About The Sparrow's Nest

The Sparrow's Nest is a cozy local café and brunch restaurant located in East Victoria Park, Western Australia. It’s known for its all-day breakfast menu, hearty brunch dishes, and specialty coffees such as crème brûlée lattes, spiced lattes, and seasonal signature drinks. The venue typically offers table service for dine‑in, takeaway coffee and food, as well as phone or in‑person orders, with prices usually charged in Australian dollars (AUD). They may also use common delivery platforms (like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Menulog) for online orders, which can cause the merchant name “The Sparrow’s Nest” or a variation of it to appear on your statement.

A charge from The Sparrow’s Nest may appear on your bank or card statement after you’ve paid for in‑house dining, takeaway, or a delivery order. Most transactions are one‑time payments for food and beverage purchases, but you might also see charges for grouped orders (for example, a whole table’s bill paid on one card), tips added at the terminal, or pre‑authorizations if you opened a tab at the counter or bar. If you used a third‑party delivery app, the charge might appear under The Sparrow’s Nest along with the delivery platform’s name, or show as a slightly different descriptor with the café’s suburb (East Victoria Park) included. Occasionally, small pending amounts or a slightly higher total than the menu prices can reflect weekend or public‑holiday surcharges, card processing, or tips.

To verify a Sparrow’s Nest charge, start by checking the transaction date, the amount in AUD, and whether you or someone in your household visited the café or placed a delivery order around that time. Look through your email receipts, text confirmations, food delivery app order history, or your phone wallet (Apple Pay/Google Pay) to match the total. If you still have questions, contact the café directly by phone or via their social media pages (commonly Facebook or Instagram), provide the exact transaction date, amount, and last four digits of the card used, and ask them to look up the payment in their point‑of‑sale system. For issues like incorrect amounts, duplicate charges, or an unrecognized transaction, the café can usually reprint a receipt, issue a refund where appropriate, or confirm whether the charge is a temporary authorization that will drop off in a few days. If they’re unable to locate the charge or you suspect fraud, you should promptly contact your bank or card issuer to dispute the transaction and secure your card.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from THE SPARROW’S NEST EAST VICTORIA PARK on my bank statement?

This usually indicates a one‑time purchase for dine‑in, takeaway, or a delivery order from The Sparrow’s Nest café in East Victoria Park, WA. The transaction description may include terms like “Sparrows Nest Café,” “Sparrow’s Nest East Vic Park,” or similar variations, and will typically be billed in Australian dollars (AUD). If you visited a brunch café in East Victoria Park or ordered via a delivery app around that date, this is likely that charge.

What are typical charge amounts from The Sparrow’s Nest?

Most individual charges range from about AUD $8–$12 for a single coffee and pastry, up to AUD $25–$40 per person for breakfast or brunch with drinks. Larger totals (AUD $60–$150) usually reflect group bills or takeaway orders for multiple people. On weekends or public holidays, you may notice slightly higher totals due to any applicable surcharge or added tips.

Why is my Sparrow’s Nest charge slightly higher than the menu prices I remember?

Your final amount can be higher than the base menu prices if you added extras (like avocado, bacon, alternative milks), chose specialty coffees (such as crème brûlée or spiced lattes), or dined on a weekend/public holiday where a surcharge may apply. Gratuities/tips added at the EFTPOS terminal and delivery platform fees (if you ordered via a third‑party app) can also increase the total compared with the listed food and drink prices.

Does The Sparrow’s Nest have subscriptions or recurring charges?

The Sparrow’s Nest is a local café and does not typically offer subscription plans or recurring billing like a digital service would. Almost all charges are one‑time payments for specific food and drink orders on the day of purchase. If you see recurring Sparrow’s Nest charges and you are not regularly visiting, check with family members who use the card and then contact both the café and your bank if it still looks suspicious.

Why do I see a small pending or duplicate amount from The Sparrow’s Nest?

In some cases, the payment terminal or your bank may place a temporary authorization hold when a card is inserted, tapped, or used to open a tab. This can appear as a small or duplicate pending amount that typically falls off your statement within a few business days once the final transaction settles. If a pending amount remains or you see two completed charges for the same visit, contact the café with your receipt so they can confirm and, if appropriate, arrange a refund of any duplicate payment.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or verify what was included in my Sparrow’s Nest bill?

If you need an itemized receipt, first check your email, food delivery app order history, or digital wallet, as many systems automatically send or store receipts. If you paid in person and don’t have the paper slip, call or message The Sparrow’s Nest with the transaction date, approximate time, amount, and last four digits of your card; they can usually retrieve the order from their point‑of‑sale system and confirm the items and total. This is helpful for clarifying extra charges or shared table bills.

How do I request a refund or correct an incorrect charge from The Sparrow’s Nest?

Contact The Sparrow’s Nest directly as soon as you notice the issue, ideally with your receipt or a screenshot of the transaction details. Explain whether the problem is an incorrect amount, a duplicate charge, or items you didn’t receive; the café can typically verify the transaction in their system and, if they confirm an error, process a refund back to your original payment method. If you cannot reach them or disagree with the outcome, follow up with your bank or card issuer to lodge a dispute.

What should I do if I don’t recognize a Sparrow’s Nest charge and I’ve never visited East Victoria Park?

First, confirm that no one in your household or on a shared card used the account for a visit or delivery order linked to East Victoria Park, WA. If no one recognizes the transaction, contact your bank or card issuer immediately to report a potentially unauthorized charge, request a card replacement, and start a dispute. You can also try reaching out to The Sparrow’s Nest with the transaction details; they may be able to confirm whether the card was presented in person or used through a delivery platform, which can help your bank’s investigation.
