One of the workers, 31, was hit over the head with the machete during the incident at the business on Yass Road just after 1am Saturday.
Police said no one was seriously injured, with the attacked worker treated at the scene.
The men demanded cash, with one jumping the counter and grabbing cigarettes and cash, before entering the office and taking two mobile phones, NSW Police said in a statement.
"Both men then fled the store and were last seen running south on Yass Road," police said.
Police were investigating, but the men had not been found in an extensive search.
"The first man is described as being of Pacific Islander appearance, about 170cm tall, with a slim build," police said.
"At the time of the incident, he was wearing a black balaclava, a black jumper with a grey hood, black tracksuit pants, white shoes, and white knitted gloves."
The second man was wearing a bandana over his face and a grey beanie with a pattern on it, as well as a black jumper, grey pants, dark shoes, and dark gloves.
