I don’t write negative reviews often but this place was pretty bad. Maybe it was just bad timing but most of their machines were out of service. Two of the washing machines I used didn’t spin the clothes well at all so they were sopping wet. Another washer took about 1 hour to wash a small load (it read 28 minutes when I put it in. Yikes.
I actually took my clothes to the new place on Telegraph to dry them. Quite a fiasco.
Unless they fix their machines up and clean the place a bit, don’t go here! Sorry guys :(

Just came by at 6:20 PM on Sunday July 20^th, 2014 with a full cart of laundry. As soon as I went to enter the building, the owner Charles started yelling at me asking if I saw his sign on the front door which stated «LAST WASH at 6:30 PM.»
I mentioned I did not, knew it was until 6:30 PM which the sign said and they stated they were open till 9 PM. I then proceeded to leave where he came out from the front to outside yelling and stating I could come in like he was doing me a favor.
In this country money talks and I simply will not put a single dollar in this gentleman’s pocket.

Got our laundry done… But I think the atmosphere is a bit like the twilight zone. It’s a washer/dryer grave yard with only 60% I the machines in operation. You can see where all the water dumps out of the machines which makes me feel a bit weird about how legitimate this owner is on upkeep… The place is filthy.
Also… Multiple signs read «if you can read, don’t slam the door.» And by sign I mean scrap paper and pencil.
I think we’ll go back to our normal laundromat, but I got laundry done so I’ll give it 3 stars.

I had a huge load of laundry that I brought home from my ski condo. I think my laundry bag must have weighed 40+ pounds. I searched for places in Berkeley/Oakland to do this enormous load in one go and decided on Able Fabric Care since I was in the Rockridge hood.
As others have noted, it’s not fancy or super clean. My biggest beef was that there were only three rolling hampers in the entire place. The owner was in the corner watching TV but answered my questions and eventually helped me when the coin machine would not accept my $ 5 bill.
I chose the biggest washer, which adequately fit three sets of bed sheets and 6 towels. Cost was $ 7 and the drying was FREE (if you do your wash there)! I separated the load into three dryers and in 30 minutes, they were dry. The wash time was only 27 minutes. So I was in and out in an hour :)
I’d come back to Able Fabric again the next time I have a large amount of laundry to do.

This is a solid laundry place. It’s rarely crowded, and I could always get a machine — even if a few of them are broken at any given time. The owner clearly does maintenance to fix these, and I’ve seen him do extensive cleaning of the machines, with a lot of care. Yes, he does occasionally take out your clothes if you’re not there, but that never bothered me, since I imagine he needs to free up the machine. He also gives advice for using the machines, and he’ll happily give you change for a $ 20 personally (since the machine won’t take bills that big).

I thought doing my own laundry after swearing to never go back to that years ago in Brooklyn would be painful and tedious. But after another wash and fold place lost some items of my clothing, I decided I wanted to preserve my inventory and decided to bite the bullet again and do it myself. After reading the reviews on Unilocal,I figured this place was my best bet. I wasn’t wrong. While there are a lot of washers/dryers that are broken, I went after work and it was empty. Free drying is incredible and the clothes came out warm and had that fresh laundry smell you usually don’t get at laundromats. I’ll definitely be back (also, ask the manager for the Wi-Fi password,

I highly recommend NOT coming here. The attendant/owner (?) today began yelling at me in incredibly foul and sexist language when I disagreed about how to dry my laundry on a Saturday morning. He insisted that I put all the laundry into one dryer, despite the fact that not all laundry can be dried at the same temperature. He was incredibly aggressive and continued to yell in a manner that led me to think he was probably either intoxicated and/or mentally ill. He moved his chair right in front of me and began staring. He also put the keys in the door, intimating that he would lock me in. As I was alone in the laundromat, I was definitely freaked out. Would recommend avoiding this place at all cost. I might even consider calling the cops on this weird-o.

More machines were broken than functional, so the small handful of customers had to jockey for machines. It’s pricey even accounting for «free» drying. Unfortunately, their change machine doesn’t take twenties, they don’t break twenties, and all the neighboring shops are sick of laundry customers trying to make change. There are many decent places to do laundry around here and this isn’t one of them, good soul tunes notwithstanding.

1. Attendant may remove your clothes from dryer and place in a heap minutes after finishing if you aren’t there, even if the place is dead.
2. They sometimes lock up two hours before posted closing time. As you walk up to the door with your heavy laundry bags, they will stand way at the back of store and wave their arms and yell «come back tomorrow!»
No sir, I don’t think I will.

I walk my clothes here to do the laundry. I have no complaints. They are open from 8am to 8pm, I believe. There are machines that range from $ 2.75 (looks like a home washer) and up to $ 7. I usually use the $ 5 machines. The drying is free. 27 minute washes and as much drying as you need. Coin operated with a change machine that takes $ 1, $ 5, and $ 10 bills. They are fast and efficient, and there’s so many of them that even if 1 or 2 are out of order, there are others to choose from. This place isn’t that busy, so I’ve never had trouble going in at any time and finding available machines.
Charles (Buck) who owns the place is very friendly. He will chat with you about music or just give you life/relationship advice. He is a real local and has owned the place since 1984. He knows a lot of stuff and can tell you so many stories and give you perspective about all the neighborhood changes.

This is my local laundromat and I really love it. It looks a little run down, but (as the other reviewers said) the machines are good quality.
I especially want to note that the gentleman who is usually here is very friendly and helpful. I feel like he’s the laundromat wizard — he knows all the tricks. He has helped me pick out the right size machine and, on several occasions when I was running late, has put my clothing in the dryer, taking out obviously delicate knitted things. He’s a little bit quiet and may come off as gruff, but I’ve never felt threatened by him. Quite the opposite, I think he is charming and eager to help. I am sorry if other reviewers had a different experience, but I would not pass up this place because of that.

The washers are pricier, but the drying is free. While the place may look run down it’s actually one of the better ones in the neighborhood. The guys across the street at Wally’s World are super nice as well and worth stopping by while you’re waiting.
If that’s not good enough, there’s plenty of stuff to check out at Trader Joe’s or Cole Coffee while you wait.
