About Lil Bean

Lil Bean is a small, onsite café located in the main foyer of Gosford Private Hospital on Burrabil Avenue in North Gosford, New South Wales. The café is described by the hospital as a “healthy option café” serving coffee, cold drinks and light snacks to patients, visitors and staff, alongside vending machines on the second floor for after‑hours refreshments. Opening hours are set locally and posted at the café entrance, and there is no separate public website or online ordering; it operates like a traditional walk‑up hospital café within the Gosford Private Hospital campus.([gosfordprivate.com.au](https://gosfordprivate.com.au/patients/your-stay?utm_source=openai))

A Lil Bean charge on your bank or card statement will almost always relate to an in‑person purchase made at the café inside Gosford Private Hospital. Common transactions include hot coffees, teas, soft drinks, bottled water, grab‑and‑go snacks, and light meals such as sandwiches, pastries or cakes, typically as one‑off, low‑value payments in Australian dollars. You might see this charge if you were a patient, visited someone at Gosford Private Hospital, or paid for food or drinks while attending an appointment or procedure; receipts are usually issued at the counter, and the descriptor may appear as variations like “LIL BEAN GOSFORD,” “LIL BEAN CAFE GOSFORD PRIVATE,” or similar, depending on your card network.

If you have questions about a Lil Bean charge, first check whether you or a family member recently visited Gosford Private Hospital and bought coffee, drinks or snacks around the transaction date, and look for any paper receipts you may have kept. If you still can’t identify the purchase, you can ring Gosford Private Hospital’s main reception on +61 2 4324 7111 (ask to be transferred to the Lil Bean café or foyer café) to confirm the transaction or discuss a possible refund or correction.([gosfordprivate.com.au](https://gosfordprivate.com.au/about-us/contact-us?utm_source=openai)) Because this is an on‑premise café, most issues (incorrect amount charged, duplicate payment, or a mistaken tap) are resolved by speaking directly with café staff during their posted opening hours; if they cannot locate the payment or you suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and request a new card if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of purchases usually show up as a Lil Bean charge on my statement?

Lil Bean charges typically come from in‑person purchases of coffee, tea, soft drinks, bottled water, and light snacks such as pastries, muffins or simple café meals made in the foyer of Gosford Private Hospital in North Gosford, NSW. If you or someone using your card visited the hospital for an appointment, procedure or to see a patient, any food or drink bought at the foyer café may appear under a Lil Bean or “LIL BEAN GOSFORD” descriptor.

What amounts are typical for a Lil Bean café transaction?

Lil Bean is a hospital foyer café, so most charges are relatively small, usually the cost of one or more coffees, drinks and snack items in Australian dollars. Individual transactions are commonly in the low‑value range (for example, a few dollars for a drink up to a few tens of dollars for multiple items), but exact prices are set by the café and may change over time; if you need the precise amount for a specific visit, ask the café or hospital reception for a copy of the receipt.

Does Lil Bean offer subscriptions, accounts or recurring billing?

No—Lil Bean operates as a standard walk‑up café inside Gosford Private Hospital and does not advertise any subscription service, online membership or recurring billing program. Each charge should correspond to a specific in‑person purchase on a particular date; if you see repeated Lil Bean charges over several days, it’s likely from multiple separate visits or staff/relatives using the same card at the café, not from an automatic subscription.

Why do I see two Lil Bean charges on the same day or a slightly different amount than I expected?

Two Lil Bean charges on the same day usually mean there were two separate transactions—such as buying coffee in the morning and snacks later, or a second tap after a first payment didn’t go through. Small differences from the expected amount can come from adding extra items at the till, upgrading drink sizes, or a staff member correcting an earlier error by reversing and re‑processing the sale; if you’re unsure, note the exact times and amounts shown on your statement and ask the café or hospital reception to look them up in their till system.

How can I get a receipt or proof of purchase for a Lil Bean transaction?

Receipts are normally printed at the counter at the time of purchase, so first check bags, wallets or paperwork you had during your hospital visit. If you no longer have the receipt, contact Gosford Private Hospital’s main reception on +61 2 4324 7111 with the transaction date, approximate time and amount, and ask to be put through to the Lil Bean café or foyer café; staff can usually search their point‑of‑sale records and, if available, provide a reprinted or emailed receipt as proof of purchase.([gosfordprivate.com.au](https://gosfordprivate.com.au/about-us/contact-us?utm_source=openai))

How do I request a refund or fix an incorrect Lil Bean charge?

If you believe you were charged the wrong amount or tapped the wrong card at Lil Bean, it’s best to resolve it directly with the café. Visit the café in the Gosford Private Hospital foyer or call the hospital reception on +61 2 4324 7111 and ask for the café, then provide the date, time and amount of the transaction so staff can locate it and, if appropriate, process a refund or correction back to your card. If they cannot find the charge or you suspect your card details were misused, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report a disputed transaction.

Can Lil Bean place an authorization hold or pending charge on my card?

Most small café purchases at Lil Bean will post as final sales, but like any card terminal, your bank may briefly show them as “pending” before they fully settle. In some cases, a terminal or bank may place a small pre‑authorization to verify the card, especially for contactless or international cards; these holds normally fall away automatically and are replaced by the final settled amount within a few business days, and you’ll only pay the completed transaction value.

What should I do if I see a Lil Bean charge but have never been to Gosford, NSW or Gosford Private Hospital?

If you’ve never visited Gosford Private Hospital and no one with access to your card has been there on your behalf, a Lil Bean transaction on your statement could indicate your card details were compromised and used fraudulently. In that situation, do not wait for the café to investigate—contact your bank or card issuer right away to report the unauthorized charge, ask them to block or replace your card, and follow their dispute process; they may contact the café’s payment processor directly as part of their fraud investigation.
