Correction (4 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 on 4 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Where do you eat breakfast in Fairfield, and when do the doors open? This page covers six places in and around Fairfield: one in Fairfield itself and five over the border in Northcote.
Every place was checked against at least two of OpenStreetMap, its own website and the Australian Good Food Guide. Hours are credited to whoever lists them, and prices appear only where a menu printed them.
Sweet or savoury, pick a lane. Then check the hours line, because the listings for one of these places disagree with each other.

The menu prints the Brekkie Wrap, with free range eggs, hash brown, cheese, bacon, mayonnaise and barbecue sauce, at $9.50. It also prints Nouha’s Big Breakfast at $16.50, built on Lebanese bread, free range eggs, sujuk, olives, tomato, mint, cucumber and labna.

Red Door Corner Store’s site lists 7am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm on weekends, and AGFG tags it Breakfast: 7 Days. The menu prints Local Free-range Eggs at $17.50, served on organic toast. It also prints Shakshuka at $29.50 and Housemade Wholemeal Crumpets at $15.50. The menu says a 10% surcharge applies on Saturday and Sunday, so weekend bills run higher than printed.

Ash & Rye — 8/57 Victoria Road, Northcote VIC 3070
AGFG tags Ash & Rye with Breakfast, Alfresco Dining and Fully Licensed. Its AGFG hours show 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM on Monday and Wednesday to Friday, 8:00 AM on weekends, and Tuesday closed. Its own page is an Instagram account, which we did not read, so we have no menu and no prices to print. AGFG also tags Vegan Options and Gluten Free Options.
Go for: a Wednesday to Sunday start, since the AGFG listing shows Tuesday closed.
Shamiat Authentic Syrian Restaurant — 60-64 Victoria Road, Northcote VIC 3070
Shamiat’s site says it serves a variety of Syrian meals, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and an assortment of sweets. Its listed hours start at 10:00 AM from Friday to Sunday, with 1:00 PM on Wednesday and Thursday and 5:00 PM on Monday. The site lists no Tuesday, so confirm before you head over. We could not read menu prices, so none are printed here.
Go for: a Friday to Sunday morning, which is when the site’s earliest listed hour of 10:00 AM applies.
Four Beans Cafe — 22 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Four Beans Cafe’s AGFG hours show 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM on weekdays and 7:30 AM on weekends, and AGFG tags it Breakfast. Its site says it is a fully licensed venue with indoor and outdoor seating. The site also lists vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Its menu page has no readable text, so no prices are printed.
Go for: the early start, with AGFG’s weekday listing opening at 7:00 AM.
Little Local — 299 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Little Local’s site says it is serving Single O coffee, and AGFG tags it Breakfast. The site lists 7:30am to 3:00pm Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 3:30pm on Friday and 8:00am to 3:30pm on weekends. It describes accessible seating across its indoor space, atrium and sunny back deck. The menu is a PDF that did not read as text, so no prices are printed.
Roaster: the site names Single O, which is as far as the published detail goes.
