Common Grounds in Morpeth is a beautiful café located in Morpeth. It has an amazing aesthetic to it that brings the joy and love into every trip there. You can find this little café tucked away at 139 Swan St, next to the good owl.

Unfortunately, the Common Grounds isn't a wheelchair friendly café, with their being no disability parking at the front of the store although there are plenty of diagonal spaces which are pretty wide and long to provide a lot of space. The entry point does involve stair as well and there isn't a whole lot of space to move around inside since it is a small establishment. The entry also consists of steps with no ramp entrance and has a very small outdoor area to fit a table or two.

There are standard toilets on site but they don't have ambulant or wheelchair specific toilets
