Bought a cake for my sister in law. We decided on the tres leches rendition. It wasn't overly sweet. Great texture to it. The design was done well. read more

Located on one fo the sleepiest corners along Ditmars, Layers Bakeshop has made a name for itself for being one of the only late night dessert options in Astoria. Folks who are looking to satisfy their sweet tooth can score a cupcake, pastries and all of the above until midnight every night. While they utilize the natural lighting during the daytime, the evening is drowned out by this florescent lighting that makes me less interested in dining in. There is plenty of seating but just as awkward as the lighting is also the lukewarm service. It was like a late trip to the office, where the lighting was still on and not-so-theolled colleagues there to greet us. Thankfully their dessert selection is always on point. Their endless variety of cupcakes range from red velvet to biscoff and their custom cakes are impressive as well. True to their name, the "layered" sundaes are a perfect "dessert in a cup" option. Nutella and lotus are popular ones but the galaxy is the one to get. I've been told the brownies and donuts are also good, but I will reserve that for my next (late night) visit. read more

A friend ordered assorted cupcakes for delivery for a holiday get together, and in the spirit of the season we cut up each cupcake and shared so we each got to try several different flavors. There were 12 different cupcakes, almost the entire cupcake assortment. Visually they are mostly similar though maybe not the most aesthetically appealing with a single swirl of frosting and some messy zigzags or cookie crumbs on top. They definitely tasted better than they looked. Inside the cake crumb was moist and the frosting on top was fluffy and super smooth. Even as someone who's not a huge fan of frosting, the texture was so creamy and light that I ate most of it! Added comments for the ones I tried: - salted caramel : could taste the salted caramel clearly in the frosting, less in the cake - key lime : lime/citrus flavor wasn't very strong on this - red velvet : heard this was pretty standard - ferrero rocher : super rich and tasty - milk chocolate : also good, not sure if I clearly tasted milk chocolate here as compared to the other chocolate flavors - oreo cookie : both frosting and cake together was a little too sweet for me overall, though chocolate cake was good - swiss dark chocolate - more of a dark cocoa flavor and not as sweet - belgian malt chocolate - carrot cake - chocolate cream cheese - lotus bischoff - rafaello These were a hit and everyone at the party enjoyed them. At $3.50 per cupcake this wasn't too bad for single serving desserts, compared to some other places today, for the overall quality I'd order these myself next time! No issues with delivery either, it took about 45 minutes for cupcakes to arrive (the delivery location was about 20 minutes away driving from the host's home). read more

Open past 9pm with the most delicious looking cupcakes and other sweets. I needed something for my ride home from QED. Ended up going home with the Galaxy sundae. This was a cup of shortbread cookie crumbles, Oreo cookies crushed, cream cheese, chocolate and Nutella all layered and it was too good! The cupcakes are $3.50 while the brownies are $5 and the sundaes are $6.50. All very reasonably priced. Shout out the to, once again, incredibly patient person who helped us. Had no idea Layers was a thing until now. read more

Cute and spacious store! Many options for cakes and cupcakes, with the cakes being very beautiful. The Ferrero rocher cupcake was really good as the frosting was soft but not too overtly sweet read more

Layers Bakeshop - Astoria - Ferrero Rocher Cupcake - Bakeries Near Me - Astoria, New York

After another amazing Astoria dinner we were in search of a pastry shop and coffees. This place was nearby so we tried it. Not a coffee place nor a typical bakery, they have a number of cupcakes and a variety of cakes. The brownies were quite tasty. And the cakes looked good though we were too full to order any. We did try some of the ice cream which we enjoyed and were surprised that a bakery would provide good ice cream. Unfortunately this wasn't the place to go for coffee. Aside from cold brew the only choice was a machine that provided sweetened and flavored coffees. So there's room for improvement. read more

I've always wanted to try the LI location so I was super excited when I heard they opened up in Astoria! I am a rainbow cookie fanatic AND THEY MAKE THEIR OWN ICE CREAM & guess what flavor they happened to have??? I decided to get one pint of rainbow cookie flavor and one pistachio flavor! They both were pretty good! I believe they are open till midnight so that's a bonus for those with late night cravings like myself hehehe I will definitely come back to try the other desserts! Welcome to Astoria! read more

I may have found my new favorite cupcake. Chanced upon this place while working and I couldn't help but stopped by. I wanted to buy everything but settled for 6 cupcakes. They are all delicious, moist and the frosting is divine! I will trek to Astoria to get these cupcakes again. I will definitely try the other stuff too. Service was great. The ambience of the store is homey. read more

Other bakeries in the area are better. Their "brownies" are just layer cake, and the cake tastes like something I can make from a box.

Mom and Pop shop that has a couple of locations scattered around New York City. The store is nice and bright what a good display of all their goodies. If you want cake though, please note that they do not sell slices though they do have an item where it's cake in a cup. I tried Cadberry milk cake and it's pretty rich and moist without being too sweet. I find that more American style bakeries tend to have a frosting that's pure sugar and this is, still sweet, but not sickly so. Prices are very reasonable, and the staff was very friendly. read more

Absolutely delicious Birthday Cake ! Ordered Red Velvet - 8" layer cake. My husband is a chef and he was blown away by the flavor and moistness of cake and the frosting / filling ! Me too ! I am picky about cakes and this one was awesome ! The owner worked with me on decoration : Golden Lab , and it came out perfect!! Communication was excellent and he was patient with my questions. It was rather last minute and he worked with me so I was able to pick it up exactly when I needed it. I will be ordering again and can't wait to try a chocolate cake. read more

Paid $235 via Zelle for a custom cake. The baker ignored my specific flavor requests and substituted flavors without consent. When I asked for a resolution, I was met with rude and insulting behavior. I would NOT recommend this business. read more

I was looking for desserts the other day when I came across this place. This is by far one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. The frosting to cake ratio is beyond perfection. read more

This is a great addition to Astoria, glad I finally got to try it and all I can say is WOW! So far I only tried 2 brownies and they're not regular brownies, they're out of this world! The malt one is my favorite, the Nutella one is really good too, they're both super moist and delicious. The inside is very clean and modern, the staff is very nice and service was quick! Next time you're craving something chocolate-y this is the spot! read more

Layers was marketed as Astoria's only Pakistani bakeshop, so we were eager to try it out after lunch at a nearby pizzeria. What we found on display was disappointing, short on options and quality. We ordered some small chocolate pastries, which you can see in my photo. They were rock-hard and not worth the money. I don't think we will be back! read more

Absolutely delicious! Their cupcakes and cakes are hands-down the best I've ever had. The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance makes every visit a treat. read more

What a fun addition to the neighborhood! Bright and clean location with super friendly staff that were helpful suggesting flavors and answering all of my questions. They have 3 other locations on Long Island and their cakes/frosting are lighter than other options around. I got the salted caramel and Belgian malt - but so many other flavors were calling to me! A lot of the frosting is cream cheese based but it is whipped, light and airy. As a sweets person who doesn't *love* cream cheese frosting, I enjoyed the texture and flavor of this kind. FYI, the cupcakes are heavy on the frosting (as you can see) so I would take that into consideration when ordering. I don't mind but I know some people do. Anyway, I will definitely be back to try more. I am looking forward to trying their "sundaes" which are layered cake cups. They are open from 10 am until midnight everyday so my waist is in trouble! read more

Just moved into the Queens/Astoria area and I haven't taken the time to explore yet but I did see this place on insta and wanted to give it a try. It's actually closer to my boyfriend so I had him pick some things up before he met up with me. We got 4 cupcakes; the carrot cake, swiss dark chocolate, salted caramel, and Ferrero Rocher. Along with the galaxy sundae and the strawberry cheesecake. Cupcakes first - so it looks like there's a lot of cream and frosting which there is BUT they do really goes with the cake part. Although, this is all different for each cupcake, I noticed for the carrot cake and salted caramel the frosting was lighter and fluffy while the chocolate cupcakes' frosting was heavier and more dense. Not too sure if it's due to it being chocolate but I personally would have like it to be light as well. All the cupcake , cake itself are pretty moist and not overly sweet. Actually the cupcakes aren't too sweet overall. The sundae (which isn't really a ice cream sundae) is like a layered cake in a cup. Each layer is something different and has a different texture. It was good but for me that was too sweet for me and I got tired of it TBH. I haven't tried the ice cream yet so review of that soon to come! read more

The cupcakes are really good here! We got a box of 6. My favorite was the lotus biscoff and cookies and cream. Will definitely be ordering again! read more

Every time I've passed by there has been no one inside. With all the good reviews thought we would give this a chance. Ordered cupcakes and they were strange. The strawberry didn't taste like strawberry. The chocolate was dry. The frosting and cakes tasted like they were vegan and gluten free. Although I've had vegan and gluten free that were better than this. Didn't finish the cupcakes. read more

We used to commute to Long Island all the time to get their dessert so opening up one in Queens has been the best thing they ever did. We are so excited we can order from here every time we have dessert cravings. Our go-to is the galaxy sundae cups which are AMAZING! We've only ordered from Uber and their service is quick. Looking forward to trying other items off the menu and seeing the store in person. read more

Such a great spot! Loved everything I got here (salted caramel cupcake, Ferraro richer cupcake , lotus tres leches sundae). Will def be returning to try more things! The shop is cute inside and the staff is friendly. read more

A new bakery has popped up in Astoria a few stores down from tellys taverna and it's worth a visit. Nice and bright with plenty of tables and cushion chairs to sit while you enjoy some sweet treats. Cup cakes , brownies , PIES, CAKES, ice cream , pudding cups and much more .it's chocolate paradise here as Nutella, Belgium chocolate , hazelnut, etc, in he mix plenty in the products .All is displayed in the covered glass displays and the staff are more then happy to give a bit of what's what's in each treat . I picked up 6 assorted small cupcakes and a white chocolate looking type cake which was 40 bucks and worth every penny. You won't find low quality sweets here and many folks including myself appreciates that . Very good addition to area and I will be back to grab a few containers of sherbert and ice cream and I can't forget the brownies . read more

Has anyone experience not receiving their change back if you paid with cash at one of their locations ?

this is the worse company to work with. I placed an order and communicated via text was not told about a no refund policy. went ahead and text about My order and was met with unprofessional behavior from the person via text. now I want my money back and they act like they can't give back 75 dollars. I order 3 weeks ago and got no confirmation when my order was ready. this company is unprofessional and not worth it. read more

I looove the "galaxy", it is like heaven in a cup. The perfect combination of cream and crumbs for all chocolate lovers. Must try!

Such a cute place. So many choices of flavored cupcakes. They also sell ice cream but to go, wish they sold it by the scoop. Giving how amazing their cupcakes were I can only imagine their ice cream. Friendly service . Highly recommend. read more

Slices are good but they are sweet! They sell out quickly so go early to see what you want they do have a variety of options. The coconut slice was very good but still sweet. The ice cream is homemade in LI but beware it is full of junk. It's not the standard cream, sugar, flavor etc it's got lots of other additives that I wouldn't expect from homemade ice cream. read more
