About Lil'Bean Coffee Shop

Lil'Bean Coffee Shop is a small, independent café located in North Gosford, New South Wales, Australia. It specialises in espresso-based coffee drinks, along with light breakfasts, toasties, and a rotating selection of baked goods for both dine-in and takeaway customers. As a local business, Lil'Bean focuses on casual, everyday purchases—things like flat whites, cappuccinos, iced coffees, banana bread, and simple breakfast items—rather than complex online services or subscriptions. Their latest menu, opening hours, and announcements are typically shared via their Facebook page at facebook.com/lilbeancoffeeshop.

A charge from Lil'Bean Coffee Shop usually appears on your bank or card statement after you buy coffee, food, or snacks in-store using EFTPOS, debit, or credit card. The descriptor may look like “LIL BEAN COFFEE SHOP,” “LILBEAN COFFEE NTH GOSFORD,” or a similar variation including “GOSFORD” or “NSW.” Most charges are small, one-time amounts that match the cost of individual drinks or meal combos (often in the range of a few to several Australian dollars). You might also see multiple small charges on the same day if you made separate visits, a tip was added, or if a pending authorization was adjusted to the final amount.

If you’re unsure about a Lil'Bean Coffee Shop charge, start by checking your receipts, recent visits to North Gosford, or whether a family member used your card there. Compare the date and amount on your statement to any café visits you remember (morning coffee runs, weekend breakfasts, or takeaway on your commute). To clarify a specific transaction, you can contact the café directly by visiting in person during opening hours or sending them a message via their Facebook page. If a payment looks incorrect—such as a duplicate transaction or wrong amount—speak first with the café so they can check their point-of-sale records; if it can’t be resolved, your bank or card provider can help you dispute the charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a small charge from Lil'Bean Coffee Shop on my statement?

Lil'Bean Coffee Shop charges typically come from in-store purchases of coffee, toasties, or baked goods in North Gosford, NSW. These are usually small, one-time amounts that match what you ordered at the counter, such as a coffee and a snack. Check whether you or someone in your household visited a local café in North Gosford around the date of the transaction.

What are common amounts I might be charged by Lil'Bean Coffee Shop?

Common Lil'Bean Coffee Shop charges often reflect individual items like coffees and simple meals, typically ranging from about AUD $4–$8 for drinks and AUD $6–$15 for light breakfasts, toasties, or combos. Your total may be higher if you purchased multiple items, ordered for several people, or added extras such as alternative milks or extra shots. Always compare the statement amount with any receipt you received at the café.

Does Lil'Bean Coffee Shop run subscriptions or recurring payments?

Lil'Bean Coffee Shop primarily operates as a walk-in café and does not typically offer online subscriptions or automated recurring billing. If you see multiple charges over days or weeks, they are usually separate in-store visits rather than a subscription. If you suspect a recurring pattern you don’t recognise, contact the café or your bank to review those transactions.

Can Lil'Bean Coffee Shop place authorization holds or pending charges on my card?

Like most card terminals, Lil'Bean Coffee Shop’s payment system may briefly show a pending or authorized amount on your account before it is finalised. This can happen if the terminal initially pre-authorises your card and then adjusts to the exact purchase total. These authorizations should resolve within a few business days, leaving only the final sale amount on your statement.

How do I get a copy of a receipt for a Lil'Bean Coffee Shop charge?

If you need a receipt for a past purchase, you can visit Lil'Bean Coffee Shop in person and provide the date, approximate time, and exact amount of the charge so staff can search their point-of-sale records. You can also reach out via facebook.com/lilbeancoffeeshop with the same details and a photo or screenshot of the transaction from your statement (with card numbers obscured). They can usually confirm the purchase details or reissue a receipt if it’s still in their system.

What should I do if I think I was overcharged or charged twice by Lil'Bean Coffee Shop?

First, compare your bank statement with any receipts you have and check the dates and times of the charges; sometimes a second visit on the same day can look like a duplicate. If you still believe there’s an error, contact Lil'Bean Coffee Shop directly—either by visiting the café or messaging them on Facebook—so they can review their transaction logs. If the café confirms a mistake, they can process a refund; if you can’t resolve it with them, contact your bank or card provider to initiate a dispute.

How can I contact Lil'Bean Coffee Shop about a charge on my card?

You can speak to staff in person by visiting Lil'Bean Coffee Shop in North Gosford during their normal opening hours. For non-urgent questions or if you’re not local, you can send them a message via their official Facebook page at facebook.com/lilbeancoffeeshop, including the transaction date, amount, and a general description of the issue (never share full card numbers). They can then verify the charge and advise on next steps.

Can I cancel or stop future charges from Lil'Bean Coffee Shop?

Because Lil'Bean Coffee Shop does not typically bill customers on a subscription basis, there is nothing to “cancel” in the traditional sense—each charge is tied to an in-store purchase. To prevent future charges, make sure your physical card is secure and not shared without your consent, and ask family members if they have used your card at the café. If you suspect your card details have been used without permission, contact your bank immediately to block the card and request a replacement.
