| - This place is adorable and conveniently located next to my mothership, Target! I've been here twice after a Target run and I'm getting dangerously close to making stops at Layers a post-shopping habit.
There's plentiful seating, but the space can get packed around lunch time, so if you don't want to stay you can get your order to go. All of the treats are on display in glass cases and they have a great variety of baked goods including cookies, cake, pies, bread and other sweet treats which they make with as many organic/naturally based ingredients as possible. I've only had two things here-the Tiramisu cup and one of the sandwiches (can't remember the name). Tiramisu can be a terrifyingly rich dessert, but the mini cups they have here give you just the right amount of espresso-soaked goodness. My only complaint was the chocolate shell on top which isn't a characteristic of traditional tiramisu, however the overall flavor was great and perfect serving size was key.
On my second visit I had a hot sandwich with cheddar, bacon and chicken and wasn't impressed but wasn't displeased. It just kind of fell flat to me and was a little heavy for my taste. The bread it was on however was very tasty (it was some type of molasses bread) and I'm going see if they sell that by the loaf next time I'm in because that would make a great breakfast toast!
They have a small but sturdy variety of salads, soups, and sandwiches on the menu and they offer a small selection of craft beers and a little known wine brand called Bear Flag (my knowledge of this brand comes from the website Look at this F$&*ing Hipster....).
The staff is friendly and enthusiastic and take pride in making quality, good for your soul food. This place is great for kids, small groups or for those who want to have a quiet solo date with a book during their off hours (see: the few hours between the breakfast and lunch rush and lunch and dinner rush).
