Opened in April of 2018, Layla’s features an assorted menu of high-quality baked goods, ranging from European pastries, eclairs and cakes to retail bread loaves, and uses whole grains to make all of its bakery items. They also have a small brunch menu, which incorporates many seasonal ingredients, and sources prooducts from other local businesses in the area.
