    If you need to do laundry somewhere in Ogdensburg this is the place to go. The other laundry place on Ford Street is a dump. This is a newer business..with newer machines. It also has dry cleaning service and tanning beds. Not a ton of parking but the area is never too full.

    I bring our coats, suits and jackets for dry cleaning here a couple of times a year and dress…read moreshirts more often. Always polite, friendly staff and get the job done. This year i brought white cussion covers that got damaged and what seemed beyond fixing and everyone else gave up on, they took in a did pretty good job. Will keep using this place, like other reviewers noted, very few places in this area that do the dry cleaning. Yes the building is old but the work/service they do is good. I also noticed that other reviwer here pretty much bunched up the business he was upset with and other businesses all together to say that "St Lawrence county is backwards" etc. Well to that I have to say is, it's sad he and others had bad experience with this place but also bunching up all the businesses in this area and call them backwards is very unfair. I am not native to this place by any means, however have dealt with plenty of local businesses that thrive to go above and beyond for their customers and do their job with high level of integrity and passion for what they do. Perhaps traveling around the world makes one be a bit more reserved when it comes to making statements about something being "backwards" vs having poor customer experience and stating "i have never seen anything this bad" based on the review itself, while i can understand that experience was terrible, i can guarantee you, that wasn't the worst you'll see in your lifetime, just travel long enough and far enough, perhaps also stay away from generalising the whole area becasue you had a few bad experiences.

    I could not agree with the previous reviewer more! This place is terrible! I dropped off a brand…read morenew blue Calvin Klein dress shirt ($75.00). When it was returned to me, not only was my name written on the collar?? but the collar was bleached white! Basically ruined my shirt. I've used dry cleaners for 15 years (not from St. Lawrence county) and this has never happened. I asked the owner why this happened and he gave me blank stare said it was not their fault. That I must have put cologne or some other material that bleached it out. And the tough luck attitude was written all over his face. This place has no concept of customer service. Take your clothes here and hope they come back in one piece. If not, well tough luck.

    Customer service is exceptional. Best homemade doughnuts I've had in a very long time. I regret not…read morebuying more as I was leaving town.

    Like much of tupper lake very racist. I am of mixed race and I am use to the racism. But this place…read morewas one of the worse I felt horrible when I left there. I first went in with my laundry and said good moring, no one responded. There was a short haired woman and a man. I later found out the woman was the owner. I began washing my clothes and went to buy doughnuts the woman seemed utterly furious that I had the audacity to ask, what flavors she had. I bought a coffee as well and not as much as a thank you for my purchase.. not a have a nice rest of hope day... nothing. I ate and took my clothes out of the washer. The woman immediately started sweeping behind me and practically under my feet. She wanted me out. I belive she was talking about me to the man that was there. She was highly upset because there was a small amount of lint from my blanket on the floor. I would of picked it up but she wouldn't let me. She again was speaking about me to the man.. instead of me drying my clothes I took them home to hang up because I couldn't stand the feeling I had being there. I felt embarrassed and I'm not sure why. I brushed it off to get having a bad morning. I wanted to not just brush it off as racism and went back in a few months later but just for donuts she gave me the exact same treatment. I was going to move to tupper lake but found that the racism in this town is real even in 2025. Im sharing this to let others know about my personal experience. I will never go in this place again. I would never want my children or anyone to feel the way I felt at this establishment.
