About Brew & Brew Café and Bar

Brew & Brew Café and Bar is a locally owned specialty coffee venue based in Canberra, ACT, with multiple espresso bar and café locations across the city. They focus on high‑quality espresso and filter coffee, plus a rotating selection of single‑origin beans from Australian and international roasters. Alongside coffee, Brew & Brew serves breakfast and lunch dishes, light meals, pastries, cakes, and an evening bar offering that may include wine, craft beers, and simple cocktails, depending on the location and time of day. More information about menus, opening hours, and locations is available at thebrewandbrew.com.au.

A charge from “Brew & Brew Café and Bar,” “Brew & Brew,” or a similar descriptor may appear on your bank statement when you pay in‑store for coffee, food, or drinks using a debit or credit card. Charges can include one‑off café purchases, bar tabs that are closed out at the end of your visit, split bills, or tips added at the terminal. In some cases, you might see a small temporary “pending” amount if the café placed a pre‑authorisation for a bar tab or for contactless payments that are later adjusted to the final total.

If you don’t recognise a Brew & Brew Café and Bar charge, first confirm whether you or anyone with access to your card recently visited one of their Canberra locations, or ordered food or drinks there. Check your email or banking app for receipts or notifications from around the transaction date, and compare the amount with typical café or bar purchases. For further clarification, you can contact the venue via the contact form or details listed at thebrewandbrew.com.au; providing the exact transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card will help them look up the charge. If you still believe the transaction is incorrect or fraudulent, contact your bank or card provider to dispute the charge or request a card replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Brew & Brew Café and Bar on my statement?

This charge usually comes from paying for coffee, food, or drinks at one of Brew & Brew’s Canberra café or bar locations. It may represent a single transaction, a closed bar tab, or a split bill where your card covered part of the total. If you shared a card with a family member or colleague, confirm whether they visited Brew & Brew around that date.

What are typical amounts I might be charged by Brew & Brew Café and Bar?

Common charges range from about AUD $5–$10 for a single coffee and pastry, $15–$30 for a meal with a drink, and higher amounts (e.g., $40–$120) when food and multiple drinks or a bar tab are involved. You might also see non‑round amounts where card surcharges (if applied) or tips were added at the terminal. Always compare the statement amount with what you remember ordering.

Why is there a small pending or duplicate charge from Brew & Brew on my card?

You may see a temporary pending charge or small pre‑authorisation if a bar tab was opened or if the terminal verified your card before finalising the payment. The initial authorisation may differ slightly from the final settled amount once tips or adjustments are applied. These pending entries are normally reversed automatically within a few business days and will not result in duplicate billing.

Can I set up or cancel a tab at Brew & Brew Café and Bar, and how is it billed?

Some Brew & Brew locations allow you to open a bar or café tab by leaving your card behind the bar or authorising it once on the terminal. The final total, including any additional drinks or food, is charged to your card when you close the tab or when the venue closes. If you believe your tab total is incorrect, contact the venue directly as soon as possible with your receipt and transaction details.

How can I get a receipt or tax invoice for a Brew & Brew Café and Bar purchase?

If you didn’t receive a printed receipt at the time of purchase, you can visit the location you were charged at and ask for a reprinted receipt on the same day, if possible. For older transactions, use the contact details or form on thebrewandbrew.com.au and include the date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can try to locate the transaction and issue a tax invoice.

How do I resolve a charge from Brew & Brew that I believe is incorrect?

Start by comparing the amount on your statement with any receipts, bank alerts, or your calendar (e.g., a brunch or after‑work drinks you may have forgotten). If the amount still seems wrong, contact Brew & Brew via the contact information on thebrewandbrew.com.au, providing the transaction date, amount, and card details (last four digits only). If you and the venue can’t resolve the issue or you suspect fraud, contact your bank to dispute the transaction.

Does Brew & Brew Café and Bar offer subscriptions, memberships, or pre‑paid cards that might create recurring charges?

Brew & Brew primarily processes in‑person, one‑off transactions for coffee, food, and drinks, so recurring charges are uncommon. However, if your local venue offers any coffee cards, event packages, or catering deposits, those may appear as larger or occasional charges. If you see recurring monthly or weekly Brew & Brew charges you don’t understand, contact the venue or your bank to confirm whether an arrangement or stored card authorisation exists.

How can I contact Brew & Brew Café and Bar about a mystery charge?

Visit thebrewandbrew.com.au and use the listed contact details or online form, selecting the relevant location if there are multiple cafés. Provide a clear description of the issue along with the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can investigate. For urgent or suspicious activity, contact your bank in parallel to secure your account while the venue reviews the transaction.
