I didn't really think I'd see the day when I'd give something as basic and bereft of enthusiasm…read moregeneration as a laundromat the maximum rating but I'm throwing out the 5 star carpet to welcome Blue Diamond to Yelp. And the reason for the rave review boils down to one single thing that's often repeated in triplicate: location, location, location! I mean, it does have other things going for it but at the end of the day it's still a laundromat. Here's what's so special about BDL. It's open all night and it's next door to a diner that, for 4 out of 7 nights at least, is also open all night. I can throw my clothes in the wash, walk a few feet over to Phoenix Coney Island, get a carryout, eat most of it in the laundromat while waiting for the wash to finish, not miss a moment throwing it in the dryer, and then finish my grub while my clothes tumble dry. No idle time surfing the internet on my phone, watching bits and pieces of a show on Hulu or whatever streaming service I have at the moment, no, ahem, pecking out Yelp reviews. Pure, glorious nourishment of my belly to help soothe the drudgery of laundry. It's an absolutely ingenious set up. Even college towns like Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti don't have this one two punch of essential services and I don't know why. It's kind of cool the way Blue Diamond is off the main drag of Van Dyke but also why I never noticed it, nor did anyone else on Yelp, til recently. I was just in here late Easter night for a little grub and glow up (does cleaning one's clothes count as a glow up? Maybe I'm being overly charitable here but I always strive for alliteration) and an attendant came in for a little clean up and coin retrieval at that late hour. I chatted him up some and he said he thought the place had been open for about two years. He didn't know what it was before which I'm curious about as the building has an interesting look with a slanted roof that rises and rises the farther away from Van Dyke it gets. Blue Diamond is very bare bones when it comes to decor. Boring white walls. No video games or pinball, just a couple vending machines- snacks and sodas and water. But who cares, right? All night coney island right next door. The attendant says they might even try to start serving food out of the laundromat which seems pretty unnecessary to me, but there is one area with a counter and a metal roll down window above it that does look like it's unused space. I also complimented the attendant on how clean the place is and then looked around and saw there was actually a bunch of dryer sheets and assorted litter around on the floor. But hey, it was the end of a holiday weekend. On my other visit the place is as spic and span as you'd hope for. All night laundromats aren't the easiest to keep spotless. As he said sometimes people roll through and trash the place. And honestly as long as the machines and folding tables are clean I don't care too much if the rest is a little rough around the edges. I'm too busy stuffing my face with food from next door. The only downside of Blue Diamond is it's a bit out of my way, but hey, I can't really mark them down for that, right? It just means I usually end up at worse laundromats that are more conveniently located. If I ever find myself in a living situation with on site laundry it would be a tremendous accomplishment but I might even miss this place a little. And I've only been here a couple times so far!

I was on the phone at the time so slightly distracted by the very abrasive and rude laundromat attendant. Her first question was asking if I need assistance, I explained what I was trying to do and acknowledged that I needed to go get money. Several seconds later, she asked again, and I told her I did have some cash that I would be using. She then begin to ask questions as to what I was doing and why I didn't have any clothes with me. Before I could explain that my blankets were in my trunk of my car and I was just trying to see how to pay, she continued to escalate as she stated that I couldn't be there without clothes. I assured her that I was gonna be washing clothes, yet she continued to berate me and became more and more visceral in her approach. At that point, I explained to her that she could no longer assist me, and I did not require her assistance at all. Yet she continued to berate me and then told me I had to leave the establishment. I asked her why I was leaving when I didn't need her assistance from the beginning, yet she explained that it was her business and that she did not have to serve me. At that point, she proceeded to call the police and told me that the police were on their way. I'm still shocked by what I just experienced....
