If you live in the North San Jose area and are looking for a reliable dry cleaner, I highly recommend this shop! After moving back to the area, I noticed most of the places I used to frequent had gone out of business. In addition to excellent dry cleaning, they also offer clothing alterations. The owner is incredibly responsive, friendly and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text message a whole day before my promised pickup date letting me know my garments were already ready! The shop is conveniently located on Berryessa Road right next to Seven Leaves Cafe. There is also plenty of parking available. Highly recommend! read more

0 stars. Don't bother wasting your time or money! I've been going here for years and she's always had issues with timing. Shes had my coats for over a month now, I gave her 3. She said they would be ready in a week or two. I come back in 2 weeks to give her extra time and she said that she still needs another week for two of the coats. I come back another week later, she said they're still not done and to come back tomorrow. At this point I'm frustrated because she's already had it for more than 2 weeks, and she advertises that she can do 1 day service cleaning. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I come back the next day and only one of the 2 coats is done. She then asks me to come back later in the day. I do not have time in my schedule to come to the dry cleanings several times within a week, or within a day for that matter. The point is to drop it off and have a set pick up time when it's ready. I comeback within 3 days for the last coat to give her some more time and she still says she needs 10 more minutes when I finally come in as she was just watching some Netflix show sitting on her chair working on something else. I understand it can be busy, but when she's already had my coats for a month now, and telling me it would be done at a certain time and I show up and it's still not done - you can understand why I give her 0 stars. And for the price? Paying 30-45 per coat for the poor service is outrageous. I would expect better service. It shows that she doesn't care about the quality of the dry cleaning or the quality of my coats because she tried rushing the last coat asking me to wait for her to finish as i can hear her finish steaming it in the back. I just asked for my coat and left. Waste of my time. I also want to side note that she had a side conversation with me about pets - and she hates them! Lol. As a pet owner myself, I found it very rude that she would share her unsolicited opinions about anything unrelated to her business and it lacks professionalism here. If you want someone to really care for your clothing and provide high quality service to your garments, I would recommend going elsewhere. Not true quality first lol read more

Total disclaimer: this is my first time ever dry cleaning anything, so my experience is from the lens of a dry clean virgin I thought it was super simple drop off and pick up! I dropped off my item Monday and was able to pick up Thursday. They close at 7PM, so it was good to be able to get this out of the way during the week. I had a long coat, and it's pretty heavy so getting that cleaned was $28. That sounds reasonable to me, but again, no idea what the price range could be. I'd come back! My things are still in one piece and clean! read more

I brought my wedding dress and my husband's suit here for alterations. Angel did a wonderful job. She does not rush her alterations process. So, if you plan to get alterations done here, do make sure you do so weeks before the event. Thank you, Angel! read more

I gave 2 sweat shirts for Dry Cleaning. While I am yet to check the quality of the work, their communication is very poor. They are also very expensive. read more

I was charged $18 to dryclean linen pants and a cotton waistcoat. When I asked if it was better to bring cash the lady said there was no difference. When my brother went to pick up my dry clean she charged him $20 because he was using credit card and proceeded to say that she had already notified me. This shop will lie apparently to gain a couple of dollars and their services are way too high. Do not go. read more

Angel is truly so talented! We have been going to Angel for years & I knew going to an actual bride boutique I would be unhappy with the services, so I knew I only could go to Angel for my wedding dress. She had taken in the bust, the length & fixed the neckline. I was unsure about how to bustle the dress but Angel did it so perfectly & I wouldn't have done it any other way. She managed to finish my dress quickly, as well as 2 of my bridesmaids dresses too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR DRY CLEANING & ALTERATIONS read more

Very bad cleaners. I took y jacket in to be cleaned, pressed and had a button that needed to be resewn. They lost my button and the lady still had to go over my jacket because it had wrinkles. Terrible, unreliable and very bad work. Disappointed every time! read more

I've been going here for years for all of my alteration and dry cleaning needs. I've even moved out of the area but still come back regularly.

I tell all of my friends to come here because of how reliable she is! read more

Quality First Cleaners - Wedding dress ‍ - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Jose, California

We have been using this dry cleaners now for a little over a month and we are very pleased with the service and the quality of the cleaning.

I rarely take my clothes to dry cleaning. Price can range a lot depending on the garment. I would say, they can get the job done with good quality work. read more

I came here couple years ago the first time and she told me a specific date that it be done , I come back it's not done and she charges extra for brand-name jeans... who does that? So I go somewhere else now,twice as fast, cheaper than her and friendly quality service!! My mom also went here, same problem, given a specific date and never keeps her word. Ya, she is the only person working here but if you know your going to be pushed back on time, don't promise anything that you can't keep. Have a better system of organization. read more

This was my go to cleaners. Love the owner. Her prices have ski rocketed. The quality is still excellent but alteration prices seem to have tripled. I sure hope they are not monopolizing due to many other cleaners closing. read more

Omg, so a coworker noticed that my dress had a rip in the back this morning. I got in my car and was going to drive all the way home to change, but thought to myself, why not just drop by and ask Angel if she can fix it? So it takes me 2 minutes to drive to the cleaners, and I asked Angel if she could fix it right now. I literally just took off my dress, handed it to her (of course I had changed in my gym clothes) and less than 5 minutes later it was all done! Angel even rehemmed the entire seams of the poorly made dress ($24 basic black dress from Marshalls) and charged me only $8. I handed her my $10 and told her no change! I walked right back into my office a few minutes later and my coworker was amazed at how fast Angel had done it! Angel is like super woman with super skills and a super big heart! read more

Quality First Cleaners - Angel was able to fix what I was currently wearing as a walk in!!! - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Jose, California

She's ridiculously expensive! And she charges upon the brand, she checks the label of each item then give you the price of a dry clean or alterations. And plus she has attitude!! read more

TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION and SUPER CONDESCENDING. Called in to ask for an estimate for bringing up the hems of my overalls and shortening the waistline. She explained initially that I would need to come in for her to see the pants to give an accurate estimate, which I said I was fine with going in but needed a quick estimate anyways to compare prices+ I also tried to explain what the pants looked like. However during the rest of the call she went on a tangent about skinny jeans being unpopular, kept interrupting me when I tried to talk, continuously said I didn't know anything I was talking about, correcting my terminology and when asked to explain the terms she ignored me and continuously said that I didn't know anything. She was just plain out rude from the start and talked over me when i tried to just get two simple estimates. read more

Came here to dry clean my white dress shirt and it came out looking fresh and crisp. I even came back two weeks late after my initial return date and it was not a problem. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Extremely poor time management. Granted, Angel is the only person working but if you cannot handle it, then you need to turn away jobs or hire someone else. Handful of times that we have come to pick up items and they are not done. Multiple times where we were asked to come back later that day, but then told that yet again they are not done. The final straw was today - Dropped off 5-6 pairs of pants to be altered on a Tuesday - given a promise date on Friday. First came in on Saturday morning - not done, was told to come back later. Came back at 5pm. Still not done. Told to come back at 7pm. 7pm rolls around and was told that she had to go to a party that ends at 9 and only 3 of them are done. (These were needed for a business trip leaving on Sunday...so HUGE disappointment). Ok...I came to pick up the rest today Wednesday and was told YET AGAIN...SHE IS NOT DONE!!!! What the heck...This is over a week. I was told to come back tomorrow (Thursday) around 6pm. *Update: I actually gave her an extra day and came on Friday... Well.. No surprise...Not even started. It is over 1 week past the promised date. An excuse of having to do wedding alterations was given. I asked for the pants back and a refund.* Price: Hem w/o original hem $8, Taper & Hem w/o original $23 She does a great job but don't expect to get it done on time or as promised. read more

Poor Time Management Poor Alteration Quality Breach of Contract Shop Owner Has Some Attitude The shop owner missed promised date and did not extend any apology. The shop owner lied about when she opened her shop the day I was at her door before and after her opening time. **** ALTERATION QUALITY CONSISTENTLY INCONSISTENT **** Puckered Seams. ==== Same Style of Pants Made of Polyester/Nylon Fabric with Inconsistent Alteration Qualities. One of my 3 pairs of pants of the same style made of polyester/nylon fabric in 3 different colors to be shortened had to be redone even after two (2) redoes. First time: puckered stitches all over both leg seams. Second time: puckered stitches here and there with a notch (^) caused by uneven seam widths. Third time: better quality but still with puckered stitches. Business owner's excuse: The fabric was hard to sew and pressed. She dismissed my response: "But all 3 pairs are of the same fabric." I never asked the shop owner to redo the alteration; I only showed her the seam faults. And she quietly took the pants back and redo the alteration TWICE for free. ==== Same Pair of Pants with Inconsistent Alteration Qualities One pair of my wool pants altered by the shop owner had half a leg seam done perfectly but the other half with puckered stitches and uneven seam widths. The shop owner refused the redo the alteration, citing that I was a picky perfectionist In conclusion, the shop owner CONSISTENTLY produces INCONSISTENT QUALITY WORK! Side Note. I provided the shop owner an old pair of pants as a model to alter a new pair of pants. The end product delivered was wider cuff widths and the top of the cuffs were not stitched as ordered. The shop owner's excuse for the latter was that I did not give her the go-ahead and that she did not charge me for it. In fact, I agreed to have the stitches machine sewn when she revealed it would not be hand sewn. **** Breach of Contract; Shop Owner Has Some Attitude **** According to Judge Judy, an invoice is a contract between a customer and a business entity within the four (4) corners of the invoice. I had a new pair of wool pants to be shortened and requested the shop owner to keep the fabric remnants for me. She wrote "keep material" on the invoice. When asked for the remnants, the shop owner claimed that they do not keep any materials. The pants I brought in for alteration were my property, so are the cut remnants. I have the right to ask the shop to keep the remnants; the shop owner does not have any right to go against the agreements written within the four corners of the invoice. No apologies but, "We don't keep the cuttings" and "I don't have it. What do you want me to do?" If the shop does not keep any cut materials/remnants, the shop owner should have the decency to declare as such beforehand or have it in writing on her shop policy. This shop owner does have some attitude as one review says, but not the decency to apologize when she should. read more

Been coming here for the last year ever since my last cleaners failed me by returning my stuff smelling like incense.I found this place on yelp. every time I need a jacket or a shirt cleaned and pressed I come here. Service is always good and always on time. Parking can be a little tricky here on weekends. read more

This review's a tad bit late but better late than never. My mom took a pair of dress pants here to get tailored. This was her first visit. She drops them off and picks them up two days later...not bad, until... ...she opens up the bag to find her pair of "dress" pants literally rolled up and thrown into the bag. A 'little' upset, because other places she's been to actually take the 30 seconds to press the clothing and take another 30 seconds to hang it over a hanger for a decent, thank-you-for-your-business presentation. This lady skipped out on that part of her customer satisfaction class. My mom moves along to take a look at the work that was done and sees that there is a bunch of loopy thread sticking out all over the place where this woman had taken her pants in at. My mom brings it up to her as 1) it is an issue and 2) so that she can clean it up. Low and behold, my mom gets told that she would have to pay again for re-doing the whole thing. For Real?! The lady wouldn't budge like what she had decided had been the most ethical and righteous decision she had made in her professional life, ever. Pissed off, my mom left with her dress pants in hand and came home to advise I write a review. So here you go. read more

They did dry cleaning to my jacket, it was smelling smoke because of camping fire and after dry cleaning my jacket was still smelling smoke, disappointed by quality of service read more

Was a customer here for over a year. A few times I've come back for my clothes and the store was closed. It had a sign saying will be back at 2:30 and was still not back until 3:30. I was not able to pick my clothes up that day and I had a flight that night. Another time she did a poor job on one of my shirts. I was not in town so I had no choice but to wear it. When I brought it back she said because I wore it she won't redo. Fine so be it. But as a customer who's whole Family has been coming for over a year and that's how you treat them? Pathetic. Regret giving her business. read more

I like Angel. She is tiny and cute. She also has good taste in clothing, because she always compliments all the clothes I bring in. =P But on the real, her dry cleaning turnaround is quick and I have never had a bad experience with the items I bring in. Her prices are very reasonable. As for alterations, she is a bit slow with turnaround. She does do a really good job though. She made my $15 Target dress look like a $60 B.P. Nordstrom dress. Just don't expect to have a dress altered and ready to wear for the next day. Give her some time on it cause you wouldn't want a poorly altered article of clothing. Let her know if you area heading out of town and need the item ASAP, cause she will try her hardest to finish it on time. Overall, prices are reasonable and you get a cute little Vietnamese lady altering your dress while listening to Wild 94.9. read more

I just picked up my clothes the other day and am quite impressed with their dry cleaning services and prices. I brought in a sweater dress, sweater wrap, and a jacket (all Anthro and UO stuff), and paid less than $20! Both my bf and I were shocked! Angel (I think) told me that my jacket had a lot of lint and that she cleaned it all off...so I tipped her a little. I used to dry clean my Anthropologie dresses at this dry cleaners in Marin (Novato to be exact) and they charged ~$15 per! So after having been through that, Quality First is 10X better! I will definitely go back. read more

QUALITY FIRST CLEANERS Excellent place to do tailoring and dry cleaning. Pants can be hemmed for $7 and waistlines range from $6-$10. The owner is very friendly and likes to explain things and makes suggestions on the size of pants one should wear, depending on body size, and whether it's worth the tailoring effort involved. Come later in the evening, as the owner is slammed constantly by customers and business. People know she's good, so they bring her lots of business! read more

Dropped off a black trench coat on a Monday and given a pick up date of the upcoming Saturday. Once I came by on Saturday, I was told to give them 5 mins while they get it ready. Once I returned, the coat was not clean, but only lint rolled to reduce the amount of lint the coat had originally come in with. I informed the attendant that they had done an unacceptable job and she advised that's the best she could do, she showed me the black and red lint roller she got from the dollar store and replied with," if more effort was needed, she'd charge $5 additional", on top of the $32 originally quoted. Being in the dry cleaning business, you should already know first hand how much effort required to clean various type of fabrics. Not returning to this mismanaged and inexperienced establishment. read more

Angel's the 1st person I go to when I need my pants hemmed and my dry cleaning done. I can tell she has a lot of passion in what she does because she took the time to explain the different types of stitching that was done on my pants. She also differentiated herself from tailors at Men's Wherehouse & other retail stores by stating/showing that she spends the time on each of her items. Her work is very good quality while other retailers stitching has easily broken apart. The only reason why this isn't a 5 star review is that you have to give a few extra days for your clothes to be hemmed. She is pretty swamped and I can see she does quality work. Usually, I'm not in a rush so I'm generally ok with waiting a few extra days. read more

If there was 0 start, it would deserve it. Horrible service, always late for alternations, charge high prices and damages customer's item then don't take any responsibility- end up blaming the customer. Been customer for years, but I rather drive a few minutes away to get all the dry clean or alternations done. read more

This review is for dry cleaning only. From the reviews, it looks like the alterations are amazing, but I don't think I have the patience to wait for it. I've done dry cleaning here before and service was efficient and friendly. The owner is super sweet, always smiling. I don't remember prices from my first trip, but I just dropped off a load yesterday. $10 for peacoats $5 for blazers It's ready for me today, but I don't have time today so I'm picking it up tomorrow morning. It was a 1-2 day turnaround last time as well. She explained the pricing for the peacoats before I even asked. It was sweet of her to explain because I'm sure other customers might get their panties in a bunch about peacoats and blazers both being "coats". I'd recommend this place. Again, friendly and efficient. Hours are 9am-7pm Monday through Saturday. They're closed Sundays. Location is in the Berryessa Center at Berryessa and King. read more

Angel is awesome and caring. She has always been my go to for my alternations and has not done me wrong yet! The prices are pretty reasonable. It's about $2.99 for a dry cleaned shirt - hemming and alterations vary. It may look a little disorganized in the store, but she has her stuff together. She's just a hardworking lady - willing to go above and beyond for her customers. When I needed a dress for a gala event, she was going to be closed for the holidays. The day before I called freaking out because I couldn't get off work in time. She said no worries if I needed to I could pick it up at her house and she would bring it home. Even though I was able to rush there in time, the gesture was what counted! Dress looked great too :) **CASH ONLY** read more

Boy, the first time I came into this place, the clothes were all over the place. I don't know how Angel can do it especially she work by herself. Anyway, its my first time coming here and I was quite satisfied for what she did to my 2 maxi dresses. I dropped the dress off thursday and she said, it will be ready by saturday. I came in exactly on time for pick up and it wasn't ready but I wasn't in a hurry so I waited for half an hour. I was amaze how fast she finish my dress and when I tried them at home it was 'Perfect' length. I agree with the other reviewers. She work by herself doing all this loads of alteration so you can't guarantee that your clothes will be on time but she did try her best to finish mine on same day while I wait. Angel did her job professionally. I gave her 5 star for doing job well done, but as for the environment, she needs to organize and clean her place. She definitely need assistant. oh and btw, she charge me $12 per dress and it was less expensive, better price than the one I used to go in milpitas. I'll definitely come back here. I finally found a new place for my alteration that's closer to where I lived. I'll see you again soon, Angel. =) read more

Angel does a GREAT job. She's so nice. I only do alterations here though not dry cleaning. I dry cleaned my sister's dress once and they kind of ruined it. It had a flower on it and when I got it back the flower was missing and they claimed the didn't have it. ANYWAYS, I definitely coming here for your Jean hemming. The price and serivce is great! Only $7-10 for hemming. read more

I've been going to Angel for the last 3 years now. I met her while working at BCBG. This woman knows her clothes, that's for sure. I think the dry cleaning is a little bit expensive for my taste so i'll dock one star. Since I take forever to pick up my dry cleaning I'm not quite sure how her turn around time is, because when I'm ready shes ready. It's very hard to find a person to alter your clothes to fit you nicely! She does the job! I refer all my friends to her. I mean, c'mon perfect doesnt come over night.. so patience! that's if you have any. read more

I can say I'm very pleased with the work Angel did on my two pairs of Joe's Jeans. I brought in two flared jeans and came home with two boot cut jeans. This was exactly how I wanted it. However, don't expect your alterations within the 5-day period she says they will be ready. She takes about 8-9 days to alter and 2-3 days to dry clean. The woman does a great job but perfection takes time and I didn't mind the wait because both of my jeans had been sitting in my closet for two years....I also brought in a valour blazer to dry clean for my uncle. Didn't get a chance to really look at the cleanliness but I'm going to say it's clean (I hope) Being a first timer with Angel's alterations, I'm pretty satisfied. Kind of pricey but it's worth it with the time and effort she puts in. $6 hem to cut pants short $7 original hem $15 for slimmer pants ( Flare to Bootcut) I paid $52 for both my jeans and dry cleaning. Plus $2 for being such a cute little viet lady and explaining everything to me that she does to alter. read more

Like everyone has said, Angel is really nice. I called her store after reading some of the reviews on here to inquire on pricing, and even on the phone she was sweet enough to introduce herself during our conversation by saying "I'm Angel, nice to meet you." I appreciate small gestures like that as not a lot of people take that extra effort to connect with you by means of an introduction. I have yet to pick up my alterations as I only dropped them off, but I was very impressed with her as a person because I came in with both my toddlers (1.5 and 3 years old) to get their suits altered and she was very accommodating. She allowed me to mark the pants where they needed altering so that the kids wouldn't freak out from her doing it and she even gave each of them a fruit snack! I also asked her if I could pay when I picked up the clothes and without hesitation she said "sure, no problem!". She seems like a sweetheart. Will report back when I get my clothes back... but so far, I'm very impressed. read more

I came to this location to get my jacket sleeves and pants hemmed because my uncle suggested I come here. The pricing was great and how it came out was even better. When I came to pick up both pieces, Angel was still working on my jacket. She did a great job and it's understandable how she might not always have your items ready right when you walk in the door considering she is the only one working there and sometimes she sacrifices herself and works overtime just to get things done, but the final product came out wonderfully and to my fit. I suggest you call in to make sure whatever you gave her to be fixed is ready before you walk in the doors on the scheduled day. I also thought it was cool that she also told me an awesome little story when she when she was younger and when she attended her prom. I will definitely be suggesting this place to others, thank you Angel! read more

Quality First Cleaners - Perfect fitting jacket and pants I had hemmed! - Dry Cleaning Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my go-to place for alterations. Usually when I go, there is one lady working that handles everything. Phone calls, tailoring, dry cleaning, etc. She's very friendly and good at managing the influx of customers. She seems very organized and good at managing her time. She is also very honest and will give you a quote before you move forward with the services and will give you her opinion if she thinks something will not turn out right. She can usually tailor a dress in less than 24 hours and will send you a text message if she finishes earlier than expected. Also, I took it as a good sign that I noticed that there are a lot of regulars that come in for dry cleaning since they are very chatty with her and seem to know what they want already. read more
