Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a proper budget, not a joke, and a price board stretches it further than a menu does. This page picks one item per place that sits under $15, copied from a menu or a delivery listing, with a line on what it is for anyone reading the board cold.
That is five places in and around Boronia: four with a Boronia address and one, Barry Street Lunch Bar, in Bayswater. Two prices come from the venue’s own website. The other three come from DoorDash listings, which can differ from the price at the counter, so the table says so where it matters.

1947 Cafe — 11/163 Boronia Road, Boronia VIC 3155
The cafe’s own site lists a Za’atar manoush at $4.00. A manoush is a Levantine flatbread, and the menu describes this one as a za’atar herb blend with olive oil. Next on the board is the Sujuk manoush at $10.00, described as sujuk, cheese, olives, tomatoes and capsicum; sujuk is a spiced sausage. A flat white is listed in three sizes, from S$5.50 up to L$7.50.
The site’s hours run Tuesday to Friday 7:00 am - 3:00 pm and Saturday and Sunday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm, with Monday closed. The site says breakfast is served all day, so a manoush and a coffee works as brekkie or a late feed. HappyCow prints different hours, so check before you go.
On the menu (copied from 1947cafe.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Za’atar manoush: $4.00
- Sujuk manoush: $10.00
- Flat White: S$5.50 M$6.50 L$7.50
The move: Start with the Za’atar manoush at $4.00, then decide whether the Sujuk is worth the extra.
Subway Boronia — Shop 1, Boronia Junction, 123 Boronia Rd, Boronia VIC 3155
Subway sits in Boronia Junction at Shop 1. A DoorDash listing prices the Korean-Style BBQ Steak from A$12.85, the Chicken Classic at A$13.05 and the Chicken Schnitzel at A$13.45. The listing does not state the sandwich size, so read these as the listed price for the item, not as a footlong or a six-inch. We did not find hours for this shop, so none are given here.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 2 October 2026):
- Chicken Schnitzel (DoorDash listing): A$13.45
- Korean-Style BBQ Steak (DoorDash listing): A$12.85
- Chicken Classic (DoorDash listing): A$13.05
The move: Check the size on the order screen before you pay, because the listing does not say.
Bakers Delight Boronia — Shop 8, Boronia Junction, 123 Boronia Road, Boronia VIC 3155
Bakers Delight is in the same Boronia Junction complex as Subway, at Shop 8. DoorDash lists the Cheesymite Scroll at $6.10 and describes it as a classic, filling treat; it is a scroll of bread with cheese and Vegemite. The Ham & Cheese Danish is $6.20, the Mini Cheesymite Scroll 4 Pack is $12.60 and the Pizza 2 Pack is $14.10, all under the ceiling.
These are DoorDash prices, and the page itself says prices may differ between delivery and pickup. The ShopFully store listing shows the shop open 6:00am to 7:30pm Monday to Friday, 6:00am to 6:30pm Saturday and 6:00am to 7:00pm Sunday.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- Cheesymite Scroll: $6.10
- Ham & Cheese Danish: $6.20
- Mini Cheesymite Scroll 4 Pack: $12.60
- Pizza 2 Pack: $14.10
The move: Ask the shop for its counter price before you rely on the DoorDash one.
Oz Boys Pizza and Pasta — 98 Boronia Rd, Boronia VIC 3155
The pizza shop’s own online-ordering menu lists a small Margherita at $13.90, made with double cheese, garlic and herbs. The small Vegetarian is the same $13.90, with mushroom, onion, capsicum, olives, garlic and herbs. A margherita is the plain tomato-and-cheese pizza, so it is the easy order for anyone new to the board.
The opening-hours markup on its own site starts at 17:00 every day, so this is a dinner stop, not a lunch one. It closes at 21:30 Sunday to Thursday and 22:30 Friday and Saturday.
On the menu (copied from ozboysboronia.com.au on 2 October 2026):
- Margherita pizza - Small: $13.90
- Vegetarian pizza - Small (Mushroom, onion, capsicum, olives, garlic, herbs): $13.90
The move: Order a small on a weeknight; the bigger sizes on the same menu are priced above this page’s ceiling.
Barry Street Lunch Bar — 38 Barry Street, Bayswater VIC 3153
This one is in Bayswater, not Boronia. A DoorDash listing prices the Double Egg, Bacon & Cheese Roll at $13.50, and a serve of chips at $7.50. We found conflicting hours between sources, so none are printed here. Those are delivery prices, and the chips are a side rather than a meal.
On the menu (copied from doordash.com on 3 October 2026):
- Double Egg, Bacon & Cheese Roll: $13.50
- Chips: $7.50
The move: Treat the roll as the whole feed and skip the side.
