The man threatened to harm them if they didn't give him money, police said. They handed over "a small amount of money" and cigarettes and he took off.
The men were not hurt.
The robber is described as between 20 and 30 years old with a thin build, short dark hair and an unshaven face. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans and carrying a pair of black boots.
