About this restaurant

  • Healthy
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Gluten-free-friendly
Whether you’re on the move or looking to sit down and take a break, The Workers’ provides a Melburnian coffee and wholesome meal to every busy city-dweller.

The wood-oven fire at the heart of our kitchen inspires a menu of Middle Eastern salads, Turkish flatbreads and artisan sandwiches - and while lunch is served from midday, our scrumptious breakfast menu entices the hardest of workers to relocate the morning meeting to the Workers’ boardroom.

    Service is hit and miss. Didn't even get to speak to someone about arriving for our booking it was so frantic and could not get a staff members attention. Take away seems to be given priority over dining in which is a shame. Whenever I have eaten in waitresses don't come over and have no idea what is going on.

    Great little cafe to catch up with friends. Fresh salads are a great daily option. The portions though are huge so do go hungry or be prepared to ask to take your left overs with you. Fantastic Cofee too.

    This is a convenient place for us near work, with usually good food, but really haphazard service. Our food arrived at odd intervals, after waiting about 30 mins. And they failed to bring my meal (a salad plate) and when I went looking for it was told all the salad was gone so I couldn't have it. I ended up with a pretty ordinary cauliflower wrap. To make amends the waitress brought a plate of cakes, which I didn't want, though my colleagues seemed to enjoy them. This is the third time I've had poor service here. I won't go back when there are plenty of other options nearby.

    We loved the restaurant! Had never been before. Our waiter was lovely and attentive, the space was nice and warn on a cold and rainy Melbourne day and the food was delicious. We'll be back!
