Bubbles & Beans Laundromat

It’s extremely annoying and inconvenient to walk somewhere with a bunch of laundry in the first place. It’s a cherry on top when the coin machine is broken without the broken light on and without a note.

Great experience so far was able to fit a lot in the small one and very clean and quick only 23 minutes for the small washer.

As convenient as this is to my apartment (around and the corner) the machines are constantly broken and out of order. Each time I contact the owner about a machine being broken he gets aggressive and tells me not to use their laundromat. Keep in mind I’ve giving them Bi monthly business for the past 5 years. Tonight one of the washing machines I used flooded the floor. I contacted the owner to let him know and again complete aggression. Just letting you know your floor is flooded dude. Get it together and fix your machines. Taking my business elsewhere due to the complete unreliability of this laundromat.

The change machine was not only broken, but the «out of service light» was not even on. Additionally, the coin return button did not work on the washing machine, prompting me to lose $ 2 in change. Very disappointing and will be difficult to trust again.

There are a lot of great things about this laundromat: large selection of large capacity washers, never too busy, friendly management/​owners, clean.
But as I sit here waiting for my laundry to wash, I felt inclined to write, and hopefully it will catch the eye of someone who can make a difference.
I’ve been coming here for about a year now and while I’ve never had any problems, it seems increasingly apparent that things are beginning to lag.
When I first started coming here, a couple of washers were broken. No big deal. But in the span of a year, none of the broken washers have ever been repaired. For what seems like a relatively simple cash cow business, you’d think they would want everything working during all operating hours.
On top of that, and my final straw tonight, is the coin machine is not functioning. The out of order light isn’t on, and there’s no sign, but it’s simply not working. I ended up walking the two blocks to the nearest laundromat to get change and noticed more machines (albeit mostly single load size) and slightly cheaper prices.
I’m sure I’ll still continue to come here because it’s 2 blocks closer and I’d challenge you to find anyone who goes out of their way at 9pm on a Sunday for a laundromat, so proximity is really all that counts.
I just hope somebody will get things in working order because when laundry costs $ 15 (2 people for 3 weeks worth), I can’t find that in my couch cushions.

I started coming to this laundromat a few months ago because I was fed up with the ancient machine at the one closer to where I live. I’m so glad I made the switch. As has already been mentioned, it’s extremely clean, the various machines are all new and reasonably priced. They don’t have «beans» yet, but I know they are planning to attach a coffee shop. Until then, it is next door to a café and close enough to other Mission businesses to grab a drink or snack while you wait. However, the best part of this place is the owners. 3 brothers and I think I have met all of them. Tonight, I was in there and one of them came in with his daughters to collect the quarters out of the machines and refill the change machine. Just as he started to empty the quarters out of my dryer, it stopped and I went over to feed it. He took 3 quarters out of the collection, dropped them into my machine and kept going about his business. WOW. Never have I ever. We had a nice chat and I told him how much I really appreciate how well they run the place. He was very grateful and gracious.
Go give them your biz. They’re awesome guys.

I’m so glad I found this place! It’s clean, quiet, and there is usually no wait for the machines. Bubbles has an assorted size of machines: XL ($ 7.75), big ($ 5), medium ($ 3.75) and small ($ 2.75). I assume the XL and big machines are generally used by those who either pile up their laundry until they run out of undies or by those with 3 kids who just can’t seem to go a day without getting some random stain on their outfit. I normally use the medium-​sized machines as it is big enough to fit 1 week’s worth of clothes, and the small machines for delicates.
They have a change machine and a machine that dispenses detergent, frantic softener, etc for about $ 1 each, which is pretty helpful for the days I forget one or the other. They also have organic detergent here too!
I also like the location: Fiore is next door, the owners make a mean latte for $ 3.25 and Jumpstart is up the block where you can grab one of their specialty sandwiches, while you wait for the laundry.
BTW, there is no wifi or restrooms, so come prepared!

Had a pretty good experience here. First time doing laundry in my new neighborhood. (Except not really new since I grew up in Noe Valley.)
The machines are super clean and they are fast. I didn’t think $ 3.75 for a triple load wash was very much. If it means the machines will be kept up and the floors will stay clean, I’m in.
Went around 2:30PM on a Sunday and had no trouble getting a machine, a cart, or a dryer. In fact, I was alone for about half of my stay.
I had to drop a star because there is hardly anyplace to sit. I guess I’m glad they have as many machines as they can cram in, but there are only two benches that each hold 2 people. Or, on a day like today, one crying, prone 4 year old and one man rocking back and forth and saying «six minutes, six minutes» over and over again. Some seats outside would be nice. I don’t know where they would put more seats, but it seems like there has to be a way.
All that said. .. This will probably be my main place to go until I get my home washing situation set up.

I like the bubbles, but I’m still waiting on the beans. Please, I need some entertainment.
This place is a mystery to me – what’s with the weird patio bench that obstructs the back door (where does it go?) or the room at the front with the opaque windows (what’s in there?)?
You can do laundry here on a weekday afternoon and find that you’re totally alone for nearly an hour. You can also have the misfortune of having your coin purse taken by a gypsy woman doing her laundry next to you, like a woman who was here during my last wash.
It’s so clean in here, which is a feat considering the dismal state most Mission laundromats are in. They also have a machine that I put a 100 lb. wash load into for all you binge washers.

Love this place. The washers are a little pricey but still not bad at all for the city. It’s never been too busy where I can’t find a machine (even on Sunday evenings!). The dryers are EXTREME (in a good way). Your clothes will shrink if you use high heat because they are so powerful. I now use low heat and put an extra quarter or two in if needed to ensure that my dresses don’t become t-​shirts.

Never crowded! Always clean! Brand new & fast machines! Loves!

This place is fantastic. The machines are all brand new and squeaky clean. The cost per load is a little bit more, but it’s absolutely worth the additional expense. They have loads of high-​capacity washers, so there’s no competition for them, which is nice. The only issue is parking — there’s not a lot of it, so if you have a lot of laundry, you might find yourself walking a ways with it.
