Correction (10 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 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Fifteen dollars is a real budget when you read the price board, not the menu headline. Five places made this page, and every price in the lists below is under fifteen dollars, exactly as the venue printed it.
One of the five is in Kilsyth: Allan’s Cakes & Bakery. Three are in Croydon and one is in Croydon South, so this is a page for “in and around Kilsyth”. Each heading carries the shop’s own suburb.
Each entry gives a price line, a one-line explainer for anything you might not know, and one move. Hours appear only where the venue’s own site lists them.

Allan’s Cakes & Bakery — 520 Mount Dandenong Road, Kilsyth VIC 3137
The Australian Good Food Guide lists the bakery at “Shop 1 & 2, 520 Mount Dandenong Road, Kilsyth”, and tags it “Takeaway” and “Breakfast”. Those are AGFG listing features. The bakery’s own site lists Monday to Friday 6:30am - 5:30pm, Saturday 7am - 5pm and Sunday 7am - 4pm.
The board runs from pizza rolls at $5.50 to a French baguette (340g) at $5.00. An epi baguette is a loaf cut into a wheat-ear shape so you can tear it into pieces, and the site prints it at $8.50. Sourdough Light Rye is $8.50.
On the menu (copied from allanscakes.com.au on 9 October 2026):
- Pizza Rolls - Hawaiian - Supreme: $5.50
- Sourdough Light Rye: $8.50

The site we read carries no date, so treat the prices and hours as unconfirmed for today and ring before you go.

- SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE: $10.00
- LASAGNA: $10.00

Baklava is layered filo pastry with nuts and syrup, and the menu prints four pieces for $7.00. The site lists Tuesday as closed and Monday as 11:30 am–9:00 pm.

Flake is the Victorian name for shark fillet, and gummy is the species most often sold under it. We did not record opening hours for Rana’s, so check the ordering page before you go.
