Coffee Anthology is a specialty coffee café in Brisbane’s CBD known for showcasing multiple Australian and international roasters and serving high‑quality espresso and filter coffee alongside light brunch fare.
Coffee Anthology is a specialty coffee café located in Brisbane’s CBD, known for its focus on high‑end espresso and filter coffee. They regularly feature beans from leading Australian and international roasters and often rotate their coffee menu to highlight different origins and processing methods. In addition to coffee, they typically offer light brunch dishes, pastries, and retail coffee beans and brewing gear for home. The business operates primarily as an in‑person café, with a modern, specialty‑coffee bar experience.
A Coffee Anthology charge will usually appear on your bank or card statement after purchasing coffee, food, or retail coffee beans at their Brisbane City location. Depending on their payment system, the descriptor may read “COFFEE ANTHOLOGY,” “COFFEE ANTHOLOGY BRISBANE,” or similar. Most charges are one‑time transactions for in‑store orders, but you might also see a charge if you purchased takeaway via a card-on-file, ordered beans or merchandise for pickup, or paid through a connected ordering/delivery platform that passes the café name onto your statement. Some banks also show small temporary authorization holds when your card is first tapped or inserted, which can look like an extra charge until it drops off.
If you’re unsure about a Coffee Anthology charge, start by checking your receipts, recent café visits in Brisbane CBD, and any food delivery or coffee-ordering apps you use. Compare the transaction date and amount with when you may have bought coffee, brunch, or beans; remember that tips or surcharges (such as weekend or card surcharges) may slightly increase the total. For clarification, you can contact Coffee Anthology via their Facebook page at facebook.com/coffeeanthology or by visiting the café and speaking with staff, who can usually look up a transaction by date, time, and last four digits of your card. If the transaction still doesn’t look familiar, contact your bank to dispute or block the card while they investigate potential card misuse.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Coffee Anthology.
Why do I see a Coffee Anthology charge on my statement when I only remember buying a coffee?
Coffee Anthology processes card payments for everything ordered in a single transaction, so the amount on your statement will include all items (coffee, food, beans, and any surcharges or tips). For example, a single espresso and a light brunch dish can easily total AUD $15–$30, especially if you added an extra shot, alternate milk, or a pastry. Review your receipt or think back to whether you ordered food, an extra coffee, or retail beans along with your drink.
What are typical amounts for a Coffee Anthology transaction?
Common Coffee Anthology charges for drinks alone are often in the AUD $5–$10 range per coffee, depending on size, milk choice, and any extras. A light brunch or food item with coffee frequently totals around AUD $15–$35. If you purchased retail beans or brewing gear, your charge may be higher—bags of specialty beans can commonly range from about AUD $18–$30 or more, depending on the roaster and size.
Does Coffee Anthology offer subscriptions or recurring billing for coffee?
Coffee Anthology primarily operates as a walk‑in café, so most charges are one‑off transactions for in‑store purchases. If you see repeated charges, they are usually separate visits or orders rather than an automatic subscription. If you’ve arranged any ongoing bean orders or pre-paid arrangements directly with the café or through a partner service, check that platform or speak with staff to confirm whether you have a recurring order set up.
Why do I see a small or duplicate Coffee Anthology amount as ‘pending’?
Some payment terminals or banks place a temporary authorization hold to verify your card when you pay at Coffee Anthology. This can appear as a small or duplicate ‘pending’ charge near the time of your actual purchase. These authorizations are not final sales and typically disappear or adjust to the correct final amount within a few business days; if they don’t, contact your bank and show them your final receipt from the café.
How can I get a copy of my receipt or check what was included in the Coffee Anthology charge?
If you paid in person and opted for an email or paper receipt, start by checking your email inbox or any physical receipts you kept. If you no longer have the receipt, visit the café or message them via facebook.com/coffeeanthology with the date, approximate time, total amount, and last four digits of your card; staff may be able to locate the transaction in their POS system. Your bank statement alone will not list individual items, so you’ll need the café’s help to see a line‑item breakdown.
How do I query, dispute, or request a refund for a Coffee Anthology charge?
For issues like being charged twice, incorrect amounts, or an item charged in error, contact Coffee Anthology directly as soon as possible—either by visiting the café or sending a message through their Facebook page with transaction details. The staff can usually check their records and, if warranted, process a correction or refund back to the original payment method. If you suspect the transaction is fraudulent or the card was not in your possession, notify your bank immediately so they can block the card and start a formal dispute.
Can I cancel or change an order once I’ve paid at Coffee Anthology?
Because Coffee Anthology is a café environment, drinks and food are typically prepared immediately after you pay, so cancellations or changes are best requested right away at the counter. If your order hasn’t been started, staff may be able to adjust it or refund the transaction. For any pre‑paid orders through a delivery or ordering app, you’ll usually need to follow that platform’s cancellation and refund policies.
Why does my Coffee Anthology charge include a weekend or card surcharge?
Many Australian cafés, including specialty venues, may apply small surcharges on weekends, public holidays, or for certain card types to cover higher operating costs and processing fees. These surcharges are generally disclosed on menus, at the counter, or on receipts and are added to the final total you see on your statement. If the amount seems slightly higher than the menu prices you recall, check whether your visit was on a weekend/holiday or whether a card surcharge was applied.
