Barclays Laundromat

The only laundromat in the area. I do my own laundry and the machines don’t get my clothes very clean. The machines don’t use a lot of water so some of my clothes come out of the wash practically dry.
The most concerning part is that there are lots of small roaches crawling on the machines. I was assured repeatedly they are not bed bugs and I don’t think they are. But still gross!

I used their drop off service a few times. They use Tide and Downy (aka brand name detergents and softeners). If you drop it in the morning they ll have it ready same day.
Dry clean service is cheap but takes about 5 days because they don’t do it on the premises. As a bonus I am attaching a text message alert that I received when my drop off was ready:)

A bit disappointed that Finlay beat me to this review but definitely will chime in and say this is good news for the neighborhood. After moving into the Broadway Triangle about 5 years back there originally was a laundromat connected to the food bazaar. It was glorious! They had dry cleaning, tons of machines and they were right next to the grocery store where you could go and do your groceries while waiting on your laundry. Unfortunately, due to the cost of rent and all sorts of other nonsense that business owners had to deal with they closed down and there was not a laundromat within decent walking vicinity
After the Jesus Cristo Iglesias shut it’s doors about 2 years ago, a laundromat soon began construction. After frequently checking in with the construction workers and tons of waiting, they finally opened in late 2011/​early 2012.
Broadway Laundromat is run by the same people that run Bonilla Brothers Laundromat (formerly Aphrodite laundromat) on Grand st. and Manhattan Ave. The two employees typically there are Ecuadorian aunt/​niece duo, one works during the week and the other on the weekends. Sweet as buttons, always courteous, and polite. They do a good job making sure the place is virtually spotless through mopping and sweeping (so if you accidentally drop your clothes upon removal from the machine you don’t soil them again). Telemundo plays on the TV and you can get your dose of Hispanic soap operas or Sabado Gigante.
Drop off service is around 80 cents/​lb. and they do off site dry cleaning. $ 2/​shirt for wash and press, all other services are reasonably priced for NYC. FYI though, no same day service even with drop off laundry. Best you can hope for is afternoon of the next day if you do drop off laundry early enough in the morning. They have different sized machines for different sized loads from small to extra-​large. I think the mid-​size machine is $ 2.75 plus .25 cents for extra cycle. Drying is .25 cents for 8 minutes. They take only quarters and have a change machine to convert your bills or one of the ladies can make change for you.
People that are there are a reflection of the neighborhood minus the Orthodox Jews and the Chinese-​from-​the-​towers who I assume have their own thing going on. Weekends are typically busy laundry days and the place does get full up. Don’t leave your clothes in the machine unattended as, when they do get busy, one of the employees will remove your clothes from the machine if left there too long and move it to one of the carts. Personally, I don’t like the idea of someone else touching my clothes unless I am paying them to do it.
All in all, good clean laundromat, friendly service and reasonably priced.

I’m so happy that this place is finally, finally open! They had a «Coming Soon» sign out front for the longest time and I was beginning to think it would never happen.
It’s a pretty standard laundromat: washers, dryers, Coke machine, change machine that doesn’t appear to work quite right. It’s clean and quiet (as opposed to shabby and hectic — I think we’ve all been there). The woman who was working both times I went in is really nice and helpful. I’m definitely going to be here all the time!
