Bubble Laundromat

Update… they spilled bleach on an expensive piece and ruined it. They finally took responsibility for something and offered to replace it. You have to give them some credit. They do care it’s just very busy and the workers are underpaid and overloaded

For fucks sake man, is this place for real? After picking up my 5lb bag of laundry that they put back into the same dirty plastic bag I brought it over in, I walked home to realize none of my socks and underwear were in the bag. I went back and asked for my socks and underwear which were sitting loosely in the open tied up with a rubberband collecting lint. Walked home again, only to realize half of the underwear I brought over isn’t even there. Fuck this laundromat. Another block down on grand, there is a better one where they’re not absolutely retarded. I won’t mind walking the extra block next time. Fuck this fucking place. Fuck you. I don’t pay $ 8 for you to lose $ 50 worth of my underwear you lazy cheap ignorant fucks.

The women who do the folding here are quite nice. However, the owner is a surly, rude jerk who consistently yells at both them and customers. I have gotten screamed at by this man after his business lost three of my items… His mistake, yet I took the abuse?
Eventually, someone returned my items, as they clearly combined my clothes with someone else’s. I brought back the other person’s underwear and I guess all was okay. I’m going to try to find another spot that doesn’t combine loads and is a bit more customer-​friendly. I just can’t stomach supporting a business with this type of owner.

The ladies who work here are extremely lovable and do excellent drop off service here. It’s not the greatest spot if you want to do your own laundry.

I’ve been doing drop off with them for two years and I’ve never had a problem. They fold everything really well and everyone who works there is really pleasant.

unpleasent.
i brought in a pretty large bag, which had a heavy sweater jacket in it, was charged 21 $. i came back to my place to discover they hadn’t washed the sweater jacket, it was in a small plastic bag separately with a note that said «dry clean” — yet they still charged me the full amount…
i went back to get a refund and i can’t even comprehend this guys accusatory reaction. Why would you lecture me when you made the mistake? granted he refunded me, but i don’t deserve to be lectured for your mistakes and accused of lying about having just moved to this hood. eventually he threw up his arms in the air and gestured for me to leave.

DONE WITH THIS PLACE!
Like so many other reviews, my wife was just subjected to a barrage of DRUNKEN abuse from the older, Chinese owner. When I went up with the ticket to collect the laundry, it escalated very quickly into him calling us «c**k suckers» and «mother-f**king son of a b**ch» while pointing two fingers in my wife’s face! The stink of booze from him was apparent and all he was interested in was watching fish clips on YouTube.
Never been so appalled by the lack of common courtesy this man displayed, and for sure will never return to this launderette.
The two ladies who actually do all the work here are amazing and always gave us a great service but it’s not enough off me to ever give a brass cent to this business again.

These people are unbelievably rude. I forgot my ticket when picking up my laundry (even though they can search by name) and then was subject to a ten minute lecture on how I have no «etiquette». Not worth my time. The people at Graham Ave laundry are much kinder and more helpful. Will not be coming here again and I suggest you don’t either.

It’s the same thing mentioned by other people. I failed to have my ticket on me and the owner guy yelled at me. I’ve been going there for three years and this jerk YELLS at me for not having my ticket. Extremely unprofessional and rude. I now have to find another place to do laundry, because I refuse to deal with that man anymore.

While the ladies who work here during the day are really nice, the owner guy is really not.
I came in tonight to pick up my laundry without my ticket. He was the only one there. I explained that I didn’t have my ticket, and he said «Bad, you bad girl.» I’m not kidding, and it was all downhill from there.
After being told to fuck myself because I 1) told him he was being disrespectful (in a calm tone) and 2) tried to look for my bag of laundry, I eventually managed to give him the last four digits of my phone number, so that he could look up my ticket number, pay for my laundry (cash only), and leave.
This was my first visit back to Bubble in several years because my former roomie (of color) had had a similarly terrible experience with him, and ascribed it to racism and asked me not to visit. She moved out over a year ago, and I thought that it would be more convenient to try Bubble again, since it’s closer to my apartment than Laundry on Graham.
But you know, they never curse me out for failing to have a ticket, so I think they’ll have my business from now on.

The place really sucks. They lose your cloths and deny it, they dye whites to other colors because they don’t separate colors from whites. That fucking owner! you know who he is flat out told me to go fuck myself he didn’t believe my now tan shirt was white! I spend $ 90.00 a month in that rat hole of a place. The shirt in question is a RL shirt that i paid $ 100.00 for and the girls knew I was right. It was there fault to begin with.

DO NOT GO HERE.
I have been dropping off my laundry here every week, sometimes twice a week and haven’t be overly pleased with the results, but it’s close, they have generally been pleasant (the old asian man loves my pup) and competitively priced. Until today.
When i dropped my clothing off yesterday, I was shocked that the person working (older asian woman) picked up my dog and put her on the counter and literally let her walk all over the clean underwear that the other employee was folding. I grabbed her down immediately and was even more shocked that the women folded up the «clean» clothing (now with fresh dog walk over) and packed them up. WOW. You just let a dog walk over someone else’s clothing that you passed back to them as «clean.»
Today, I picked up my laundry – Upon return to my home, i unpacked it and found that I was missing a number of items. So, I walked back up there to tell them what i was missing. I have been a loyal customer and they know who I am and assumed that they would graciously refund me my money. They refused to look for the missing items and refused to give me my money back. I’m not asking them to replace what they lost, just asking to have the cost of the laundry be refunded. The asian man then called some women who he put me on the phone with. She proceeded to tell me that I was lying about the missing items and that she wouldn’t give me my money back, because if she gave back money to everyone who claims they were missing laundry she would go out of business. I told her i wasn’t leaving until they refunded my money or found my items. Both of which they refused. The asian man then grabbed the phone out of my hand and slammed it shut and told me to get the fuck out. Needless to say, I will NEVER be going back to this scam factory again.
ONLY go here if you are committed to getting robbed of your clothing and your money!

I have been going to this laundromat for a few years to do drop off service. Today I picked up my laundry and when I came home I found that it hadn’t been cleaned. When I brought the laundry back they refused to believe that there was any error on their part and did not reimburse me either. They seemed to think I was trying to get a free load of laundry done. I would not recommend this laundromat to anyone for drop off service.

bubble laundromat is a fine place to get fluff & fold. besides a missing sock every now and again, i really have no big complaints.
you have to have a minimum of 8 lbs of laundry (if you don’t, they’ll charge you $ 8 anyway) and it’s $ 1 a pound, which is pretty competitive in the neighborhood.
the clothes always come back really clean, and i like the smell of the detergent they use. they also fold everything up really tightly so it’s easy to put everything away.
the customer service could be better, but it’s not a deterrent. they always get it done on time

AWFUL RUDE MALE EMPLOYEE!
Well it seems like everyone has had a great experience at Bubble except for me. I’ve been to Bubble 3 times – the first time, the male employee who works there yelled at me and excused me of only drying my clothes when I CLEARLY was taking my clothing out of the washer and putting it into the dryer and he didn’t see this exchange. I thought «perhaps he’s just a grumpy old man» and didn’t pay him any mind when I decided to return a 2^nd time some weeks later – I had no issues, probably because he wasn’t working there that day. The 3^rd time – most recently – was absolutely appalling. The minute I walked in, he was incredible rude to me when I asked him to open the jammed washing machine door as if it was an inconvenience to serve a customer. Then, the machine I put my quarters in was broken – didn’t have a sign on it – and he accused me of 1) breaking the machine 2) not putting enough money in it and 3) proceeded to curse and yell at me using the F word multiple times.
He demanded I give him money and I refused – because I already put the correct amount in the machine – we counted as he pulled the change compartment out. So after a few rounds of him cursing and yelling at me, I promptly told him I’d call the police if he didn’t refund me the money and (scared, I suppose) he turned on the machine. Afraid he’d vandalize my clothing, I had to sit with my clothes as they washed and dryed for 45min-​60min and noticed as people walked in and out, the man was friendly to everyone but me. I hate to make it a «race» issue, but I couldn’t help but think that most of the patrons he was friendly to were white and he gladly helped each and everyone one of them. I later walked out and as I left, the 2 other female employees quietly (and timidly) apologized for his behavior, which I appreciated but I feel bad that they even have to work with such an awful man. My roommates are all boycotting this establishment, and I hope you do, too! I also hope that if you return, you aren’t subjected to his disrespect.
Good luck.

I’ve been going here for almost two years now.
When I first moved to the neighborhood, I originally went to «The Laundry on Graham» laundromat since they’re closer to me, but they were so rude to me that I’ve made a point to walk 3 more blocks to nice Bubble Laudromat instead and I have been doing so ever since.
Bubble is awesome and gets the job done. Would be 5 stars if maybe they would replace some of their machines. Some are getting a bit old and have problems, but if you know which ones are a bit busted up, you can just avoid them.

* Block from my house
* Friendly
* Drop of very fairly priced
* Same day service
* High quality detergent used so I don’t have to bring my own
* Most importantly they don’t judge me when I drop off 35 pounds of laundry

I really like this place. I tried it out because the place that is closer to me is closed on Wednesdays, and I always seem to need to do my laundry on a Wednesday. Prices are similar to others in the area and they even opened the door for me when they saw me struggling. Yay!

I’ve been a Bubble customer ever since I made the switch from briefs to boxers. It’s been that long. I can only vouch for the drop-​off service. No complaints. $ 1.00/lb. The owners are very accommodating and my laundry has always been ready when I stop by to pick it up. Don’t forget to grab a Dum Dum lollipop next time you’re in there. Live dangerously, try the Mystery «?» flavor.

Ok so when I moved to this part of the neighborhood I started going to a different laundromat. They did a pretty crappy job and so I switched to the Bubble and never looked back. I usually drop my drity clothes off here and they are done the next day. I don’t lose socks or anything and the prices are comparable to the other neighborhood laundromats. Recently they did raise prices but it is still in line with the area.
I also have to add that the people here are usually very nice and always remember my name.
bonus points!
thanks Bubble for doing a good job for this lazy SOB.
