Located in a heritage-listed, original telephone exchange building on Wills street within minutes of the leafy Flagstaff Gardens, you’ll connect with our home’s history from the moment you walk in.
Operator 25 is a bright and playful space to have meetings or settle in for a cosy chat.
For us, the discussion gets serious when it comes to our obsessions: food and specialty coffee.
