Terrible in every way. It's pricy, dingy and oddly laid out, forces you to use a card rather than quarters (though, of course, you still have to load that card with cash. No extra convenience here!) and said card never reads on the first time - sometimes not even on the 8th! Oh, and the attached cafe closes early, so if you're doing laundry after work, forget about having a nice place to hang out while you wait. Last time I went there the door sign was incorrectly turned to "closed," the ATM was unplugged, the only assistant was in the cafe mopping, and my towels came out of the dryer smelling weird. I'd rather walk an extra block or so to go anywhere else, and recommend others do the same.

My usual laundromat was gone!?! This was closest. Prices were a full 15% higher than just down the street. The laundry card is ok a least I have money on it for next time. Put all my stuff in large washer ($10). Didn't work. Had to pull my soap out by hand and change machine. Drier. Same thing.i loaded and then had to swap out. Would be nice if out of order signs were there. The attached cafe was ran by two rude ladies with the whole looking at me up and down rolling their eyes trying to decide if I actually needed change. I have to come back because I put $20 on the card but when that's done probably won't return. Who knows maybe next trip will be different

The location is clean enough, but there machines seem to be both too aggressive and yet don't clean that well. The last time I went three separate shirts came out with cracked buttons l, two zip-up hoodies lost the zipper pulls, and one sweater came out with a gnarled collar. On top of that, two shirts went missing. On top of all that, a number of pieces just didn't seem as clean as one would expect.

  • Stephen Schur

I had a large bedspread that needed a big, front loading machine, so I went to Carlin's. No quarters here, it works off a stored value card. There's a dollar left on my card, to get me to come back. There's one or two guys on cell phones using Carlin's Laundromat as their office, but the adjacent Carlin's cafe is quiet. There's free wifi in both places. And yes, the bedspread came out looking good.

  • Alex Brandin

Nice modern laundromat. More on the pricy side. It is puzzling to me that there is a significant number of washers and/or dryers out of service every time I go there. The washing machines use very little water. Because of that I find it quite tricky to figure out the appropriate dosage of detergent. When taking a "normal" amount it results in over soaping.

  • Frisky Frog (Fathertree)

so I couldnot get the machinesto work, then talkedwith management. She explainedthat the machinesneed to be closed before I could pay... I was getting frustrated lol.. good service.. good clean place.. no snack nor soda machines.. clean.. cheap.. fast and the dryers are fast..

I went last Saturday at 8:00am, construction crew ripped up street for next hour heard jack hammering. Migraine headache ALL day long. Love the laundry place, a little pricey but worth it!!! My clothes always, always, always get clean. I hate top loaders, love front loaders.

  • Sebastian Rosch

The machines were clean and easy to use. Many were out of service but still enough usable ones. I couldn’t find a price list so pricing was kind of intransparent. Also the vending machines only accept cash and the detergent dispenser only accepts coins.

  • David Kirkland

Excellent. Constantly cleaning surfaces. Reasonable prices. Friendly folks. No one ever steals my stuff. Only issue is the annoying card stuff (reads right only about half the time. Doesn't seem to add the bonus that it says it will.).

  • Erick Lara

Ótima lavanderia! A lavagem me custou $3 e a secagem $1. Não pode lavar após as 9pm. Em anexo tem uma cafeteria também da família Carlin’s, com preço justo e excelente para um café da manhã ou lanche da tarde.

  • Cristina Juarez

Place is okay not anything special I rarely see anyone who works in there unless its about to close dryers and washers are kinda old and it didn't feel like my clothes get washes fully

  • Deanna Green

I BEEN GOING HERE SINCE I BEEN LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO , CALIFORNIA THEY ARE A CLEAN SPACE TO WASH MY CLOTHES THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT 4/21/20 IT'S A GOOD ONE TO DO YOUR LAUNDRY .

  • Isaiah Brown sye

Mr.Robert and Mr.Mark are some of the nicest guys in the world always have change for me and trash bags too put my clothes in really thank you for your service

  • Erwin Garcia

Overpriced for machines that are mostly out of order and dry machine that doesn't dry your clothes. I remember dryers were 75 cents and now it's 1 dollar

  • Jane Shorey

Simple and easy. Needs more basic signs for those who have never been before but an easy and simple process once you have the laundry card.

  • JOHN DONOHUE

Clean nice bathroom. The card system for wash actually works pretty well, cafe closed and that is sad. Bring a book or something.

  • Michael Grandfield

Always clean, machines are in good order, and there's always an attendant. It's a card system, so leave your quarters at home.

  • Aaron Chang

Place does NOT open at 6 am even though their signage says so. Threw my entire schedule off when I stopped by at 6:35 am.

  • Sweep Master

Clean and maintained. Lost $3 in a machine that ended up not working. However, everything else worked out just fine.

  • Felicito Leiva
