Valley View At Gouldings

the coffee here leans specialty, which means if you're used to high-street espresso you'll probably notice the difference in your first sip. valley view at gouldings sits out in rosebank, carluke, which is not a place you stumble into by accident. you come here because you mean to. that kind of location tends to filter the crowd down to people who actually care about what's in their cup, and the locals have clearly taken to it. the standing in this part of ml8 is genuine and built over time, not propped up by foot traffic from a busy high street. if you're making the trip out to carluke, time it for a quiet weekday morning when you can take your time with whatever's on the filter menu.
