When Layers was in their old location. I would visit frequently for chocolate chip cookies, tarlets and the occasional birthday cake. Everything was so delicious. I've been to the new location a few times and it seems like they have lost their touch. Maybe the coziness of the former location added to the charm?
On my first trip to the new location, my husband and I had breakfast. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which was served on Layer's version of a croissant. I must say it was one of the oddest combinations. The croissant was not tradionally fluffy, but was overly greasy and so flaky that it fell apart and left my fingers dripping of oil. I could not even cut it with a knife, it just made an even bigger mess. After a few bites, I started to think my taste buds were off because the flavors just did not jive. When my husband tried it - he agreed. We realized that sandwich had a horseradish-like spread... yuck! He also was not impressed by his breakfast quiche. I find it a bit arrogant that there was a comment made by Layers management that their flavor combinations should not be questionned... maybe they should listen to customers!
The other issue I have is bussing your own dishes is awkward and inconvenient, especially when we spent over $20 on breakfast. TIP for Management: since the place isn't that big, and the food prices are moderately high - maybe you should bus the dishes.
