Absolutely love supporting this cleaners because they're actually the only (??) true green cleaning spot in the East Bay! They always are gentle and fantastic on my clothes: I've dropped off silk blazers and dresses, wool coats, delicate cashmere sweaters, etc I know it'll be in good hands. They're also very knowledgeable about proper clothing care and have been generous when I've asked for advice. I once had a horrid clothes moth infestation and the owners had great advice, which has helped continue to protect my clothes to this day. At that time their services also cleaned and rid my clothes of any remaining gross bugs. So grateful to have this service in a non-toxic way that will protect the health of my home, my family's health, the workers' health and that of the environment. Glad to support this family-owned and local business, and will continue to come here for their green cleaning services read more

This is the neighborhood dry cleaning I was looking for. I think it's run by a family. The owners are friendly, helpful and reliable. They did a great job cleaning a long dress and blazer for me. Highly recommend! read more

Wonderful owners, prices are very reasonable and the quality of their cleaning and services are unmatched. I pass by a dozen dry cleaners on my way here and it is totally worth it. They do all their cleanings in house unlike many others. read more

I got my wedding dress cleaned and preserved in a box here. It was a good deal and my dress looks beautiful! I procrastinated on getting my dress cleaned - floor length with a large train, and I waited around 2 years after my wedding. The stains were mostly on the bottom of the dress. Before I brought it to Berkland Cleaners, I sent them a photo for a quote. They were very prompt and responsive! I brought my dress in and they provided me with a ticket and date to return. They didn't text/call me when it was ready which is why I docked one star, but when I called them on the designated date, they said it was ready! So it didn't take longer than promised (about 3-4 weeks). My dress was beautifully cleaned and preserved. I was not charged extra and I received my garment bag back. The stains did not stay even after being neglected for 2 years! I would come here again for my dry cleaning needs. read more

I cannot recommend Berkland enough! I initially sought out their services to clean my wedding dress. Their location isn't particularly close to my apartment, but after reading positive reviews I decided to make the extra effort. They did so well that I won't go anywhere else. The owners are friendly, careful, and efficient. They've worked miracles on stains I thought were hopelessly set. Clothes come back vibrant in color with no chemical smell to boot. I've been a patron now for a couple years and I can't think of a time they didn't meet or exceed my expectations. Quality and kindness, my friends. That's what you get at Berkland. read more

I got my boyfriend's jersey dry cleaned here and the service was friendly, quick, and well done. They went above and beyond to squeeze me in as I was moving soon after. Thank you! read more

Such a friendly, competent, awesome family business! And lower-chemical than most dry cleaners, I think. They even did some last minute repairs on a pair of pants and a little bag that I needed. Berkland cleaners is the best! read more

My trusted dry cleaners. It's always a struggle to find a reliable dry cleaner that does a good job AND does not break the bank. Berkland Cleaners does just that. Found them on Yelp and saw good reviews. Decided to give it shot. They even have coupons for new customers. The owners are a Korean couple who are super organized and polite. I dropped off close to 20 items and got them back within a few days. My items were cleaned and pressed very professionally. And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg, either. I've been back a couple of times since then and were very satisfied each time. On one occasion my coat was not pressed correctly so I called the store. They took it back and redid it for me. If you want your favorite shirt pampered instead of being ruined, come here. Berkland will take great care of you, guaranteed! read more

This is the closest "chem-free" dry cleaners to my home so I tried them out recently. I am thrilled with the quality of work. I brought in a designer jacket that had been dry cleaned numerous times before (@ a 5-Star "traditional" dry cleaners), but it still had lots of discoloration and various stains on it. This was its "last chance" before heading off to the donation pile. When I returned to pick up said item, I decided to inspect it at home under bright lights and hallelujah the jacket looks brand new (all stains and discoloration gone), and it still fits me perfectly. Thank you, Berkland! Thank you for saving my expensive jacket! Summer 2020 Update - am getting all the cashmere sweaters and scarves cleaned, now that June gloom has mostly departed. One of my favorite cashe pullovers has a tiny little hole in the shoulder (not in the seam) which I knew was the start of trouble. Berkland to the rescue! Their very talented seamstress sewed that baby right up and you'd never even know it by looking at the sweater now. Once again - goes in old comes out new! I REALLY appreciate this business!! read more

I was moving to the area and messaged the business on Yelp as I was looking for an organic dry cleaners. Got a quick response from the owner, so decided to give them a try. I was nervous, because one of the items I brought was a down coat, and my previous cleaner ruined two of my downies. Thankfully, they did a great job, and gave me a low cost option to fix the zipper. That was a nice break from previous cleaners who always charge top dollar and would just say, you have to replace the whole zipper. Instead, what I witnessed was out of the box thinking and caring for the customer long term instead of making a quick buck. Staff is very nice, helpful, and caring. I felt welcomed to the new neighborhood, and am thrilled to be supporting a local small business that does a great job. This is my new go-to place. read more

Terrible service, rude service woman. They are very unkind to people in the Medical Field and do not want to provide service for cleaning.

I find myself writing more and more service related businesses because there are just so many good ones especially in the East Bay. My pick for today is Berkland Cleaners which is a dry cleaning service in the NOBE area. I had been searching for a while for a spot because Cleaners are a sacred relationship for me given how many suits/shirts I need to have dry cleaned on an ongoing basis. I happened to stumble upon this place via yelp a few years ago and the rest is history as they say. This place has honestly been my go-to and I would not trade them for anyone else in the world. These folks are at the corner of Ashby and Sacremento. Parking can be a bit tough in the morning given a few of the buildings that are next door but it opens up fairly quickly post 11 AM so it should be an easy parallel park and drop off situation for most. The folks who own this spot are the friendliest folks in the world and I am amazed they remember my name every single time I walk in. They literally are the most flexible as it relates to when you need your items by and they will make every effort to match your schedule. The cleaning is thorough and they even placed a button on a suit pants pocket that I didn't even realize was missing with no charge. They have literally tailored jeans for me as well without a flaw and to top it all off, their prices are very reasonable compared to what I have paid in the bay area. They have the best customer service and if I have ever found a slight blemish, they offer a redo no questions asked. They have taken out stains that I thought would not be able to be done so they just work pure magic. There is no better place to trust than this place so I highly recommend this to anyone looking for dry cleaning, laundry, tailoring, or just a happy smile read more

Well-priced, reliable and kind customer service, great experience overall! Thank you BC. :)

Really excellent service and professional business systems. Excellent alterations and patch work on damaged jacket. Got out stains form a white coat I had given up on. Very reasonable prices. So glad to have found such a wonderful cleaner in the South Berkeley area. read more

Efficient and friendly customer service. My trousers were perfectly pressed and the old stain was removed from a favorite white, sequined blouse. I felt the pricing was fair and I was pleased with the turnaround time. I'll be considering this cleaners for some of my larger items. read more

I do all my laundry here. They've been excellent. Best prices I've found and excellent service. I know that every laundry will have issues eventually, it's the law of LARGE numbers. I've had no issues here but I'm sure that when something happens (as I say it's inherent in the laundry business) I'm confident that they will do the right thing. Good work, good people. read more

I love Berkland Cleaners! Everytime I come here, the people are so nice! I recently had my wedding dress cleaned and put into a preservation box. When they were done, they texted me pictures of my dress before placing it into the box and pics of how the dress looked inside. That little gesture was so thoughtful of them. When I came to pick it up, it turned out to be slightly less in cost than when they first quoted me. How often does that happen? Go to Berkland Cleaners to get your wedding dress and other items cleaned! You won't be disappointed! read more

See all

Great cleaners. Friendly & totally knowledgeable. I've had dry cleaning, alterations done and I really appreciate their techniques & they've been so accommodating when I've come to them with last minute crisis that come up now and again. And 100% organic If I had to go out of my way to get to them I would. You cant complain - trust me they know their stuff. Julia is especially accommodating and so friendly read more

I brought in a duvet cover and two pillowcases on a Thursday to get the yellow color out of the white checked pattern. He quoted me $35 and wasn't sure if he could get the stain out so he said to come back Monday, and if they couldn't do anything he wouldn't charge me for it. On Monday they were able to look up my order even though I had forgotten my tag. The duvet is still off white, but much improved. I think I just need to get a new one. Awesome quick service and I will definitely be going back again! read more

Love the people who work here and get the job done! Why it's a drop off +'s: + Friendly service + Promises delivery of items and never fails + Reasonable time to return items + Prices are fair. + So good that they tell me to take the item back to wash on gentle cycle and tumble dry low heat so I can save $20 on a duvet. + Does simple pant hems without any issue. Why it's not a drop off -'s: - Can't think of a reason why not. Really glad I found this place where I can trust the people to do good work and even tell me how to save. Definitely a repeat customer for this place! read more

Went here due to great Yelp reviews. But our actual experience was underwhelming and service was borderline rude/incompetant. We greeted the owner with a smile and a hello, but she barely acknowledged us. Fine, maybe she was having a bad day. We had several items to drop off. We had several sports coats, suits and dresses. While handing them over and itemizing what we were handing her: "3 sports coats." she promptly interrupted and corrected us: "It's a jacket." (Or "You mean jackets.") Um. Yes, it IS a jacket. It is also widely known as a sports coat. You'd think someone in her industry would know that, but w/e. Ok, Fine, maybe she is having a bad day. Went on to several other items. We pointed out a couple of light sweat stains on some shirts and she made a note about them. We asked her: "Out of curiosity, do you do the dry cleaning here or off-site somewhere?" She said they use natural chemicals on site that are non-toxic. Oh cool! We said, better for the environment! When I was doing a final count to make note how many of each clothing type we were leaving with her, she corrected me again when I said sports coats (while counting to myself). That's just rude. Fast forward a week, and we go to pick up our dry cleaning, and the shirts all still had stains on them. They didn't even appear to have been cleaned it all, merely ironed or pressed. We pointed this out to her, and she seemed irritated that we were pointing this out to her, and she said it's because they use natural, less harsh chemicals, that's why the stains didnt come out. She said that they would wash them again and see if they would come out. Another week later, and of course the stains did come out, no problem, because they apparently weren't even cleaned the first time. So we won't be going back here. For the record, we are incredibly polite and kind customers, always friendly and sweet, but the owner was just brusque and unkind. Surprised they have such high reviews, the other dry cleaners in town must really suck. read more

Berkland Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - Berkeley, California

This is a wonderful place if you're looking for a quality establishment to clean your clothes. The service is great, the prices are reasonable, and the quality of the work is exceptional. I've always had a great experience with them and have been impressed they remember both me and my wife after only a couple of times. So many reviews on dry cleaners are filled with what is wrong but it's no wonder this place has more than four stars. They are also environmentally responsible which is a huge plus in the Berkeley area. The only downside is there isn't much parking but that's a minor problem. read more

Love this place! They do great work here. They are very fast, friendly, and very accommodating. On multiple occasions, when I or my husband had an emergency they've arranged to stay open and help us. They are wonderful at both cleaning and alterations and mending torn items. Parking is also very easy here. Julie is usually in front and she and Michael her husband are both warm and kind always. read more

This review is long overdue: I brought my trench coat here to be dry cleaned because it was so highly rated. My trench coat was a little dirty on my belt and along the edges and ends on my jacket. When I got my jacket back the stains where gone but there was a bleach stain right next to my collar. What's crazy is the lady at the counter put stickers next to the spots that needed to be cleaned and I ended up with this discoloration on my coat. Now my trench coat I bought in another country that fit me perfectly is ruined and I have to buy a new trench coat that doesn't have a visible discoloration mark on it! read more

I came to Berkland to have my precious wedding dress cleaned and had a wonderful experience. The price point was extremely reasonable and the individuals who helped me were kind and helpful. I will definitely be coming back for other dry cleaning needs! read more

What a joy to find these folks. I came in on the day of my wedding, with a pleat in my pants messed up from the drive in. Went in and they helped me right away, had my pants pressed in an hour and had a price more reasonable than I was prepared for. They were polite and it was a pleasure to share a conversation with them, and be offered exceptional service. read more

My favorite cleaners. The hours are better than most dry cleaners and they're always very accommodating. Each time I visit, I'm greeted with a smile and even compliment when the attendant is feeling extra friendly. :-) All of their cleaning products are natural/eco-friendly. read more

Writing a review for this place is long overdue! I began coming here last year, and I believe it's a couple that runs the place but the customer service from both of them is impeccable. They are both SO friendly it is truly a pleasure every time I come in. All my items come back in better shape than I left them, and they manage to get out even the worst stains. I work at a law firm and use these blue inky pens and get the stains all over my clothes and amazingly they get them out every time. I'm always very impressed. I highly recommend! read more

Excellent cleaners! Everyone is super friendly -- they were really helpful accommodating our schedule, and despite it being the first time we used the place, they recognised us as soon as we walked in to collect. The prices are also really fair, and our clothes came back smelling fresh and not at all of cleaning chemicals or detergent. Lovely! read more

Such patient and meticulous owners. This is the sort of business that works so hard at keeping their customers pleased.

Really nice people - didn't even get upset that I'd forgotten dry cleaning with them for three months. (which for the record Id totally have understood). Also good , reliable and consistent cleaning work. read more

I love this business. They are bro-sis owned and do a fantastic job - they even removed years-old stains from one of my favorite sweaters! They do hemming and minor alterations too. Most of all they are always super friendly and helpful, never lose or misplace anything, and make sure everything's perfect. I never go anywhere else. read more

This is my go to dry cleaning place. I came here cause they have introductory coupons. Check out the websites to request them. The lady that runs the shop is really nice and friendly and it is usually pretty easy to find street parking to drop off and pick up stuff. read more

So kind, clean, and professional! I trust them with my clothing and their prices are very affordable. My friend had her dress altered here, and it was done really well. It was a tricky dress to alter too since it was higher in the front and lower in the back. Overall really good quality and for a good price too. read more

Very friendly family business, hard working, they do a good job, and also clothing alterations/sewing. Nothing beats knowing you are not inhaling any toxic chemicals. Please support their business so we can all stay in good health read more

Love this place. Been looking for a new cleaning spot and just love the service and friendliness. Good prices too.

Berkland Cleaners is really fantastic; I recommend them to anyone needing a good dry cleaning service. Very friendly, great quality service! When I lived in the Bay Area, they were my go-to! Know that you and your clothing will be well taken care of here. read more

I've been coming here for years and am always impressed with the warmth and professionalism of the staff. They happen to be located near where I live, but would be well worth a drive for the excellent service! read more

Really friendly, helpful, and honest service. I had my faux suede couch covers cleaned here and they were super upfront about the process and even gave me a discount when I picked them up. read more

I will never come back here. I brought in shorts that were supposed to be dry clean only and I got them back with a stain. I tried to talk to them about it and they wouldn't even listen to me. They just kept talking over me refusing to hear any of my concerns. Instead of getting into a shouting match I walked away. There would be nothing to win anyways. If they did a bad job the first time, got defensive when questioned, they'd probably ruin my shorts if I gave them a second chance. They're rude and unprofessional. read more
