About Blacksmith

Blacksmith is a specialty coffee shop and casual eatery located in Surry Hills, Sydney, known for its industrial-style interior, friendly service, and relaxed neighborhood vibe. They serve specialty coffee made with Toby’s Estate beans, alongside house‑baked pastries, cakes, and an all‑day brunch menu featuring items like eggs, bowls, burgers, and seasonal specials. As a dine‑in and takeaway venue, Blacksmith caters to locals, office workers, and visitors, and typically processes payments at the counter using EFTPOS terminals and common card providers.

A Blacksmith charge may appear on your bank or card statement if you’ve purchased coffee, food, or baked goods in‑store, either for dine‑in or takeaway. On statements, it may show as variations like “BLACKSMITH SURRY HILLS,” “BLACKSMITH CAFE SURRY HILLS,” or similar wording. They generally do not run recurring subscriptions, but you might see multiple charges on the same day for split bills or separate visits, and a temporary authorization may appear if a card was pre‑authorized for a tab or large group booking. Public holiday surcharges or weekend surcharges may also slightly change the final amount compared with menu prices.

If you’re unsure about a Blacksmith charge, first check your recent visit history, receipts, and any bank notifications or wallet app records from the date of the transaction. Compare the transaction date and amount with when you might have purchased coffee or brunch there, or when someone else on your shared account may have visited. For questions, you can contact the cafe directly using the details on blacksmithsurryhills.com.au, call during business hours, or visit in person with your bank statement so staff can look up the transaction on their POS. If you still believe the charge is incorrect, your bank or card issuer can help you dispute or investigate it further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “BLACKSMITH SURRY HILLS” on my bank statement?

This charge usually comes from an in‑person purchase at Blacksmith in Surry Hills, such as coffee, food, or baked goods. The descriptor on your statement may appear as “BLACKSMITH SURRY HILLS,” “BLACKSMITH CAFE SURRYHILLS NSW,” or similar. Check if you or someone with access to your card visited the cafe on or around the transaction date.

What are the typical amounts I might be charged by Blacksmith?

Common transaction amounts range from about AUD $5–$8 for a single coffee, around $8–$12 for a pastry or snack with a drink, and $20–$35 per person for a full brunch with coffee. Larger totals (e.g., $60–$150+) are often from group breakfasts or multiple meals on one bill. Public holiday or weekend surcharges, if applied, may slightly increase the total compared with menu prices.

Does Blacksmith run any subscriptions or recurring charges?

Blacksmith operates as a cafe and does not typically offer subscription services or automatic recurring billing. If you see multiple Blacksmith charges over a period of days or weeks, these are usually separate visits or purchases. If a recurring pattern looks unfamiliar, ask household members who may use the same card, then contact the cafe or your bank if it still appears unauthorized.

Why do I see two similar Blacksmith charges on the same day?

Two same‑day charges are often caused by split payments (for example, paying once for drinks and again for food), or when each person in a group pays separately using the same card. It can also happen if an initial transaction was cancelled and re‑processed at the terminal. Check your receipts and tap‑to‑pay records; if one charge looks like a duplicate, contact Blacksmith with the date, time, and amount so they can review it.

Can Blacksmith place an authorization hold or a temporary charge on my card?

In general, most purchases at Blacksmith are processed as immediate sales, not ongoing holds. However, certain POS setups or large group bookings may briefly show as an authorization before settling to the final amount, especially with some credit cards or digital wallets. Any temporary pre‑authorization that doesn’t finalize should automatically disappear from your pending transactions within a few business days.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Blacksmith?

If you paid by card, staff can usually reprint or email a receipt on request, provided you can give the approximate date, time, total amount, and last four digits of the card used. Your bank statement or digital wallet history can help pinpoint the transaction. Contact the cafe using the details on blacksmithsurryhills.com.au or visit in person during business hours with your transaction information.

How do I request a refund or dispute a charge from Blacksmith?

First, contact Blacksmith directly and provide the transaction date, amount, and any receipt you have so they can look up the payment in their system. If an overcharge, double charge, or error is confirmed, they can usually process a refund back to the original card. Refunds may take a few business days to appear on your statement. If you can’t resolve the issue with the cafe, contact your bank or card issuer to begin a formal dispute.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Blacksmith charge at all?

Start by checking with anyone who has access to your card or shared account to see if they visited Blacksmith in Surry Hills around that date. Review your emails, calendar, and map history to confirm whether you were in the area. If no one recognizes the transaction, contact Blacksmith with the exact statement description and amount; then, if it still appears suspicious, immediately report it to your bank or card issuer to investigate potential fraud or card compromise.
