About The Royal Bean

The Royal Bean is a local café in East Perth, Western Australia, known for its specialty coffee, relaxed atmosphere, and a menu of hearty breakfasts and lunches. Customers typically visit for espresso-based coffees, cold brews, teas, smoothies, and a selection of hot and cold café-style meals such as cooked breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, and light lunches. As a bricks-and-mortar café, charges usually come from in-store purchases rather than online orders, and may be processed through a point-of-sale system that shows up under “The Royal Bean” or a similar descriptor on your bank or card statement.

A charge from The Royal Bean may appear on your bank statement if you recently purchased coffee, drinks, food, or takeaway items at their East Perth location. This could be for a one-time transaction, a group bill you paid for, or multiple items combined into a single total. In some cases you may see a temporary authorization hold if you used pay-at-counter terminals or contactless payments, which can look like a pending charge before it finalizes. If you visited more than once in a short period—such as for breakfast and then coffee later in the day—you may see multiple small charges with similar amounts. Some food delivery or ordering apps may also list The Royal Bean as the merchant name, even though you ordered through a third-party platform.

If you’re unsure about a charge, start by checking recent receipts, bank notifications, and your calendar to recall any café visits in East Perth around the date of the transaction. Compare the transaction amount and date with any payment confirmations you received by SMS, email, or from a food-delivery service. To resolve questions, you can visit the café in person during business hours with your statement or call their main number if available via local listings, and ask staff to look up the transaction by date, time, and amount. For unrecognized or potentially fraudulent charges that can’t be matched to any visit or order, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the transaction or request further investigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from THE ROYAL BEAN or ROYAL BEAN CAFE on my statement?

This charge usually comes from an in-person purchase at The Royal Bean café in East Perth, such as coffee, drinks, or a meal. The description on your statement may appear as THE ROYAL BEAN, ROYAL BEAN CAFE, or a similar variation depending on the payment terminal and your bank. Check if you recently visited a café in East Perth or paid for a group bill around the same date.

What are typical charge amounts I might see from The Royal Bean?

Common transaction amounts often reflect café and brunch pricing—small charges for single coffees or drinks, and higher totals when multiple meals or items are purchased together. It’s normal to see rounded amounts that match a coffee and snack, or a larger bill if you paid for several people. If the amount looks unfamiliar, check whether you treated others, added a tip (if applicable), or combined takeaway and dine-in items on one bill.

Can The Royal Bean appear on my statement through a delivery or ordering app?

Yes, if you ordered from The Royal Bean via a food-delivery or online ordering service, the merchant name may still show as THE ROYAL BEAN or a combination of the café name and the platform’s name. In some cases, the charge may be grouped with delivery, service, or tip fees, making the total higher than the food value alone. Review your order history in the delivery app around the transaction date to confirm the charge.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate charge from The Royal Bean?

Some card terminals place a temporary authorization hold to confirm your payment method, which can appear as a small or duplicate pending charge. This usually happens with contactless or tap-and-go payments and should automatically adjust to the final purchase amount or disappear within a few business days. If a pending hold posts as a separate completed charge, contact the café or your bank to have it reviewed.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a charge at The Royal Bean?

If you didn’t receive or keep your receipt, you can ask The Royal Bean to reprint or confirm details of your transaction. Visit the café or call during business hours with the exact date, approximate time, and amount of the charge, along with the last four digits of the card used. Staff can usually locate the transaction in their point-of-sale system and provide a reprinted or summary receipt where available.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a charge from The Royal Bean?

First, check with family members or anyone else who might use your card to see if they visited the café in East Perth. Then review recent food-delivery or takeaway orders, as those may list The Royal Bean as the merchant. If no one recognizes the transaction and you suspect it’s unauthorized, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report the charge and follow their dispute or fraud procedures.

How do refunds or billing corrections work at The Royal Bean?

If you were charged the wrong amount or billed twice, speak with staff at The Royal Bean as soon as possible and bring your bank statement and any receipts. The café can usually process a refund or adjustment back to the same card used for the original transaction, though it may take a few business days to appear on your statement. For issues that can’t be resolved directly with the café, your bank can help you open a dispute.

Does The Royal Bean offer any form of prepaid cards, loyalty balances, or tabs that might cause unexpected charges?

Some cafés operate informal tabs or loyalty systems where you might top up a balance or settle multiple small visits in one payment, which can result in a larger-than-expected charge. If you regularly visit The Royal Bean or participate in any loyalty or frequent-customer arrangements, ask staff if a tab or accumulated balance was recently closed out. They can review your history and explain how the total was calculated.
