Go! Located on the square in the Quintessential small town of McKinney Texas,Layered is a must for breakfast. Located in a repurposed turn of the century building,it's got a cool vibe that even works at breakfast. I was surprised how busy they were for a Monday. However,after my first drink of the perfect black coffee they served,I knew I was in the right place. Varied menu with all the usual suspects and well executed. My corned beef hash was excellent, as were my granddaughters breakfast tacos . Get this,it was all served up by a robot! I can't wait to try other menu items as well as their extensive specialty coffee menu. In addition,there is an interesting full bar that needs investigation. Go! read more

Service, food and atmosphere was good. We drove all the way from Dallas to have brunch. Good menu great friends !

I came here with a group of friends for brunch. Overall decent experience. We ordered a variety of dishes and some dishes were a hit and some were a miss. I ordered the vegan hash and it was delicious. Portion was generous and the veggies were well seasoned. I was really excited about the polenta pancakes but they were pretty basic. The polenta doesn't make it special from my point of view. Probably not the best for groups because we were a party of 8 and squished together. The restaurant and outside seating area were packed since the weather was great when we went. read more

Previously this restaurant was really disappointing, but I tried it again and it was excellent. Food quality has increased by A LOT. Service was also better especially considering they were about to close. Food is great and so is the espresso. BLTA-no Avo & Cortado read more

I came here last year and the food was great. I decided to come back to get the brunch again and the quality has definitely gone down I'm kinda disappointed. We got the French toast, the layered breakfast plate, and the migas and it was just alright nothing special. The coffee is always good and the service. The mimosas just tasted like Prosecco to me, not very good to be honest. Not sure if I'll be coming back. read more

Superfast service, topped only by the speed of the cooks! Wow! Even better, the food quality is superb! My 'Corned Beef Hash & Eggs' was hearty and tasty, and my wife loved the 'Breakfast Tacos.' The Mocha Espresso was better than Starbucks. Five Stars all day long!! read more

Super cool. And the menu says VEGAN hash. Not much protein but it rocked. Maybe add Tofu then that would top it off Biggley. Make it crazy with vegan cheese put it under the broiler make it almost a nacho thing and charge double. Non vegans will have FOMO and want to check it out and will come. Then the idiots that say it is too much - cut it in half and charge half. Thanks for being here. Courtney rocked it with good service. read more

The service and food is great. Definitely try it! Had the bacon burger. It was amazing!

Little cafe with big flavor. My family stopped in for a quick breakfast. My husband ordered the steak and eggs (no picture). While my daughter and I split the Belgian waffles. If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast things, I would recommend trying. You don't even need to use syrup the sugared waffle and fruit complimented each other perfectly. My daughter was also happy to enjoy a decaf latte. Also, never seen a place where a robot delivers your food. Would eat here again if ever back in town. read more

I like this location, good pancakes at fair prices. I liked that my server was attentive and showed care and concern if we were satisfied or if we needed anything else. Service goes a long way in the restaurant business. I had the pancakes with a really good cappuccino, definitely recommend coming here! read more

I came here with a friend during the weekend to grab some brunch, and we only had to wait about 15 minutes after putting our name on the list, which was great. I ordered a regular cappuccino and the breakfast sandwich that comes served with mixed fruit. The sandwich and the fruit were really delicious! I loved that, instead of regular bread, it was served on a croissant. The restaurant itself is really nice and quirky, with great seating. Our server was super friendly and helped us decide what to order from the menu, as it was our first time. Excellent spot for brunch right on the square in downtown McKinney! read more

Fantastic venue, decor and nice staff. Went for Sunday brunch and their ordered a cappuccino, mimosa (1st was $12 and each additional was $1), cornbeef hash, sweet potato bacon hash, and toast with cream cheese, strawberries and their delish freshly-made fruit compote, which was incredibly tasty. Both hashes were savory delights. Would definitely eat here again. One unique aspect was "Bella," the robot server. Our waiter explained that they use the robot because the kitchen is so far away from the seating area and the robot can carry up to twenty plates compared to a human server. read more

Rob or Robert which ever he prefers that day, was a fantastic server! He was very attentive, personable, and made sure our table was taken care of from start to finish.

This a great place for breakfast or lunch. Very laid back atmosphere with old brick walls and includes a full bar. I ordered the monster-sized 3 egg omelet with an add-on of breakfast potatoes. All was delicious! They use a cute robot to help serve plates and service is prompt and friendly. I will definitely be back for a lunch sometime very soon! read more

Emily was my server. She has a beautiful smile and very attentive. I had the French toast with a French vanilla cappuccino. There was enough fruit on my plate that I had a bite with every bite of toast - never had that luck before! The coffee was very good - definitely not a burnt taste like the big green mermaid! The place is a nice size but still had that quiet peaceful presence that I love so early in the morning. Will definitely keep this on my favorite places for breakfast! read more

Really fun little brunch spot in downtown McKinney. This is a great place to eat brunch with family or friends. They have a cute little robot that brings the food out. The coffee is great. I had a dark chocolate mocha and its something that I will crave. The espresso was smooth and it's made with a dark chocolate, which is why I ordered it. It's a good dark chocolate and its big enough that you can sit for a while an enjoy your coffee. The menu has a lot of wonderful things and I was informed that most of the menu can be made gluten free. I had the steak and eggs. The steak was cooked really good. It's a good steak too. It had a great beefy flavor that went well with the perfectly cooked egg and the spiced potatoes. I recommend going, but plan ahead. This place is popular at one point there was a line out the door so be prepared to wait. I promise its worth the wait. read more

What a great idea my husband and I had to go to Layered for breakfast this morning. The good spirit of the people who were working there could be felt. This coffee place evolved nicely since it opened its doors, its food and coffees are getting better. But what has not changed is the excellent attention to its clients. Delicious cortado and cappuccino, highly recommended. read more

We eat here once or twice a month. Consistently excellent. Servers are friendly. Place is always clean.

The best service, food & vibe! Don't forget to check out the speakeasy at night! You won't believe the transformation. Or maybe you need brunch after a night at the speakeasy! My favorite is the $1 mimosa refill -- great for family, girls time, or a date. Can't recommend Layered enough read more

Shakshuka. That's what tried because breakfast can get boring and I was pleased. In fact I've been looking for recipes to try making it at home. It's a nice place in a great location. I recommend. read more

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to Layered. It's a quaint coffee shop with a few tables but dont pass up the counter space. Everyone is friendly and check on you regardless if its their table and Sydney my waitress was a doll. Now let's talk the main event FOOD. I was a pleasant surprise just how delicious the food was. I ordered the vegan hash and polenta pancakes. The Vegan has was devine, seasoned well with a bit of spice and plenty of delicious vegetables. The pancakes were fluffy and very large and the berry sauce was a perfect touch. Word of advice: Now I knew the hash was going to be plenty but my sweets side would not let it rest and I'm glad I listened. GET THE PANCAKES. You can always nibble for the rest of your day. read more

My GF and I have visited here for brunch on several occasions, and it never disappoints. One word of warning up front: They do NOT take same day reservations for brunch. Call the day before if you want to get in at a set time. The decor is simple yet functional, and one of the coolest features is the BellaBot, a friendly robot server that brings dishes to your table. Currently, a server has to offload the plates onto your table, but that may change at some point. It's very good at its job, though! But what of the food? In a word: Yum! My favorite brunch dish is the Shakshuka skillet, billed as "An Israeli dish with a fresh sunny side up egg in a smoky, vegetable-laden tomato sauce, served with warm bread." It's that, and probably more, because you'll likely want to add on avocado, feta cheese, kalamata olives, bacon, or sausage (or maybe all of those; the base dish doesn't have meat), It's served in a small cast iron skillet, and it's a well seasoned (but not spicy) dish that's unique in flavor, and very satisfying. Also worth a nod are the polenta pancakes, which have an unusual texture due to the polenta, and taste great with berry compote or some syrup. Another big favorite are the Belgian waffles, but know up front that these are Liege waffles, which feature a thicker batter, uneven edges, and pearl sugar throughout, so they're not the typical style you might expect. They are, however, crispy and delicious, and hold on to all of the syrup and butter you can throw at them. And finally, the coffee program here is great as well, with the latte being our drink of choice, and they really do them right. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely amazing first breakfast at Layered. The flat white was strong, yet smooth and perfect temperature. My omelette was nicely cooked with nice fresh veggies. Shakshouka was legit as well - done exactly the way you would expect it in Turkey or the Middle East. Service was great as well. Looking forward to coming back. read more
