Pretty funky. Absolutely the friendliest, most helpful attendant. If I lived here , I would use it regularly.

The washers rip you off. $2.75 for 23 minutes! And the first 5 minutes the washer just spins without adding water! Plus the dryers are always broken. I'm going to start going to the new one at 7th and Federal. read more

10th Street Laundromat is pop music posing as alternative rock, and it frustrates me beyond comparison. Located just at the edge of South Philadelphia (just a block and you're in Center City!), a first glance pegs this joint as super hip and cool. And it couldn't be more intentional: having had the sad fortune of interacting with the owner, a lady who is far more interested in image than product, it is no small fact that you are supposed to be fooled into thinking you're at a cool coffee bar. But you're not. You're at a laundromat. A cramped, sweaty, overpriced laundromat. The foundations are no different than any other laundromat: washers and dryers are packed in so tight that you can barely maneuver your way through. There is NO seating; which is to say there are a few (3 maybe) rickety folding chairs which are rarely free for use. It is HOT and CRAMPED. Did I mention that? The only way to remain comfortable is to go sit outside, where they have put some nice wooden benches. The cost is pretty high in comparison with other places, and you can't help but figure you're paying extra to be "hip". One load of laundry is $1.25 and the dryer goes up by 6 minutes for every quarter you chuck in. Unless it's the weekend, at which point those prices double. People comment on the art that is displayed here and the live bands that sometimes play. Neither are very good. The art that is hung up is usually horrendously bad, with the occasional tolerable item gracing the walls. It screams "Freshman art student." Honestly, if they could ditch the artwork and instead make more room to move around or be seated, I wouldn't complain. The staff is a disaster. They have a penchant for hiring young-ish emo types who play Tori Amos all day and don't make eye contact. Recently they have replaced several of them with some Hispanic staff who, bless their hearts, simply don't have enough of a mastery of the English language to be in a customer service position. Just today I called to find out if they were keeping regular hours for Labor Day, and the young woman who answered my call couldn't make heads or tails out of my question. The bottom line is that Tenth Street Laundromat is nothing special masquerading as something special. In point of fact it is sub-par in terms of price, customer service and comfort. To quote Stephen Sondheim: "Nice is different than good." Don't be fooled. read more

Tenth Street Laundromat - Laundromat Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great neighborhood gem. Kind and responsive staff and nice customers. Quintessentially a Philadelphia business at its best in service to guests with charm and value. read more

Clean. Clean. Clean. Clean. Clean. Did It mention that it's clean? Nothing peeves me more than a washing machine covered in dried soap and dryers decorated with the lint of a thousand pairs of strange underwear. This place is practically spotless. They've even put fucking art up on the walls. Art in a goddamn laundromat!? It's like I've died and gone to laundromat heaven! The staff is very friendly (unless you try to walk in after "last wash"). Free Wi-Fi is a great idea. Almost as great a the Jazz they play over the radio! Go on a Tuesday. The wash is only $1.25. (Wednesday, too.) read more

Tenth Street Laundromat - Laundromat Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have been going to this laundromat 1-2 times a week for 3 years consistently. Everything seems pretty good, it's super close to me and has a very friendly vibe most of the time. Not this time, though. Last week I discovered a large portion of my clothes had been ruined by bleach. I never use bleach, nor does my gf. As we both have sensitive skin. So now 1/3 of my clothes are ruined. Great. This week, as we enter my gf informs the lady about what happened, offering that maybe they could put a sign up warning against excessive use of bleach, as it can affect others. They kind of wrote her off, as we expected, telling her they could only refund her money if we told them the moment it happened. We never asked for a refund, just wanted to avoid others from having to have their belongings ruined. The workers then began speaking about us in Spanish. I know this because Spanish is my gfs first language. "What does she want us to do, buy her new clothes?!hahaha!" No, that's not what we want. Maybe just some sympathy and professionalism. read more

Tenth Street Laundromat - Laundromat Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I dragged myself out of bed before 8am and trudged down here for my first adventure to a laundromat. I picked the best time and place for this excursion. I walked into this small space, greeted by the one lady working and the only other patron. Both ladies were helping me figure out the washers and the best strategy for getting everything done at once! I got the scoop on the cheaper-yet-rickety machines. I also found out that the machines are cheaper on certain days...something I really appreciate. The place is rather delightful for a place dedicated to an obnoxious chore. There's lots of art all over the walls to look at and a neat mosaic underneath the washers. The downside is that the main room is really narrow and cramped. They compensate with a sitting area though! It looks like they had a pretty dedicated following for laundry services as people were constantly in and out. I was out of there and back home before 10am, which was when people were beginning to trickle in. Will definitely be back! read more

This place will immediately make you say "awww" when you see it. Artsy glass tiles and art decorate the outside of this corner spot and there are window flower boxes. There are benches outside for passerby to relax. The inside walls are lined with local art and there is even free WIFI! read more

What do you really look for in a laundromat? My two big things are convenience and cleanliness. I don't like taking my laundry in my car, so my convenience radius is only a few blocks from my apartment. This one is a block and a half away, so no car needed. It's also kept very clean, with minimal soap or lint buildup. Many times I see one of the clerks wiping down the machines when he's not busy. He also recognises me as a regular, and always says hello. There are a few tables available for folding, but not too much room to sit. They offer free wifi, and usually have decent music playing off satellite radio. Prices for standard washers is 2.50, and 6 minutes per quarter in the dryers. They have a few large machines that I haven't used. I believe they also offer dropoff service. read more

I have been bringing my laundry here for a few months now. Absolutely no complaints. The people are always nice, usually I can drop it off in the morning before work and pick it up later that day on the way home...you can't beat that. Occasionally I will have to wait till the next day, and even rarer a couple days, but even then I am never in such a rush that I need my laundry right away...not to mention they are taking the stress out of doing laundry, period. Just as a note if you are thinking about bringing your stuff: -it's $1 per pound -you pay up front -cash only read more

I came here because I was about to go on a camping trip and washing all the comforters and sleeping bags I needed in my tiny washer would have taken forever. I opted for the drop-off service. According to the listed prices my 3 sleeping bags, 2 comforters and 1 blanket should have cost about $100. I think those prices are based on you only dropping off one comforter though, and the woman adjusted the price without me even asking her to. After my 20% off coupon I ended up only paying $40, which is well worth it to not have to struggle with huge comforters in my tiny washing machine. The place seemed clean, the people were nice, and the blankets came back super, super clean. Minus a star because their Yelp profile says they take cards, but they are indeed CASH ONLY. I plan on going back every time I have a comforter to wash. Worth it for sure. read more

What a treat! I am getting ready to move and have a lot on my stressful plate these days so I was at a loss of finding energy to do my laundry. And I had LOTS of it to do! Having it done at 10th street was an absolute luxury! Even my fitted sheet was beautifully folded! Highly recommend! They were super sweet and did an awesome job! read more

Love this place. Most pleasant laundromat in the world. If there are any problems- ask the staff! They'll help you! Se habla español.

An indie band, I can't remember which one, actually played the 10th Street Laundromat as if it were a venue, which is just silly but kind of cute. I have never really been a fan of the mosaic tile that covers parts of Philly like a scourge of colorful plankton. However, anything to make a laundromat more appealing is aces in my book. They also have $2 days with free drying. And as always, I am a big fan of wi-fi, particularly when it gives me something to do while I sit and my clothes spin. read more

I have been dropping off my laundry here for the past three years. Evie is always quick to offer excellent customer service. Most importantly, she is incredibly kind and funny! They do an excellent job and I can not imagine going anywhere else. read more

Tasha went above and beyond for us on a busy day, showing warm hospitality to a couple from out of town. Thanks! Highly recommended. read more

*Edited 02/14/2012* I had a problem with this laundromat the first time I used them. A couple of my things were stained and I had some trouble getting it worked out. A little while ago, however, the owner found out what happened and made things right. I thought she would want me to amend my bad review, but when I mentioned it she told me to leave it up, and said "The world is a competitive place. We strive to do good work." read more

i used to fantasize that this was my laundromat. AAAAAND now it is. and i love my laundromat. i used to walk by here, passing the bright and art-laden facade, covered in mirrored murals and overflowing with color, cheery music, and an eclectic mix of neighborhood folks in and around the space. i wanted to know what it was like - to do laundry here, to laugh and talk with these regulars....and now, i am one of them. i live literally one block away. and i love it. love it love it love it. you know what else i love? my clothes get cleaner in this laundromat than they did in any other place i have lived, including in houses with their own washers and dryers. my friend tells me it's probably because of the side loading washers, that they pull the water out from the side so it's more effective. i am inclined to agree, but who cares what the reason is? my clothes are awesome. need more reason why this place kills it? Monday Tuesday Wedesday it's "$1.50 a load" ALL DAY. you heard me. a full dollar off. if it is NOT M-W-T I will WAIT an entire week until it is time, because really? i can do 3 loads, washed AND dried for 5 bucks. Forgot cash? Not a problem - certain machines take debit cards. There are 3 attendants (that i have met), and i love them all. anytime i have had an issue with a given machine, i am refunded or compensated, no questions asked. things are impeccably clean, there are recycling receptacles, the bathroom is clean, there are snack machines, books, magazines, and coloring books. OK, you want MORE? how about this: MY laundromat has a WEBSITE. yup. and on this website they list the current art exhibit, the next art show opening reception, the latest raffle winner ($50 raffle drawing every month), and i have never, EVER, had a laundry experience that was more enjoyable. i can do my loads in less than an hour flat. that, my friends, is f-ing RADICAL. (sniff sniff sniff) ooooh - you smell that? Yup - it' me....so fresh and so clean, clean. read more

when the washer in my building broke, i had to find a nearby laundromat. though there were not recent reviews for this place, i chose to bring my stuff here. (as both a commitment phobe and stickler for how my clothes are washed/dried, this was a giant step for me.) i dropped my clothes off on a thursday morning and asked if they could have them ready by evening since i was going out of town the next day. the lady said she would. i was NOT charged extra, which was a nice surprise. as i noted above, i am particular about the way my clothes are washed/dried. i separated my stuff into three bags with specific instructions. i showed the instructions to the lady before i left. when i came back later that evening, my clothes were ready. they even hung up all of my requested "do not dry" stuff. (i was fully expecting the clothes to be in a wet, wrinkled heap in my laundry basket.) because we were due for a downpour, the guy who gave me my stuff put a large plastic bag around my laundry basket and taped it. i wasn't expecting such a nice gesture. i honestly don't know how much they charge per pound. i felt like i paid a reasonable cost for my stuff to be washed, the dried stuff to be folded, and the non-dried stuff to be hung. i tipped a few dollars for the good service. if my washer breaks again, i'll definitely bring my stuff back here. nota bene: you don't have to bring your own detergent or dryer sheets. they supply these at no cost (ie., built-in cost for the price per pound.) read more

Update: So yes, I had a terrible experience the first time and wrote a poor review for this place. But I am absolutely changing my review and opinion about this business. Once the owner Lisa heard about my poor experience, she made ALL efforts to right the wrong. She even came to my place to pick up the comforter. Took it to clean it, and brought it back cleaned. Additionally, she refunded me the $17 I had originally paid (despite me saying she didn't have to do that, I just want a clean comforter). I have been in Philly for 6 years now, and most places don't really give or care about good customer service. But Lisa made it 100% clear that she is committed to keeping her customers happy. I am assuming that my poor experience was probably due to some worker there being in a bad mood. I'd return to the place, and if I run into any issues, I'd just reach back out to them. They seem to be open to feedback and genuinely want u to be happy with their services. I am very impressed and thankful for Lisa handling this in the utmost professional way. Previous review: I gave them my queen size comforter to wash. When I took the comforter home and opened it up - it hadn't even been washed - but I was charged $17. There was still dust and hair on it - it wasn't clean AT ALL. I called them to ask if this was a mistake and they had just forgotten to wash it - but he said No. They said I can bring it back and they will wash it again - butttttt I will have to pay $17 again ! ????? What ??? I think this was an act of fraud - they charged me, but didn't wash the comforter. I won't be returning, obviously! read more

I don't know what the previous reviewers are smoking, but this place is not cool. It's a cramped and overpriced laundromat. The only time I went (a Thursday night) I had to wait with my baskets of wet clothes. Only four dryers were working and they were being used by the attendant who was washing as part of their drop-off service. I and three other people waited. it was ridiculous. Oh, by the way, there were no "out-of-order"signs on the broken dryers. I was only alerted to the deficiency by way of another customer who had lost $1 feeding the broken machine. I would suggest you head over to a laundromat that has interests in being a decent laundromat (clean, accommodating, roomy, plenty of folding tables and baskets) and not a hip hang-out spot. (BTW, laundromats aren't cool, no matter how many key words they use on their website) I've enjoyed the Queen Village laundromat. It's not trying to be anything other than a laundromat. Plus you can grab a slice of pizza at the Queen Village Pizza across the street. read more

I use this laundromat since I moved in a block away. It's clean and the people are nice. They do wash and fold if you don't have time to do the laundry yourself. Small washers take about 25 minutes, and I usually put two small washer loads into one dryer. During the week, most of the small washers are $1.75, but not all of them - so take a look! read more

I love this laundromat! It has great deals for its services.Always my numero uno pick!

This laundromat is perfect for my needs. I take small loads and the dryers are the best. If you put them on hot, you get hot and my clothes usually dry in 30 min. . Yes, it's small; intimate, but there is a bathroom, restaurants nearby and the employees are friendly. Did I mention the free book exchange? Bonus: The attendant showed me how to fold my sheets and pillowcases into a neat bundle. read more

Our dropped-off laundry was washed & dried perfectly, ready on the dot 24 hours later! On top of that, the owner/manager at the counter was warm and sweet, and she gave sincere suggestions to us out-of-towners on where to eat, etc. :) read more

Love this laundromat! It's clean and the staff is very helpful in giving you tips on washing your clothes and keeping them in good shape!

Cute, clean, comfy. Great customer service... always stands out in my book. Clean bathroom. Open early and late. Very reasonable and speedy drop off service. Machines always work and are at the going rate. Smells great. Great clientelle. Locally owned and operated. Outdoor seating in the sun and delicious takeout in the area. You can shop for ANYTHING. During your cycles. Haha.one stop shop for real!!! Go here!!! I started my laundry and got called into work for a few hours, I asked the beautiful black lady who was working if she could please swap my laundry to the dryer for a fee. She refused money but insisted I understood what time she was done work and could not look after my clothes after that time. I showed up and they were folded in air tight bags so you know I slipped her a $20!!! Fucking amazing!!! read more

$1.50 load special was a lifesaver when I had garbage bags full of laundry to do. However, not as hip as I was led to expect from other reviews. It's a laundromat. read more

Very poor service. They told me on two different occasions my clothes would be done by the end of the day and then when I call, they told me they never said that and I could get it the next day. When I questioned this in one instance, I was engaged in an argument, I do not feel the need to argue about my laundry. They also are more expensive than the other area laundry mats. The job has been done adequately both times however. Seeing that I'm essentially being lied to and then called a liar, I will not be returning, which is a shame as they seem to do good work. Just remember that they do not do same-day service. read more
