About Cocoa Shrimp

Based on the descriptor and the use of Toast (TST*) as a payment processor, Cocoa Shrimp appears to be a local restaurant or food vendor that focuses on shrimp and other seafood items, possibly with a specialty preparation or signature “cocoa” or coconut-style shrimp dish. Small independent eateries using Toast often operate as casual dine‑in, takeout, or food‑truck style concepts, with a limited but focused menu centered around one or two star items.

A charge from Cocoa Shrimp would most commonly appear on your card statement after you’ve paid for a meal, takeout order, or possibly an online or app‑based order processed through Toast. The amount will typically match your receipt total including tax and tip. In some cases you might briefly see a small pending authorization or a pre‑tip amount that later adjusts when the final tip is entered and the transaction is captured.

If you have questions about this charge, start by checking any recent restaurant visits or food orders around the transaction date, including Toast e‑receipts in your email or text messages. If the business provided a printed or digital receipt, compare the total and date to your statement. To dispute or clarify a charge, you can usually contact the restaurant directly via the phone number or website listed on your receipt or Toast order confirmation; if you can’t reach them or don’t recognize the transaction after checking with family members who may use the card, contact your card issuer to inquire or file a dispute. Because this appears to be a small local business, resolving issues is often fastest by speaking directly with the merchant during their normal business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Cocoa Shrimp on my card statement?

A Cocoa Shrimp charge typically appears when you’ve paid for food at their location or placed a takeout or online order processed through Toast. The final amount should match the total on your receipt, including any tax and tip you authorized.

Does Cocoa Shrimp use Toast or another third‑party system to process payments?

Yes. The descriptor starts with “TST*”, which indicates Toast is the payment processor. The actual merchant is Cocoa Shrimp, and Toast simply handles the card transaction on their behalf.

Can Cocoa Shrimp place temporary holds or pending charges on my card?

Like many restaurants using modern POS systems, Cocoa Shrimp’s processor may place a temporary authorization for the pre‑tip amount, which is later adjusted to the final total after you add a tip. The initial pending amount should drop off within a few days, leaving only the final settled charge.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from Cocoa Shrimp to verify this charge?

If you opted for a digital receipt at checkout, search your email or text messages for a Toast or Cocoa Shrimp receipt around the transaction date. Otherwise, you can contact the restaurant directly during business hours and provide the charge date and amount so they can look up and reissue a receipt if possible.

How do I request a refund or correction for a mistaken Cocoa Shrimp charge?

First, contact Cocoa Shrimp directly, explain the issue, and provide details such as the transaction date, amount, and the last four digits of your card. Small restaurants can usually issue a partial or full refund through Toast if an item was charged incorrectly or ordered in error. If the issue cannot be resolved with the merchant, reach out to your card issuer to start a dispute.

Could someone else in my household have made a purchase at Cocoa Shrimp?

Yes. Restaurant charges frequently come from family members using a shared card for meals or takeout. Before assuming fraud, check with anyone who has access to the card to see if they visited Cocoa Shrimp or ordered food near the transaction date.

Does Cocoa Shrimp offer any recurring subscriptions or memberships that could explain repeated charges?

Most small restaurants do not run recurring subscriptions; their charges are usually one‑time transactions for specific visits or orders. If you see repeating charges labeled Cocoa Shrimp, review your receipts and contact the business to confirm that these are separate visits or orders rather than a subscription.
