About Project Blue Cafe

Project Blue Cafe is a neighborhood specialty coffee shop located in Taringa, Queensland, Australia. They serve locally roasted espresso and filter coffee, plus a rotating menu of Asian-fusion sandwiches, toasties, and casual breakfast and lunch dishes. Orders are typically placed in-store at the counter or online for pickup through their Square-powered ordering site at projectbluecafe.square.site, where customers can pay with major debit and credit cards, mobile wallets, or stored card details for faster repeat orders.

A Project Blue Cafe charge usually appears on your bank or card statement after you’ve bought coffee, food, or other items in-store, or placed an online order via their Square site. The descriptor may look like “SQ * PROJECT BLUE CAFE,” “PROJECT BLUE CAFE TARINGA,” or similar, because payments are processed through Square. Most charges are one-time café purchases, but you might also see separate charges for split bills, tips added after the initial transaction, or adjusted amounts if an item was changed or refunded. If you saved your card for quick checkout on their online ordering page, you may also see a repeat one-time charge when you place another order on a different day.

If you’re unsure about a Project Blue Cafe charge, first check recent receipts, your email (including spam/junk folders) for Square or Project Blue Cafe confirmations, and any food/coffee orders you placed for pickup. If you still have questions, visit projectbluecafe.square.site for their current contact details or drop into the cafe in Taringa to ask staff to look up your transaction by date, amount, and last four digits of your card. Common issues—such as duplicate charges, pending authorizations that later disappear, or incorrect amounts—are usually resolved by the cafe directly, who can issue refunds or adjustments through Square if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from PROJECT BLUE CAFE or SQ * PROJECT BLUE CAFE on my bank statement?

This charge is typically from a purchase you made at Project Blue Cafe in Taringa or through their online ordering site powered by Square. The billing descriptor often includes “SQ *” because Square is their payment processor. Check any recent coffee, breakfast, or lunch purchases you made in person, or online orders placed via projectbluecafe.square.site around the same date and amount.

What are the typical prices for Project Blue Cafe purchases?

Most individual charges from Project Blue Cafe fall in the range of about AUD $5–$12 for a single coffee or drink, and AUD $10–$25 for a coffee plus a sandwich, toastie, or meal. Larger amounts may reflect multiple items, shout coffees for a group, or takeaway orders for several people. If the amount matches what you’d expect for a café visit in that range, it’s likely a legitimate one-time purchase.

Does Project Blue Cafe offer subscriptions or recurring coffee plans?

Project Blue Cafe does not commonly run ongoing digital subscription plans like streaming services; most payments are one-off transactions for food and drinks. However, if you’ve arranged any prepaid coffee cards, catering, or special order packages, these may be charged through the same Square system. If you see repeated similar charges on different days, they likely correspond to separate in-store or online orders rather than an automatic subscription.

Why do I see two similar Project Blue Cafe charges or a small extra amount on my statement?

You may see a second charge if you added a tip after your card was initially authorized, resulting in a final amount that differs from the original authorization. Sometimes a small temporary authorization or a voided attempt can appear briefly, then drop off within a few business days. If you suspect a true duplicate charge (two completed payments for the same visit), contact Project Blue Cafe with the date, time, and amounts so they can check their Square records and issue a refund if appropriate.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Project Blue Cafe charge?

If you paid in-store and chose an emailed receipt, search your email for messages from Square or Project Blue Cafe around the date of purchase. For online orders placed via projectbluecafe.square.site, you should have received an order confirmation and payment receipt by email. If you can’t locate it, visit or contact the cafe with the exact charge amount, date, and the last four digits of your card so they can look up and reissue a receipt through Square.

How do I dispute or request a refund for a Project Blue Cafe transaction?

Start by contacting Project Blue Cafe directly—either in person or via the contact details listed on projectbluecafe.square.site—so they can verify the order and correct any mistakes. Provide the date of the transaction, the amount, and the last four digits of your card. If they confirm an overcharge or error, they can process a refund through Square; refunds may take a few business days to appear on your statement. If you cannot resolve the issue with the cafe, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the charge.

Why is there a small pending or $1-style authorization from SQ * PROJECT BLUE CAFE?

Occasionally, Square or your card issuer may place a small temporary authorization to verify your card when a payment is initiated or when you tap/pay with a new card. This is not a final charge and normally disappears or is adjusted to the final transaction amount within a few business days. If it remains pending for more than a week or converts into a completed charge with no corresponding visit, contact Project Blue Cafe or your bank for clarification.

How can I contact Project Blue Cafe about a charge on my card?

You can reach Project Blue Cafe by visiting their website at projectbluecafe.square.site, where you’ll find current contact details such as their phone number, address in Taringa, and sometimes an email or contact form. You can also speak to staff directly by visiting the cafe during business hours. When you contact them, have your statement handy with the date, amount, and card type so they can quickly locate the transaction in their Square system.
