The Best Brunch in St Albans Right Now

If you are searching for the best brunch in St Albans, Christopher Place is the perfect place to start. From relaxed catch ups to indulgent weekend plates, here is where to head next.

1. Hatch
Taking the top spot, Hatch is loved by locals for good reason. Dog friendly, pram friendly and always full of atmosphere, it is a firm favourite for weekend brunch. Start with a fresh ginger and carrot juice before diving into a hearty veggie breakfast or their much talked about fried chicken on waffles. It is busy, often with a wait at the weekend, but always worth it.

2. Cosy Club
A St Albans staple and a go to for those looking to settle in and stay a while. Cosy Club is perfect for long brunches that ease into lunch time cocktails. With outdoor seating, a relaxed feel and space for both dogs and prams, it remains one of the most loved brunch spots in St Albans for 2026.

3. Pho
For something a little different, Pho offers a lighter, fresh take on brunch. Think warming broths, vibrant flavours and dishes that leave you feeling good. It is an ideal option if you are looking to mix things up or ease into the day with something nourishing.

4. Zizzi
If you are in the mood to indulge, Zizzi offers a laid back brunch that can easily turn into a long lunch. Enjoy your main before continuing with one of their delicious Italian desserts, best enjoyed out on the terrace in the sun.

5. Wagamama
Looking for an early lunch option? Wagamama is always a reliable choice. Fresh, flavour packed dishes and a menu you know will deliver every time. With outdoor seating available, it is perfect for a relaxed meal with family or your dog.

Make your visit easy with convenient parking at the Christopher Place car park on Upper Dagnall Street, placing you right in the heart of St Albans.

For a little extra, why not book a valet car clean while you brunch and take your time exploring the shops.
