Annie's does really good and reliable alternations. I have been using her for years! I do suggest you call ahead to confirm your item is ready as sometimes deadlines get pushed, but, she is ALWAYS reliable when I have a solid due date! I am always happy with her work! read more

Annie's is expensive af. Threw away my hangers even though she told me to leave them to not waste hers. Worst of all, did not get the small stain out of my blazer which is the reason I brought it in. Just don't. read more

I think that this dry cleaning service is a bit pricier than the others that I've been to. I took in a comforter to be washed, and they charged me about $40. In the past I've been charged $20 at different dry cleaners for the same comforter. It took me over a week to get my item cleaned, and even when I came in the first time, it was not ready. However they were very reasonable and offered me a discount. Overall, my comforter was clean at the end, and I do not have any complaints in this area. read more

I brought some shirts in here to get pressed because Annie's had the lowest price I could find. I also brought in one blazer with a small spot on the cuff of one sleeve. When I dropped off the items I brought my own hangers so they didn't have to use any of their wire ones and clearly explained this and they took them. Cleaning the blazer took longer than I was told it would, so I had to make 2 trips. When I came to pick up the second time, they hadn't used my hangers (12 of them) and had no idea where they were. The blazer did not appear to be any cleaner than when it arrived, but it was hung on a wire hanger and wrapped in plastic. If anything, I think they sealed the spots in permanently so my wife is out a blazer and we're down 12 hangers. No attempt to address these issues was made. Forget Annie's (or any dry cleaner for that matter) and pick up a Dryel kit on Amazon. You'll save time and money. read more

I wanted my new silk curtains pressed so they would hang well without the package creases. They did an excellent job for a reasonable price. She was friendly and it didn't take that long. read more

Went here faithfully for over a year. They ruined a new silk top. She sends it out and tried not to take responsibility. I refused to leave until I was compensated since it was new and worn only once. Thankfully she did finally reimburse me after she saw I wasn't going to leave empty handed. But then told me I couldn't return. Did she think I was going to?? Time to find a new dry cleaner! read more

If you're fine with waiting more time than stated when you drop off your items then this is your place.. I dropped off 4 pairs of jeans to be hemmed and brought in at the ankles on Thursday afternoon. She said they would be ready to go the following Wednesday at any time.. well I show up Wednesday at 3:45 pm to pick them up and they're not ready. She told me to come back in an hour because she had 2 more of my items to do. I came back an hour later and tried my items on to make sure they were done correctly. 2/4 were fine but the other 2 needed to be brought in more. She said she could do them and be ready the following day.. I picked them up the next day and should've tried them on in person. I just got home and tried them on and one ankle is almost a whole inch longer than the other one. I specifically said these needed to be done correctly for work the following week. :( bummed to have wasted my time when I will still need to get these fixed. I will be taking my items to someone else to fix them as this place has been more of a stress than fix for me. I should've listened to the other reviews before coming in. Unfortunately this is not the seamstress or cleaners for me. read more

Another cleaners told us my daughters dress was not fixable. Annie fixed it right up with no problem. Thank you Annie it was beautiful. read more

Annies Cleaners - We took my daughters prom dress to a few cleaners to get altered and we were told the dress was bad. Annie made it look beautiful. Thank you - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Oceanside, California

This shop is in a convenient location and all my items turned out looking clean and fresh. However, I brought in a holiday sweater that has multiple beading and flowers attached (definitely a challenge to be cleaned). The sweater was not ready the day I told to come in (about a week after I dropped off). The owner or employee apologized and told me to come in the next day for it. I came in the next day and it was still not ready. Finally, on the third day, after calling in first, my sweater was ready. This place is great for basic jackets/ blazers but maybe not the right choice for complicated or beaded items. read more

Miss Annie always comes through. I had her fix a dress for my daughter a few years ago for her prom and she came through. So impressed. Then I brought an outfit to her on Wednesday and asked if it could be altered by Saturday and she had material to match it perfect couldn't even tell the outfit was altered. It fit great and I felt amazing. Thank you so much Annie read more

The place was so unkept. So I was VERY disappointed and surprised that she was going to charge me $25 to hem a simple dress.

I have used Annie's for alterations. They have hemmed up my son's suit pants for prom within two days. They also hemmed his suit for church. My daughter's prom dress didn't quite fit right, and they took it in. It looked great. read more

If you are in need of a good cleaners and live in the tri-city/Carlsbad area this is the best dry cleaners. Took a few blazers, some had makeup around the neck line and when I went to pick them up they looked brand new. Not only great cleaning but the cheapest around too! read more

She can't figure out how to get an item back on time. Item she said would be ready in a week. Came by following week and not ready. Waited another week, called to confirm ready she said "tomorrow". I arrived to pick up the next day and again she said not ready. Extremely unreliable and unable to keep items promised organized. read more

I've been there three times and every time, it's been great work, with a friendly face and smile! She's my go-to!

I 100% wouldn't recommend this place, especially if you have an upcoming trip. I gave them a week to fix my bag- but they didn't do anything. My bag ripped as soon as I got home. She then had the audacity to make me pay full price, because she said she doesn't give discounts. Go somewhere else, it's not worth giving them your money. read more

Good customer service we going there for some time now always a smile and very friendly very satisfied with the service

They got all the stains out of my favorite white shirts that I never thought would come out. Excellent job!!

We've been looking for a local place to take my dry cleaning and alterations to since moving to Oceanside late last year. Really impressed with this cleaners. Had them do some alterations, and the owner seems to know what you want even though she doesn't speak good English. Fairly quick turnaround too, as it seems like she wants to know when you want them done rather when they'll be able to get to them. In the past my experience has been to just accept the date the place says they'll be ready. In a nutshell: you pretty much dictate when you want to pick up. Great customer service and always greeted with a smile. read more

Last Saturday, I dropped off my faux leather weekender bag because the zipper to the main compartment needed to be replaced. When I brought it in, she said they could do it for $15. I thought that was pretty reasonable. We talked about how I use this bag often so it'd be nice to have a heavy duty zipper. She asked when I needed it by (I asked if possible in a week) and she said they would have it by Thursday. I thought she was so nice! Well...today I called to see if by chance it was done. Just a day early-no biggie if it wasn't. She said it was ready for pick up. I was so excited. Drove there and come to find out... the zipper was the same! It wasn't replaced just repaired. I reminded her of our previous conversation. She said no, that they don't replace zippers on anything that isn't clothes. I wish she would've said that before!! I would've gone somewhere else that could. She said the repair was still $15. I've personally repaired this bag multiple times with a few pliers and it only last a little while before it breaks again. Hence wanting the replacement. I told her she didn't do what I wanted. She got upset and told me to just take the bag. I offered to pay half the price since she did work on my bag. She refused and said she doesn't do discounts. I either pay the full price or leave. So I I left feeling really disappointed. Now I don't have time to get it replaced before my vacation read more

I am so thankful I found Annie's! I am maid of honor in a wedding this weekend and tried on my dress again on Tuesday night and it did not fit any more. The dress would not zip 2 days before I was leaving for the wedding in Arizona so I was panicking. I showed up on Wednesday morning at 8am and thankfully she said she could do a rush job and assured me it could be ready next day. She got the job done by 3pm next day and did it all for a really reasonable price. The dress fits great now and she did a really great job on it. I highly recommend you take your clothes here. She is just the best!! read more

This is where I get all of my sewing done. I'm ripping and tearing stuff all the time and I bring it over here and it's only two or three dollars to get my gloves repaired. Wetsuit. Etc. Love it. read more

My son decided he was going to be a hockey goalie weeks after we received his $$$ player jerseys. They barely fit over the larger goalie pads and he was extremely uncomfortable. I took them to Annie's and she was able to add some of the matching hockey socks to the sides and armpit areas to essentially add 2 sizes to the jerseys. The work is impeccable, you would never know it didn't come direct from the warehouse. And the cost for both was extremely reasonable. Thank you Annie, we're sure to get a few seasons out of them and you saved me so much money. Mom of the Year award!! read more

I went to Annies cleaners to have a bridesmaids dress hemmed. She charged less than most cleaners in the area. She kept the material from the bottom as asked and even re-sewed the sloppy sewing job I had done myself on the strap at no additional charge. The seamstress was very cheerful and eager to please. I will definitely be using her again. read more

I tried 3 other cleaners upon moving to Carlsbad one year ago, and Annie's was the chosen place! The owner is friendly, expedient, competent and has done really fine dry cleaning, plus her alterations are extremely professional. I am totally pleased with her work and highly recommend her shop. read more

Tailored my wifes size 10 dress to size 3 and she was so happy. Done in a few days. Charged $30 bucks.

She hemmed dozens of West Elm Belgian linen curtain panels (some with blackout lining) for me, and did a fantastic job! She is sweet and fair in her pricing. I will definitely be back. read more

Uses white thread on any color, including jeans. her sewing machine is not calibrated correctly; stitches are not sewn properly. I asked her to measure my legs (one is longer than the other) but she still hemmed them the same length. Will not go back. read more

Cannot believe this place got 5 stars. I dropped two pairs of pants off to have pant legs made shorter on a Thursday and was told they would be done the following Wednesday. Well they were not ready and was then told they would be done by 2:00 pm. Well after making two trips they still were not ready. When you add in the cost of the work and the wasted gas and the time spent the cost of the pants tripled. Be Careful of Yelp reviews! read more

When it comes to alterations Annie is the best, I went to many other cleaners for alterations but no one can do what she does. She's amazing i recommend this lady any time. All of my friends go to her. She's AMAZING read more

Just came here for dry cleaning and alterations! I needed a very quick turn around on my alterations and Annie's made it happen. My dress fit perfectly and I was thrilled to get everything on time. read more

I have been going to Annies for over 5 years now. We moved offices, but not dry cleaners as they are the best! I have gotten pants hemmed, dresses altered and their dry cleaning/laundry service is 2nd to none! read more

Love Annie and her alteration work. We had someone in Vista we used for years and she closed up shop. It took me a longtime to find a replacement, but Annie has filled that gap! Annie is the best I have found between Vista and Oceanside. read more

I called six cleaners/alterations listings in Yelp to find someone who could alter our daughter's prom dress inexpensively. It was a high/low dress with two layers so it wasn't a quick hem. Annie's was recommended to us by a nearby alterations place that does much more customized jobs (wedding, etc.). We stopped in to Annie's and told her what we wanted. She made a couple suggestions to make the dress flare better and adjust he hem so there was a better transition from the one color layer to the other. Wow - never even noticed that minor detail but it made a huge difference. Total cost was $35 and it was done on time, pressed and ready to wear. Annie (if that's her real name?) was so friendly and nice and really wanted everything to be perfect. She was easy to work with and remembered exactly who we were when we came back in to pick up the dress. I would highly recommend this cleaners and will certainly drive the extra few miles to go to her for anything I need. Trustworthy, reasonable, professional, and timely. You DO get what you pay for! read more
