Price Range £10–20

Laverockha is a cafe tucked into Larkhall’s Union Street, offering a laid-back spot where locals swing by for both a solid breakfast or a midday catch-up. The menu strikes a balance between comforting classics and more inventive options—the granola bowl with natural yoghurt and honey makes for a light, fresh start, while heartier choices like the posh sausage-and-egg brioche roll or the breakfast taco appeal to anyone wanting a filling, flavorful meal without fuss.

The atmosphere inside reflects its neighborhood surroundings: unpretentious and welcoming, where the staff recognize familiar faces and newcomers alike. It’s common to see groups who’ve dropped in after a morning walk or visitors grabbing a quick coffee—particularly the lattes and espressos, which get nods for being both well-made and reliably warming. Pastries like the croissants hold up well to the rest of the menu’s robust offerings.

Afternoons can be especially inviting here, with the buzz of quiet conversations over late breakfasts or early lunches, making it suitable for both solo visits and casual meetups. The combo deals, such as soup paired with a sandwich, keep things simple and satisfying without overwhelming wallet or appetite.

Folks who appreciate friendly service paired with generous portions will find Laverockha a comfortable spot to pause. Though it sits amid some scruffier neighboring buildings, inside is a space that quietly plays well with the community vibe—a reliable pick for those who appreciate thoughtful, straightforward food without needing fanfare.

Stopped off with the lads coming back from Aberdeen, what can I say! Absolute little gem.. they should be charging more for the food! Staff super friendly food and pastry’s were fantastic. Don’t let the other scruffy local buildings fool you, this place is well worth the visit.

First time in Laverockha and it will definitely not be the last. The interior is wonderful, cosy and tidy, and from the name of the cafe to the pictures on the walls there is a clever connection to the history of the local community, something that adds to the character of the place. Kirsty was super kind with us and she kindly shared some very interesting information about the cafe and the history of the town. The food was delicious and so was the coffee as well. I’d very highly recommend Laverockha!

Great coffee and cake. Try the Black Forest hot chocolate. And Empire biscuits are amazing.
