphasizes customization.
Its official website says customers can build their own bowls by selecting a base, fresh fruit, toppings and functional boosts. That approach allows customers to create meals around personal tastes and dietary preferences.
For a growing suburban area such as Wexford, that flexibility could be important.
Families may want different types of meals. Office workers may need quick lunches. Fitness-focused customers may want protein-rich smoothies or lighter meals. Others may simply be looking for something fresh.
A broad menu can serve all of those groups without requiring the restaurant to focus exclusively on one category.
A Restaurant Designed for Takeout and Delivery
Convenience is also central to the Grain & Berry model.
The company offers pickup, delivery and catering through its digital ordering system. Its loyalty program also allows customers to collect points and receive promotional offers.
That could be especially relevant for the new Pittsburgh-area location.
Customers do not necessarily need to sit down for a traditional restaurant meal. Instead, they can order a bowl, smoothie, salad or wrap and take it with them.
The company also promotes catering for office lunches, meetings and other gatherings.
As more consumers look for convenient meals that fit into busy schedules, that combination of dine-in, pickup and delivery could help the restaurant establish a regular customer base.
Pittsburgh’s Healthy Dining Options Continue to Expand
The arrival of Grain & Berry adds another option to a Pittsburgh food market that already has restaurants serving vegetarian, vegan and health-conscious customers.
Local dining guides highlight a range of establishments offering plant-forward and vegetarian choices across the city and surrounding communities.
However, Grain & Berry’s model is somewhat different.
Rather than operating primarily as a traditional sit-down restaurant, it combines fast-casual service with a menu centered on bowls, smoothies, juices and customizable fresh food.
That positioning could allow it to occupy a specific niche in the region.
The Wexford location may also provide a stepping stone toward the company’s planned expansion into Pittsburgh proper.
When Does Grain & Berry Open in Pittsburgh?
The first Pittsburgh-area Grain & Berry location is scheduled to hold its grand opening on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Pine Tree Shoppes in Wexford.
Customers attending the opening can expect promotional giveaways, including the limited first-100 free-bowl offer and Golden Ticket prizes.
For anyone interested in the restaurant before visiting, the official Grain & Berry website provides its current menu, nutritional information, ordering options and details about the brand’s food philosophy.

The Bottom Line
The arrival of Grain & Berry Pittsburgh gives Wexford residents a new destination for açaí bowls, smoothies, juices, salads, wraps, toast and other fresh-food options.
Its September 19 grand opening is likely to attract attention because of the unusually large promotional giveaway, particularly the offer of free bowls for a year to the first 100 customers.
More importantly, the Wexford restaurant appears to be the beginning of a broader Pennsylvania expansion. The franchise partners behind the location plan to open additional restaurants, including one in Pittsburgh itself.
With its combination of customizable meals, fresh ingredients, delivery, takeout and a broad menu, Grain & Berry is entering a market where consumers have increasingly diverse expectations about what a quick meal can be.
For Pittsburgh-area diners looking for something colorful, convenient and different from traditional fast food, the new Wexford location will soon offer another choice.
