Tower Cleaners - One of the many dry soap stains they left on a blanket I brought in. - Dry Cleaning Near Me - El Cerrito, California

Nice, family run business that does an excellent job. Have had both cleaning and tailoring with good results.

I've been coming here since "Happy Cleaners" just down the block closed a couple of years ago (I really miss Janice). I have only used Tower's wash & fold service. It's never busy when I come to drop off or pick up, and the owner is always very nice (he gives out lint rollers at Christmas time!) My clothes come back clean; but when putting the load away, I find they are folded with alot of wrinkles. I have to unfold them, smooth the fabric to try to erase the wrinkles, then refold. Maybe I'm too OCD; I haven't been to enough different laundries to know what is usual in folding. I also notice that occasionally a garment (usually a cotton top) will have a few tiny holes (from catching in the machines they are using?) Their prices are pretty much consistent with other wash & fold services locally (as of June 2024). I appreciate that they share parking with Fat Apple; just don't try to visit during busy lunch time (11am-1:30pm) because odds are the lot will be full. read more

Tonight is the last time I race home from work to get my dry cleaning, only to find that the place has closed early. Earlier this week was the last time I left early from home to get to this place before work, only to find they are not open at the time posted. Buh-bye, good luck with your "business". read more

Awesome place with awesome staff. It was only a pleasure to turn to in search of help. Thank you so much for dealing with my problem!

It pains me to give a local business anything less than a good review, but this is the second time I've been here in 14 hours to pick up a jacket and they are not open. I arrived at 640 last night (hours online said open until 7) and they were closed. I arrived at 8am this morning and now I'm standing outside in the rain at 810am. They've changed their hours and don't pick up the phone. This is why I have trouble feeling really compassionate when giant juggernauts like Amazon start getting into markets like dry cleaning and home services. read more

Tower Cleaners - Dry Cleaning Near Me - El Cerrito, California

Here at Casa Canine we are strictly a wash and wear operation. Comes from having three dogs who feel that "their house" needs to provide them with all of the necessary creature comforts. Like sofas, beds, rugs, bathmats. So...we wash a lot, dry clean very little. But: Smack dab next to Fat Apple's and sharing the same parking lot is a great little dry cleaning establishment. Been there, if not "forever" than pretty much as long as Fat Apple's has occupied its present building. I've walked by it a thousand times, but since we do almost no dry cleaning, the place was just a blip on my screen. Until: A zipper on my red hoody sweatshirt broke. Couldn't fix it. Took it into Tower Cleaners on the off chance that they could find a way to make the zipper work again. They did. Cost? Three dollars. Then: Pants arrived that were much too long. Stuck them in the closet. Then remembered Tower Cleaners. Took the pants in to be hemmed. They did. Cost? Seven dollars. Once again: Three pairs of velvet party slacks .(Oh, that red wine. ) One "St. Francis Kennel Club" jacket. (Oh, those cute little fuzzy Powderpuffs who didn't win a blue ribbon though we tried, we tried. ) One down-feathered comforter, stored away for a decade in the playhouse. (Needed cleaning just to make sure no bitty denizens had taken up residency in it.) Tower Cleaners. Did it all promptly, cheaply, and without costing an arm-and-a-leg. Guess we aren't just wash and wear at Casa Canine. Guess we really do need a nearby dry cleaning establishment. We do. One we can walk to easily. Tower Cleaners. We trust you to keep us...comfy and clean. Thanks. read more

Awesome. Just awesome. 1) Sang waits for me if I'm running off BART and calling in advance. (Q: what's worse then working late?...A: working late and knowing that you WON'T have clean clothes tomorrow...ARGH!!!) 2) He gives me great customer service AND clean clothes AND solid mending. In my opinion, a man who does THAT doesn't deserve less then virgin sacrifices and free BBQ for all eternity (however...knowing him, I think he's a bit too much of a family man to accept such a lucrative payment-- so I'll just keep it up with the checks :p). 3) He's kind and friendly, and his little one's are major people-flirts. They will definitely make you smile if you catch a glimpse of them. read more

Go here! One can't ask for better customer service and quality work/cleaning. They listen and are prompt/timely. It's a family affair (they are sometimes closed to pick up the kids from school). Come on...what more can you ask for? read more

Great cleaning, good prices, and fast service. This is that random dry cleaning spot you pass by everyday and wonder why is there one there. But this cleaners is super reliable. Had a jacket for around $10 and a few shirts dry'd for less. Clean and wrinkle'd free that made the touch of clothes feel like melted butter (in my pants), they are about quality. You won't go wrong here. read more

Super nice staff here. I had a rather unique alteration, which they couldn't do, but they found a place that could do it and sent me over. Thanks! read more

Tower cleaners is at the top end of Fairmount Avenue, in basically what is the outer corner of the Fatapple's parking lot. My wife has been going here for years. But what prompted me to write this review now was tonight's experience of outstanding service. My wife has to leave early tomorrow morning for a business trip, and had requested a late pickup of a jacket she needed cleaned. They normally close at 7pm, but she had arranged to pick up the jacket before 8:30pm. She forgot. I was home when they called at 8:32pm, with nothing but concern that she would not have her jacket for her trip. I quickly picked up the ball and rushed down there (yes, who needs Valentine's Day?). When I got there, the man behind the counter was very nice and not at all ruffled about having to stay there late, especially when it was clearly our fault. He happily handed me the jacket and wished me a good night. For that, 1000 stars! Price is affordable and quality of work is excellent. And it's an excuse to grab a coffee and pastry from Fatapple's 'while you're there'. read more

I needed some alterations done; hemming two pairs of pants, a new zipper in a pair of jeans, and a blouse needed seams repaired. The price was OK, but this place fell short on delivery. When I picked the items up, the blouse wasn't ready and one of the pairs of pants was still too long. When I returned on the next pick-up day, the blouse still wasn't done. When i came back a THIRD time, the blouse was ready but the repair was done in less than a stellar manner --several loose fibers and rough stitching. At no time during these missteps did the staff offer to do anything to make up for them. Not a terrible but not a great experience. read more

They're prompt, courteous, and listens well to what you want them to do and they often double check to make sure your instructions are correct and they can deliver the product as you want it. I've had several things alternated and done well. I can rely on them and feel comfortable in their abilities to do things well. I'd highly recommend them. read more

The new staff are nice. But the owner has left the area, and the new people don't do any alterations any more on site, which the owner used to do. I wish he'd come back! read more

They hemmed my prom dress last year-- they made sure it fit exactly how i wanted it, and it looked stunning!

I would give Sang more stars if I could! I recently moved away from El Cerrito and I still drive across town to keep going to Tower. Sang is so friendly, gives incredible, prompt service, and the quality of the work is always top notch. As I walk in, he knows me by sight, brings up my account, checks my things in/out super fast and has me on my way - he's awesome. The prices are super reasonable, and the tailoring is great too. If you are looking for a great, reliable cleaners - look no further. read more
