About Little Collins

Little Collins is a local café and brunch restaurant located in Freshwater, New South Wales, Australia. Known for its relaxed coastal vibe, it serves all‑day breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes alongside pastries, cakes, and specialty coffee. Guests typically visit for dine‑in meals, takeaway coffees, and light snacks, and many locals treat it as a regular spot for weekend brunch, casual meetings, and grab‑and‑go orders.

A charge from Little Collins will usually appear on your bank statement after you’ve paid for food or drinks in person, placed a phone order, or used a delivery or ordering app that processes payments under the café’s name. Most charges are one‑time payments for a single visit, but you might also see a separate charge if you added a tip on a card machine, split bills across multiple cards, or adjusted your order after the initial payment. In some cases, your bank may first show a “pending” or “card authorization” amount from Little Collins (for example, when you tap or insert your card) that later updates to the final total including any extras or tips.

If you’re unsure about a Little Collins charge, start by checking recent visits to Freshwater, food delivery orders, and any receipts or email confirmations you may have from the same date. Compare the transaction date and amount to when you last bought coffee, brunch, takeaway, or pastries there; remember that card payments can sometimes post a day or two after your visit. To resolve any questions, you can call or visit the café during business hours—staff can usually look up card payments by date, time, and amount and reprint or confirm receipts. If the café confirms that the transaction doesn’t belong to you, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge and request further investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from LITTLE COLLINS FRESHWATER on my bank statement?

This is typically a one‑time charge for food, drinks, or takeaway purchased at Little Collins café in Freshwater, NSW. Review your recent activity around the transaction date—such as brunch visits, takeaway coffee, or a delivery order—to see if it matches the amount charged.

Can Little Collins appear on my statement if I ordered through a delivery or ordering app?

Yes. Depending on how the app processes payments, the charge may appear as Little Collins itself, the delivery platform’s name, or a combination of both. If you see Little Collins listed, it likely relates to a pickup or delivery order placed through that app on or near the transaction date.

Why does the amount charged by Little Collins not match the amount I remember?

Differences can occur if you added a tip on the card machine, changed your order after the initial total, or split the bill with someone else and only recall your share. Also, some banks first show a pre‑authorization that later updates to the final total. Check your itemized receipt if you have it, or ask the café to confirm the exact breakdown of your bill.

Why do I see a small pending charge from Little Collins that later disappears or changes?

This is usually a temporary card authorization your bank places when you tap or insert your card. Little Collins sends a request to verify the card, and your bank may show this as a pending amount. Once the actual transaction is finalized, the pending authorization either drops off or updates to the final purchase amount.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Little Collins transaction?

If you paid in person and didn’t keep the receipt, you can visit or call Little Collins and provide the approximate date, time, and amount of the charge, along with the last few digits of the card (do not share your full card number). Staff can often locate the transaction in their point‑of‑sale system and confirm or reprint the receipt for you.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Little Collins charge or suspect it’s fraudulent?

First, confirm that a family member, partner, or authorized card user didn’t make a purchase at the café or place a food order you’ve forgotten about. If no one recognizes the transaction, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report a potential unauthorized charge, and they may freeze or replace your card. You can also inform Little Collins so they are aware of possible card misuse.

Can I get a refund for a mistaken or incorrect charge from Little Collins?

If you believe you were overcharged or billed twice, bring your bank statement and any receipts to Little Collins or call them with the details. The café can review their transaction records and, if an error is confirmed, process a refund back to the original payment method. Refunds may take a few business days to appear on your statement, depending on your bank.

Does Little Collins offer any recurring charges or subscriptions that might bill me monthly?

Little Collins is primarily a café and brunch restaurant, so charges are generally one‑off payments tied to specific visits or orders, not ongoing subscriptions. If you see repeated charges, they are most likely from multiple separate visits or orders made over time. Review the dates and amounts—if you still believe you’re being billed incorrectly, contact the café and your bank for clarification.
