Layers Bakeshop Astoria is a dessert shop where sundaes, layered cakes, and shakes lean into maximalism, often built with soft-serve or ice cream folded into the mix. It feels more like a modern sweet shop than a classic scoop counter, but its loaded sundaes have turned it into a neighborhood dessert stop after family dinners.

Layers Sundae, Lotus Three Milk Sundae, Nutella Sundae
