The island neighborhood of Goodluck Hope celebrates a significant milestone today as it warmly embraces the newest addition to its vibrant community—the waterfront establishment, Layers, which has officially opened its doors.
Operating from Tuesday to Sunday, 8 am to 4 pm, Layers promises a delightful array of freshly made sourdough goods, premium coffees, convenient grab-and-go breakfast options, and a tantalizing all-day brunch menu that evolves with the seasons. Moreover, the venue plans to engage the local community through a series of events and workshops, including pastry classes for adults and cookie-making sessions for children, underscoring its dedication to education and communal involvement.
The brainchild of Chelsea, Giulia, and Faye, Layers is positioned to be a center of creativity and enjoyment, priding itself on its distinctiveness, culture, and genuineness, attracting a clientele with similar inclinations. It also positions itself as a family- and pet-friendly establishment.
To commemorate its launch, Layers has announced a special promotion available from February 20th to 25th, offering customers a complimentary coffee with the purchase of any baked item or brunch dish. Additionally, there is a competition offering the chance to win free brunch for two every month for a year, with details available on the @theislander.e14 Instagram page.
Goodluck Hope, an industrially-inspired riverside development housing 841 new residences, creative spaces, and independent businesses on the Leamouth Peninsula, is hailed for its maritime heritage and cultural diversity. Despite its proximity to Canary Wharf and London City Airport, the area offers a tranquil waterfront lifestyle away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
Faye Weatherburn, one of Layers’ co-founders, expressed her enchantment with the location, citing its enchanting views, waterfront proximity, and historical significance, and expressed eagerness to serve the Goodluck Hope community.
James Boyce of Ballymore praised Layers Bakery’s arrival as a valuable addition to the island’s community, enriching the culinary and cultural offerings for residents and contributing to the neighborhood’s narrative alongside existing independent ventures on City Island.
The opening of Layers in Goodluck Hope is expected to have a significant impact on tourism in the area, enhancing the local culinary scene and elevating the neighborhood’s overall appeal as a visitor destination. From its inception to its operational phase, Layers is poised to play a pivotal role in attracting both locals and tourists, thereby fostering the area’s economic and cultural vibrancy.
