"There are lots of great sandwiches around town, but not too many fancy ones. At Layers, the sandwiches take themselves seriously—kind of like that one friend of yours who has a handlebar mustache. You'll find barbecue potato chips smushed onto tuna salad, mortadella on a dutch crunch roll, and duck confit buddying up with fried eggs. On the side, things are just as serious, like green goddess-drenched fried fingerlings that momentarily steal the spotlight from the between-bread stuff. It doesn’t get much better than a lazy midday at this busy Green Lake counter. Just don't forget a slice of griddled banana bread on your way out." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"There are two main reasons to head to Green Lake: making good on a goal to walk more, and grabbing a great sandwich at Layers. This sun-filled counter serves between-bread beauties that are totally worth the chaotic line and upscale price tag. Prioritize the Notorious P.I.G., with delicate pork belly slabs and a sticky fresno pepper jelly, or their Captain Rick, loaded with herby tuna salad and a handful of BBQ-flavored potato chips." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

The menu is full of hits like the Notorious P.I.G, with delicate pork belly slabs and a sticky fresno pepper jelly, or their Captain Rick, loaded with herby tuna salad and a handful of BBQ-flavored potato chips. While you’re here, be sure to secure a slice of grilled banana bread, too." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"You can count on any sandwich between planks of herby focaccia here to be a hit. But we also recommend nabbing a side of focaccia spears to go with it. The draw here is the medley of herbs baked into the crust, including chives and scallion greens. That means you get this grassy, mild onion flavor without pesky burnt bits of actual onion. And seeing as Layers has bread-griddling down to a science, you can count on pristine butter-seared marbling." - aimee rizzo
