Correction (5 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 5 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Four breakfast spots, all near Kalkallo rather than in it. One is in Donnybrook, two are in Craigieburn and one is in Mickleham.
Each one is tagged or described for breakfast by its own site or the Australian Good Food Guide. We checked them on 5 October 2026 against a second source.
Only Peppercino Cafe has menu prices we could read. The rest say so below. Sweet or savoury, check the hours first.

Degani (Craigieburn, Stockland Highlands) — Stockland Highlands Shopping Centre, Shop 20, 300 Grand Blvd, Craigieburn VIC 3064
This Degani is in the Stockland Highlands centre in Craigieburn. Its page is titled Coffee & Breakfast, and the site says meals and pastries are available all day.
The brand’s site says its blends and single origins are Bronze medal winners at the Australian Golden Bean Competition. That is a brand-wide statement, not a branch one. Hours as the site lists them: Sunday to Wednesday 8:00am – 8:00pm, Thursday to Saturday 8:00am – 9:00pm. Menu prices sit in an ordering app, so we have none.
Go for: Coffee with a pastry, from the 8:00am start the site lists.
Al-Sayed Restaurant & Cafe Craigieburn — Shop 1, 1-9 Mareeba Way, Craigieburn VIC 3064
Al-Sayed is a Craigieburn restaurant serving Iraqi and wider Middle Eastern dishes. AGFG lists Breakfast under its features, and lists 8:00 AM - 12:00 AM every day. Its own site gives no hours.
The site says all dishes use halal ingredients and that it offers takeaway. Its menu page is images only, so we could not read prices.
The order: Read the menu images on its site first; AGFG’s breakfast tag does not say which dishes count.
Zet & Zaatar Bakery (Mickleham: Merrifield) — 270 Donnybrook Rd, Mickleham VIC 3064
Zet & Zaatar Bakery is in Merrifield City, Mickleham. Its site describes a breakfast of freshly baked bread and free-range eggs your way, with vegetables, spiced meat or sujuk.
The site also lists manakeesh and barista coffee made with its signature Medici Blend. The centre directory lists 7:00 am – 4:00 pm daily. Its only online menu is for a different store, so we have no prices for this one.
The order: The baked breakfast spread, as the site describes it; confirm the store’s menu on arrival.
