I have been taking my formalwear here for years. Today I brought a sweat- and blood-stained silk shirt in and the lady who helped me informed me that in their experience, 100% silk stained by underarm sweat, where the body's toxins are excreted, degrades the fabric the longer it is left on, and silk especially will sometimes shred in the dry cleaning process. She recommended that I take it home to handwash. I so appreciate their expertise and ethics! The white dress shirt and pants I was picking up are whiter than I've ever seen them. The shirt came to me used and had tree sap stains that I thought were permanent because they've been there for 2+ years. Less than $15 later, I have essentially a new outfit for work. Thanks Berkland Cleaners! read more

They handled two sensitive items: my Masters graduation robe/attire and a delicately beaded formal gown. They were flexible on how quickly I needed my robe pressed, and they seemed comfortable taking a beaded dress for dry cleaning without having us sign wavers that the beading may come undone. They did a great job on both. The service is also awesome, and highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable dry cleaner. read more

We don't do a TON of dry cleaning, but when we do, we always come here. The couple that own the shop are super friendly, and they always do a great job with our dry cleaning and alteration needs. We also love that they're eco-friendly! read more

I stepped in yesterday afternoon with a suit, a jacket, two shirts, some pants, and a lot of fear. The man working in the front assured me there's nothing to be worried about and that he would have everything ready by the next morning at 8 AM. Amazing work, very early as promised, and with a smile on his face. I could not recommend this place more. To top it off, I came in in the morning at 8 AM, with my graduation stole, which had been folded by the embroidering company, panicking, a little more again, and he again assured me that there is nothing to be worried about and pressed it right there on the spot without a moments notice. Amazing people, and a great business. Don't look any further. read more

This place is the real deal. The service is excellent, the prices are quite reasonable when you consider they focus on using non toxic chemicals that are good for their workers and also your clothes. The people that own it are an absolute delight to work with and they can turn your clothes around quickly when you need them to. I've used them for everything from shirt laundry, dry cleaning, alterations and repairs and they always deliver to a very high standard. The one time they didn't get it right first time it was no big deal and they turned it around immediately with no additional charge. They are also very good at managing expectations. I took in a jacket that had a bunch of stains in it and they said it might not come out, but they managed to get 95% of the stains out. I love supporting small businesses when I can and Berkland is a great example of a local business that gets it very right, all the time. read more

The owners were so kind and helpful. We dropped a few suits and slacks off on a Tuesday to be dry cleaned and pressed for a wedding on a Saturday. They let me know it was possible. Ended up calling a day earlier to check in and guess what? They let me know it was already ready for me! I came in that day to pick it up and it was super affordable. About $60 for (2) slacks, (5) suit jackets, and (1) dress shirt. Incredible! Will definitely be using them again for all my dry cleaning needs! read more

This place is the best. Always on time. Always quick and super efficient. They know exactly what they're doing. I have zero complains about this place. They deserve all the business they get. read more

I had to drop off a grad dress for my girlfriend and we needed it the next day. They were able to accommodate at a very reasonable price and the service was great. Overall great dry cleaning experience and I would recommend. read more

I am SO impressed with the integrity of this business. They dry cleaned a shirt of mine, and it accidentally got ruined. They very proactively offered to pay me for it, and did so immediately. I just don't think most businesses have this level of integrity these days. And I'm now a forever customer. read more

They were great. Good customer service. Dropping and picking things up is super easy. They always get the job done right everytime. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my clothes. read more

Good value. I should've told them I need it early so they didn't do it last day. Area seemed little sketch but enough space there to drop off and pick up quick. read more

This is a great dry clean option if you want to avoid chemicals. Expensive - but worth it!

Went in here looking for my mustang jacket to cleaned correctly and they where more then able to make that happen for great customer service and work 10/10 please check them out read more

I've gone to Berkland twice now both for dry cleaning and some light tailoring. The staff are so kind, friendly, and helpful and so far they've always gotten things done a day before they anticipated. I hope to be a customer for years to come. read more

I came her several times to have various items cleaned and they were great. Unfortunately, I took my wedding dress here and it was accidentally washed with a red blouse and got red splotches on it. This was of course devastating to me. The owner offered to replace my dress, which I declined since the dress worn the day of my wedding is irreplaceable. Instead, he compensated me for the price of my dress. He was genuinely apologetic and it was really just an unfortunate mistake. I imagine they'll take extra care when cleaning wedding dresses in the future, but I might consider finding a place that specializes in wedding dresses if that's the service you're looking for. read more

I purchased these dresses on Poshmark for $30 and $60, these are $200 dresses. There were so many stains that i didn't notice at first until Berkland started to point them out, and tape each spot. Under the hem it was dirts. I got them back a week later, and they feel and look sooooo good! I'll definitely be bringing my other dresses here. I can't wait to wear these. read more

Don't trust them with expensive or delicate garments. Got mine back with their neck tags ripped off and hanging. Will never be back.

I've been a loyal customer of Berkland Cleaners for the past 8 years, and I can't recommend them enough! Julia and team are wonderful. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and my clothes always come back looking flawless. I've never had to worry about stains they couldn't handle or garments being returned late. If you're looking for a dry cleaner you can trust, this is the place to go. read more

Very friendly and so much better for your health. They also do alterations. I just wish the turnaround was faster. But it's probably pretty standard. read more

Have brought suits and several oversized items here for cleaning. They provide consistently good service and items are always ready on time. I only have an efficiency sized washer at home so cleaning blankets has been a challenge. Pricing on washing blankets seemed a bit high but I don't have any basis for comparison other than intuition so I'm not going to reduce my rating. They took the time to go over care instructions/recommendations for an older wool blanket we have. We would recommend them as the best experience I've had with a local cleaners to date. Thanks read more

Amazing customer service all done with a smile, is what you will find at Berkland Cleaners. I was in town for a graduation ceremony, and called Breakland first thing on a Friday morning. I asked if they provided one hour cleaning services, and they were incredibly accommodating, and asked that if I brought the items in by noon, that they would have them back to me by close of business Friday. Perfect! I was able to get there earlier than anticipated, and drop the items off. One was a graduation robe, and the other was a graduation stole. The lovely woman behind the counter, was very understanding and accommodating. When she saw that the two items were for graduation, she understood the rush, and was even more accommodating, and said that she would have them ready within a couple of hours. The customer service was impeccable, and I hate to say, better than the service that I receive from the two cleaners that I frequent close to home. The prices were super reasonable, at around $12 for two items for one day service. They don't have prices posted or listed anywhere, so it's quite possible that they charge less for regular cleaning. Regardless, The prices were pretty reasonable, especially for more unique items. Everything is done in house by this family owned cleaners. Street parking is available, and you truly won't find better service, and quality service anywhere like this. When I arrived several hours later to pick the items up, they were so perfectly done, I was seriously grateful for the quality of work. Thank you, Berkland Cleaners! read more

You can't find a more friendly place! I've been going to Berkland Cleaners for years now and the service is always top notch. The prices are fair and the turn around times are fast. There's plenty of street parking to quickly drop off and pick up. I've also heard wonderful things about the tailoring services. Earlier this week I dropped off my suit coat for an upcoming wedding and just picked it up today. As usual, it's very clean, smells wonderful and is ready to wear! read more

As a wedding professional, (floral) I have referred many a bride to this establishment, each with an excellent outcome. If you visit, you will see the sheer volume of wedding dresses that have been entrusted to them, and have been beautifully cared for. As for straight-up dry cleaning - EXCELLENT. I have handed these lovely people some challenges over the last few years, (I run an Airbnb & buy stuff at Goodwill frequently) and they have resolved every one. I can't say enough good stuff! read more

Previously, we took our dry cleaning to Rockridge Cleaners, next to Safeway, and were satisfied. Then I got a stain on a silk dress that had been made for me for my wedding 10 years ago. Rockridge was unable to remove the stain. I Googled "best dry cleaners" and someone wrote that Berkland Cleaners removed a stain from a silk garment that had been dry cleaned two years ago! I decided to try them and am I glad! All of the stain is completely removed and the dress looks like new. Their prices are fair and the service is great. This is my new cleaner. read more

Had to give another shoutout to Berkland. I am famous for getting spots on the front of my sweaters & blouses, and even if I don't point them out, my items are always returned looking better than new. I especially want to thank them for repairing my old, beat up cashmere sweaters. Because of their expert services, my cashmere sweaters have lasted year's longer than their predecessors. Once again, thank you Berkland read more

The owners of Berkland Cleaners are amazing! Their work is of the highest quality and they care about the details. They are my go-to's for alterations and repairs. Their work is unmatched! read more

This is my local spot for cleaning and some simple alterations. Friendly, organized, on-time. Thank you Berkland

I have been to different types of dry cleaners for professional clothing and the way the clothing feels after is almost always the same. But when I got my blazers back from Berkland, the texture of the clothing felt different than normal. It seems to have help smoothen out the fabric. I genuinely think this difference , which you can physically feel when wearing the clothing, is from their organic products. I never paid much attention to the types of products or chemicals that my dry cleaners used but their method and products are probably a lot better for preserving the quality and look of your clothing. On pricing it is actually comparable if not cheaper than similar places. In short, I would only use this place in Berkeley or east bay because of their products. read more

I dropped off a dress shirt I needed to clean after a wedding on Friday morning. Wasn't in a huge rush to get it back but it sounds like rush service is an option. I stopped by the following Tuesday to pick up my shirt and it was good as new. For around $2.50, I can't think of a better place to get your garments cleaned. Super nice staff - would highly recommend. read more

Not only Friendly and honest customer service, but their seamstress/ tailor is fabulously talented! I had a wedding in September to attend, and the first seamstress I took the dress to, made it unbearably tight. I couldn't sit down. In a typical situation, one could go back and have it corrected, however in this situation the previous seamstress thought she did a perfect job, was rude about it, and in full disclosure I thought she would sabotage the dress in some way. I couldn't risk this because the wedding was only a week and a half away, so I came to Berkland cleaners where they'd worked on some of my items before! I walked in hoping she could save my dress and loosen it a bit so that I could sit and enjoy the evening. I ended up crying because of stressed I was from my previous experience (again from a different seamstress) and she said that it wouldn't be a problem and that she could certainly turn it around in time for me to catch my flight. She kept the integrity of the dress and I was able to dance and have just a lovely time! Seriously wish I had taken a video or photo of the before situation!! This was more of an occasion dress, but she's also done more casual dresses of mine too! Hemmed pants, taken in pants. You name it! I did bring a suite jacket, but she recommended I go to a tailor who is more of an expert in suites for what I was specifically looking for. I also love the she is very attentive to your concerns and thinks about the cost!! I cannot remember my prices for any of these services but they have never been outrageous! I also overheard her chatting with another customer about a dress and said "there's a lot of work and I don't want you to over pay" which I thought was very sweet! Not sure what came of that interaction, but I know the seamstress would be willing to try something even if she doesn't think it will execute the way you want. For example I wanted her to take out some shoulder pads from a man's blazer, and she felt it wouldn't look like what my vision was, however I asked her if shed still be willing to try, and she said not a problem. She was right, haha, my vision did not come to fruition, so I'll have to go to a true mens suiting tailor for this specific project. But we tried! They also do a lovely dry cleaning job as well, gentle and typically remove the stains I come in with! Seriously could'n be happier with their services and will continue to travel to have my items taken care by them! read more

I liked their service and I was bit impressed as well. I would try them out for sure in future as they seem reliable. read more

I've been bringing my clothes and bedding to Berkland Cleaners regularly for a year, and they consistently do an outstanding job.

For example, I had to fly out-of-town unexpectedly for a family emergency and they kindly rushed my order before my flight. For this I am very grateful. Thank you, Berkland Cleaners! read more
