    A cafe and a laundry in one. Free parking and free wifi. I came once to wash a king sized comforter and I was so pleased I went back the same week to catch up on some other laundry too. In two hours I washed, dried, and folded a giant load of laundry AND got work done in the cafe. I'm a big fan of this place!

    Varietals of different sized washing machines.

    Seriously chill place. The coffee is great. And the sound of washing machines is soothing. The perfect spot for a clean working session

I had a lot of anxiety about coming to a laundry mat but thankfully my experience was pretty smooth! This place has been here for ages and I think the last time I was here was well over 15 years ago. Anywho, they have lots of washers and dryers. I came here on Memorial Day (yes, they were open!) and I got 3 washers right away. Big washer was $7.50 (sheesh!) and smaller washer was $4.50. Each washer took 30min or less to run. I also found driers right away. Driers are huge and cost $0.25 for every 10min. I gave it 4 stars because there's not enough seating, washing is expensive (or maybe I'm just blind to how much laundry mats charge nowadays) and the bathroom is dingy. Otherwise it was overall pretty clean (NO bugs/critters), there were plenty of washers and driers available and it was quick. Would recommend this place and will definietely consider coming back if I need to wash a big comforter or something.

    Solid. Good clean spot…read more I like to get out of the neighborhood to do laundry. It's a bit of an outing fir me. Weird but true. So I come to Evanston to get some peace and quiet. What can you ask for in a laundromat? It's clean, cool, simple with good restrooms. The ma gives seem clean and well maintained with a cool clientele that of all ages, walks of life and races. Mellow music and good Lenny of parking in their huge parking lot. Also walkable to a few cafes and food shops.

    Love letter to a Laundromat- for Laundry Day - Chicagoland Tide Laundromat!…read more I didn't think I'd ever write a love letter to a laundromat, but here we are. After years of juggling quarters, lugging detergent, and waiting endlessly for the single coin machine in my condo to free up, I tried Chicagoland Tide Laundromat--and wow, I'll never go back. Here's why: No More Hauling Detergent - Tide Laundromat automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent, bleach, and fabric softener for your load, based on weight. No guessing. No spills. No carrying bulky bottles. Scan & Go - I just scan the QR code, pay with the app, and boom--my machines are ready. The app even tells me when my wash or dry cycle is done and which machine I'm using. Productivity Rules - At my condo, I'm stuck waiting for a single washer and dryer, which means SIX loads can take half a day. At Tide, I loaded up three machines at once and knocked out the same six loads in about 20 minutes. That's a whole Saturday back in my life. No Quarters, Ever Again - I didn't have to run to the bank, hunt down an ATM, or hoard quarters like a 90s arcade gamer. Scan, pay, done. Sure, it might cost a bit more per load, but when factor in: Time spent finding quarters Waiting for machines to open up Multiple hours babysitting loads ...the value is unbeatable. My laundry used to take an entire afternoon. Now? I'm done, folded, and out the door before I could even finish a podcast. If you're still using coin laundry, do yourself a favor and try Tide Laundromat. It's the future--and it's here in Chicago.

    Dirty and too expensive. Always way too crowded. People use 5-6 dryers at a time and you can never…read moreget a dryer without waiting a while.

    This is my first, only, and last experience with a laundromat. Boyfriend's apartment doesn't have…read morelaundry machines and this place is practically in his backyard. Bib 'n' Tucker is dirty and expensive, but this is just a phase in our poor college student lives, so I won't write an angry review based on that. My review is based on a horrific experience with theft. A thief stole our clothes from a washer here one night. No one is EVER on duty here and there is NO way to get in contact with them. There's NO phone number, NO name of any managers, not even an actual listing for this business - in store or online. When I asked the custodian and window washer working here, they said, "I don't know who's the manager, sorry." You don't know who you work for...? Boyfriend and I waited up til 6am to speak to the person who supposedly opens store every morning (according to the night custodian) but there was no one here. Evanston PD was unhelpful. Extremely frustrating. Do not come here. It is a ghost place. There is no name, no face, no voice, no number attached to these tumbling machines. Scary.

    Come for the laundry, stay for the cockroaches. I was doing my laundry here recently and I had some…read moreof my clothes on the folding table. I lift up a shirt and there was a cockroaches walking around. There's quite a few. Plus nobody is ever on duty to help with machine eaten change. There is no number to call either. Don't. Just don't.
