Perfectly pressed and stain free!
Naomi O.

Lilly, the owner of this store is one of the many reasons I continuously come back for my dry cleaning! As a woman, one of the most heartbreaking things (even worst than a breakup in my opinion) we endure is seeing a stain on a blouse that we paid an insane amount of money on. Sure, we can lie to ourselves and say the silk blouse we were eyeing was on sale at Saks (it wasn't, but we look gorgeous in it so deal with it) and it was going to be out of stock, thus somehow we didn't stop our hand from grabbing our wallet and walking out of Saks with a new blouse and possibly $200.00 poorer, and now a stain. A. STAIN. THAT. CANNOT. BE. WASHED. Lo' and behold, this is where this amazing owner aka my savior arrives. She goes above and beyond for me and my wardrobe. I somehow have an obsession with white button downs and a love affair with silk so if any stains happen, I'm the first to call her and she, like a doctor being paged to see a patient that is coding out of the blue, Lilly takes one look at whatever stain and assures me it'll be gone and giving me an estimate of when to come pick it up. Her prices are so reasonable and with the amazing work and care that goes into business, I'm surprised she doesn't charge more. I only go to her store and don't plan going elsewhere!

Unfriendly, expensive, sometimes doesn't listen to instructions. What else more do I need to say?

I'm rather particular about my clothing, so I didn't feel a few extra blocks was worth rocking the boat.

So I stopped in unexpectedly to get my romper hemmed because the pants were too long. The ladies…read morethere were so kind. They didn't know me as I had called a few minutes before and asked them if they could fix a sports top of mine that my dog had ripped the strap off of and then also fix my pants that were too long. They happily obliged. I was able to quickly go I into the makeshift dressing room they had, came out, and then one of the women got to work and started using pins to allocate the area that has to be trimmed. She was very patient and asked me if the length was ok several times. Whilst doing this and changing back into my other clothes, the other lady had already stitched the strap on my sports top. I was beyond happy. For my romper that they also offered to dry clean, they told me to return after a week and gave me a yellow ticket to note the date/time. I indeed returned about a week and half later to pick up my romper. It was neatly pressed and hemmed just right. They reminded me of a seamstress I went to back home in Miami. I feel lucky I found this store (thanks to Yelp of course). They had great reviews. How could I not? Should I need them again, I would definitely be back.

Brought in $2.5k of undamaged clothes and half came back faded /silks snagged/ ruined- one…read morewhite shirt came back off white and they tried to claim it was cream to begin with until I showed them my receipt for the item purchase. I was careful to check and take photos of my items to benchmark any pre existing damage (only 1 had a stain) and the clothes came back there was a ton of new damage- 7 pieces. Still charged me for half and refused to apologize until I said I would have to warn others. Other items came back still stained (and they acknowledged they had incorrectly forgotten about certain spots). 2. When I brought them in there was a line of people and the store was supposed to close at 5. I wanted to walk through each item but the worker rushed me out and refused to do that because she wanted to get off the clock on time while keeping her revenue/volume as high as possible - and attend to the other customers. I'm just really bummed that my expensive items were destroyed.

I have had my dry cleaning done several times here and been happy with the results! While I much…read moreprefer lower maintenance clothes, my wardrobe has expanded to include a number of dresses and items that require dry cleaning. Items come back clean and neat and they will drop off your items at your building for you if you live close by! The staff here are really nice as well. I am not sure if the prices are considered reasonable or high as I have not checked out other dry cleaning places in the area but it usually comes out to ~$20 for a dress, $10 for a blouse.

Was surprised to see that my go-to neighborhood dry cleaner wasn't reviewed on Yelp as they're…read morequite large and quite good. Totally serviceable, friendly, quick, affordable dry cleaning in center city. Prices are normal in my opinion - i pay $15 per two piece suit from time to time and $20 once for silk bedding. I like that they are open till 6PM for the after work crowd. Both times I've come in I was seen almost immediately, and the attendant was kind and helpful. They also do alterations although I've never used that service. Usually get a two day turnaround here, although they mentioned you can rush for an additional fee. I'm quite enthusiastic about this place, and it's nice to find a dry cleaner that is consistent and effective! One really important note is that the hours listed on Google and Yelp are not quite accurate. They are open for full service from 8AM - 6PM Monday thru Friday. The rest of the time, 6PM - 10PM Monday thru Friday, and Saturdays & Sundays 8AM - 10PM are only open for drop off, so you can use a drop box (like a library book return) for self-service drop off.
