Finally tried Layered and now I understand the hype. I tried their Kyoto Latte (latte with condensed milk. The latte was a bit watery, but I can't wait to try their other drinks! And of course I had to try their fruit desserts! From Mango to Matcha Jasmine, everything tastes so fresh, delicious, and beautifully crafted. It's a busy spot but still gives that cozy cafe feel. Finding a seat is a challenge, but so worth it!

We were in the Northern Virginia area and decided to try Layered in Fairfax. We had attempted to visit when they first opened, but at that time they were only doing limited batches. Now, they seem to be producing desserts continuously to keep up with demand. The location appears to be in a former McDonald's building, which gives you a sense of the space, it's fairly large. There are a variety of seating options, and it looks like they've added a new outdoor patio as well. There's a small self-service area for some treats, but most items are ordered from behind the counter. We arrived around 8 PM, and it was busy. We waited about 15 minutes to place our order and another 15 minutes to receive our drinks and desserts. We tried the Yuzu & Limoncello, Rocher, and Café Au Lait desserts (each around $9.40), along with a tiramisu latte ($6.40). Everything was delicious--creamy, well-balanced, and full of flavor. Prices are on the higher side. The cashier was friendly, though it seemed like they might have been understaffed. That said, the team handled the crowd well. Overall, it's a nice spot to check out if you're already in the area, but not somewhere we'd go out of our way to visit.

We've been waiting to try this place for the last year and man was it disappointing. This place is definitely over hyped. The pastries are cute but flavor isn't that great. It's just okay. We got the mango, vanilla, pistachio, yuzu & spinach pie. The spinach pie was the best thing we had unfortunately. Service was great though. The staff are really nice & helpful.

have heard a lot about this place so decided to give it a try since the hype has died down. I love the interior with options to work from super cute! I ordered the banana cream matcha which indeed tasted like banana. I didn't taste much of the matcha but it may due to how strong the banana cream flavor is. I personally would not get it again. I also got to try the cappuccino here and it was the standard capp nothing fancy or "wow" about it. Didn't get to try the dessert items so may need to come back & try it once. Service was friendly overall!

Mango pastry so good!!

I finally got a chance to try layered and I really loved it. This cafe is large with plenty of seating but it does get super busy on weekends. They have so many drink options and I tried the banana matcha which was so delicious! All of their pastries are all handmade and they look pretty and so much like real fruit. Their pastries are basically art and that's why this place is a bit pricey. I think the price is worth what you get. All the pastries I tried were delicious but my absolute favorite was the mango.

Desserts and matcha

The desserts here are better than you would think! They're beautiful and pretty tasty, but can be kind of expensive. I recommend the mango dessert! I've been here twice and tried the matcha jasmine dessert twice: one time it was bland but the second time it was really good. So maybe depending on the day, dessert quality can differ a bit. The drinks are decent, they have some fun flavors. I tried the matcha pandan drink and it was a touch sweet. Definitely worth coming here once! I'm curious about the different pastries they have as well. I've been here only on the weekend, and it's usually pretty busy. There's a lot of seating, but gets full pretty fast.

This bakery is such a fun concept! Their cakes resemble real fruit and are almost too pretty to eat. It broke my heart to break the cake. It's definitely a spot that catches your eye right away. Very instagrammable. The mango cake was my absolute favorite. The filling had real mango pieces, which made it taste incredibly fresh. It wasn't overly sweet at all, more of a balanced sweet-and-sour flavor that felt light and refreshing. We also tried the matcha strawberry cake. It was very light, perfect if you don't like heavy desserts. The matcha flavor wasn't super strong though, I personally would've loved a deeper matcha profile. Their coconut matcha drink was solid as well and paired nicely with the cakes. It can get busy depending on timing. We got lucky and waited about 10 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad. Service was quick and checkout was easy. The only downside is the price. The mango cake is quite small for $15...you're paying for the artistry and aesthetic as much as the taste.

strawberry, ube cheesecake, strawberry matcha
Sharon L.

I came here on a sunday afternoon and we got the strawberry pastry, ube cheesecake and strawberry matcha. My friend and I both thought that everything was ok but a little too sweet. I thought the strawberry pastry was a bit underwhelming in terms of taste as I thought it was would be an outer chocolate covering/shell with a refreshing cream but the cream was more reminiscent of almost a cream cheese flavor that I didn't really like and there was no hard shell. I liked the strawberry matcha the best out of everything we got but my friend said the drink was too sweet. Overall, I thought the cafe was ok ! The employees were friendly and the interior of the cafe is very cute with lots of seating. I think I would come back and just try their other pastries.

Mango and Ube Cheesecake
Vin P.

Go here! Don't even think twice just GO! I ordered a matcha strawberry shortcake latte, and it did not disappoint. Perfect balance of matcha and actual strawberry shortcake flavors. We also ordered Ube Cheesecake and a Mango pastry. Both were excellent. The mango was very refreshing and the ube cheesecake was not too heavy or overpowering. Vibe here is really relaxing, chill, and modern. Def worth the hype!

Phone eats first -- but I won't be back for seconds. I understand the hype. The aesthetics are alluring. I stopped in on Valentine's Day to surprise my guy with cheesecake and waited in a very long line. I'm not big on cheesecake myself, but he is -- and he was not impressed. The description does say "creamy," but this was unsettlingly creamy for a cheesecake connoisseur. I chose the strawberry cake. Again, it was a case of cream meeting strawberry compote... and the textures were very different. It just didn't come together for me. If you're looking for an Instagram-worthy dessert moment, this is your stop. The presentation is gorgeous. If you love ultra-creamy desserts, this is also your spot. Otherwise... say cheese, you gorgeous little treat.

This super trendy cafe has gone viral for their life like desserts. We got a couple different desserts and drinks to try. The desserts were very good, all not too sweet and were very unique. My personal favorite was the Match Jasmine cake that had a nice strawberry filling to pair with the match flavor. Drinks were just ok but I would definitely come back for the iconic desserts. I missed some of the more popular desserts like Mango and Strawberry so would definitely come back to try those! Desserts: San Sebastián Cheesecake, Lemon and Matcha Jasmine Drinks: Strawberry Matcha, Iced Latte and Iced Americano

Kathy T.

Such a cool and aesthetic place! If this place was closer, I would definitely come here often to do some work. When you walk in, they have all the pretty desserts in the front and it was so hard to choose which one to try. They also had other pastries in a separate casing. I ended up getting the strawberry dessert and it was not too sweet and light tasting. I also ordered the banana bread matcha latte and this was delicious! This drink had a good balance of both flavors without being too sweet.

Came in n Easter weekend, Saturday, and they were packed. Service was friendly and the line went quick. Kudos to the man in the mask ensuring every customer was taken care of. The desserts are beautiful. The SO and I really enjoyed the Café Au Lait and Rocher were amazing. Not too sweet and plenty of different textures to keep us interested.

This place is a lovely spot! My friend and I first stumbled upon it while trying to find a cafe to…read moresit and catch up, and I loved it so much I dragged my husband back at a later date. The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!

First of all, it's such a cute spot, the attention to detail alone makes it worth visiting. The music is always on point (and not too loud), so it's perfect if you want to study or get some work done. They also have outdoor seating, plus a not-so-secret second floor where you can usually find a cozy spot. I've ordered cakes from here multiple times, and they're incredibly smooth and not overly sweet, and honestly, it's hard to go back to typical American cakes after trying these. Everything just feels thoughtfully made. The service is just as impressive, everyone seems really knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely willing to help you decide on the perfect order (especially if you're indecisive like me). I wish I had taken more photos from all the times I've been, but that probably says enough. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu.

I was surprised, though, by how large the selection as relative to the size of the storefront. As the name suggests, the selection of pastries was weighted heavily towards tropical fruits, and while I'm not normally a cheesecake person, trying the guava cheesecake was an interesting experience, and it was as rich as you'd think, but the light fruit flavor provides a nice balance to the experience. Dairy-free customers won't find a ton in the baked goods, but they did have a cooler of frozen tropical fruit bars for sale, as well as beverages.

Be warned most of their pastries are pretty big so you should be prepared to share. I haven't tried their cakes yet but will be ordering from them for the next occasion. I wasn't too impressed with their version of the smoked salmon open sandwich because it was difficult to eat. Everything fell apart and/or would break down easily to make a balanced bite. I would imagine it's the same for all of the open sandwiches. Everyone should give this spot a chance if you passing through the chantilly area.
