Off the beaten track in the foodie suburb of Camberwell you’ll find coffee focused cafe and pizzeria Coffee Head. Unsassuming from the outside this restaurant definitely has it’s own unique personality on display with an eclectic array of artwork and retro posters, recycled furniture and a foosball table. Previously a warehouse space, there is loads of inside seating and the ability to cater for large groups & parents with prams, plus seating outside in the puppy friendly courtyard.
The House Brew, 1961 is roasted on site. We had several cups and can verify the coffee is smooth and creamy – some of the best in Melbourne IMO. It really makes a difference to your coffee experience when a cafe knows their stuff.
The all day menu has some solid breakfast dishes plus lunch options and a range of wood fired pizzas. They offer GF Vegan and Dairy free options and will do their best to cater for dietaries.
On Friday’s after 5pm Coffee head open as an evening pizza bar with craft beer, wine and cocktails.
What we had…
Salmon Benedict (GF) 18 – carrot and mint hashbrown, wilted spinach, poached eggs, green hollandaise (option ham/bacon)
This is such a pretty dish, two crispy hash patties with plump poaches and rich pink salmon, topped with a gorgeous green spinach hollandaise. All my favourite brunch things on one plate, so I couldn’t go past this dish. The hash was delish, crispy on the outside and just the right level of firmness. The hollandaise was nice and buttery and not too overpowering. I’d totally order this again.
Oi Oi Oi Burger 18 – grilled ground beef, beetroot, tomato, melted cheese, mustard aioli, onion rings, beer battered chips. (option to add fried egg or bacon)
We had our burger with the lot (obviously). It was a very impressive stack that was delivered to our table – a fresh toasted golden bun stuffed with a hand made juicy patty, fried egg, salad and bacon, topped with a stack of golden onion rings – what a feast! The burger patty itself was really tasty and you could tell the high quality of the beef. Everything was fresh and brightly coloured and made with love. Good quality onion rings too – not too oily and just lightly battered. The fries were our fave THICC kind, golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.
Final thoughts…
The menu really has something for everyone with a comprehensive range of different dishes. The coffee is seriously good, but there’s a nice selection of alternatives including iced drinks, teas, smoothies and juices, plus wine, beer and cider. We’re looking forward to coming back on a Friday night to sample the pizzas and yummy looking cocktails.

CoffeeHead, a long-standing Camberwell favourite, has recently expanded into the dinner trade. It operates as PizzaHead on Friday nights with a larger range of pizzas and pasta compared to its usual daytime offering, and live entertainment to boot.
Driving up to coffeehead I was a little bit worried by the aged exterior but as I walked inside the place was modern and very funky with great art pieces! It had a couple of hits and misses for me. Pepperoni pizza was incredible, perfectly cooked and spicy. The pasta lacked a lot of flavour and wish it packed more of a seafood punch.
Fantastic place for the whole family. Pizzas are amazing and they have a huge variety in their main meals which all look delicious. Staff are professional and polite. Great place and convenient location
Went to 1961 Coffee by Coffeehead on Saturday around 1pm. Nice little hidden gem in Camberwell and it is a short walking distance from the Woolies. Overall great experience.
Coffee: 3.5/5
Fog Horn leg Horn pizza: 4.5/5
Baked egg: 4/5
We reached out to 1961 Coffeehead for some catering for a large group of people at late notice. Ash and team were helpful and accommodating in organising a menu for us and putting it together on the day. Amazing food and plenty of variety drew lots of compliments from our team - particular standouts were the Thai red curry and the chicken. Generous portions meant everyone went for seconds (some even thirds), and it was all affordable and easy to organise. Would definitely return! Thanks everyone
First time back after a while - very impressed with the food and coffee. Only slight downside was a reasonably long wait for the food even though it was quiet. Kids enjoyed their spag bol and the pulled lamb special was relish. Will be keen to try their Friday night dinners.
Unbelievably great service. So humanly friendly, the way the world should be. Food has always been great, and staff usually go above and beyond.
플랫화이트, 마차라떼, 플랑밍고주스, 마가리타 피자, 칩스를 주문했음....마차는 made in heaven까지는 아니구 다른 데보다 달지 않고 적당히 진해서 괜찮고 플랫화이트는 정말 맛있음! 옆에 로스팅하는 작업실도 크게 있고 커피빈도 팔고 있어 분위기가 더 맛있게 느껴짐. 까페 자체도 미국 영화에 등장하는 낡은 다이너같이 빈티지한 느낌이 좋다~
Best staff around town, a handful of gems, perfect to hang out here with a mad hangover
Coffee+ food = goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood anakin
Amazing manager, A+++
My fiancee and I have eaten here a couple times. Pizza here was pretty good, but the standout dish was easiy the gnocchi. I'm not normally a gnocchi fan, but if it tasted like this every time, I would be.

Coffeehead is a spacious cafe and coffee roaster located close to Camberwell station. The site has been converted from a former warehouse and has an eclectic and retro vibe, with cool touches such as a foosball soccer table.
Visiting for weekend brunch on a warm day we opted to sit inside and ordered the toasted brioche and salmon benny along with the Mel & berry smoothie and an iced latte to drink. Everything came out beautifully presented.
Had it not been so hot I would have opted for a hot coffee. This specialty roaster serves three blends and a single origin coffee with beans available to purchase.
I highly enjoyed the brioche. The thickly cut brioche was topped with Serrano ham, grilled asparagus, poached eggs, hollandaise and gremolata and was served with grilled apple. The eggs were perfectly poached and the brioche nicely soaked up the hollandaise and egg. The flavours worked together beautifully and I liked the touch of sweetness from the grilled apple.
My friend had the salmon benny. Served with a carrot and mint hashbrown this dish offers a unique take on a classic. My friend found the flavours interesting although it was a bit salty for her liking. The smoothie and the iced latte were very refreshing for a hot day.
In addition to the breakfast and lunch menu, woodfire pizza is now available from Friday through to Sunday.
Overall I had a lovely experience at Coffeehead, I liked the cool vibe, friendly team and the interesting menu. Overall I rate Coffeehead ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.
Baked eggs with chai 😋 I am very fussy about my chai so it has to be leaf and spicy. This wet chai mix was perfect. The baked eggs were great too, ideal for a cold day. Just enough egg, sauce and chorizo and the sourdough with butter was crunchy, spot on coffee head !
Offering onsite roasted coffee that never disappoints, free wifi, owners who are delight to chat to, and a menu you‘ll return multiple times to work through this place has quickly become a trusted haunt. All day brekkie, wood fire pizza menu, happy hour, a laid back vibe, foosball, indoor/outdoor eating, and available for functions. If you haven’t tried it yet you really should.
What a fabulous find. Delicious coffee and food but somehow even above the great produce on offer the service. Warm and inviting, helpful and genuine: will always recommend.
Love this place!! Coffee is absolutely top notch and the food is no different. The morroccan vegie bowl was to die for, I switched the chickpeas for avocado which was delish! Perfect healthy meal for my Sunday hangover!
Best wood fired pizza in Camberwell! 🍕 Super friendly staff who also make a great cocktail 🍸
Good service. Massive place. We had a matcha omelette, pretty interesting. Big breakfast is so so. Coffee is good. Will be keen to try the other brekkie options next time.
