About Mr Ashcroft

Mr Ashcroft is a gourmet café and catering company located on Little Collins Street in Melbourne’s CBD, Australia. Formerly known as “Lt. Colin” or “Little Colin,” the venue was rebranded as Mr Ashcroft and now focuses on specialty coffee, fresh ready‑to‑go meals, sandwiches, salads, and pastries tailored to busy city workers and visitors. In addition to on‑site café service, Mr Ashcroft offers catering options for meetings, office events, and small gatherings, which can typically be browsed and requested via their website at mrashcroft.com.au.

A charge from “MR ASHCROFT,” “MR ASHCROFT MELBOURNE,” “MR ASHCROFT LITTLE COLLINS,” or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement usually relates to an in‑store purchase at the café, a catering order, or a takeaway order processed through their payment terminal. Common transaction amounts tend to match the cost of coffee and café food (for example, small amounts for a single coffee, or larger totals for multiple meals or catering). In some cases, you might see a pending or temporary authorization if your card was pre‑authorised (for example, for a large catering order, a tab, or when using certain digital wallets or corporate cards); these usually drop off or are replaced by the final charge within a few business days.

If you’re unsure about a Mr Ashcroft charge, start by checking any recent café visits in Melbourne’s CBD, coffee runs, office catering, or food orders made around the transaction date. Look for receipts in your email (especially if you requested an emailed tax invoice) or physical receipts from a visit to Little Collins Street, and check food‑delivery or corporate expense apps if you used them. To resolve questions, you can contact Mr Ashcroft through the contact details or enquiry form listed on mrashcroft.com.au, providing the charge date, exact amount, and the last four digits of the card used so they can locate the transaction. If there’s been a billing error or you were charged incorrectly, they can usually issue a correction or refund; for unauthorized card use, you should also contact your bank or card issuer immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from MR ASHCROFT on my bank statement?

A charge from MR ASHCROFT typically comes from a purchase made at their café on Little Collins Street in Melbourne or from a catering order placed with them. This could be anything from a single coffee to a larger order of meals, sandwiches, and pastries, or an office catering invoice. Check your recent visits to Melbourne’s CBD and any work‑related food or coffee runs around the transaction date.

What are the typical amounts for Mr Ashcroft charges?

Most café transactions at Mr Ashcroft are relatively small, commonly covering items like specialty coffee, breakfast items, and grab‑and‑go lunches—often in the range you’d expect for Australian city cafés (for example, a few dollars for coffee through to larger totals for multiple meals or catering). Larger charges usually relate to group orders, meeting platters, or corporate catering. If the amount on your statement is higher than a standard personal meal, consider whether it may be linked to a team or event order.

Could this be a subscription or recurring charge from Mr Ashcroft?

Mr Ashcroft primarily operates as a café and catering service and does not generally run consumer subscription plans like streaming or software services. However, some businesses may set up recurring or scheduled catering with them, which can result in regular charges around the same time each week or month. If you’re seeing repeated charges, check with your office manager or whoever organises catering to see if Mr Ashcroft has been set up as a regular supplier.

Why do I see a pending or duplicate Mr Ashcroft charge?

Some banks show a temporary authorization when your card is first tapped or inserted at the café, then later show the final posted payment as a separate line. This can look like a duplicate for a day or two, but the authorization usually disappears once the final charge settles. If both amounts remain posted after several business days, contact Mr Ashcroft via their website and your bank to investigate a possible duplicate payment.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or tax invoice from Mr Ashcroft?

If you requested an emailed receipt at the time of purchase, search your inbox for ‘Mr Ashcroft’ or ‘mrashcroft.com.au’ around the transaction date. For business or catering invoices, check with your accounts department or the person who placed the order. If you can’t find it, reach out to Mr Ashcroft through the contact form or details on mrashcroft.com.au with the date, amount, and last four digits of your card so they can locate and resend an invoice.

How do I resolve a wrong amount or mistaken charge from Mr Ashcroft?

If you believe you’ve been charged the wrong amount, first compare the charge on your statement to your printed or emailed receipt to confirm the discrepancy. Then contact Mr Ashcroft directly via the contact information listed on mrashcroft.com.au, providing the transaction date, time (if known), amount, and last four digits of the card. They can review their point‑of‑sale records and, if an error is confirmed, usually process a correction or refund. For suspected fraudulent use of your card, you should also immediately notify your bank or card issuer.

How can I contact Mr Ashcroft about a charge I don’t recognize?

Visit mrashcroft.com.au and use the contact or enquiry form, or the email/phone details provided there, to get in touch with their team. Include as much detail as possible: your name, charge amount, transaction date, and the last four digits of the card used, but never send your full card number. They can check their transaction logs to confirm what was purchased and by whom, and advise you on next steps if the charge appears to be in error.
