About Pellegrino's Cafe

Pellegrino’s Cafe is a family-owned, local cafe located in Fyshwick, ACT, serving classic Australian-style breakfast, brunch, and lunch. The cafe offers barista-made coffee, teas, fresh juices, and a rotating selection of house-baked goods in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Popular menu items typically include cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and light lunch plates, with both dine-in and takeaway options available. You’ll usually pay at the counter using EFTPOS, credit card, or mobile wallet, and your bank statement will show the merchant name as something similar to “PELLEGRINOS CAFE FYSHWICK” or “PELLEGRINOS CAFE AUS.”

A Pellegrino’s Cafe charge usually appears on your bank or card statement when you’ve paid for food or drinks in person—either dining in, grabbing takeaway, or settling a group bill. In some cases, you might see multiple smaller charges if your group split the bill across several cards, or a single higher total if you paid for the table. You may also notice an added surcharge on weekends, public holidays, or for certain card payments (such as credit or contactless), which will be itemized on your receipt and included in the final amount charged. Pending or temporary authorizations can sometimes display briefly when the card is first inserted, tapped, or pre-authorized, then later update to the final amount.

If you’re unsure about a Pellegrino’s Cafe charge, start by checking the date, location (Fyshwick, ACT), and amount against your receipts, calendar, or messages with friends or colleagues you may have dined with. Look through your email, wallet app, or any photos/texts from that day to confirm if you visited the cafe. If you still have questions, you can contact Pellegrino’s Cafe directly using the details on their website (pellegrinos.com.au), by phone during opening hours, or by visiting in person with your receipt or a screenshot of the statement charge. For billing issues such as an incorrect total, duplicate charge, or concerns about a surcharge, speak to the cafe staff first; if it cannot be resolved, you can then contact your bank or card provider to dispute the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Pellegrino’s Cafe charge on my card when I don’t remember eating there?

Most Pellegrino’s Cafe charges come from in-person payments for breakfast, brunch, coffee, or lunch at their Fyshwick location. Check whether you visited Fyshwick on that date for work, errands, or with friends, or if someone else on your account (such as a partner or family member with an additional card) may have used the card. Also review your calendar, messages, and any photos from that day—cafe visits are easy to forget but often line up once you look at your schedule. If the date or location clearly doesn’t match, contact Pellegrino’s and then your bank to investigate a possible fraudulent transaction.

Does Pellegrino’s Cafe have subscriptions or ongoing charges?

No, Pellegrino’s Cafe does not operate a subscription or membership service; charges are one-off payments for food and drinks purchased in-store. If you see recurring charges under the Pellegrino’s Cafe name, double-check the exact statement descriptor and dates to ensure it is not a different merchant with a similar name, and confirm that someone with access to your card isn’t visiting regularly. Any repeated identical amounts are most likely separate visits rather than an automated subscription.

What amounts are typical for a Pellegrino’s Cafe charge?

Pellegrino’s Cafe is a casual cafe where individual charges commonly reflect a coffee-only visit, a light snack, or a full meal for one or more people. Smaller charges will usually be for drinks or a pastry, while higher charges often indicate full meals, multiple coffees, or paying for a group. Any applicable card surcharges or weekend/public holiday surcharges are included in the final total and should match the itemized total shown on your receipt. For exact pricing, refer to their in-store menu or check for a copy of your receipt if you requested one at the time of purchase.

Why is there a Pellegrino’s Cafe charge that’s slightly higher than the menu prices I remember?

In Australia, many cafes, including Pellegrino’s, may apply a small surcharge on weekends, public holidays, or certain card transactions, which can make the final amount slightly higher than the base menu prices. The surcharge, if applied, should be clearly disclosed at the counter or on the menu and itemized on your receipt. It’s also possible that add-ons (extra shots, alternative milk, sides, or takeaway packaging) increased the total. Compare your statement amount to your receipt; if the figures don’t match or you think a surcharge was applied in error, contact the cafe directly to review the transaction.

Why do I see a pending or temporary Pellegrino’s Cafe charge on my statement?

When you pay with a card at Pellegrino’s Cafe, your bank may first show a pending or temporary authorization before it settles to the final amount. This can happen if the payment terminal initially pre-authorizes your card, especially for contactless or tap-and-go payments. The pending amount should update to the exact purchase total once the transaction is fully processed, usually within a few business days. If a pending charge does not resolve or if you see both a pending and a posted charge for the same visit, contact your bank and, if needed, the cafe to confirm whether a duplicate payment occurred.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from Pellegrino’s Cafe for a charge?

If you need a receipt for a Pellegrino’s Cafe transaction, start by noting the exact date, approximate time, and amount shown on your bank statement. Contact the cafe using the details on pellegrinos.com.au or visit in person and provide this information so staff can search their point-of-sale records. While they may not always be able to reprint older receipts, especially during busy periods, having accurate details significantly increases the chance they can confirm or reconstruct the transaction.

What should I do if I think I was overcharged or double-charged by Pellegrino’s Cafe?

First, compare the amount on your bank statement with the receipt or the total you remember seeing on the payment terminal at Pellegrino’s Cafe. If you suspect an overcharge, a duplicate payment, or a tip/gratuity was added in error, contact the cafe directly with the transaction date, time, and last four digits of your card so they can review their records. If a mistake is confirmed, they can usually process a refund or reversal back to your original payment method. If you cannot resolve it with the cafe or believe the transaction is fraudulent, contact your bank or card provider to raise a dispute.

How can I contact Pellegrino’s Cafe about a charge on my statement?

To query a Pellegrino’s Cafe charge, use the contact information listed on their official website at pellegrinos.com.au or call during their normal trading hours in Fyshwick, ACT. When you reach out, have a screenshot or copy of the statement entry ready, including the transaction date, amount, and the exact descriptor text. This helps staff quickly locate your payment in their system and advise whether it matches a recorded sale, as well as discuss next steps such as clarifying surcharges, issuing a correction, or advising you to contact your bank if something looks fraudulent.
