Nazia C.

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

Cute, clean laundromat. Only problem is there isn't much space to fold laundry. Also, kind of expensive

It was nutty, and I could actually taste the espresso without the miso, caramel, or black sesame overpowering it. The flavors worked together really well, and it was delicious. The Basic 9/10 was a pumpkin puree latte with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. The pumpkin and cinnamon flavors were strong, and the espresso was delicious. Definitely my favorite of the two! Honestly, I wish this place were closer to where I live because I could see it becoming my go-to coffee shop. I really loved their espresso flavor. The vibes are chill and casual with a strong '80s aesthetic. It's pretty spacious but gets packed, with couches for lounging and water and Wi-Fi available. The music is upbeat and loud, though, so I'd say it's more of a lounge to hang out with friends than a quiet place to work.

I finally got a chance to come here. It's been listed as Chicago's first Pakistani-themed cafe. I…read morelike that they have long hours. There is a ton of parking available. I really like the look of the inside, it's very aesthetic and will likely appeal to these young American Tik Tok/IG girls. However, as Chicago's first Pakistani-themed cafe, I was hoping for a more authentic experience. I know their menu is half American and half Pakistani. I think 95% Pakistani would have been better. The pancakes, French toast, chicken cajun pasta, and chicken club sandwich, people can get that literally anywhere. The Pakistani food you can't. I ordered the paratha smash burger and honey cardamom matcha hot. The honey cardamom was great, not very sweet at all. The paratha was crispy and the smash burger was juicy. I really enjoyed the sauce on top of the burger. I would definitely come back here for that. Service was very friendly and helpful. I would give this place a 4. I would really love to see more Pakistani food on the menu as well as advertised on your social media. The Americanized food catering to Americans doesn't do the Pakistani culture justice.

Needed a quick snack in the way to the arboretum and ended up here. It was so cute and welcoming…read more There was an event going on when we arrived but they were happy explain things in the menu, take our order and seat us. We sat at the cute floor seating area and lounged with our snacks. We got the bun kabob, haleem and karak chai. The haleem has no business being this good at a cafe lol. The bun kabob's meat to bread to chutney ratio was perfect. The chai was really authentic and not too sweet. We went for snack, but ended waay more stuffed than intended. Happily so

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.
