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.
This page answers where to find coffee in and around Kalkallo, and the honest answer is a short list: four places, none inside Kalkallo itself. They are Shared Cup Cafe in Donnybrook, Degani and Highlands Hotel in Craigieburn, and Zet & Zaatar Bakery at Merrifield in Mickleham.
We checked each one against at least two sources and report only what those pages say. Degani’s site and Zet & Zaatar’s site carry a coffee line. We could not find one on the pages we read for Shared Cup Cafe or Highlands Hotel, so those two are here for the room and the menu rather than the beans.
A roaster is named only where a venue prints one, and a price appears only where we could read it.

Shared Cup Cafe — 995 Donnybrook Road, Donnybrook VIC 3064
Shared Cup Cafe describes itself as a not-for-profit social enterprise run by We Love Olivine Ltd. Its site lists hours of Monday - Thursday 8am - 3pm, Friday 8am - 5pm, Saturday & Sunday 8am - 4pm. We could not find a coffee line or roaster name on the pages we read, and the winter menu is an image with no readable prices. Its Pizza Night page lists build-your-own pizza at $8 per pizza, dine-in only, so check the booking page for dates.
On the menu (copied from sharedcup.com.au/pizza-night on 5 October 2026):
- Pizza at Olivine Community Pizza Night (dine-in only; Saturday October 17th 2026 and Saturday November 21st 2026): $8
The order: AGFG tags Shared Cup Cafe with vegan and gluten-free options, so ask about those when you plan a visit.
Degani (Craigieburn, Stockland Highlands) — Stockland Highlands Shopping Centre, Shop 20, 300 Grand Blvd, Craigieburn VIC 3064
Degani’s Craigieburn page is titled Coffee & Breakfast. Its site says its blends and single origin coffees are Bronze medal winners at the Australian Golden Bean Competition, and that meals and pastries are available all day, though those statements are brand-wide rather than about this branch. The site lists Sunday to Wednesday 8:00am – 8:00pm and Thursday to Saturday 8:00am – 9:00pm. We could not read menu prices, which sit behind an ordering app.
Go for: the coffee, where Degani’s site says its blends and single origin coffees won Bronze at the Australian Golden Bean Competition.
Zet & Zaatar Bakery (Mickleham: Merrifield) — 270 Donnybrook Rd, Mickleham VIC 3064
Zet & Zaatar’s Merrifield store is listed in the Merrifield City directory as open every day, 7:00 am – 4:00 pm. Its site lists barista coffee crafted with its signature Medici Blend, alongside manakeesh (topped with za’atar, cheese or your favourite fillings, as the site puts it) and a breakfast of freshly baked bread with eggs. The only menu we found is titled for a different store, so we have no Mickleham prices to print.
Roaster: the site names Medici Blend for its barista coffee, and we could not find a roaster named beyond that.
Highlands Hotel (International Buffet) — 301 Grand Boulevard (cnr Aitken & Grand Blvds), Craigieburn VIC 3064
Highlands Hotel’s site pitches all you can eat buffet dining with an internationally inspired seasonal menu, and an indoor and alfresco seating area. We could not find a coffee line on the pages we read, so this is the entry for a sit-down session rather than a cafe run. Its sessions page prints buffet lunch Monday to Friday for adults at $36.90 and for seniors at $27.90.
On the menu (copied from highlandshotel.com.au/sessions-prices on 5 October 2026):
- Buffet lunch Monday to Friday, Adults: $36.90
- Buffet lunch Monday to Friday, Children 3-6 Years: $12.90
- Buffet lunch Monday to Friday, Seniors: $27.90
- Buffet dinner Monday to Thursday, Adults: $41.90
Laptop policy: we could not find a published wifi or laptop policy for Highlands Hotel, so ask before you plan to work there.
