I finally left the confines of Riverside to check this place out today. Truly awesome. My girlfriend and I shared a piece of red velvet cake and a Jeff Square. The desserts were great, as well as their iced coffee. We really loved the appearance and atmosphere. We may even go back tonight to check out the bar!
On a side note, we drove around Springfield and we were both really impressed with the area. Seeing photo essays and pieces about the improvements in Springfield do not due it justice on how much it has improved. I have lived in Jacksonville since 85 and driving through Springfield today has really given me a new prospective of that neighborhood.

Thanks for taking the time to check out Three Layers and Springfield today. The neighborhood has really come a long way.

Just got back from Three Layers again. Not to sound like I have stock in the place but the wine bar setup is awesome. The mix between the bar, the coffee house, and garden is great. You can really see the connectivity of the Springfield residents in there, as many of them seem to know each other. Also the staff there was incredibly friendly and very eager to talk to us about their neighborhood. I will definitely be going back again. Hopefully as the neighborhood continues to grow and the economy bounces back, more commercial places like it will spring up.

When my girlfriend and I went in today Jeff served us. It was just simple customer pleasantries though. Tonight however we talked mainly with a bartender, whose name I don't recall, but he provided excellent service and was extremely friendly. I really suggest for all those people who have seen the many things on this site about this place, but haven't gone, to motivate and head over sometime. It is definitely worth the trip.
If you do go you have to try the hummus. My girlfriend and I think its the best we have had.

 yeah, I still like to stop in at the Walnut Inn from time to time - but they don't have the Jeff's Squares!

whenever my band plays there it's always a great experience. recently, i had a performance at another venue and could not play until i had a 4 berry smoothie! I drove from Arlington to get my smoothie and chill a bit.
Jeff and Shawn are great!
