Melbourne's first telephone exchange building is a brunch spot you'll want to hold your calls for. Set near Flagstaff Station, Operator 25 offers a sleek industrial setting and comfort foods with a contemporary twist. Leave boring morning food behind with decadent menu options like pressed lamb shoulder or soft shell crab salad with quail eggs. Excellent coffee is brought to you by beans from Cartel and Code Black. Brunch cafe and coffee hangout in an early 1900s building that housed Melbourne's first switchboard.
The very first use of the building back in the early 1900's was Melbourne's first switchboard, hence the name. The cobblestone wall adorns the heritage listed facade, concealing a modern rustic ambience inside. Whether you're a party of many or an intimate catchup with friends, Operator25 has a space for you. We are kids friendly and welcome the solo grazer flicking through the day's news. The approach to food at Operator25 is to use seasonal produce with classic flavours and other combinations that we know are comfort food, but with a little bit of a twist. And we serve specialty coffee using the finest beans from Melbourne’s own Code Black Coffee roaster. Whether you're a fan of espresso based, aeropress, pour over or cold drip coffee, we've got you covered.
