I believe this laundromat must be under new management because the customer service has gone…read moredownhill. Several machines are either barely working or completely out of order. There is a large hole in the ceiling, and the dryers are no longer getting hot. Today was my last day patronizing this establishment. I brought my concerns to the attendant on duty, specifically that the dryers were not heating properly. Instead of addressing the issue, she was rude and dismissive and told me to continue putting my coins into the machine--which makes absolutely no sense when the dryer isn't working. Between the poor maintenance, unsafe conditions, and unprofessional customer service, this place is no longer worth the time or money. Highly do not recommend.

Unfortunately my washer broke and my husband and I needed to wash desperately just to last us until…read moreour new unit arrives! So we actually yelped the closest laundry mat and this one came up. So this place was clean and convenient. They have 15 machines I believe but a few of them were actually broken. They have 3 large washers for heavy duty items like comforters but unfortunately none of them worked. 1 was complete unplugged and the other 2 would not accept quarters when we tried to use it. The best past was the washers were fast and efficient but pricey! $4.00 for a light load. I'm not sure of the standard price but at my old on-site wash house it was only $1.75 so that's significantly more than what I'm used to. The dryers are $.25cent for 6 minutes. So it costs about $1.25 to get a good dry! Not too shabby! This place is overall a great place to do laundry. When we went it was completely empty! Also they have a few chairs, a folding table and they have a vending machine! I say if your close enough to try this place it's worth it.

They have giant machines for $12 with extra features for a bit more. At the smallest, there are $4 machines. I did a white blanket in one and a medium sized dirty rug in another. All machines except the smallest take credit cards and phone. Change machine for the smallest is right next to the machines and new and always full. Laundry gets clean. Dryers don't burn clothes. Attendants are excellent. You can tell it's family owned and they care. Oh - side facing the sidewalk is all glass, so it's beautifully sunny, if we have sun. Easy parking, even on street cleaning days. Never crowded. They also have wash n fold. I've never used it. Based on how responsive the people here are and how neat and organized the finished laundry looks, I would bring my laundry here.

My apartment building has terrible laundry machines so was very happy to find Grand Ave Launderette…read morevia Yelp. I just purchased a linen quilt and new sheets for the summer and wanted to give them a good wash so took them to GAL. Stopped by Friday morning and was greeted with friendly smiles and help opening the door. The owners sorted through my items and gave me an estimated price. They also offered me a discount because it was my first time there. The owner wanted to make sure I understood that the linen quilt may be wrinkly, and I was like, "I hope so!" Ha! We also discussed pick-up time. They noted they could get the items to me later that day, but I told them I might have a meeting and asked if I could pick up the next morning. They were very accommodating. Upon pick-up, all of my items were ready and packaged beautifully. I was so happy to have a freshly laundered bed without the headache. A quick note: the hours on Yelp are their typical hours, but they've adjusted them during the pandemic. Friday, they were open 9 AM- 3 PM.

Hands down this is the best business I have been to in a long time. The family who owns and runs this company are incredibly kind and caring, and I am so thankful to be able to come to this place and trust that my child's clothes and bedding are cleaned with the utmost care; they even package his little clothes neatly in paper. Oh, the joy it brings me to spend my money here!! Side note: I got locked out of my car one day, and the family made sure I was able to contact AAA. The father even looked out for me until they came. This is exactly what our community needs. Thank you, Grand Ave Launderette Family!

I normally go to another spot on University but they were closed on Easter Sunday…read more Since it was still early, made me way on San Pablo and noticed this spot. Parked in front since I was unaware of rear parking. Arrived and only 1 other person washing. Noticed I had to download an app (another one to add to the list) and it was a breeze. I did observed an attendant who was busy with the shop vac cleaning out the dryer vents as well as doing loads of laundry. The area is maintained cleaned and no machines out of order. I did run into an issue and approached the lady who I observed cleaning. Catherine when asked her name reset the dryer since it went crazy after trying to add more time. She reset it and asked me how everything was going. Guess it was obvious it was my first time. Lol Highly recommend and great place.

## Review: The Laundry Room (Berkeley & Oakland, San Pablo)…read more I've been to both Laundry Room locations--Berkeley and Oakland--and funny enough, they're both on San Pablo. I actually ended up at the Oakland one by accident (directionally challenged over here!), but I'm glad I did because both spots are equally impressive. Over the past year, I've dealt with housing instability, which means I've spent a lot of time in laundromats across the Bay Area. For me, keeping my clothes clean is a way of maintaining dignity and stability when life feels chaotic. Right now, I'm staying with friends and doing laundry for their whole household every week, so I've become something of a laundromat connoisseur. And let me tell you--The Laundry Room chain is hands-down the nicest laundromat experience I've had anywhere. ### What Makes Them Stand Out - **Top-notch machines**: All brand new, spotless, and seemingly sterilized daily. - **Attendant always on-site**: Unlike most laundromats where you have to call a number and wait for help, here there's always someone present, constantly cleaning and keeping everything in order. - **Cleanliness**: No moldy, grimy machines like you find elsewhere. Everything is sparkling. - **Amenities**: Bathrooms for customers (rare in laundromats!), free Wi-Fi, flatscreen TVs with live sports, and even free coffee. - **Atmosphere**: Chill enough that I once brought in some fried chicken from down the block, and no one batted an eye. ### Practical Perks - **Parking lot in the back**: Huge plus in the Bay Area. - **Machine sizes**: No super-small washers here--the smallest is a medium, starting at $5. Perfect for big loads. - **Neighborhood extras**: Right on the block you'll find two fantastic Mexican supermarkets and a fantastic Arab market (house made baklava!) all of which accept EBT. ### Final Thoughts After visiting laundromats all over the Bay, The Laundry Room has become my go-to spot. Between the cleanliness, amenities, and friendly staff, it's a five-star experience every time. Whether you're in Berkeley or Oakland, you'll feel comfortable doing laundry here--and maybe even enjoy it.
