best experience at a laundromat i've had ever! it's so clean, cute, & so many choices of machines! joanne is so sweet & welcoming! it was my first time in the laundromat by myself without my sister since i'm not from here so i was keeping to myself but joanne started talking about what they offer there with me and they have detergent powder or liquid if you forgot it at home (which i did ) & other materials you would need to do your laundry! we also talked about our love for cute things lol! she is a fellow monchichi lover! so i will definitely go back when i come to visit & need to wash my clothes! ‍ read more

I love it! Great prices and a couple of blocks from Lake Merritt! Clean. And lots of room. Nice decorations. Small parking lot but parking on the streets. I recommend it! Rating is an A. read more

my regular laundromat. parking is probably your biggest issue here, but there's few dedicated spots in the lot with plenty on the street. kind of the smaller size but has everything you need. machines take cards which is a plus for us no cash people. $8.25 for the large washers and $0.25 for 6 minutes on the dryers. owner is super sweet and will even help out with loads if you have things to do. read more

My go-to laundry mat! The washers & dryers clean my clothing very well. The laundry mat is well maintained and cleaned. They offer machines that dispense soap/dryer sheets and change, the washers/dryers also accept card. We were short 25€ and the owner offered to cover it, then also paid for our second washing machine. Very friendly and kind owner. I highly recommend this laundry mat for all your laundry needs! read more

Great place to do laundry. The owner is very welcoming and will help if needed. Great prices read more

Foothill Wash House - Laundromat Near Me - Oakland, California

My secret wash house since 2000! Always know I can get a big machine for my rugs and bedding!!

This laundromat is the most comfortable one that I have ever been in besides home! It is spotless, homey, and even has a large aquarium in the back! The plants are gorgeous and the place is comfortable enough to take a nap in! I love this one and have declared it my place to wash! read more

The washers / dryers are all very well maintained! I prefer coming here over using the washers at my own apartments due to cleanliness. My girlfriend and I forgot our soap and was ¢25 short on one washer, the owner noticed and walked up to pay the charge + a separate washer we hadn't even paid yet. Super good people! read more

The best laundromat to go to! Such a soothing environment with all the plants and friendly workers such as Joanne. Joanne does it all as far as wash and fold with amazing prices, and the way the clothes are handled with delicacy and guaranteed to be clean.

They are stealing!! The big washers are listed for $6.25 a wash and the smaller ones $3.75. They have been charging peoples cards for $6.50 for the big washer and $3.90 for the small. Not charging the listed price is absolutely unacceptable and illegal. read more

Love this spot! The washers are spendy ($6.75/wash) but they take 4 loads at a time so they're well worth it! The space is clean, and Joanne is super friendly and helpful. I'm very glad this is my neighborhood laundromat now. read more

I moved in2 this community yesterday afternoon. Simply couldn't have scripted a more marvelous, productive, and perfectly inviting introduction 2my new neighborhood than by 'discovering' THE most amazing laundromat/ small business ever! Made particularly amazing due to my great fate making the acquaintance of Joanne the magic manager and face of this business. Wow, just WOW! I've never enjoyed doing laundry more than the hour I spent in rapt convo with Joanne who is one of those all 2rare front line managers these days who legit loves her customers, respects everyone yet is firm about respecting property and boundaries. Her machines r in tip top working order, the floors constantly swept clean, adorable homey decorations abound, as do festive ceiling lights. On occasion, such as Lunar New Year's she host an in-house celebration giving back 2her adored community Joanne grew up in this neighborhood, is proudly raising her children here, and is 4all intents and purposes the perfect community ambassador! 4all of those of u who (have every reason) consider doing laundry a slog of a chore, Foothill Washouse/ Joanne may very well change your mind! Your clothes will come out clean and fresh, whilst u have an enjoyable engaging with a manager who truly cares about both her business product and her wonderful customers! Can't wait 2return! * Foothill Wash House washing machines and dryers accept credit cards as well! read more

I may never do my own laundry again! The service is great, the people are friendly and the wash and fold is worth every penny. Thank you!! read more

This is my second time here, and it never fails. One of the wash house that opens late for people who just got off of work. Bonus side, if you don't carry cash like me, these machines accept credit cards as well. Not to mention the machines are new!!! read more

Convenient location, great hours, new machines, handy wash & fold service, and the best manager. Joanne really looks after her customers, provides excellent service, and keeps the facility clean and safe. We are glad to come here. read more

Free drying for 3 weeks?! First 3 weeks of 2021 have free drying to celebrate the grand opening. New, top of the line machines, ranging from 2-8 loads per wash at ~$3-7 depending on machine size. Machines take credit, debit and coin and there are change machines. There are vending machines if you need detergent or snacks (separate machines of course). Large steel folding tables with stools if you need to sit. Benches along the walls while you wait. Free wifi at 40mbps download speed. There was a tv on the wall playing the news, so if that's not your thing, bring headphones. I used a 6-load machine and the wash time was 24 min. For drying, the prices weren't available yet. The drying time was 16 min. I did not use any of the alteration services so I cannot comment on it, but the woman at the counter was very friendly! read more

I want to start of with saying that you hired the best person posible here AKA JOANNE! *im sorry if I didn't spell your name right* I came here because woody was packed and my mom had told me to come to foothill wash because the machines were new. I happen to give you guys a try and as soon as I entered I realized this wash house is clean and well presented! I met Joanne the second time I came here to wash because woodys was busy again and because of her I fully transitioned over and stopped going to woodys! Review for Joanne: Her excellent customer service and friendliness stole me away from a laundromat I had been going to for years! I am so happy I gave this laundromat a chance! You have a foothill laundromat customer for life as long as Joanne is there! You can honestly tell she loves her job and takes care of the store so well! She already knows my name and she engages with all the customers that walk through the doors. Makes me feel like home! And our conversations make me not dread washing and folding! Review for the business: machines are brand new! And guess what!?!? The machines take debit and credit cards not only cash! For someone who is in there mid 20's and rarely carries cash this is a big plus! It is always clean and organized. Machines are never broken down, always up and running! read more

Extremely kind employees! Very helpful and clean area. Card friendly is a big plus, eliminates the hassle of having to stop and get cash. Highly recommend! read more

I grew up right next door to this laundromat. Lots of memories of washing my entire family's clothes here. Over the years I have seen its decline. I'm legit happy to see that it has regained its former glory. I hope the rest of Oakland will too : ) read more

Love the new Laundromat with TV, free WIFI , nice and clean. The price is fair and the machines are big. Have parking outside The staff that work there are friendly. The little gift shop inside the laundromat is cute definitely is a one stop place. I feel relax and content. read more

I do not enjoy doing laundry. I take that back, I dislike the folding. This place makes it super easy and they offer wash/fold service. Joanna is wonderful and extremely thoughtful. It's always clean, safe and makes this whole process an ease. read more

This is my favorite wash house. Always clean and reliable! Joanne is so friendly and funny! She's amazing! Someday soon I will use her wash and fold. I see she only uses quality products and the price is not bad. read more

I would normally clean clothes at the laundrymat provided by my apartment building. However, overtime, I have come to enjoy coming to this laundromat. The very kind and helpful woman working here makes what is typically a sterile experience feel like a home! Very clean and decorated with care. To save time and money I normally use the large machines. Admittedly they are not cheap but, in my estimation, there is something to giving clothes the room they need to get cleaned. This morning I stopped by the local cafe for brunch while waiting. Overall, it's refreshing to find local small business owners that take a conscious pride in their business and they, especially under all the pressures they are under these days, will always have my support! read more

i love going here! there are many seats and you can wait for your laundry while looking at the cute plants and decorations thank you for providing this service to the community read more

Don't go there to dry clean ! They use regular wash machine to wash my dry clean All my clothes getting small one size Also broken my jacket zipper . read more

Wow!! This place had a major uplift. Looks like the owners truly care about the customers experience. Usually laundromats are janky and dirty. At Foothill Wash house you could pretty much eat off the floor it's that clean!! read more

I went into this place today 1/27/2021 for the first time nice and clean space the people that runs it was helpful and nice. Love the decorations and the little Gift shop. The new owners did a great job remodeling. Love it would definitely come back. read more

This place is great. It is not fancy (or even all that clean sometimes), but who cares? It is cheaper than a lot of other places and very convenient for people who live in the surrounding area. The back machines are standard top-loaders and cost $1.50... I can't believe some people pay something like $5 to wash a load at a place b/c it has a cafe and/or WiFi! I actually don't think this place has much seating at all, but I'm okay hopping on top of the folding counters and reading a book. The hours are great... But don't come after 7 or 7:30 b/c the guy often likes to close early, and I've showed up after 7 and b/c no one was doing their laundry he closed for the night. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. EXTREMELY rude. Go to Woody's a couple blocks away. Better machines, nice helpful staff, and way cleaner than this place. A friend of mine (who is in a wheelchair) and I decided to do laundry here. It's not very handicapped accessible (which I think is against the law now!) the owner made rude comments about my wheelchair bound friend after we struggled to get him into the building. The owner then would only let us get quarters for the exact amount of money it would take to do our laundry there. He wouldn't let us use the amount of soap we wanted...this whole experience was strange. Save yourself the trouble and go else where. (I go to Woody's now) read more

Despite the fact that the posted hours specify 7:30am to 9:30pm (last wash @ 8:15pm), I started a wash at 7:30pm, moved it to the dryer at 8:00pm, and found the place dark and shuttered upon my return at 8:34pm, 2 minutes after my dryer cycle was scheduled to end. Oh well, guess I've got nothing better to do than be late for work the next morning. To top things off the place is an absolute pigsty and the owner is completely passive aggressive. Would not recommend. read more

This place has probably been around for quite a while... and it shows. There are signs dated almost a decade ago that state, "Sorry for the inconvenience" but they had to raise their prices due to increased utility costs. The outside of the machines look like they haven't been cleaned in the same amount of time. However, there is a level of charm about the place that makes it all okay: classic arcade games, vending machines, plenty of seating, and a very friendly man (presumably the owner) who's always there. While you wait for your laundry, you can pop over to the Rockin' Crawfish for a beer or some fish and chips. Prices seem about standard: $2 for an 18 lb. washer, 25¢ for every 8 minutes in the dryer. read more

Handy launderette with a super friendly bloke staffing the place. He's great and the only reason I use this place.
