About Mana Coffee

Mana Coffee is a campus café located at Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus in Brisbane, QLD, Australia. It serves specialty espresso-based coffee, teas, and cold drinks, along with breakfast items, baked goods, and quick lunch options such as pies, sandwiches, burgers, and rotating hot specials. As a typical university café, most purchases are made in person at the counter using EFTPOS, contactless cards, or digital wallets, and charges usually show up as small to moderate amounts consistent with food and beverage transactions.

A charge from Mana Coffee will usually relate to an in-person purchase made on or near the Griffith Mt Gravatt campus—often coffee, a snack, or a meal. You might see multiple small charges in a single day if you paid separately for coffee, breakfast, and lunch, or if several people’s food was paid on the same card at different times. Some banks group pending transactions, so you may briefly see a duplicate or slightly different amount if there was a tip added, a card machine retry, or an authorization hold that later adjusts to the exact final total.

If you’re unsure about a Mana Coffee charge, first check the date, time, and amount against when you or a family member may have been on or near Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus. Look for itemized receipts in your email or paper receipts from the day (many campus cafés use standard POS receipts). If you still have questions, contact the café directly via the Griffith University Mt Gravatt campus directory or general campus reception and ask for Mana Coffee; they can often confirm a transaction by date, amount, and the last four digits of your card. If the charge appears incorrect or unauthorized, contact your bank to dispute the transaction and to check for any other unusual activity on your card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Mana Coffee charge on my statement when I don’t remember going there?

Mana Coffee is located at Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus, so the charge usually comes from buying coffee, breakfast, or lunch while on or visiting campus. If you share your card with a partner or family member who studies or works at Griffith, they may have used your card there. Check with anyone who might have had your card that day, and compare the date and time of the charge with any campus visits, classes, or events.

What are typical amounts for Mana Coffee charges?

Most Mana Coffee transactions are small to moderate, commonly ranging from about AUD $4–$8 for a drink and from around AUD $8–$20 for meals or combinations of items. You may see multiple charges in the same day if you made separate purchases (for example, a morning coffee and a later lunch). Larger totals may indicate you paid for several people or bought multiple items in a single order.

Why do I see two similar Mana Coffee charges or a pending amount that later changed?

Duplicate-looking or changing amounts often come from card terminal authorizations and adjustments. Sometimes the initial tap or swipe creates a pending authorization, and if the transaction is reprocessed (for example, after a machine error), you may briefly see two entries. One should drop off automatically within a few business days, leaving only the finalized charge; if not, contact your bank and, if needed, the café through the Griffith Mt Gravatt campus directory.

Does Mana Coffee run subscriptions or recurring billing for coffee or meal plans?

Mana Coffee typically operates as a standard point-of-sale café, so most charges are one-time purchases made at the counter. They do not commonly run subscription-style coffee memberships or automatic recurring meal plans under the Mana Coffee name. If you see repeated charges on the same date each month, review each transaction—this may indicate frequent visits rather than a formal subscription, or in rare cases, a stored card used regularly by someone else with access.

How can I get a copy of a receipt for a Mana Coffee transaction?

If you paid by card, the café’s POS system often allows reprinting a receipt if you provide the approximate date, time, and exact amount, plus the last four digits of your card. Call or visit Mana Coffee via Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus and ask staff to look up the transaction in their system. If that’s not possible, many banks offer card transaction details in your online banking, which can serve as basic proof of payment.

How do I resolve a wrong amount or incorrect charge from Mana Coffee?

Start by verifying the transaction details in your online banking and checking any receipts you kept from that day. If you believe you were overcharged, charged twice, or billed for items you didn’t receive, contact Mana Coffee via the campus directly—bring or provide the transaction date, amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can investigate. If the café confirms an error, they can usually process a refund or adjustment; if you suspect fraud or cannot reach them, contact your bank to dispute the charge and request a card replacement.

Can Mana Coffee place small temporary or $1-style authorizations on my card?

Like many merchants, the payment terminal used by Mana Coffee may place a small temporary authorization on your card when it checks card validity, especially for contactless or digital wallet payments. These small amounts (often a few dollars or even $1) are not final charges and should disappear from your statement within a few business days. If a small pending amount doesn’t drop off or converts into a posted charge without a real purchase, raise it with your bank and, if needed, query the café.

What should I do if I don’t recognize any Mana Coffee purchases and think the charge is fraudulent?

First, confirm that no one in your household or on your account made a purchase at Griffith University’s Mt Gravatt campus around that date. If nobody recognizes the transaction, immediately contact your bank or card issuer to report the charge as unauthorized and ask them to block or replace your card. You can also notify the café through the Griffith Mt Gravatt campus so they’re aware a possibly compromised card was used, but your bank is the primary contact for refunds and fraud investigations.
