Ohhh, I have been sleeping on this place. No longer. Visited in September 2024 and tried pretty much the whole menu of pastries:+ LKA+ raspberry pistachio+ butterscotch Cruffin+ Plum financier+ Ham & cheese+ Boston cream donut+ Brown butter crookie+ Classic croissant+ Pain au chocolat Standouts were the raspberry pistachio and ham & cheese. Also loved the filling in the financier, and the brown butter cookie was top notch. Cruffin was another highlight. Iced coffee was alright. Will get the iced purple matcha next time.This bakery is definitely born from the Dominique Ansel/Supermoon Bakehouse era, and they are executing very well. (I've had some baaaad knockoff cruffins/cronuts/croissant hybrids, but this place is killing it.)

Absolutely mouthwatering croissants. We are staying in the local area and I deem this an absolute must stop. The passion fruit croissant is so fresh and fruitful. My partners favorite was the browned butter. Very sweet but partnered well with a nice cup of coffee. The almonds had filling through the entire croissant leaving you satisfied to the max. The peach was something I never had but enjoyed thoroughly. The staff were super accommodating and helpful. The place was easy to find and clean! Very modern! Wish you luck!

While recently visiting Raleigh, I stumbled across this amazing place while searching for something different to try out. I picked up a couple of crossaints and ate them hours later. They were impeccable! In fact, they were sooo good that I returned the next morning and ordered the same ones again, 3 new ones, and a tshirt. Staff was friendly and helpful when asking questions. It is a small shop and they can get pretty busy but I was able to find a seat in there to enjoy my egg danish. The egg danish was served nice and warm w/a flaky crust to soak in all of the goodness! The Knafel pinwheel reminded me of baklava and was a repeat purchase the next day since it was so good! The savory Popeye crossaint was filled with spinach and gruyer cheese in a creamy type sauce. It was another home run for me. The strawberry guava jam filled cruffin hit the sweet spot perfectly for me. It wasn't overly sweet, but just the right amount to complement the flakiness and the lime cream cheese on top was the perfect touch! Last but not least, the brown butter crookie is basically a chocolate crossaint w/cookie dough in the center, which complimented the crossiant amazingly well. The only thing that was a bummer was them not having decaf coffee nor sugar free syrup options. Not nearly enough for me to remove a star over. I'm glad that I live several hours away because this place would for sure help me find the extra weight that I lost years ago. Lol. They are closed Mondays and Tuesdays and close at 2 pm the days they are open. So get in early!

Super cute. Croissant/coffee shop! I stopped by here on the way out of Raleigh this weekend after seeing it on Instagram. I picked up a couple ham & Gruyère croissants to go. they had some really tempting specials (s'mores, banana etc) but I stuck with a classic option. wish I had been able to stay and eat them fresh but I was a little pressed for time. Service was great- only waited a few mins for them to heat up the order before I was out on the road. Flavor wise, they were tasty and fresh and so perfectly flaky. I do think the filling could have been a bit more robust, but overall they delivered. A bit pricy (after tax/tip, it came out to about $15), worth the splurge/to try but this probably wouldn't be a daily go to for me. Still recommend crossing it off the list though

Absolute bliss. Ex NYCer misses Supermoon = Layered does the trick.We live in Winston so driving 1.5 hours there and 1.5 hours back is worth every penny when we order ahead: it's all about the order the night before! We get those goodies and either eat there and bring them home. This months flavors were fantastic: Frankencube, a passion fruit curd filled cube of buttery croissant layers (could have been more tart but that is a me thing), LKA, a favorite of mine with the sugary buttery goodness, Wednesday Cruffin, the best black current tart and sweet filling, topped with white chocolate whipped cream, Spell on you, an ube whipped and ube cookie delight, and the Carrie Donut, a perfect bite with soft dough and smooth cream. Service is quick and it's always busy: so much so that they will sell out, so order ahead, bring them home (or be a croissant fairy like me and do friend drop offs) or sit and enjoy the people watching!

I've been here multiple times now and it always treats me right. The flavors are so creative and exciting, you'll always want to come back the next month to try the new ones. The brown butter cookie croissant was the only one we got that's on the regular menu, and you can't go wrong with it. Out of the October flavors I got to try, the great pumpkin was my favorite. I was excited about the pumpkin cream in the middle but found it to be a little lacking. The chai glaze brought everything back though. The service is good, and I love the atmosphere here. It is a little small so be prepared to have to take your treats to go. They also have a nice coffee and tea menu! I'd also like to point out that if there's a specific flavor you want, try to get there early. I went around 11:30 and they were sold out of half their items.

Small cute bakery with the best croissants. They tend to be busy and run out of things if you go in later. But first thing in the morning is a great time to visit. Their classic croissant is amazing as is their almond. I've tried others and they are all yummy.

Layered Croissanterie is one of my favorite places in the Triangle to get a pastry. The inside, though small, is stylish and always clean. Also, the serving staff has always been kind and attentive when we've visited.The highlight is, of course, the croissants. They have a great selection that is consistent between months, in addition to a rotating monthly menu of creative flavors, with fun themes. I've tried both the regular and the special flavored croissants. Neither will disappoint, but my personal recommendation is to try the special flavors. I think they do a great job on them and the fillings are always delicious. As an example, this month's croissants were video game themed. I had a Mario-shino Croissant Muffin, with a creamy cherry filling and a cookie like exterior. It was one of my favorites so far.If you like croissants and you are in Raleigh, Layered is a must try!

Fantastic find! Very evident that the pâtissière is highly trained. Beautiful croissants and delightful baked goods done quite well. Coffee drinks on point as well served in an efficient and friendly manner. This place is managed very well and should not disappoint. We ordered 3 beverages and 5 baked goods to give good measure. The only issue I had some reservation with was the breakfast hash croissant and ham and cheese sandwich served at room temp would have been much better warmed up. Maybe this done on a request basis... but we will definitely be back and will ask for heated items to eat in.
