Dryers working their magic

Very clean. Lots of machines. Bathrooms extremely clean. Located next to a dollar general for detergent needs.

If you are in Detroit and need to do some laundry, stop in the Lafayette Laundry. This is by far the cleanest laundry mat I've ever been in. There are a few graffiti murals that brighten the space. There some video games for the kids and sitting space where you can charge your phone. You can either do your laundry yourself or you also the option of a drop off service, which is nice. Overall great place to do your laundry.

They seem to do brisk business here but it isn't usually crammed with people. There's a lot of residential here near the University but almost all the buildings have machines. Still, if someone's already doing laundry or if you wanna knock out multiple loads in an oversized machine CCCL has got you covered. The Bronx Bar and Marcus Market are also conveniently located across the street if you're looking to pick up some essentials or kill time with a brew or burger while doing the wash. This laundromat is clean and bright and now has multiple murals adding splashes of color to the walls. They still rock the classic Ms. PAC Man/Galaga machine. I recommend Galaga as the down on the joystick doesn't work too well and you don't even need that direction for Galaga. Disappointingly, pinball wasn't plugged in on my last visit. Presumably it's out of order. I'd come here more if I actually did laundry when the sun was up instead of during the wee hours.

Even if, you don't need laundry, internet/computer access or help with navigating the various programs to help with property taxes, etc. just come in and grab a coffee and a snack.

All drinks are $4 or less so you can get a delicious espresso, latte, mocha, chai, tea, cold brew, or iced tea without having to break the bank.

I was sketched out about this place for a long time but my first trip was pretty uneventful. It's not in the best neighborhood and I actually explored a couple abandoned houses nearby while my clothes were in the wash. I guess that's actually eventful, huh? Well, nothing eventful happened inside the laundromat or in the parking lot, though. Everything was chill with not many other patrons and the other customers had the same I'm-just-trying-to-get-this-over-with vibe that I did. I did notice a bunch of the machines were broken but that wasn't such a big deal as this laundromat is the size of a small flea market with rows and rows of machines everywhere. My second visit was cut short. Again, no problems with my fellow launderers. I noticed the place had a bit of a funky smell upon entry, but nothing that was worth packing up and leaving over. Then I noticed even more machines were broken. Red flag, but there's still dozens and dozens of washers and dryers. It's when I get to the change machines that I see a sign that says due to "coin shortage" they're not dispensing change. Three of four are lit up red showing they're all out and the lone machine remaining stays true to the taped up sign and won't inhale my dollar. So damn lame. It's 2024 and the "coin shortage" hasn't been a thing for three or four years. You can find it in the mists of the past along with the "murder hornets". So I pushed my cart back out the door to the big metal bar barriers to keep people from stealing them and loaded my clothes and cleaning supplies back into my Jeep to find another late night laundromat that had quarters. So weak! C'mon, Coin-O-Matic! Coin is in your name!!!! Doesn't it imply coins are automatic there?

I was using the $9.75 washers and yea I was using 4 of them is man approach me and asked am I using these washers I told him you see me loading them then he went on and say you need to load one start it and then load the next and start that one. I said no im gonna load them and start them when done loading the last one because I had I couple of dark thing that when in the darks and whites and once you start it you can't open it then I asked him whats your name he said I am the OWNER I told him I asked your name not position so I know who I spoke to. I then asked would you like me to take my clothes out of your machine he said I just don't want the customer waiting on these machines. There were 2 customers when I came in both at this time folding their clothes and one lady came in after me and went on the other side didn't even look at the big machine. Well I thought I was a customer too if in fact I didn't already put my laundry soap in the machines I would have token my clothes elsewhere. Never again will I spend my money at a business where the OWNER thinks he is above anyone......

This Coin-O-Matic is one of the few in the area open 24 hours, but despite that convienence, I…read morealways steered clear. On Michigan at W Grand Blvd, this laundromat is not in the most desirable area. ESPECIALLY if you are taking advantage of the 24 hours factor and coming here late night. I would definitely not advise that. But on a light post-daylight savings time evening when I needed some laundry done fast, and knowing that my usual laundromat on Vernor closed early, I decided to just brave it. I only had one load to throw in. I was pleasantly surprised! Street parking put me right in front so I had full view of my car the whole time (and no...my car is NOT the beat up white one in the picture on here lol). Inside, I found a very large selection of various load sized washers and dryers. Considering I've yet to ever see a 24 hour laundromat that is squeaky clean, this place is pretty well kept up. There were a lot of families in here, with the kids running around playing and watching spanish television on the one small TV while their parents did the wash. I brought a book to bide my time. The regular top load washers are only a dollar per load - CONSIDERABLY cheaper than what I've been paying at Lupita's on Vernor. There was a gentleman working there, walking around and spot cleaning and just providing general service. He kept to himself but was working the entire time, and had a kind face and smile. There are a few vending machines for both snacks and detergant. It almost made me feel bad for writing the Coin-O-Matic off as being a shady pit, which was honestly the impression I always got just from driving by. Because it's not in the best area, I would forewarn anyone who gets real anxious around that type of environment. Also, I would never go (especially by myself) late at night. But it is really SO much cheaper than the place I had been going (where i paid about $3 per load just to wash), so I just may switch and start coming here. But I will make sure it is during daylight hours. :)
