So I rarely review anything on yelp, but I had to take the time and share my experience here (while I wait for my dry to finish). This laundromat is very close to my place, but I usually went farther out because of the broken machines. This month I noticed a New Ownership sign out front so decided to take a look. There is no comparison to how it was before. Aesthetically it is really comfortable. New paint, new wooden accent wall, a TV with Netflix! I mean I do not enjoy laundry day but this makes the time fly. On a more important note, all the machines are functioning. So instead of waiting and waiting I can get my clothes done pretty quick. New owners are often here, and they say new machines with card pay options are coming soon. Even gave me a few quarters for my dry. Its good to see that people care to make the community better. Everyone has laundry and this place is the spot to get it done.

This Laundromat is a block form my house and Ive been using it for 3 years. Miss Lottie is Fantastic and is great for the community in general and the Laundromat in particular. Why 1 star??? More than 50% of the machines have not been working for over 1 year. And now more and more are broken down. Example. There are 9 medium sized washing machines. 2 work. I spend about $10 week doing my laundry. Times 52 weeks a year is $520. Until these machines are fixed, I will drive my laundry somewhere else. I encourage anyone who can do this to protest this business until they provide a reasonable serve..

Former customer at Wesley here. Love what the new owners have done with the place. Have it a much needed makeover, and clearly their hard work shows. Everything is clean, and all the machines have worked smoothly for me. Nice bonus having the tv and free wifi! Spoke with the new owners the other day, and they told me they have new machines on the way which will also take credit/debit/Apple Pay. They stop by the shop frequently to make sure everything is running without fail. Great spot with local owners!

Under its new owner, this laundromat is wonderful. Everything is modern and works well. This is a far cry from the previous ownership when most of the machines were broken most of the time. Although I live nearby, I went elsewhere and mentioned this in a review. The new owner reached out a few months ago asking me to give it another chance. I appreciated that, and now am back to this laundromat.

3.5 stars. The proprietress is super nice and I have only had to wait for a machine once or twice. The downside is that a lot of the machines are out of order, which is a mild frustration. There may be three or four dozen machines (washers and dryers), but maybe 30-50% not working correctly. In the other hand, not much wait, so supply seems to match demand...

I love wearing clothes but theyre constantly getting dirty. I also hate spending my whole day doing laundry. This laundromat is the best in the bay. I can run 4-5 loads at a time and be done in about an hour. Fast, clean, free wifi, flat screen TV, updated machines. Same wash&fold as before. Bonus is its a local family owned business.

Thee most welcoming, family owned and operated laundromat I will always go back to. Washers and driers can use both coin and card. Amazon locker delivering service provided. Free wifi. Great owners. There is nothing more I could have ever asked for in a laundromat.

Machines are more reliable since new management took over. Come see Miss Lottie! UPDATE: They have replaced all of the machines. They all now take cards as well as quarters. The dryers dried my load I half the time. They also have free WiFi.

Luv the makeover they gave this place! The machines Ive used have worked flawlessly. You can tell, the new owners of this place actually care about this place. The best part......the washing machines have the perfect amount of suds

So glad I stopped In here to do my laundry. New owners have really turned this place around. Free wifi and TV. Plenty of washers and dryers. They keep the laundromat seriously clean here.

Travelling from Europe met the lovely lady (Dotty I think? sorry it was a few months ago) and she was super helpful and kind with our wash and helped get it all done and smell good.

Ive had Dee do all my laundry for the last 18 months. She always does a great job and always on time.

Friendliest and most helpful laundry in town.

Best laundromat in Oakland, hands down.
