A charge from Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay for a meal, drinks, coffee, takeaway, or catering. The transaction description may include terms like “MEZES ESPRESSO BAR,” “MEZES BRIGHTON,” or a variation with their location in Brighton-Le-Sands. You might see charges from this merchant after dining in and paying at the counter, placing a phone or online order using your card, settling a group bill where your card was used for multiple people, or paying through a delivery partner where Mezes appears as the merchant of record. In some cases, your bank may first show a pending or pre-authorisation amount (for example, when opening a bar tab or if the terminal checks card validity) that later adjusts to the final bill total, including tips/surcharges.

If you’re unsure about a Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant charge, start by checking your recent visits to Brighton-Le-Sands, food delivery orders, and any receipts or email confirmations around the transaction date. Review your bank statement for the exact date and time, which may help you match the charge to a breakfast, coffee, or dinner outing, or a shared group payment. To resolve questions, you can contact the restaurant directly using the phone or contact form listed on mezes.com.au, providing the charge date, exact amount, and the last 4 digits of the card used so staff can look it up on their payment terminal reports. If you still don’t recognize the charge after speaking with them, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute or report possible unauthorised use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant on my bank statement?

This charge usually appears when you’ve paid for food, drinks, or coffee at Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant in Brighton-Le-Sands, or placed a takeaway/phone order where your card was processed by them. It can also appear if your card was used to pay for a group bill or a round of drinks and you later forgot about the transaction. Check your calendar and messages for any meetups or meals in Brighton-Le-Sands around the transaction date to help jog your memory.

What are common amounts I might be charged by Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant?

Typical charges range from small amounts for coffee and breakfast items to larger totals for full lunch or dinner for multiple guests, often including any weekend or public-holiday surcharges where applicable. If you ordered drinks, shared plates, or covered a group, it’s normal for the total to be significantly higher than a standard café transaction. Reviewing the exact charge and comparing it with what you’d expect to spend on a meal out can help you confirm the transaction.

Why is there a pending or slightly different amount from Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant on my card?

Some Australian card processors briefly place a pre-authorisation ("pending" amount) to verify your card before finalising the transaction. This is common if you opened a tab, provided your card in advance, or if the initial amount was adjusted later to include tips or surcharges. The pending amount should update to the final bill total within a few business days; if it doesn’t, contact both the restaurant and your bank for clarification.

I don’t live near Brighton-Le-Sands—could this be from an online or delivery order with Mezes?

Yes, it’s possible if you ordered via phone for pickup, or through an online or delivery platform that passes the charge through under the restaurant’s name rather than the app’s. Review your delivery app history (e.g., Uber Eats, DoorDash, Menulog, etc.) and email/SMS receipts around the transaction date to see if a Mezes order matches the amount. If you see no such order, contact Mezes directly and then your bank if you suspect the charge is unauthorised.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice for a Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant charge?

You can usually request a copy of your receipt directly from Mezes by calling the restaurant or using the contact details on mezes.com.au. Provide the date and approximate time of your visit, the exact amount charged, and the last 4 digits of your card so they can find the transaction in their payment records. They can then reissue a printed or emailed tax invoice, subject to their internal policies.

What should I do if I think the Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant amount is incorrect (overcharge or duplicate)?

First, compare the charge against your receipt or note what you ordered, including any surcharges or tips. If the amount still seems wrong, contact Mezes directly with the transaction details and ask them to review their EFTPOS/terminal log for that day. Many billing discrepancies, such as accidental double taps or incorrect key entries, can be resolved by the venue issuing a partial refund or adjustment. If you can’t reach a resolution, you can then raise a dispute with your bank or card issuer.

Can I get a refund from Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant if I was charged by mistake?

Refunds for mistaken or incorrect charges are handled directly by the restaurant at their discretion and in line with Australian consumer law. If you believe you were charged in error, contact Mezes as soon as possible with proof of the transaction (statement screenshot, receipt, or bank notification). If they confirm an error, they can usually process a reversal or refund to the same card used, although it may take several business days to appear on your statement.

How do I contact Mezes Espresso Bar Restaurant about a charge I don’t recognise?

Visit mezes.com.au to find their current phone number and any listed email or contact form, then provide the transaction date, time (if known), exact amount, and last 4 digits of your card. Avoid sending your full card number or CVV. The staff can check their POS records to confirm what was purchased and may be able to tell you whether it was dine‑in, takeaway, or through a specific ordering channel, helping you verify or dispute the charge.
