OK, we need to talk! I've been a local in Fairfield for the past 11 months, and I can safely say that 15 Pounds is the best cafe in town. Coffee is exceptional, staff are very welcoming and provide impeccable service and the food is Devine, like seriously it's completely WOW! I would drive a long distance to come to 15 Pounds if I had to. All the best for 2017 Guys. :)
Beautiful people , great coffee ,excellent service , the food is absolutely amazing . And why would you want to alter the menu it all works so well together . Just a lovely place to be . The staff are some of the best I've ever encountered , perfect �
It's the truth that good coffee is never far away anywhere in Melbourne, and hubby and I have been enjoying our monthly brunch dates trying out different cafes near home. Fifteen Pounds is yet another winner for us, for good coffee and delicious food. It's very conveniently located next to Fairfield Station, on the quieter side of the rail tracks, and easy to locate. The interior is cozy and comfortable, and there are outdoor tables both out in front on the sidewalk and at the back. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options on the menu. This is definitely a place we will revisit frequently for our brunch dates.

Brunch and lunch is a regular family event and after some googling this morning I chose this place on the reviews. The first time I came it wasn't that great but more recently If oudn it much better. Congratulations team FIfteen Pounds. You've done well to weather the road / rail works and now good food as well.
The waiting staff were friendly and excellent at their job. Our orders for drinks taken and after they were served our food order taken.
The smashed avocado under the scrambled egg was nice and fresh. My sons burger though was very nice.
Wheelchair friendly at a pinch as it’s very tight with seating. Definitely kid friendly and in fact a great place for kids of all ages to dine. Parking is pretty good along Railway Place or the side streets although limited to one hour. Toilets clean.
Absolutely delicious! 😍
After seeing some great reviews and this cafe being local to us, we decided to give it a visit for brunch.
What can I say... the food was so delicious, especially the scrambled eggs. I got the Mexican burrito dish and already can’t wait to go back and get it again!
Definitely recommend this place - best cafe in Fairfield, and even the area we have been to!
I order the Wagyu Beef Burger with lettuce, tomato, caramelised onion, red capsicum and melted cheese all on a brioche bun. Hail Mary full of grace this burger is bloody great! It wasn't just that the beef was tender, generous in amount and juicy but the fact that every component was balanced. The brioche providing the sweetness and the red capsicum providing the middle ground between the bun and beef. To serve chips in a basket is not unique these days. However what I like is that it was used to complement the beautiful hand cut chips not be the point of difference. Fd: 9/10 | Cf: 4/5 | Srv: 8/10 @fifteenpoundscafe
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and you can get a table if you go at 10am on a Saturday!! Wide variety on the menu, quick service and you can split bills! Highly recommended.
Absolutely one of my favourite places in Fairfield. The food is very tasty and fresh and they have delicious fruit juices and yummy desert. Outstanding service and reasonable prices I recommend to go to there beautiful courtyard.
I ordered the apple waffles and came out with a nut crumble. This wasnt noted on the menu and I alerted the waitress. My meal was replaced and the girls were very attentive to my allergy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating ! Waffles were great :)
Decent quality and consistent food. The beef short rib burger here is good and the coffee always hits the spot. Only area suffering is service as the staff don’t really listen. I’ve visited here several times and they ALWAYS mess up my order or I have to ask several times for my coffee. I will be back though.
The best breakfast cafe mushrooms you will ever have are those lovingly made at fifteen pounds. Do yourself a favour and order extra mushrooms!!! You guys rock 🙌🏻
Definitely our go-to brunch spot close to home. Heaps of competition in the Northcote/Thornbury area but we keep coming back. The coffee is so good and the service is top notch and always consistent. We love sitting out the front with our dogs. Try the classic hash stack (with mushrooms and spinach), you wont be disappointed!
Edit - Love the classic hash stack but the Crispy Polenta is UNBELIEVABLE!
When your having a good day, the best service and over loaded with something hot and black inside you, this is the place. Awesome coffee and the food? I think you should visit and judge for yourself.
Wonderful little cafe great barista coffee & hearty brekky. Their coffee always hits the spot. They have ‘on the go’ Brekky options too if you are in the morning rush. If you need a sugar hit, their muffins & cookie selection won’t disappoint.
Nicely presented, well portioned and extremely delicious Monday morning brekkie! Good value for money and very attentive and kind service.
Their creation of smashed avo was new to me, there was a lot of salmon on the plate too and the matcha latte warmed me up.
Will be coming back!
Wonderful experience every time you walk in. All they staff are friendly and the food and coffee is always consistently good. It's an amazing achievement that the consistency has remained so high for so many years. john the owner is a passionate and super charming man and should be very proud of what he has achieved at fifteen pounds. Keep up the good work team
Lovely meal in delightful setting. Meal was delicious. My only concern is tables are very close together.
One of the best cafe in Melbourne, you can not imagine how good the services ls and how friendly the staff were. The drinks were perfect and tasty. We had an infant 3 M old. There were one of the staff named John he was playing , talking to our baby all the time and really he made our baby smile a lot☺️. I really enjoyed my time there. The indoor seats were great and they have outdoor and in back seats. I really love this place. Recommend and I’ll be back here for sure.
A few new staff, John has a well oiled machine. Vaccine passport required, masks optional.
This is one of my top 10 for coffee, the food is good, the coffee is good, the customer service is good. Damn - it is just a great place to go.
Enjoy the unique environment, dog friendly, bike friendly and ready for families or groups.
15 Pounds owner, John, is often seen serving or preparing food and drinks - a real hands on owner/operator.
Definitely a go to place.
Wow you guys! You are awesome! Everything here was on point - from the service, food, decor and venue. Promptly greeted on arrival with a smile and the smell of coffee! The place was packed and we were lucky to get in just as a table cleared! We were taken care of different servers at different points but all were lovely, accommodating and friendly. Plenty of selections from the menu and our server was patient and took my friend over the menu which helped with her indecisiveness. The Chai lattes here are yummy and so was my burger! Serious local vibes here and makes me want to explore cafes in the north more. Ample parking around the area and pup friendly too with an outdoor area! Will be back to visit again and thank you for a lovely experience!
