About Sparrow & Finch Espresso

Sparrow & Finch Espresso is a specialty coffee café and espresso bar located in Brisbane’s CBD, Queensland, Australia. Popular with city workers for breakfast and lunch, they serve barista-made coffee, grab‑and‑go options, cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, and light bar-style fare. In the afternoons and evenings, Sparrow & Finch also operates as an after‑work drinks spot, offering beer, wine and simple bar snacks in a casual, busy city setting. You can find menus, opening hours, and updates on their Facebook page at facebook.com/sparrowandfinch100.

A Sparrow & Finch Espresso charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you pay for in‑store purchases such as coffee, meals, snacks, or alcoholic drinks. Charges can be one‑off transactions for a single visit, or they may reflect a bar tab that was opened and then closed to your card at the end of your visit. You may also see a separate small “pending” amount if they placed an authorization hold when you opened a bar tab or if the terminal performed a card verification. If you visited with a group, it’s also common for one person’s card to be used for the whole table, even if others paid them back in cash or via transfer.

If you’re unsure about a Sparrow & Finch Espresso charge, start by checking the date and amount against any recent visits to Brisbane’s CBD for coffee, breakfast, lunch meetings, or after‑work drinks. Look for receipts in your email (if you requested a digital receipt), your wallet, or ask colleagues or friends if they used your card to pay for a shared bill. To resolve questions, you can contact Sparrow & Finch directly via the messaging function on their Facebook page or by calling the phone number listed there; provide the exact transaction date, time, and amount from your statement so staff can look it up in their point‑of‑sale system. For disputed or potentially fraudulent charges, also contact your bank or card issuer promptly to report and investigate the transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a Sparrow & Finch Espresso charge on my statement when I only remember having a coffee?

Sparrow & Finch Espresso runs all food and drink sales through the same payment system, so your statement will simply show the café name without item details. Even if you just purchased a single coffee or pastry, it will appear as a Sparrow & Finch Espresso transaction. Check the exact date and time on your statement and match it with when you were in Brisbane’s CBD for a coffee run or meeting.

What typical amounts might Sparrow & Finch Espresso charge my card for?

Common Sparrow & Finch Espresso transactions range from small amounts (a few dollars for a coffee or pastry) to moderate totals for breakfast or lunch for one or more people, and higher totals when paying a bar tab with multiple drinks and food. If the amount on your statement seems larger than you expected, consider whether you paid for a group, added a tip, or combined food and drinks on a single bill. The venue also includes GST in its prices, which is reflected in the final total.

Why is there both a pending and a completed Sparrow & Finch Espresso transaction?

You may see a small pending charge or authorization hold if Sparrow & Finch Espresso preauthorised your card to open a bar tab or if the terminal performed a card verification. Once the final bill is processed, the actual amount will post as a completed transaction and the smaller pending amount should drop off automatically within a few business days. If the pending hold does not disappear after a week, contact your bank or card issuer for assistance.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Sparrow & Finch Espresso transaction?

If you requested an email or digital receipt at the time of payment, check your inbox (including spam) around the transaction date. For a reprint, contact Sparrow & Finch through their Facebook page (facebook.com/sparrowandfinch100) or by phone, and provide the transaction date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of your card; staff can usually locate the sale in their point‑of‑sale system and reissue a receipt. Your bank statement alone does not show line‑item details, so the venue is the best source for a detailed tax invoice.

Can Sparrow & Finch Espresso set up a recurring or saved payment on my card?

Sparrow & Finch Espresso generally processes in‑person, one‑time card payments at the café, and they do not typically run ongoing subscriptions like a streaming service or gym. However, if you have a regular corporate or catering arrangement that is billed to a card, you might see repeat charges around the same time or day each week. If you’re seeing repeated Sparrow & Finch charges you don’t recognize, contact the venue and your bank to confirm there is no error or unauthorized use.

How do I dispute or query an incorrect Sparrow & Finch Espresso charge?

First, verify that the date and amount don’t match a visit where you may have paid for others, opened a bar tab, or added a tip. If it still looks incorrect, contact Sparrow & Finch directly with the transaction details (date, time, amount, and last four digits of your card) so they can review the bill and the payment record. If you cannot resolve it with the venue or you suspect fraud, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to lodge a dispute or chargeback.

Can I get a refund from Sparrow & Finch Espresso if I was charged twice?

If you believe you were accidentally charged twice (for example, the terminal timed out and you tapped again), bring or send a copy of your bank statement showing the duplicate Sparrow & Finch Espresso transactions, along with the approximate time of payment. The staff can check their system for duplicate sales and, if confirmed, process a reversal or refund back to your card. Refund timing depends on your bank, but it usually appears within a few business days once processed.

How can I contact Sparrow & Finch Espresso about a charge on my card?

The quickest way to reach Sparrow & Finch Espresso is via their official Facebook page at facebook.com/sparrowandfinch100, where you can send a direct message with your billing question. You can also call the phone number listed on their Facebook profile or on a past receipt to speak with staff during business hours. When you contact them, have your bank statement handy with the transaction date, time, and amount so they can look up the charge efficiently.
