Find your way to the ‘other’ side

There’s something about getting off the beaten track and discovering new haunts that adds to the fun of shopping and eating out. In Mornington, just over the Nepean Highway away from the hustle and bustle of Main St, you’ll find the hidden treasures of the Mornington industrial area to explore.

Commonfolk coffee roaster and café put the Mornington industrial area on the map when it opened in 2013, bringing a discerning, creative crowd to these back streets. Interest from business and retail outlets looking to set up shop in the area has grown considerably since then, and now there’s an eclectic mix of offerings drawing curious people to the location.

Mornington Peninsula Magazine has dedicated this feature to some of the businesses making the Mornington industrial area the magnet that it is for those who are looking for something a little different. You won’t find fast fashion, mass-produced furniture or fast food here. Think vintage, retro, artisan, original, and you’re on the right track.
