About BE.AN by Workshop Bros

BE.AN by Workshop Bros is a small specialty espresso bar in Melbourne’s CBD, operated by the well-known Workshop Brothers cafe group. They serve high-quality espresso-based coffees, filter brews, and a selection of light pastries and grab-and-go items aimed at city workers and commuters. As a bricks‑and‑mortar café, most transactions occur in person at the counter using EFTPOS, contactless cards, or mobile wallets, and charges may reference either “BE.AN,” “BE.AN by Workshop Bros,” or a variation of “Workshop Bros” on your bank statement.

A charge from BE.AN by Workshop Bros will almost always relate to an in-person purchase, such as a coffee, pastry, snack, or small food item. The amount may reflect a single order, multiple coffees for a group, or a takeaway breakfast or lunch-style purchase. In some cases, your bank may show a small temporary authorization when you tap or insert your card, especially with mobile wallets, which can look like a duplicate or pending charge until it settles to the final purchase amount. BE.AN does not typically offer recurring subscriptions, so you should expect one‑off charges rather than ongoing billing.

To verify a BE.AN by Workshop Bros charge, start by checking the date and amount against your recent visits to Melbourne’s CBD and any coffee or food purchases you made around that time. Look for receipts in your email or banking app if you used a mobile wallet, or paper receipts if you requested one at the café. If you still have questions, visit workshopbros.com.au and use the contact or location details provided there to get in touch with the team, providing the exact transaction date, time, and amount from your statement. Common issues—such as confusion over a split bill, a mistaken tap, or an unsettled authorization—are usually resolved quickly once the specific transaction is identified.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “BE.AN by Workshop Bros” or “WORKSHOP BROS” on my statement?

This charge typically comes from an in‑person purchase at the BE.AN espresso bar operated by Workshop Brothers in Melbourne’s CBD. It may appear under slightly different descriptors such as “BE.AN,” “BE.AN by Workshop Bros,” or a Workshop Bros location name, depending on your bank and their payment terminal setup. Check whether you recently bought coffee, pastries, or snacks in the Melbourne CBD around the transaction date.

What are the typical transaction amounts I might see from BE.AN by Workshop Bros?

Most charges are small, one‑off amounts that match café purchases, such as coffee, pastries, or light food items. You might see charges ranging from just a few dollars for a single coffee up to higher amounts if you paid for multiple drinks, food for a group, or takeaway items. If the total looks higher than expected, consider whether you covered someone else’s order or added extras like alternative milks or additional food items.

Does BE.AN by Workshop Bros offer subscriptions or recurring coffee payments?

BE.AN by Workshop Bros generally operates on a pay‑as‑you‑go basis for in‑store purchases, so you should not see automatic recurring subscription charges from them. If your statement shows repeated charges, they are usually separate visits on different days, for example daily or frequent coffee purchases. Review the dates of each charge—if they correspond to days you visited the CBD, they are likely legitimate individual transactions rather than a subscription.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate charge from BE.AN by Workshop Bros?

Some banks and card issuers place a temporary authorization when you tap or insert your card, which can appear as a pending or duplicate transaction until it settles. This is common with contactless and mobile wallet payments and should automatically adjust to the final sale amount within a few business days. If a pending amount does not drop off or you see two completed charges for the same visit, contact your bank and then reach out to Workshop Bros via workshopbros.com.au with your receipt details.

How can I get a receipt or tax invoice for a BE.AN by Workshop Bros purchase?

If you paid in person, you could request a printed receipt at the time of purchase from the café’s payment terminal. For past transactions where you no longer have the receipt, gather the date, approximate time, and exact amount from your bank statement and contact Workshop Brothers through the details listed on workshopbros.com.au. They may be able to locate the transaction in their system and provide a copy or summary for your records.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a BE.AN by Workshop Bros charge?

First, confirm whether anyone else with access to your card (such as a family member or colleague) visited Melbourne’s CBD and bought coffee or food around that date. If no one recognizes the purchase, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report the unrecognized charge and check for possible card misuse. You can also contact Workshop Bros via their website with the transaction details; while they cannot access your bank account, they may confirm whether a transaction with that amount and time occurred at BE.AN.

Can I get a refund or correction if I was charged the wrong amount at BE.AN by Workshop Bros?

If you believe you were overcharged or billed in error, keep any receipts you received and note the exact amount shown on your bank statement. Visit or call the café if you are local, or use the contact information at workshopbros.com.au to reach the Workshop Brothers team and explain the issue. In many cases, they can review the transaction in their point‑of‑sale system and issue a refund or adjustment if a mistake is confirmed.

Why does the merchant location say Melbourne or a terminal ID instead of BE.AN by Workshop Bros?

Some banks display only a generic merchant location, city, or terminal ID instead of the full café name. Since BE.AN is located in Melbourne’s CBD, your statement might list just “Melbourne VIC” or a Workshop Bros merchant ID rather than the specific BE.AN name. Cross‑check the date and amount with any CBD visits and coffee purchases to confirm it matches your activity.
