A tiny tiramisu hatch is opening in Ancoats this week

A brand-new dessert spot is set to open its doors (or should that be windows) in Ancoats later this week.

Layr is a new business that is selling just one thing, and doing that one thing really well – tiramisu.

The tiramisu hatch is set to open on Thursday 29 January, with a menu of three different tiramisu flavours, each served individually portioned.

This new addition to Ancoats will be serving freshly-made, alcohol-free, Halal desserts, starting off with a classic tiramisu where sponge is soaked in espresso, then layered with vanilla marscapone and cocoa dust.

Layr has also created a new matcha tiramisu, where the sponge is soaked in matcha instead of coffee.

And completing the menu is a pistachio Layr, with pistachio marscapone, nuts, and pistachio sauce.

Layr’s tiramisu hatch on Radium Street is the latest dessert spot to open in this corner of Ancoats, in a building that’s become a bit of an incubator for sweet treats.

The building is perhaps most famous for launching The Flat Baker, who operated out of a corner unit for years before becoming too successful and jumping down the road with their own proper bakery and cafe.

Layr also neighbours Baby Mayhem, famed for its extravagant doughnuts, including its bakes topped with ice cream ‘spaghetti’.

Layr will be open from 5pm until 10pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and from 4pm until 10pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
