The Super Popular Dessert Shop That’s Always Packed! 🍰✨

Layered. is blowing up on Instagram—even during their soft opening, the line was crazy long! They restock cakes at 7 AM, 12 PM, and 5 PM. If you want to snag the strawberry cake 🍓, you’d better arrive 30–45 minutes early. (I got there 20 minutes before and still missed out 😅) As for the taste—pretty good! Not overly sweet, which is a win. If there’s no line, it’s definitely worth trying. The vibe inside is lovely, and the coffee is quality, too! ☕❤️ • Glazed Matcha Cake: $9 • Lemon Cake: $13 🍋 Heads up: the cakes melt pretty easily, so snap your pics quickly! My lemon cake’s glaze had already cracked open by the time I got the box. Gotta hand it to the Asian community—they know how to market! Even on a rainy weekday, there was a crowd of people lining up… guess not everyone’s at work 😉 At first I thought it was the famous Korean “Cafe Layered” (you know, the one with the cute dog logo!), but the interior and menu here are totally different. Have you been to Layered. yet? Which cake would you want to try most? Share below! 👇 #DMVArea #DMVLife #DCFoodFind #CoffeeShop #FrenchPastry #FairfaxEats #DessertTherapy #CafeVibes #SweetToothDMV
