Uncommon Ground Coffee Roastery

Uncommon Ground Coffee Roastery is an independent speciality café and working roastery at 10–12 Royal Arcade in Cardiff city centre, where dogs are welcome inside. Run by brothers Paul and Ian Hayman since 2015, the café roasts its own beans — sourced from origins including El Salvador and Ethiopia — and also supplies other cafés across the country.

Open Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Uncommon Ground sits inside one of Cardiff's Victorian arcades and serves espresso, filter coffee, cakes, brunch dishes and savoury options. The Royal Arcade setting makes it easy to reach on foot from the city centre shopping streets.

The café is a compact, frequently busy space. Toilets are located in the basement with no lift access. Dogs must remain on leads and off the furniture throughout.
