This place always has massive lines and for good reasons. I decided to stop by basically as they opened up to see if they had a Vegemite Scroll for my partner. I have wanted to check out if they have them for a while but the line to see their pastry selection is typically so long. They didn't have them but I got her their bacon bechamel pastry and my partner really enjoyed it. If you are in Subi and have a bit of time to stand in a line, it is well worth the wait.
โI recently visited and was very impressed. The name "Layers" is fitting, as the pastries, like the one I had (a chocolate croissant with a red-dusted top), are beautifully layered and flakyโtruly a testament to their claim of being "Frenchly Baked." The canelรฉ was perfectly caramelized on the outside and moist on the inside. Paired with a hot flat white, it was the ideal morning indulgence. โThe bakery itself looks modern and inviting, with a nice display of their offerings. It gets crowded on weekends!
This is an update on a Fruit flan I bought that had an inedible base. Having been given the opportunity to try the Fruit flan again I agreed even though the birthday had been impacted. Again, the Fruit flan looked stunning. This time however, the base did it justice. It was a beautiful butter shortbread base baked exactly as it should be. Absolutely delicious and I believe this is the true standard Layers strives for and the staff genuinely care for their customers. Only one negative unfortunately, the Fruit flan was eaten up in a blink of an eye it was that good!
First impression: Layers Bakery I was quite surprised to find this bakery, especially after seeing the pictures of their baked goods - I couldnโt believe I had not been here yet. Anyway, we travelled a good 1.5 hours to get, here, and this is how it went. As we reached this bakery, placed unassumingly into a shopping square, we were met with a queue of people waiting to get their hands on the baked goods- always a good sign. Just like everyone else there, we waited - patiently. (We were overjoyed that most of the baked goods were still available) There was a good energy to the place, there were enough people to give the place a vibe. 4/5 We ended up ordering a few things: 1. Iced latte: Good. Balanced and delicious. 4/5 2. Mortadella pinsa (a kind of airy flatbread with toppings): the base was light and airy but since it was sitting out, it didnโt retain its freshness or texture. 3/5 3. Bacon and parmesan scroll: Generously stuffed with bacon- buttery and with a hint of crispy. But failed to impress. 3.5/5 4. Mont blanc finger: Looked fabulous. The layers on the finger looked pristine. So beautifully made. But the flavours didnโt blow us away. In fact, the chestnut flavour was so mild, it felt like an overpriced cream roll (unfortunately) 2/5 5. Choquette: Light and airy. 4/5 Overall the food looked way better than it tasted. And the prices were higher than usual. 3/5 The service was decent enough. The coffees arrived quick. Polite and prompt. 4/5 Overall 3.5/5 edging into a 3 because of the food.
Absolutely a must visit bakery in Perth. It is located in Subiaco. Tried various of their pastry products and overall they have an exceptional quality. The chocolate eclair was the best one. It's not too sweet and it has an intense chocolate flavour. The choux pastry is also very soft and light, pairing nicely with the luscious pastry cream. The hazelnut paris-brest was also great. They have a nice praline flavour and the pastry cream is very smooth and creamy, paired with the light choux pastry. However, the icing sugar on top made the overall dish slightly too sweet. But overall, it was great. The banoffee tartlet also taste good. The cream on top elevated the whole dish. Adding more creamy elements would make the tart better as the tart shell was quite thick, making the whole tart taste slightly dry. But overall, it has nice flavours. Also ordered the coffee, it taste ok. The staff here are also friendly. They also have seatings if you want to dine in the place. The display could be set up better. As you need to line up to buy the products, some of the products displayed (in front, such as the tarts, eclairs, choux pastry, etc) are not in the line. But that's a minor issue and overall this is a great bakery to visit.
