    I was pretty disappointed in the quality of dry cleaning I was provided here. I got a wool blanket cleaned and it came back with random debris in it :(

    Super great service and nice people. I didn't know the difference between dry cleaning and wash cleaning for men's shirts. They explained very kindly and all shirts came out nicely and on time. Parking is so easy and I see they have a lot of royal customers which is good sign.

    My ruined duvet
    Kelly H.

    I was in the market for a new dry cleaner and after a lot of research I decided to try metropolitan cleaner. The staff I spoke with were incredibly kind. I brought in a duvet cover to be washed for the first time, and this was back in July. Fast forward to last night (October 25) I finally remove my duvet from the wrapping/hanger and I notice this giant, unsightly stain on my white comforter. It almost looks like someone set a coffee pot on my duvet cover. I was extremely disappointed and upset. Giving 2 stars because the staff I worked with was friendly, but overall pretty upset that my duvet cover is ruined leading to an overall bad experience

    The parking is great. They usually have some spots metered spots near the side but also have parking in front. I was pretty unimpressed at first. I dropped off a dress here that had makeup on it. They gave it back to me with makeup still on it. I pointed it out, the guy took it to the back for a minute and brought it out perfect. I came here for a couple more things. They were honest about how long it would take to clean a certain item, which I appreciated. (I was hoping to get it back by the next day. But due to the severity of the problem it would take longer...) Also, I had them clean some spots on a top and when I picked it up I was told they couldn't take out the spots (they were burned or something. The material had faded away and the backing that was showing were the spots I was seeing.) I was still charged for the cleaning even though i wasn't asked if I still wanted to clean it if they couldn't fix the spots. Needless to say the shirt is trash. They did a great job on my other things. So, very hit or miss.

    The best dry cleaning in Santa Monica!!! Everyone treats your clothes as it's theirs.

    I must say Benny & the team treat every garment at this location as it was theirs. They clean, they sew, they treat you as family. This is the best cleaners in Santa Monica hands down!! Most importantly you can easily park for a quick drop off or pick up. I encourage everyone to check this place out when in need.

    Great work! All my Stains Gone. #1 Cleaners

    I needed my work clothes dry cleaned ASAP and I was so blessed to have by accident called "Metropolitan Cleaners". Everyone else was closed on Sunday near Ocean Park, Santa Monica however Benny answered Phone and since it was my first visit he offered 30% off so I brought a bundle with no expectations. Unbelievable pick up today! Stains gone , price is right and to top it off kind Thank you Mr Benny I'm so excited I have a new high end dry cleaners at a budget price. Bless you for being such an amazing essential worker. Be safe.

    Seemed decent, but all dry cleaners are expensive now and that was with the first timer discount.

    Mr. Bello is a fantastic tailor who runs a great business…read more He has become my go-to for my menswear tailoring needs, but I have personally seen clients bring all kinds of garments in, including women's clothing. Santa Monica Tailor is right in Santa Monica near the well-known Bay Cities Italian Deli & Bakery. You can find street parking or grab a parking spot behind the business where there are a few spots reserved for clients. Inside is a classy setup with the tailoring mirror and stand along with nice displays of a suit, a vintage sewing machine as a decorative piece, some comfy chairs for clients or clients' friends and family, and tasteful furniture. I've always been greeted with a smile here and very speedy service. At the same time, I never feel rushed here, and I truly feel listened to. You'll want to bring in your garment(s) and then try them on for Mr. Bello to inspect the fit and ask you what modifications you'd like. He has guided me before when I wasn't too sure and wanted a second opinion on how something should fit. I trust him with his choices given his experience. Also, it's been fun getting to become a return customer and hear sometimes compliments on the quality of some garments I have brought in. I know he's seen a lot of clothes, so his eye is really sharp. Here, I have received services such as pants hemming, suit jacket slimming, suit jacket sleeve shortening, and pants tapering. Santa Monica Tailor has always done a great job. The fit always has come out nice for me, and when I checked out the details, I could see the worksmanship that goes into the garments. Note that the business has a policy where you can take in your tailored garment for modifications up to 7 days after recieving it if you are in some way unsatisfied. This is a very smart business move to build trust and loyalty, and it's a nice peace of mind for clients. I also have been happy with the quick turnaround times here and the ease of communication via phone and text. Prices have always been fair to me and in line with other top tailors in the LA area. Payment is accepted via at least cash and Venmo, which I have done, and possibly more like Zelle (inquire further about this). Overall, just a top-notch tailor in the LA area who treats clients with professionalism, respect, and class. It really is a great feeling to have a tailor you trust, so I encourage you to at least try them out and see for yourself.

From the start, she was honest, professional, and refreshingly transparent. She didn't promise me the sun, moon, and stars -- instead, she clearly explained that with her current workload she couldn't guarantee anything, but if I was willing to come in, she would take a look and see if there was anything she could do to help. When I arrived, she had me try on the dress, and within minutes it was clear she was both experienced and highly knowledgeable. She immediately put me at ease by explaining that the dress wasn't as problematic as I thought and that the design was meant to drape a certain way. At the same time, she validated my concerns about the fit, managed my expectations beautifully, and presented thoughtful options -- including a couple that didn't even require her services. Ultimately, she suggested adding a discreet clasp to provide support and concealment without compromising the cut or flow of the dress. She completed it in under five minutes, using a transparent clasp and perfectly color-matched thread. The craftsmanship was seamless. She charged me a very nominal fee, and when I tried to tip her, she insisted it was too much and even handed a few dollars back. Talk about integrity -- fair, honest, and truly old-school. I absolutely loved the experience and will most definitely be back.
