Warkop Richmond - Coffee & Sandwich

Have been with these guys since they started. And they have consistently and reliably been our top go-to lunch spot. Offerings at this Richmond outlet have not changed much as kaya toast is still on the menu. But the pork belly is not 😔. It is available from the city outlet with more coffee and drinks choices there. I'm sad as I want to try out those options as well.

Found this quiet sandwich joint called @warkop_melbourne in Richmond! A former Navi sous chef opened this one, putting Indonesian-inspired flavours into sandwiches.

The absolute star is their Chicken Taliwang Sandwich. I'm not familiar with Taliwang spice, but my gf, who is, said it was spot on - hella authentic. I personally wanted it to more pungent and distinctive - but understandable considering their target audience. They nailed the perfect balance.

Rare Beef Roll was also pretty good - they chucked tons of beef into a roll which is a huge plus in my book. Honestly tasted like I was having a bowl of Beef Pho in the form of a sandwich. My GF loved their kaya toast! Soft brioche bread with gooey coconut jam - you just can't hate on those bad boys.

A special shout out to their "Bazzinga Sauce" ($2). That secret sauce really brought out more flavours from all the sandwiches we had. Wished it was complimentary though.

Can not and will not fault @warkop_melbourne 's Beef Brisket with pickles and rendang sauce. The final stop on today's toasties tour of Melbourne, the abundance of brisket slices sandwiched in pickles and that beautiful, beautiful thick rendang sauce was the top toastie pick of the day. So much flavour! Thank you @warkop_melbourne you are doing very good things!! The Toasteam and toasties tour punters will be back to sample your other creations.

Legit one of the BEST sandwhich joints I have ever tried. Their sandwhiches are crispy with juicy tender meats and an EXPLOSION of Asian fusion flavours inside. The Indonesian flavour twist is something really unique I have never come across but works so well. Plus all their meats (beef, chicken lamb and pastrami) are all halal which is Amazing. I will be coming back here again and AGAIN!

Lovely coffee and very tasty Sandwich. I got the chicken one. The service is so friendly. A perfect option to take away or enjoy warm in a Lil table. Def Will be back

An interesting take to kaya toast where they use brioche buns and rice bubbles instead of the conventional kaya jam and thick slab of butter with thin toasted bread

I also tried their specials - fillet of fish burger. It was excellent, an upgraded version of maccas fillet o fish using Martin’s potato roll, crispy juicy fish fillet and a classic American style cheese. The sambal dressing they use had a nice kick to it but it was too spicy 🥵 for me but I’m sure others who love their chillis would have enjoyed it. Alfalfa sprouts they used have a refreshing taste to the overall ensemble.

I have also tried their chicken sandwich before, the sourdough was very nicely toasted, chicken was juicy although I thought they might have been a bit light with their seasoning. Still good though and I love how they wrap their sandwiches so nicely for take away. They make really nice salad too with lots of flavours!

Been several times getting coffees, finally tried their 10am hit sandwiches, tried the chicken, pork and the meatball special. Chicken was amazing, great spice, pork one was great, the meatball one was very interesting, tasted decent amount of lemongrass in the meatball, probably more of the parmigiano and reggiano would have elevated a bit more but overall was super tasty. Service was excellent, they just feel like a very family orientated business, probably one of my top favourite sanga places in Melbourne now. Coffees great as well. Keep up the great work!

@warkop_melbourne is such a great find 😍💎☕🥪 🇮🇩 ! It’s hidden on a quiet street next to a car park away from the Richmond hustle and bustle yet it was still popular with locals and offices nearby.

Thoroughly enjoyed the indo inspired sandwiches!! Their coffees were also brilliant. Met the lovely owners who are also so friendly and passionate about their menu. The Chicken and Limited edition weekend special Duck were my faves! The kaya toast is also a winner 😍 the homemade kaya is absolute bomb- and mixed with rice bubbles it was such a treat. 😍🤍🥪🇮🇩✌🏻☕😋 the fresh rare beef roll was good but I always prefer a warm sandwich 😄😍!

“Warkop” is short for a place where you enjoy snacks and coffee in Indonesia. Such a super cute cosy spot. All menu items are $16 and under so very reasonable too!!

We came here because we had heard this was the best sandwich shop in Melbourne and it did not disappoint. The hype is justified, the beef sandwich has set a new bar in excellence. Staff are super nice too and it's probably for the best I don't live too close or I would be here all the time.

Warkop is my favourite local place. There are bakeries with cult followings, and other cafes that do good stuff, but if it's my choice, I'm going with Warkop.
I visited Warkop for a quick coffee break during my first week at work in Richmond. The staff were friendly, and the coffee (I got a skinny flat white) was delicious.
I came back again the following week and they remembered my name and my order! I was won over.
Having said that, Warkop could easily just let the product speak for itself. Their lunch menu has become a solid favourite of every single friend and colleague of mine that I've introduced them to.
The only drawback is they don't have a lot of space. It's a hole-in-the-wall type setup, but to me they have extended an intimate and cosy vibe.
5 gold stars for everything.

An absolute must try - great service and fantastic coffee. The chicken taliwang and the beef pastrimi are mouth watering and should be on everyone’s order!

So happy to have these indo inspired sandwiches on the Melbourne food scene. The kaya toast has a delightful surprise in it as well and I would reccomended trying that as well. Best eaten straight away, you will not regret it!

I really like what they're doing here, down a quiet Richmond side street. It's Indonesian food (which I love) meets Melbourne cafe. The rare beef roll is probably my favourite of the sandwiches so far - the others tend to be a little heavy for my liking, but it's all been good. The service is always super friendly and ordering via the website is easy.

PorkBelly sandwich was super delicious.
We wanted to try the chicken too but it was sold out that day.
Coffee is good as well.
Definitely come back to try another items.

Great coffee. My personal view is their special turmeric fried chicken schnitzel burger was their best creation yet - what great integration of Indonesian flavours and everyday western food! We also usually order the chicken taliwang - occasionally the chicken slices can be a bit dry, but the flavours are definitely there. I also love to order the kaya toast as a starter - the kaya and buns are amazing! Would come back for more.

Wow! Warkop is an absolute hidden gem.
Indonesian sandwiches are a game changer and it’s an excellent alternative if you want a change from the classic reuben sangas.

🥪 Chicken sandwich with Taliwang spice, green tomato and rocket - YUM as. I’ve never had a sanga like this and this was one to remember.

V keen to try their classic beef reuben with rendang sauce next.

I literally only discovered this place by accident was I was walking down an alleyway and saw a line outside this shop. And to my pleasant surprise, it was a sandwich shop

They serve really good food and coffee here. My fkat white was nicely done and my sandwiches were made to perfection. This place was busy when we came, but the staff were very attentive and friendly to every customer. Will come again in the future to try other items in the menu.

Loved both the beef rendang and the confit duck leg👌The duck one was smaller but absolutely delicious~I've tried another duck sandwich elsewhere and it was nowhere near this. Will definitely go back

Richmond little gem 💥 Warkop offers indonesian fusion sangas - my fave is the chicken taliwang sandwich. The coffee here always good (but honestly not a coffee specialty kind of place) A must to try is definitly there kaya toast! Their housemade kaya is delicious! (The fragrance was spectacular), they come with rice pops as well!

excellent sandwiches in a quaint little corner of Richmond. especially enjoyed the chicken, pork, AND beef sandwiches. couldn't help it, had to try it all. kaya toast also excellent. do yourself a favour and get here before queues form.

Went there on a Saturday arvo, quite fortunate the line was not long at all. Ordered their special fried chicken sangers and a strong latte. Their sangers is generous portion and very filling. I really like the special weekend fried chicken sangers, so rich with spices flavour, but not spicy at all. Coffee was ok, abit weak for me, but overall it's a great combination
