Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a charge from “VANS CAFE & DELI” or “VANS CAFE COTTESLOE” on my bank statement?

This charge usually relates to a payment made at Vans Cafe & Deli in Cottesloe for dine‑in, takeaway, or drinks. The transaction descriptor is set by their payment terminal and your bank, so slight variations like “VANS CAFE COTTESLOE WA” or similar are normal. Check whether you or someone in your household recently visited Cottesloe around the date of the charge.

What typical amounts might I see from Vans Cafe & Deli?

Common charge amounts reflect cafe and bistro pricing, such as smaller totals (AUD $5–$25) for coffee and light snacks, and higher totals (AUD $25–$70+) for full meals for one or two people, depending on food and drinks ordered. Larger amounts may indicate group dining, catering, or a function tab. Your individual receipt will itemise all food, drinks, and any surcharges or tips included in the total.

Could this charge be a tip, surcharge, or split bill from Vans Cafe & Deli?

Yes. If you added a tip on the payment terminal, the final amount may be higher than the printed menu total, and your statement will only show the final combined figure. Vans Cafe & Deli may also apply a weekend or public holiday surcharge in line with local hospitality practices, and if you split a bill, your card will show only your share of the total.

Why do I see a pending or slightly higher amount from Vans Cafe & Deli on my card?

Some banks temporarily show a higher pre‑authorization amount to account for possible tips or adjustments, especially if the venue processed the card as a bar or restaurant transaction. This pending amount normally settles to the exact final bill within a few business days. If a pre‑authorization does not drop off or correct itself, contact your bank first, then reach out to the cafe with your transaction details if needed.

How can I get a copy of my receipt or verify what was charged at Vans Cafe & Deli?

Check your wallet or email for any receipt you received at the time of payment, and review your digital wallet history (Apple Pay/Google Pay) if you paid with your phone or watch. If you still need details, contact Vans Cafe & Deli using the phone number or contact form listed on vanscafe.com.au and provide the transaction date, exact amount, and the last four digits of your card so staff can look up the receipt.

I was charged twice at Vans Cafe & Deli—what should I do?

First, confirm that both charges are not from separate visits or from a pending pre‑authorization that later settled as a final charge. If you believe you were genuinely charged twice for the same visit, contact the cafe directly with both transaction amounts and dates so they can review their point‑of‑sale records. They can arrange a reversal or refund if a duplicate payment is confirmed; your bank’s processing time will determine how quickly the funds return to your account.

Does Vans Cafe & Deli offer any subscriptions, memberships, or recurring payments?

Vans Cafe & Deli primarily operates as a traditional cafe and bistro, and charges are normally one‑time payments for food and beverage purchases. They do not advertise ongoing subscription plans or automatic recurring billing for regular customers. If you see repeated similar amounts, it’s more likely due to frequent visits; check dates and times to confirm each transaction relates to a separate occasion.

How can I dispute a charge or request a refund from Vans Cafe & Deli?

Start by contacting Vans Cafe & Deli directly as soon as you notice an issue, using the contact details on vanscafe.com.au or calling during their opening hours. Provide your receipt (if available), the date and time of your visit, and the exact amount charged, and explain whether the problem relates to incorrect items, overcharging, or duplicate billing. If you cannot resolve the matter with the cafe, you can then contact your bank or card issuer to ask about a transaction dispute or chargeback process.
