My favorite meal of all time is without a doubt brunch, the perfect combo of a late breakfast and an early lunch. Especially on the weekend, brunch is the perfect activity to do with friends in Worcester. Whether it’s a Saturday morning before a football game or a Sunday morning debrief of the night prior, I have the best brunch recommendations for your next Worcester brunch. 

Altea’s 

259 Park Ave, Worcester, MA 01609

Altea’s is without a doubt my favorite brunch spot in Worcester. My order is a breakfast sandwich with a bagel instead of a croissant. For the fall season, they have a pumpkin iced coffee that I have been loving. If you’re looking for something sweet they also have the best crepes. 

Mercantile 

2 Mercantile St, Worcester, MA 01608

The Mercantile is a classic Worcester staple for lunch and dinner, but I believe their brunch is underrated. Whether to have their daily donut or start some day drinking, you cannot go wrong with a Mercantile brunch. 

Miss Worcester Diner 

300 Southbridge St, Worcester, MA 01608

If you are looking for a diner experience, Miss Woo’s is the place to go. My favorite thing to get is the French toast. 

Boulevard Diner 

155 Shrewsbury St, Worcester, MA 01604

No matter what time you’re craving brunch on the weekend, Boulevard Diner is the place to go. Open 24 hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday you can find yourself brunch. 

Kimball! 

If you’re an HC student, you already know the address…

If there’s one thing Kimball Dining Hall does right, it’s a weekend breakfast. Don’t underestimate Kimball when thinking about a Sunday morning brunch.
