Quick Coin

Quick indeed! I called them to pick up my laundry around 7pm tonite, and they just brought it back — 2 ½ hours later. Same day service, during hours most places are closed or have stopped delivering. And they do a great job — my clothes actually smell clean! You’d think that’s not too much to ask for a laundry place, but I have learned from their competitors that it is. These guys are open until 11pm. They’re a little pricier than other places in the hood, but the service is worth it!

Being fairly new to the area I’ve searched and searched for a laundromat that is decently priced, clean and that has a friendly staff.
Although, I’ve had a few minor issues, this is my «go to» laundromat. Since becoming a regular here I found that most of the workers have warmed up to me and usually greet me upon arrival. The dry cleaning service is also pretty good with a one day turn around time.
I’ve been to a few other laundromats in the immediate area and even though they were a bit more spacious, the customer service was a complete horror.

Possibly the rudest and most horrible customer service I’ve ever experienced in NYC. I spend $ 200 a month here and I am treated like crap. I’ve been told that I’m «problem customer, too many problems». I’ve had issues with them breaking ever single one of my shirt sleeve buttons, using bleach on white towels, loosing my clothes for a week, sending me back cloths that don’t belong to me. When I complain or ask for something to be fixed I’m charged by them for the effort! If only there was a deliver /​pickup alternative in the area.

These folks are A-​OK for providing a tolerable laundry experience.
The place is well-​lit, well-​spaced, and well-​kempt, thus scoring well on the three metrics by which I find laundromats around this city are most likely to turn me off. The prices ($ 3.00 for a small washer, $ 4.50 for a larger) are pretty standard for East Village. I reckon that two small washers should be enough for most people’s needs. Dryers are $ 0.25 for 7 minutes; the same amount will buy you 4 minutes in one of the extra large dryers. Bonus points for the large AC machine in the back during summer. Dry-​cleaning services are available as well — $ 3 – 4 per regular sized items (dress shirts, dress pants) and $ 11 – 12 for a large windbreaker/​jacket.
The owners are pretty friendly but some of the staff members could really use some customer service training. All in all, tolerable, as mentioned.

I feel compelled to write about my experience given the mixed reviews here.
I have just moved to New York with only a single suitcase in tow (point being, my clothes are very precious right now). I started subletting in a building without laundry for the first time in my life and was completely lost as to where to do my laundry. I did my usual Unilocal search and every place had at least a few reviews that terrified me– bleach stains, lost clothes, etc. I turned to my roommate for suggestions and she told me to come here.
I walked in around 6 on a weeknight with my plastic bag containing nearly 70% of the clothes I had with me in the entire state of New York. The people at the counter were so nice– I told them it was my first time and I had no idea what I was doing. I asked for a service wash with regular pick-​up. They weighed my clothes and charged according to the chart posted right by the scale.
Around 24 hours later (which, by the way, appears to be the normal turn around time– pick up after 7pm the next day) I returned to another extremely nice woman at the counter who produced my very clean and very good-​smelling clothes, not a sock lost or a bleach stain in sight! I will definitely be going back to this spot– they cleaned my clothes as well as I could for about the same cost.

So i came here to drop off my laundry and it was 15lbs and so cost $ 15. The service was good since i dropped it off at 7pm and was able to pick it up around lunch time the next day. The drop off service included downy fabric softener and i am now truly a fan. All of my clothes were folded up super neatly and i am super impressed, The texture of my socks have also changed and i can say that it is all thanks to those who cleaned my clothes. However i do have to say that i was a bit disappointed when i received my clothes in a see-​through plastic bag but when i dropped it off it was in a laundry bag. On the walk home i was so worried about the bag ripping and everything falling out.

Unfortunately Quick Coin destroyed a bunch of our clothes during the course of a service wash. They ended up with bleach stains all over them including in the pattern of the washing machine drum on some items.
They said the clothes must have had been given to them damaged however we were washing some brand new underpants and socks before wearing them and they had bleach stains all across them too.
Their story changed every time we spoke to them: it went from we didn’t use bleach on your wash to we don’t use bleach on service washes to we don’t use bleach full stop. They were rude and couldn’t have cared less about the problem they created.
Lousy.

Being new to NYC, the thought of laundromat is a truly terrifying. I’m used to having my own and, may I add, immaculately clean washer/​dryer. It’s also very important to me that I take good care of my clothes. Essentially, the usual laundromat – crowded, dark, dingy, questionably clean – is hell on earth for this clothes-​conscious West Coast transplant.
Until I found Quick Coin.
Quick Coin is well lit, bright, with plenty of space to walk between washers and well-​distributed folding tables. It has the newest, cleanest washers I’ve seen in NYC to date (no mold in the cracks!) and they have 5 settings (cold, warm, hot, delicates, quick wash) to let you customize for maximum results. The dryers are similarly clean and also come in two sizes. There’s a sink for pre-​treating clothing and the staff is helpful.
Yes, it may be a tad more expensive than other laundromats (small washer is $ 3.00; $ 0.25 per 7 minutes in the dryer), but it’s worth every penny and then some.
I haven’t tried the drop off service or dry cleaning yet, but from watching the employees run laundry, they treat the clothes with care and seemed to be using appropriate settings for the type and volume of clothing in question. I also saw some things air-​drying which is phenomenal. Based on what I saw, I’d be willing to give it a try next time.
I would 100% recommend the self-​service laundry at Quick Coin!

Well lit, spacious and clean. I rolled in on a Sunday afternoon and immediately got a machine. Plenty of tables to fold/​treat clothes. Only downside is there’s no spaces to sit and wait for your stuff. Prices went up a bit apparently. As of 7÷13÷14 it was $ 3 for a small washer, and $ 4.50 for med. $ 0.25 for 10mins on the dryer.

I get my wash and fold done here. My only complaint is that they’ve lost a couple of my socks, so make sure you pin them together or keep them all in a mesh bag.

I’ve been using them for years and just stopped. The place is spotless, and the folks working there are diligent and efficient. The younger guys who run the place are nasty and often unfriendly and one practically hung on me when I tried to tell him what I needed for a particular order. There’s Fresh laundry on 2^nd Street. I use them now. Too much competition in NYC for nasty behavior.

Poor service and no duty of care.
We expected great service based on the Unilocal reviews. We put in a laundry service as well as some shirts to be laundered and pressed.
Our laundry was returned with bleach stains through the entire wash. A number of t-​shirts were completely ruined and are now unwearable.
Management refused to even consider compensation, telling us that they lose items and ruin items all the time.
We had to take the case to consumer affairs.

Are these reviews serious?! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. They advertise 75 cents a pound, except for the fact that the first 7 pounds is 9 dollars, which is really $ 1.28 a pound, and guess what? They don’t tell you this ahead of time. IT’S A RIP OFF

My favorite laundromat in the city. Upon moving to the LES/​East Village, I have had difficulty finding a fair-​priced laundromat until I stumbled upon Quick Coin. I have had 0 issue with this laundromat as all the machines are clean and it’s fairly spacious and well-​kept. I have not used their laundry service, only the self-​service and the machines work well and the dryers work fairly quickly. (I typically only need to spend a dollar on the dryer per load)
The machines are ~2.50 for a small~ 4.00 for a medium and I’m not sure how expensive the largest machine is.

Simply put, I love this place. Having previously lived in buildings with lots of amenities, I’ve never had to use landromats prior to moving to Alphabet City. That being said, if you know the neighborhood, you know that there’s a lot to love about it, but there can be a lot of sketchiness and attitude too, and it can be hard to find good service in a comfortable setting.
I never thought I’d write a review for a laundromat, but Quick Coin rocks. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and they do a great job with my laundry when I drop it off. On the rare occasion I’ve needed to stay and do my own laundry, I’ve been so pleased at the cleanliness and brightness of the facility, the availability of a restroom, TV, and variety of products for sale, and the peaceful riff-​raff free environment that is so rare in the neighborhood.
I will never go anyplace else!

Considering the fact that they seemed to have misplaced one of my favorite sweaters today, I will let it slide. Sometimes I feel like the whole mixing up of the laundry thing just to keep themselves amused which also may be why they are so friendly…
They are super nice to deal with and I always give them extra tip money when they deliver my laundry. I know working in the laundry business is probably not the most joyous job, but they seem to be happy about what they do. They also ask what kind of detergent you prefer which never really seems to happen with my experience at other places.
Quick Coin has my heart indefinitely. And I hope that they will have yours too.

Who knew that dropping off my dirty underwear could bring me such joy?
This is the type of place that lends Alphabet City its neighborhood charm. The staff is so genial that is makes me happy to give them my business. All that love aside, they do good work at great prices (75 cents/​lb drop) and keep the most convenient hours and cleanest facilities in the EV.
Bonus: The gratis detergent/​softener actually smells good.

Quick Coin delivers when it comes to local laundromats. Here’s why:
–Clean, bright facilities. I can actually see what I’m doing in here! No funny smells, spic n’ span floors add to the overall comfort.
–Small, medium and jumbo load machines means you can tackle any mountain of laundry here. They are nice wascomats in working order.
–Standard pricing for the area: $ 2.75 for small, $ 3.75 for medium, and $ 5.00 for jumbo wash. $.25/​6 minutes on the dryers. I get through a fifteen pound load for $ 3.75 tops once everything is said and done.
–Spacious granite tables for sorting, treating and folding. Wheeled metal baskets to cart your clothes, towels etc. around.
–Convenient hours 7-​midnight.
–Change machine and dispenser for soap/​anti-​static sheets. You can also buy bottles of liquid detergent and softener at the front desk.
–On-​duty attendants who assist in the very off-​chance that your washer or dryer jams on you. They will also exchange your crumpled bills for crisp ones in case the finicky change machine rejects them. And they will exhort you in quasi-​yoda like tone to: «use extra soap» for the best wash.
–Entertainment options are admittedly dim. A small narrow bench at the front of the room is not very comfortable. There’s rarely any magazines/​papers lying around so I usually bring a novel or textbooks to burn up the time. There’s a TV in one corner that’s often tuned to AMC so I’ve been treated to the spectacle that is Eraser one too many times. ‘Why Ahnuld why?‘
Finally, location is primo. If you don’t feel like hanging around, you can always dash off to Veniero’s around the corner, Xi’an Foods and This little piggy are a couple blocks over or any of the Momofuku’s for some food.

All I have to say is YAY QUICK COIN.
I called a bunch of places and no one would pick up and deliver (apparently I am too far away, and I do not have a doorman… ok great).
So QC happens to be very close to my apt and honestly I would rather do my own laundry but hauling it is kind of a pain.
Either way, really clean place (and I am a clean freak) a little pricey for machines if you ask me, but you can choose your size machine which is cool).
What you should know:
— The machines only take quarters. There is a machine to convert your bills to quarters. There is also an ATM
— 2.75 for small load, 3.75 for medium load, 5.00 for large load.
— Dryers are 25 cents per 6 minutes.
— They have a TV if you don’t bring anything to do, and it is safe enough that you can leave your stuff and come back if you need.
I didn’t get any dry cleaning done, but I think you can also drop off your laundry at this place and they will do it for you.

Quick Coin’s the bomb. I was living in the Bronx for five years, and the place I went to there was more expensive for both laundry and dry cleaning, and more of a hassle. The place is always really clean, and somehow never packed even on weekends.
One time there was a pen in my whites when they went into the wash (don’t ask me how) and they gave me bleach and let me do the load over for free. Nice peeps.
There are two guys who are always here, and they’re of really dubious national origin. That obviously has no bearing on the rating, but go in and see if you can figure it out. Could be Taiwan. Really not sure.
