About Filly & Fair

Filly & Fair is a specialty café located in Melbourne’s legal and corporate precinct around 600 Bourke Street. Catering primarily to office workers, legal professionals, and nearby visitors, the café serves high‑quality espresso coffee, house-made breakfast and lunch dishes, fresh salads, and grab‑and‑go items such as sandwiches, wraps, pastries, and snacks. Operated under the Ambient Food Group umbrella (ambientfoodgroup.com.au), Filly & Fair focuses on fast, friendly service for busy CBD customers, with a strong emphasis on consistent coffee, fresh produce, and convenience.

A Filly & Fair charge on your bank or card statement most commonly relates to an in‑store purchase of coffee, food, or takeaway items. Amounts may range from a few dollars for a single coffee or pastry to higher totals for multiple meals, shout rounds for colleagues, or larger catering/office orders. You might also see a charge after placing a phone or online order for office catering managed by Ambient Food Group, which may be processed under the Filly & Fair or related group name. In some cases, a small pending amount may appear briefly as an authorization when a contactless or chip payment is first processed.

If you’re unsure about a Filly & Fair charge, start by checking the date and amount against any visits you made to 600 Bourke Street or nearby offices, as well as any receipts, email confirmations, or calendar entries from that day. Review your bank statement descriptor for names like “Filly & Fair,” “Ambient Food Group,” or similar. To resolve questions, visit ambientfoodgroup.com.au for contact details or ask staff in-store during business hours; provide the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the sale. If the café cannot locate or explain the transaction, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute or investigate the charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I get a charge from Filly & Fair on my card?

Most Filly & Fair charges come from in‑person purchases at their café in Melbourne’s 600 Bourke Street legal precinct—typically coffee, breakfast, lunch, or grab‑and‑go items. Check whether you or a colleague used your card for a coffee run, lunch meeting, or office catering order on that date. If your workplace uses a shared or corporate card, confirm with your team or office manager who may have used the card at the café.

What typical amounts might I see from Filly & Fair on my statement?

Common small transactions are usually for single coffees or snacks (often in the range of a few to several Australian dollars), while larger totals may reflect multiple meals, coffee rounds, or catering orders that can run higher. If you see a Filly & Fair charge that’s larger than your usual coffee spend, consider whether it may have been a team shout, a working‑lunch order, or a bulk takeaway purchase for a meeting.

Does Filly & Fair offer subscriptions or recurring charges for coffee or meals?

Filly & Fair primarily operates as a pay‑as‑you‑go café and does not typically bill customers on a subscription basis like a streaming or software service. If you see recurring charges with similar amounts and dates, double‑check that they are not repeated in‑person purchases (for example, a regular weekly team coffee or lunch). Any formal catering or standing corporate orders would usually be arranged directly through Ambient Food Group and clearly communicated to the business account holder.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate Filly & Fair charge?

A small pending amount or what looks like a duplicate charge may be an authorization hold placed by your bank or payment processor when you tap or insert your card. This temporary hold is used to confirm your card is valid and should drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the final settled transaction. If a pending amount does not disappear or you’re charged twice for the same visit, contact your bank and optionally reach out to Filly & Fair with your receipt to help reconcile the issue.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a Filly & Fair purchase?

If you need a receipt or tax invoice, note the transaction date, exact amount, and last four digits of your card, then contact Filly & Fair or Ambient Food Group via the details on ambientfoodgroup.com.au or by visiting the café in person. For recent transactions, staff can often reprint an EFTPOS receipt or provide a simple invoice; for older purchases, they may need additional time to search their POS records. Corporate customers arranging catering should also check with their office manager or accounts team, who may already hold emailed invoices from Ambient Food Group.

How do I resolve a Filly & Fair charge I don’t recognize or believe is incorrect?

First, confirm that no one else with access to your card (family members, colleagues, or office staff for corporate cards) made a purchase at the café on the transaction date. If the charge still seems unfamiliar, contact Filly & Fair or Ambient Food Group with your transaction details and ask them to look it up. If they cannot locate a matching sale or you still believe the charge is unauthorized, immediately contact your bank or card issuer to report the transaction and initiate a dispute or chargeback investigation.

Can I get a refund if I was charged the wrong amount at Filly & Fair?

If you believe you were overcharged—for example, the amount on your statement doesn’t match your printed receipt—return to the café with your receipt or contact them using the information on ambientfoodgroup.com.au. In many cases, if an error is confirmed in their POS records, staff can process a refund or adjustment back to the original payment method. Refund timing depends on your bank but typically appears within a few business days once processed.

How can I contact Filly & Fair about a bank charge or billing question?

You can usually reach Filly & Fair by visiting the café at Melbourne’s 600 Bourke Street legal precinct during trading hours and speaking with a manager or supervisor. For more formal or after‑hours queries—especially about corporate or catering charges—go to ambientfoodgroup.com.au to find email and phone contact details for Ambient Food Group. When you contact them, provide the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can quickly locate the charge in their system.
