Welcome to The Workbar Cafe and Coworking Space, a vibrant and multifunctional café located at Torralba St, Poblacion, Iligan City. This delightful spot transcends the boundaries of a typical café by providing not just a place to refuel but also an inviting workspace designed for productivity and comfort.

The ambience of The Workbar Cafe is a standout feature. With cozy seating options and a layout that encourages relaxation and focus, it’s an ideal environment for both solitary work and collaborative meetings. Many customers have praised its clean facilities and overall inviting atmosphere, making it a favorite among students and professionals alike, as noted by Dean Goldwin, who enthusiastically shares, “Perfect place to work and fill your stomach at the same time!”

Now, let’s talk about the food – a true treasure trove for those who appreciate affordable yet delicious meals. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty dish or a quick snack, The Workbar Café has something to tempt your taste buds. Indulge in their Seafood Marinara (₱199.00), a delightful pasta that bursts with the flavors of the ocean, perfectly complemented by a savory marinara sauce and a medley of seafood. Alternatively, savor the comforting warmth of their All-Beef Lasagna (₱180.00), a rich and satisfying dish that guarantees to fulfill your pasta cravings.

If you’re looking for a lighter bite, the Fries (₱80.00) are a classic choice, delivering the perfect crunch with a golden exterior and fluffy interior, though some customers have mentioned the seasoning could use a bit more flair. And don’t miss out on the Beef Shawarma (₱105.00), elegantly wrapped in homemade pita bread and topped with fresh vegetables and their special TWB shawarma sauce - a must-try for any shawarma lover.

While many rave about the extensive menu and cozy seating, a few diners have shared concerns about the speed of service and the availability of power outlets for those needing to work on-the-go. Kathleen Pamesa noted, “The seafood marinara was good, but I ended up leaving after an hour” due to limited charging options. Nevertheless, the overall atmosphere encourages a leisurely pace, allowing you to soak in the ambience while enjoying your meal.

The Workbar Cafe is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a community hub where creativity flows, ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful yet dynamic environment. As Anton Sheker aptly put it, “Great place to dine and work at the same time.” Whether you’re here to tackle your to-do list or unwind with a good book and coffee, this café ensures you have the perfect spot.

Perfect place to work and fill your stomach at the same time. 1. ambience is great 2. coffee and frappe is 9/10 3. clean comfort room 4. meals and snacks are delicious and affordable. The workbar cafe is one of my favorite place to chill and work. With its location near St Michaels College, accessibility should not be a problem.

Seafood marinara was good. I also ordered the sour cream fries. Fries itself was okay, but the flavor was very lacking. Chairs were very comfy. No outlets in the cafe so I ended up leaving after an hour.

Great place with lots of seat options. Wide selection of food and drinks, the serving time can be pretty long and can last up to 15-30mins. There's also wifi time limit .

One of the few good coworking spaces in Iligan City. Space is big and facilities are good. They also serve tasty foods for a reasonable price. Customer service is okay. When we visited, nobody was there to accommodate us. We had to wait for some time for the attendant to arrive. Overall, I recommend this coworking space. #LetsDoThis
