Layered is a dessert cafe in Seoul which has an amazing scones and cakes selection. Dessert lovers are in for a real treat here.
It has the most impressive scones line-up we’ve ever seen. There are 13 different types of English scones (both savoury and sweet) as well as a dozen rustic English cakes on display.
Cafe Layered has 2 outlets in Yeonnam-dong and Bukchon (near Anguk station). You can also find it at The Hyundai Seoul’s food hall.
We dined at Cafe Layered’s outlet at Yeonnam-dong when we were exploring the quaint neighbourhood. The cafe is in a two-story bricked building which is located at 223-20 Yeonnam-dong in Mapo-gu.
Some of the scone flavours (prices range from 4,500 – 5,00 won) include:
Classic Butter Scones
Fresh Milk Cream Scones
Matcha Scones
Cranberry Cream Cheese Scones
Sweet Pumpkin Cream Cheese Scones
Basil Pesto Scones
Double Chocolate Scones
Spring Onion Cream Cheese Scones
Cinnamon Pecan Scones
Caramel Butter Scones
Earl Grey Fig Scones
Strawberry Compote Scones
Frankly, everything looked amazing and it was a challenge trying to pick from this line-up. If you like savoury scones, the Spring Onion Cream Cheese Scone is the bestseller at Cafe Layered. We had the Earl Grey Fig Scones and it was absolutely delicious.
The options for the rustic English cakes (7,500 – 8,000 won) include:
Dark Chocolate Cake
Carrot Cake
Cherry Chocolate Cake
Mango Cake
Red Velvet Cream Cheese Cake
Victoria Butter Cream Cake
Blueberry Cheesecake
Sweet Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake
Black Forest Dark Chocolate Cake
Juicy Lemon Home Party Cake

Do note that you need to order a drink per person regardless of the number of cakes and scones that you get.
