    Customer service is exceptional. Best homemade doughnuts I've had in a very long time. I regret not…read morebuying more as I was leaving town.

    Like much of tupper lake very racist. I am of mixed race and I am use to the racism. But this place…read morewas one of the worse I felt horrible when I left there. I first went in with my laundry and said good moring, no one responded. There was a short haired woman and a man. I later found out the woman was the owner. I began washing my clothes and went to buy doughnuts the woman seemed utterly furious that I had the audacity to ask, what flavors she had. I bought a coffee as well and not as much as a thank you for my purchase.. not a have a nice rest of hope day... nothing. I ate and took my clothes out of the washer. The woman immediately started sweeping behind me and practically under my feet. She wanted me out. I belive she was talking about me to the man that was there. She was highly upset because there was a small amount of lint from my blanket on the floor. I would of picked it up but she wouldn't let me. She again was speaking about me to the man.. instead of me drying my clothes I took them home to hang up because I couldn't stand the feeling I had being there. I felt embarrassed and I'm not sure why. I brushed it off to get having a bad morning. I wanted to not just brush it off as racism and went back in a few months later but just for donuts she gave me the exact same treatment. I was going to move to tupper lake but found that the racism in this town is real even in 2025. Im sharing this to let others know about my personal experience. I will never go in this place again. I would never want my children or anyone to feel the way I felt at this establishment.

    USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...Beware... rant to follow. TERRIBLE BUSINESS. Many machines out of order. No…read moreaccurate contact information for management. No assistance available on-site and no convenient way of reaching a human being who can help; a tattered paper sign on the wall closes with something like "...management, Kindred Realty." But Kindred Realty doesn't seem to exist any longer. Calling the phone number listed for Kindred Realty now reaches Gentry Realty, who responded that they don't have anything to do with the laundromat. On a Friday morning in September, 2024, with four houseguests arriving in the evening to spend the weekend at our cabin (water supplied by well), I unknowingly used a faulty washer at Shoemaker's Laundramat (which also seems to be referred to online as "Kindred Laundramat) in Boonville, about 10 miles from my home. The multi-load machine had no "out of order" sign on it. I loaded my laundry, inserted the necessary quarters, added detergent and started the machine. When the wash was done, the washer door would not open, no matter how I repeatedly tried to do so. And, there was no way to unplug it (in order to hopefully reset it) because it was plugged into an outlet in the LOCKED basement of the building. I ended up leaving this multi-load washer filled with my belongings after a nice merchant who owns a store in the same tiny strip mall put me in touch with the owner's mother, who said she would contact her son in North Carolina and have him call me. Later that evening, the owner contacted me. He told me he would have the laundry, which included, among other things, a set of queen-size bed sheets (remember... I had houseguests arriving) dried and stored in a locked closet until I could pick it up. The next day, I played phone/text tag with one of the owner's workers, trying to arrange for someone to meet me at the Laundramat to unlock the closet so I could pick up my things. The following day (Sunday), before I had been successful at arranging a pickup, the owner, David May, contacted me via text to tell me his workers had mistakenly thrown my belongings in the dumpster and the dumpster had been emptied. He assured me he would send me a check to cover my losses (which also included previously losing $20 in one of the Laundramat's change machines and trying unsuccessfully to reach the owner for reimbursement). For a minute, I actually thought I was dealing with an ethical person who was simply having difficulty managing a business he was trying to sell from a distance (North Carolina). NOPE. Here it is, 9 months later, I've returned from wintering in the south, having resigned myself to the fact that I was not dealing with an ethical person at all. I'm searching online for a different Laundromat to use this summer. (Oh, and I never received a check or any communication from the owner or his mother). And... up pops yelp reviews of Shoemaker's Laundramat! And, the reviews I read were positive! So, I thought it best to get this off my chest and try to warn others that Shoemaker's Laundramat is not simply mismanaged, it is not managed at all. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    This was a nice little laundromat. We stopped in to do a couple of loads of laundry. The place was…read moreclean, the bathroom was clean. There was a dispenser for soap and a soda machine. They had a table where you could sit and all of the tables to fold laundry were clean. One thing the owner should look at is the bank of white dryers. On the bottom row, the middle dryer started to eat a couple of our clothes. They were getting caught near the door. We could not get our money back from that machine when we moved it to one of the almond dryers. It should be looked at. Otherwise, nice place.

    Anyone who vacations in, or has a seasonal home (without washer/dryer) in the Jay/Wilmington area…read moreknows that there wasn't much in the way of laundry services here unless you wanted to go down to the river and beat your stuff on a rock. Until Riverside Laundromat showed up. First, this place is adorable- wood walls, nice lighting, and CLEAN. Things that might be important to you: They have wifi. Password is on the wall by the change machine. They have a change machine. They also use a card system that can be paid for with cash or credit card. It appears, though, that the machines work with credit card too so I'm not sure of the benefit of their card. I got one anyway. They have two machines that dispense single serve detergent if you need. 6 chairs for waiting. They have a bathroom. 4 laundry carts. A couple surfaces for folding. The price- There are two different sets of washers and dryers- big and small. For the big machine- $5.75 for a "normal" 22 minute cycle- price goes up if you change the temp, choose heavy duty, etc. $3.50 for a smaller machine. I used the larger because I didn't notice the smaller (face palm). The huge dryers are .25 for four minutes. They are nice huge dryers though- could fit a sleeping bag if ya need. Which reminds me, shoulda brought mine. Dang it. The smaller dryers are .25 for five minutes. The only thing that was a bugger using their card is that I chose 30 minutes to dry and had to stand there and swipe their card 6 times because it was only doing 25 cents at a time. They do have a pickup service but you have to call because it wasn't attended when I came by. Excellent place. Beats toting dirty clothes back home!
