Moldy. Gross. Dusty. Disgusting. Yuck. These all words that I can use to describe my big winter coats that I initially thought, was beyond saving, a couple of months back. With basically no hope left and reading excellent beyond excellent reviews regarding this cleaner, I figured: why not?!? What's the worst that can happen?! Upon stepping into this place, I was greeted by the lovely Mimi. She, too, was scared of the abomination that were my three, large winter coats. Kindly note that this place is small but organized, it's bright and pretty clean. Anywho, I digress. Lovely Mimi said she would definitely try her hardest to clean them but she couldn't make any promises. I appreciated her candor and I told her to work her magic. She was so sweet acknowledging my comment and I left there with nothing but a wish. Fast forward to now and Mimi texted me letting me know my costs were ready for pick up. I picked them up and legit was shocked. She was able to turn my gross jackets into something of wonder and happiness. She cleaned the heck outta of those jackets; no mold, no smell, no dust, nothing gross...Mimi and her magic hands pulled out a magic wand over my jackets and made them brand new again. I was in awe and so appreciative. Prices were decent and I definitely will be back. Thanks Mimi for everything!! I highly recommend going here to see Mimi for any of your dry cleaning needs, she, indeed, works magic here..I can assure you of it. read more

I've been waiting ages to get my pantsuit and lined wool pants hemmed. If they do a good job, it's bliss! If not, so sad...I mean, it is hard enough to find clothes you like enough to consider hemming...a bad hem is just, well, ahem, can't say that word on yelp. But a good hem, now that, THAT is something to praise. And yes folks there be praise-worthy hemming here. I would take my pants, skirts, tube tops, whatever you want, to Mimi, who does all the hemming at her workstation by the front window. Maybe needless to say, but they also do shoe repair, dry cleaning, pressing and the like here!! I find their hours and location convenient to drop in and have not tried the pick-up and drop off service, but it's darn swell that they offer it. Prices are good too. I'll be back. read more

If I could give them a negative star I would. I've been going to this dry cleaner for under a year and, for the most part, was satisfied with their services until last week. Last week, I dropped off four garments which included a jumpsuit, two blazer, and one dress, for dry cleaning ONLY. On July 1, 2011, I picked up my clothes and paid my bill. It is not until I got home that I noticed that one of the clothing items, the jumpsuit, that I dropped off was altered. In other words, they made some alterations, which I never requested. And as a result, the front side of my jumpsuit around the waist is unevenly stitched. It appears that they removed too much fabric which resulted in my jumpsuit looking lopsided. I called the dry cleaner to inquire about the matter as I only requested that my clothes be dry cleaned only! Since the store was clothed on July 4th, the owner told me to come in on Tuesday when the store would be open to handle the situation. On Tuesday, July 5, 2011 I brought my garment in and inquired about the unauthorized alterations that I never requested and demanded my money back and also told them that I'm going to take my garment to my tailor to fix and that they would be responsible for the charges. The owner stepped out of the store and came back 5 to 10 minutes later stating that he would not reimburse me as I would not be able to prove that he made those unauthorized alterations. I'm currently in the process of contesting the charges on my credit card and I'm reporting them to the BBB. So buyer beware!!!!! You're better off taking your business else where! read more
