Three Layers Expands with Wine Bar and Zen Gardens

Three Layers is becoming the Little Cafe That Could.

What started as a single room coffeehouse on the East Side of the Historic Springfield District is beginning to blossom into a much larger operation with more diverse products, later hours, and a full entertainment schedule.

And it's getting remarkably busier.

Check out what has become the signature restaurant of the Springfield Neighborhood.

Very good article Stephen!

Absolutely have to agree with everything you had to say in this article. Jeff and Shawn are great guys and their establishment should be a model for all other restaurant-style busninesses in the Springfield area. A few more, smart, hip places like Three Layers and the neighborhood will quickly become a mecca for young, up-and-coming, urban-minded professionals, older, more established mid-career types and hip empty-nesters looking for an excape from the doldrums of suburbia.

Here's hoping for many years of success for Jeff and Shawn!

I visited Three Layers for Overstreet's art show. I am in love with the place and the garden in the back. I even noticed a basil plant in the garden! Overstreet's art show was phenomenal and the place was packed that night.

Do not try the Jeff's squares as they are hopelessly addictive.

only complaint i have is that the girls that work the front counter often get side tracked by conversation with others & don't seem overly customer orientated.

$2 Bold City beer at Happy Hour? SWEET.

This place is by far one of the classiest places in Jacksonville. Anyone looking to start a new restaurant should approach Jeff and Shawn for advice. Quality food and owner engagement in customer service is a must and these two have added a wonderful touch to the neighborhood. It's good to see their business doing so well.

What are their hours? Same for both coffee house and wine cellar?

Wonderful place! I have gotten cakes from them on several occasions and people go APE over them.

FSU813, I have always found the girls at the front counter to be sweethearts. They must have been talking to me when you were there!

I may be checking this out tonight. Nothing better than wine or coffee and a rainy evening with friends.

Now that the owners had to sacrifice their apartment for the expansion, is there any chance they'll be renovating another historic structure in Springfield for a new place to live?

Liberty Street.

^They already bought a house in Springfield, but I wouldn't rule out their participation in future endeavors in the neighborhood. I think they are pretty busy right now.
