    The owners are lovely. Always a smile and helpful hand. They taught me how to fold king size sheets properly.

    My machines I used. Watch out for #9 - eats quarters without crediting!

    A little bit pricy, but very clean and safe feeling! I appreciate that there is a sink as well.

    A lil grimy. Smaller cheap machines in back used by laundry service. Dryers are 25cents for 6 minute. Rip off. Wash was $2.

    I went searching for a closer dry cleaning option and found Huey's.The staff was so sweet and…read moreshared the story of her accomplished daughters. I so wanted to love this place but ultimately it comes down to the service. I gave it an extra star for the great conversation - she earned it. I dropped off a few items for cleaning and laundry - pretty standard fare but it took more than 2 weeks to get my items back. After a lengthy 1 week stated waiting period. Secondly they weren't cheap, I figured at their prices they would have speedy top tier service, not so much. I did eventually get my items and they were clean and properly handled but it took a while. I will be traveling to my old standby, it's much further from my house but has reliable 2 day wait times (& a rush option!), fair (not cheap) pricing and great energy.

    I've come here for the past 15 years. I generally love this service, and I think the seamstress is…read morereally great. However, I recently had an experience where I had to take two dresses to get altered. I was really limited in time and had to pick up the dress a few days before the event. Three days before the event, I noticed that the dress that I was going to wear had a huge gap in the middle, which means that it had not been closed up after it was altered. In addition, the alteration at the bottom was crooked I reached out to Michelle And notified her and if it was a possibility to come back because the wedding was the next day. Michelle was on vacation for the next two weeks and I needed to find another seamstress. She sent me to someone who was great who was able to fix the centerand was able to steam the dress at the same time. Spent way more than anticipated but I appreciate it her customer service although I am a little upset that this was not the result that I wanted because the dress ended up breaking so I did not end wearing, I would still give her another chance, and hope that this was a fluke. I spent 70$ to get it altered (it was still big), and the bottom was not straight. And then, I spent $20 to get it steamed at the other cleaners.

    I normally go to another spot on University but they were closed on Easter Sunday…read more Since it was still early, made me way on San Pablo and noticed this spot. Parked in front since I was unaware of rear parking. Arrived and only 1 other person washing. Noticed I had to download an app (another one to add to the list) and it was a breeze. I did observed an attendant who was busy with the shop vac cleaning out the dryer vents as well as doing loads of laundry. The area is maintained cleaned and no machines out of order. I did run into an issue and approached the lady who I observed cleaning. Catherine when asked her name reset the dryer since it went crazy after trying to add more time. She reset it and asked me how everything was going. Guess it was obvious it was my first time. Lol Highly recommend and great place.

    ## Review: The Laundry Room (Berkeley & Oakland, San Pablo)…read more I've been to both Laundry Room locations--Berkeley and Oakland--and funny enough, they're both on San Pablo. I actually ended up at the Oakland one by accident (directionally challenged over here!), but I'm glad I did because both spots are equally impressive. Over the past year, I've dealt with housing instability, which means I've spent a lot of time in laundromats across the Bay Area. For me, keeping my clothes clean is a way of maintaining dignity and stability when life feels chaotic. Right now, I'm staying with friends and doing laundry for their whole household every week, so I've become something of a laundromat connoisseur. And let me tell you--The Laundry Room chain is hands-down the nicest laundromat experience I've had anywhere. ### What Makes Them Stand Out - **Top-notch machines**: All brand new, spotless, and seemingly sterilized daily. - **Attendant always on-site**: Unlike most laundromats where you have to call a number and wait for help, here there's always someone present, constantly cleaning and keeping everything in order. - **Cleanliness**: No moldy, grimy machines like you find elsewhere. Everything is sparkling. - **Amenities**: Bathrooms for customers (rare in laundromats!), free Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs with live sports, and even free coffee. - **Atmosphere**: Chill enough that I once brought in some fried chicken from down the block, and no one batted an eye. ### Practical Perks - **Parking lot in the back**: Huge plus in the Bay Area. - **Machine sizes**: No super-small washers here--the smallest is a medium, starting at $5. Perfect for big loads. - **Neighborhood extras**: Right on the block you'll find two fantastic Mexican supermarkets and a fantastic Arab market (house made baklava!) all of which accept EBT. ### Final Thoughts After visiting laundromats all over the Bay, The Laundry Room has become my go-to spot. Between the cleanliness, amenities, and friendly staff, it's a five-star experience every time. Whether you're in Berkeley or Oakland, you'll feel comfortable doing laundry here--and maybe even enjoy it.
