About Tartt

Tartt is a specialty café based in Forster, New South Wales, Australia, known for serving high‑quality coffee made from locally roasted beans and a seasonal, chef‑driven breakfast and lunch menu. The café focuses on fresh, regional produce, creative brunch dishes, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere that’s popular with both locals and visitors. In addition to dine‑in service, Tartt may also offer takeaway coffee and food, occasional specials, and merchandise such as coffee beans or branded keep cups. For more about their menu, opening hours, or news, you can visit their website at thetarttcafe.com.

A Tartt charge usually appears on your bank or card statement when you’ve made a purchase in person at the café (for example, coffee, meals, cakes, or takeaway), or when you’ve paid for items such as coffee beans or merchandise. Depending on your bank, the transaction descriptor might show as “TARTT FORSTER,” “TARTT CAFE,” or a similar variation, sometimes with the café’s location in New South Wales. In some cases you might see a small pre‑authorization or pending amount when you tap or insert your card, which will later be replaced by the final transaction. If Tartt uses a mobile/EFTPOS terminal, the statement description may also reference the payment processor rather than just the café name.

If you don’t immediately recognize a Tartt charge, start by checking your recent visits to Forster or nearby areas, including any holiday trips, weekend getaways, or takeaway orders where you may have tapped your card quickly. Look through your email and text messages for receipts or bank alerts from the date of the charge, and compare the transaction date and amount to any café visits, shared meals, or group tabs you might have paid for. To resolve questions, contact Tartt directly using the details on thetarttcafe.com or their social media pages—provide the exact transaction date, amount, and the name on the card so they can look it up on their till/EFTPOS records. For billing issues such as duplicate charges, incorrect amounts, or unrecognized transactions, your bank or card issuer can also help investigate and, if necessary, start a dispute after you’ve attempted to clarify the charge with the café.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

A Tartt charge typically comes from an in‑person purchase at their café in Forster, such as coffee, breakfast, lunch, or takeaway items. The transaction may appear as “TARTT,” “TARTT FORSTER,” or a similar descriptor, sometimes alongside the name of the EFTPOS provider. Think back to recent trips to Forster or café visits where you might have quickly tapped your card without keeping a receipt. If you paid for a group, the charge may be higher as it can include multiple meals or drinks.

Are Tartt charges recurring or part of a subscription?

Tartt is a bricks‑and‑mortar café and does not typically operate on a subscription or recurring billing model like streaming services or subscription coffee clubs. Most charges are one‑off transactions for food, drinks, or merchandise purchased in person. If you see multiple Tartt charges over time, they are usually separate visits rather than an automatic subscription. If you suspect otherwise, contact the café and your bank to review your statement history.

Why is there a small Tartt charge showing as pending or a slightly different amount?

Some banks initially show card transactions from cafés and restaurants as pending or with a temporary authorization, especially when using tap‑and‑pay or mobile wallets. This may appear as a small hold or an amount that later adjusts to the exact total including any add‑ons or surcharges. The pending status usually clears within a few business days and is replaced by the final transaction. If a pending hold does not drop off or you see both a pending and a final charge, contact your bank and, if needed, Tartt for clarification.

Can I get a refund or correction for an incorrect Tartt charge?

If you think you were overcharged at Tartt—for example, charged twice, charged the wrong amount, or charged after a declined transaction—contact the café as soon as possible. Have your bank statement snippet, transaction date and time, and exact amount ready so staff can check their till and EFTPOS records. If Tartt confirms an error, they can usually process a refund or reversal back to your card, though the time it takes to appear depends on your bank. If you can’t resolve it directly with the café, contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction.

How can I get a copy of my receipt from Tartt?

Tartt typically issues printed receipts at the counter on request when you pay. If you didn’t take or keep the original receipt, you can reach out to the café using the contact details on thetarttcafe.com and ask if they can locate your transaction. Provide the approximate date and time of your visit, the total charged, and the last four digits of your card if possible. While they may not always be able to reprint a tax invoice for older transactions, they can often confirm what was purchased and the amount.

Why is the Tartt charge higher than I expected for just coffee?

A higher‑than‑expected amount often means the transaction included multiple items—such as meals, cakes, extra coffees, or takeaway items—or that you paid the bill for a group. Some banks also show the total including any card surcharges or weekend/public holiday pricing, which can slightly increase the final amount. Review your visit (e.g., brunch for several people, added extras, or takeaway for later) and check any receipts or bank notifications you received that day. If it still seems incorrect, contact Tartt with the charge details so they can review the bill.

How do I contact Tartt about a charge I don’t recognize?

Visit the café’s website at thetarttcafe.com for their most up‑to‑date contact information, including phone number, email address, and opening hours. When you reach out, share the date, time (if known), amount of the charge, and the name on the card so staff can search their system. It’s helpful to include a screenshot of the transaction (with card number details hidden) for clarity. If you’re unable to contact them or the issue remains unresolved, your bank can assist with further investigation.

Could someone else’s purchase appear as a Tartt charge on my card?

This can happen if someone you’re with used your card to pay at Tartt, or if your physical card or card details were used without your knowledge. Check with family members or travel companions who might have used your card during a visit to Forster. If no one recognizes the transaction and you suspect fraud, contact your bank immediately to block or replace your card and to dispute the charge. You may also let Tartt know so they can be aware of any suspicious activity on their terminal.
