There are some collaborations that make perfect sense the moment you hear them. This is one of them.


On Friday, April 10, Bungalow is welcoming Two Friends Granola for a special one-day pop-up in the showroom — a partnership that feels especially fitting given that Bungalow, too, is built by two friends. The result is a gathering rooted in what both brands do best: thoughtful curation, warm hospitality, and the kind of simple pleasures people come back to again and again.


For those just discovering the brand, Two Friends Granola began with a friendship that started more than twenty years ago when two moms met through nursery school. Over time, that friendship grew through family life, work, and shared encouragement. According to the brand’s story, the business took shape after one of the founders, Manisha, gave her homemade granola as Christmas gifts and her friend Jodi encouraged her to turn it into something bigger. Today, the company is still built around that original dynamic: Manisha as co-founder and culinary director, Jodi as co-founder and brand director.


That origin story is part of what makes the brand so appealing. It doesn’t feel manufactured. It feels personal — the kind of pantry staple that started in a home kitchen and grew because people genuinely wanted more of it.


 

What makes Two Friends Granola different

 


Two Friends Granola sits in a sweet spot that many people are looking for right now: elevated enough to gift, easy enough to keep in rotation every day. The brand describes its granola as handcrafted and made to be shared, and that comes through in the way it’s positioned — less like an afterthought in the pantry, more like something you intentionally reach for.


Right now, the lineup includes three flavors:

 

Almond Berry Crunch

A fruit-forward option with a bright, easy appeal that feels especially right for spring mornings and yogurt bowls.

A brown resealable pouch of Two Friends Granola Almond Berry Crunch sits on a white surface, featuring crunchy almonds, a clear window displaying granola inside, and a white label with a purple stripe.

 

 

Maple Nut Crunch

A warmer, toastier profile that reads classic and comforting — the kind of granola that works just as well by the handful as it does layered over breakfast.

A brown resealable pouch labeled "Two Friends Granola Maple Nut Crunch" sits on a white surface, with golden oats and granola visible through a clear window at the bottom of the package.

 

 

Simply Oat Crunch

A more understated option for those who like their granola straightforward, versatile, and endlessly pairable.

A brown, resealable pouch of Two Friends Granola's Simply Oat Crunch sits on a white surface, featuring a clear window showing oats and toasted coconut, and a label with a smiling sun logo.

 

 

All three flavors are currently featured on the brand’s site as part of its core offering.


 

Why it feels so at home at Bungalow

 

At Bungalow, we’ve always believed the best homes are built through layering: the right furniture, the right textiles, the right art — and, just as often, the right small rituals. A favorite candle. A beautiful tray. A cookbook left open on the counter. A pantry item that makes everyday routines feel a little more intentional.


That’s what makes this pop-up feel like more than just an event. Two Friends Granola fits into the same lifestyle Bungalow has always celebrated: welcoming, relaxed, beautifully considered, and meant to be shared.


It’s easy to picture these granola bags becoming part of a spring kitchen reset, tucked into a hostess gift, added to a weekend breakfast spread, or set out as part of a casual gathering with friends. They’re small, yes — but they carry the kind of personality that makes them memorable.


A Scottsdale pop-up worth stopping in for

 


For local customers, the Two Friends Granola pop-up at Bungalow on April 10 is a chance to meet the founders, shop the granola in person, and experience the collaboration the way it was intended: in a space that values story as much as style.


We’re also opening pre-orders through the Bungalow website ahead of the event to help guarantee availability for pickup that day. It’s the easiest way to reserve your favorite flavor before the pop-up and make sure your bag is waiting for you.


Whether you’ve followed Two Friends Granola for a while or you’re just learning about them now, this is exactly the kind of collaboration we love bringing into the store — thoughtful, personal, and rooted in real connection.
