Clean with the fluff and fold service option. Parking can be a lil challenging at times... Having a pizza parlor and corner store across the street is a plus. They also have options for payment -machines that take cards or cash and an ATM on site for your convenience! Plus theres an Amazon pick up site.
Lotti is amazing. The place is clean, not too crowded, reasonably priced, and its right next to a coffee shop. I will be back
Our washer broke and the laundry was piling up so we headed down to Lake Merritt Laundromat. What a great laundromat! From the other customers to Miss Lottie, just wow. I never knew a doing my wash in a laundromat could make me happy, but it did. Will definitely keep this great gem in mind in the future : )
First time stepping into the place. Love it! Great area.
Truthfully my first time at a laundromat as my building has a laundry room, but I was getting tired of the small machines that never seem to properly wash anything. Took a huge pile of laundry including three big blankets and was in and out in under two hours. Everything looked and felt sanitary and well-kept. Being able to use ApplePay was so nice after years of hoarding quarters. The woman working there was so friendly and helpful and even threw in forty minutes of free dryer time for me to “get you started”.
Miss Lottie makes the whole experience welcoming. Too bad SHE doesnt own the place. They better treat her fairly too, business wise,, cause otherwise Im Boycotting 😏
Miss lottie is such a cool person who manages this place.Always respectful always is very nice to my kids.This place is cool can use credit cards or coins for laundry.
Loved this place for wash and fold until Ms. Lottie went sour. She was very sweet in the beginning until a matching set of my partners clothes went missing and we spoke to the owner about it, then she became a nasty petty lady who later ended up washing our colors and whites together and ruining our white clothes. Very sad to know that she’s not as nice as she perceives..
Facility is very CLEAN. Plenty.of options for paying for the use of the machines, drinks and laundry soap. Etc.,😁
***Remember to push the green button on the dryers card reader machine, until you reach the amount of drying time you need before swiping your card****Every time you wash I think you get like your 10th wash free or something like that, you should research, and this is counted when you pay digitally with a phone app, or with credit card.**The two biggest and best washing machines are straight ahead when you enter the door to the laundromat. This is what we use because we do laundry once a week.The owners are really nice an answer the phone if there is an issue with a machine. This has to be the best laundromat theres an Amazon Locker, you can pay for your laundry with your card, You can get cash, and you can buy hot Cheetos.
Great place to do laundry. owner is very friendly they have wash and fold, Amazon locker, ATM always clean. takes credit cards Apple Pay.Machines of all sizes all prices express dryers get you out of there even quicker.Highly recommend
In a prime location, and it offers great washes for $4 (quarters or credit card), in addition to drying for $0.25 per 4 minutes (same options as washes). Also offers cheap detergent and dryer sheets on site, as well as separate drink and snack vending machines, plenty of folding room tables and three benches outside. This is my new Saturday morning stop before my weekend commences. Cheers!
Very Nice Environment, Manager always keep it clean and it’s centrally located next to lots of eateries, The Lake but very hard to find parking. The Manager is friendly and nice but a little fussy sometimes. I still enjoy the peaceful here other than that.
I love the lady who works there she is very nice and friendly
A cool clean laundromat.the machines are high tech..you can get an app to check the status of each washer and add money from anywhere.still have to switch out the clothes and fold them yourself..the lady there was friendly(after she realized i was doing laundry and not just shopping for a new out fit..it was a fine laundering experience.And a pizza place 100 ft. away..
I’m working as a consultant here in Oakland and needed a place for drop off service. This is a family business, and what a wonderful bunch of folks they are!Friendly and efficient. They get my laundry right back to me.They’ve got my business for sure!
Beautiful laundromat. The owners have done a really nice job and keep it sparkling clean. I love picking up my Amazon packages at the same time. When I don’t feel like doing my own laundry, I hire the wash and fold service. I like that they have the credit card option and an ATM. If you use your credit card, the 10th wash is free!!! Really convenient amenities.
Great facility and an amazing worker who makes doing laundry a joy. All covid best practices are followed here (mask required, doors open, fans going, sanitary conditions, etc.)! Will go again.
This place is stunning. Alway clean and great machines. Unreal that they all take credit cards on all their machines. My new go to place. Plus they have a nice coffee shop next door. Oh and the also have a wash and fold if you need one.
Had discussed with Lottie for her to launder and dry my down comforter with Mrs. Meyer lavender scented laundry soap and dryer sheet. She wanted me to use oxyclean and other brands but I declined.My laundered comforter smelled strongly of detergent, no lavender smell. Lottie couldnt smell it, removed her mask and kept burying her face and nose into the comforter to try to pick up the scent. I was repelled. She also does not observe social distancing. I asked her to re-wash it, just with water. The comforter still has a strong detergent smell, not as bad as after the first wash. At this point, I dont know if she used other detergent or used too much of Mrs. Meyers and the 2 rinses failed to rinse out the soap, but I found the experience upsetting.
Safe, masked, well ventilated, fast washers and dryers with lots of non coin payment options.
Always clean inside and the people there are nice! Wash and fold comes in handy, and the lady is super sweet to work with. The machines work really well (they take credit card and quarters, which is super convenient) and while I’m waiting for my stuff to wash and dry I can go to the coffee shop or grab a bite to eat a couple blocks down and get some work done. They also stayed open for COVID which is amazing, because the other laundromats around here closed!
I came here because of the high number of positive reviews. I wasnt disappointed. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The machines were quality and quick. The place has nice decor and has a clean feeling and look to it. Definitely recommend for your laundry needs.
Miss Lottie is sweet and does an awesome job!! Picked up my perfectly cleaned clothes about 8 hours after I dropped them off, which was totally fine. $1 a pound. Great deal. No water or soap or grease stains anywhere!
My go to spot. Love this laundromat. Clean. Safe.
There is something about a welcoming laundromat. When you walk in the place, it almost feels like you’re at home. It’s quiet and Miss Lottie is always so welcoming. The place is always so clean and the machines always work. They definitely have my business. Thanks!
Best laundromat I have ever been! State of the art equipment. Takes apple pay. Clean friendly atmosphere. If I could give 6 stars I would. Thank You so much.
Lake Merritt Laundromat: Perfect place in the neighborhood. Before my first visit today (Sept 21), I looked at the reviews and pictures - and I am happy to report that it was a great experience. Great experience because of the option of modern/updated, Quick wash machines and dryers. I find it to be a bargain.
Going to the laundromat to wash comforters was the last thing I wanted to do...but it turned out to be a great experience! Lake Merritt Laundromat is friendly, spacious, comfortable and squeaky clean!! The pride of ownership in this facility is exceptional! The manager, really goes the extra mile to be kind and helpful. He works hard in maintaining the high standards of Lake Merritt Laundromat. I give them an A+!! 😃
Laundry machines are perfectly clean and work well! I made the payment by credit card which is very convenient. All cars accept credit cards. Pleasant price pleases. Friendly staff always. I give 5 stars for the service!
Best laundromat Ive ever been to. Machines are like new. Very clean and warm atmosphere. They have a wall of missing socks! Incredible play AND DOG FRIENDLY!!! (even when they steal the tennis balls used for the dryer!) The other customers were friendly and helpful. The women working there are in a league all their own! Super friendly and kind! Ill never go anywhere else while Im in town!
The staff here is super friendly. The owner, Derek, and Miss Lottie are such nice and inviting people. Came here the other day and Derek gave me a free wash for no reason. Thank you so much!
Lotties is always a pleasant place, bright and friendly. Dropping off or doing your own there are both easy as can be!
I love me some Miss Lottie. Thats all I have to say.
Amazing laundromat with new machine. All the machines take credit cards and cash. I had no idea Laundromat’s could be this nice and clean. The owner and the wash and fold staff are also super nice and available if needed.
Great laundromat. Super clean. They take credit cards!
Nice clean spot with the bonus of coffee cafe next door. Parking a handle but with it. Up to date equipment.
Best public Laundromat Ever
Super nice laundromat, Miss Lottie is super sweet and kind
Modern new machines that work. Clean place, friendly people. Coffee place next door. Almost no parking. Definitely aimed at neighbors who can walk here. ATM inside, change machines and Amazon lockers. They all work. Ill come back, and its out of my way.
I love this place! It’s always clean and the staff here are always happy to see you.
So I rarely review anything on yelp, but I had to take the time and share my experience here (while I wait for my dry to finish). This laundromat is very close to my place, but I usually went farther out because of the broken machines. This month I noticed a New Ownership sign out front so decided to take a look. There is no comparison to how it was before. Aesthetically it is really comfortable. New paint, new wooden accent wall, a TV with Netflix! I mean I do not enjoy laundry day but this makes the time fly. On a more important note, all the machines are functioning. So instead of waiting and waiting I can get my clothes done pretty quick. New owners are often here, and they say new machines with card pay options are coming soon. Even gave me a few quarters for my dry. Its good to see that people care to make the community better. Everyone has laundry and this place is the spot to get it done.
Very lovely and helpful staff, new owner, new machines, clean and cozy interior. Lovely little space just for kids, with plenty of toys and books for all ages. Machines take card, which allows for easier payments and discounts. Difficult to find parking though.
This is a really great place to do laundry and study. I have been going here every weekend for the past 6 months and the place is always clean and the machines are always working. It’s also great because of the coffee shop next door so you can have a latte and read a good book while you wait. The staff is always very helpful and friendly as well.
Gosh, I CANNOT EVEN begin. It was the VERY first time Ive done my laundry here because ours broke and out of luck, I found this laundromat on Google. I needed to wash my sheets, blankets, etc. and pretty much needed to find one that closes late. Anyway, long story short, my son lost his 24k gold necklace which holds a huge sentimental value in it. He told me that he mightve gotten it caught in one of his blankets when he took it off. I pretty much lost sleep because of this and contacted the owner around 2am (left him a few messages at that 😭), told him what had happened and he reached back to me early a.m. that same morning and he reassured me that he was going to help me find it by looking through the drain. He even went through his cameras to see who was the first person in (one of his workers) and asked her if shed seen it, which she didnt. Anyway, moral of the story is that this laundromats owner is AMAZING! He truly goes beyond for his customers just to help them out - he didnt HAVE to do that BUT he did!Last but not least, his laundromat is SUPER clean, very quiet, and good people around. You truly do NOT see a speck of dirt in his bins! I will forever be a loyal customer!Thank you!(Found the necklace in the car BTW 😒)
Im sorry! I meant to type I don’t wash here(its a little far for me to carry clothes), but the Amazon lockers are great!!!The Laundromat looks very nice and clean and Id use it if it were closer.
Laundromat is always super clean. Great prices and great staff. Will never go anywhere else after a friend referred me to lake Merritt laundromat.
Staffs were nice and their location is convenient to everyone. Good machines and the price is cheap.
I was in Texas recently for an 8 day trip. Halfway through, I took my clothes in for the wash and fold. They were returned to me quickly (just a few hours) and were perfectly clean and perfectly folded. Staff was friendly and the price was less than I expected to pay only $1 a pound Super clean inside. I highly recommend Come and Wash It!
Thee most welcoming, family owned and operated laundromat I will always go back to. Washers and driers can use both coin and card. Amazon locker delivering service provided. Free wifi. Great owners. There is nothing more I could have ever asked for in a laundromat.
Washing machines are all good and accept credit cards. Good service friendly staff. The wash and fold service is amazing!
This place was busy but the attendants were extremely helpful and available. I had several issues with my mattress cover and the gentleman there assisted me a few times. Thank you! The washers are clean and they have change machines. You can also drop off your laundry for them to do for you.
Laundry is beautiful. Washing machines are new. You can pay by credit card. I really liked the service staff. Beautiful place
This Laundromat is a block form my house and Ive been using it for 3 years. Miss Lottie is Fantastic and is great for the community in general and the Laundromat in particular.Why 1 star??? More than 50% of the machines have not been working for over 1 year. And now more and more are broken down. Example. There are 9 medium sized washing machines. 2 work.I spend about $10 week doing my laundry. Times 52 weeks a year is $520. Until these machines are fixed, I will drive my laundry somewhere else. I encourage anyone who can do this to protest this business until they provide a reasonable serve..
The laundry is super. Washing laundry quality. Washing machines are new. All machines accept credit cards. The folding service is awesome. Prices are nice. I like the place.
During my Training in Oakland, Lake Merritt Laundromat we were using was questionable at best. I see all brand New Express Dexter washers and Express Dryers.. Without a doubt, it was the best service I have had in a long time. For a very reasonable price we dropped off our clothes and were able to pick them up, cleaned and folded, the same day. It allowed us to continue training without the hassle of fitting laundry into our already busy schedule. I would absolutely recommend them and will be returning if my training brings me to Oakland Again. Very Friendly!!
This place is awesome. They open late even on the weekday. The place is clean and the machines are pretty new. To top things off, the machines accept credit cards, wow!
Luv the makeover they gave this place! The machines Ive used have worked flawlessly. You can tell, the new owners actually care about this place. The best part......the washing machines have the perfect amount of suds! hope it stays this way
Laundromat is always super chill and always clean. People there are always nice. Washers and Dryers always work. Definitely the best laundromat around.
Machines are more reliable since new management took over. Come see Miss Lottie!UPDATE: They have replaced all of the machines. They all now take cards as well as quarters. The dryers dried my load I half the time. They also have free WiFi.
Hands down this is the bed laundromat in Oakland. Always super clean and everything works. Staff is always friendly. Everything takeCredit cards and open everyday.
Laundry is very good! Clean washing machines. Polite staff. High quality washing and folding.
Wash clothes I come here 2 times a week. Washing machines are always clean and working. I pay by credit card. I like it here.
We are from out of town and found Lake Merritt Laundromat on Google Maps. So glad we did. The place was very clean, the machines are clean, and They very friendly and helpful if you need anything. I very highly recommend this laundromat for service cleanliness friendliness and getting your laundry clean! Thank you Lake Merritt Laundromat for being there!
Amazing laundromat! Always clean and the machines are well maintained. My go-to laundromat in the area.
This is the best place in Oakland to do laundry. Their washers and dryers are always clean and operate properly! I cant wait for their second location to open!
What an amazing laundromat. Everything is always clean, machines are always working, everything take credit card, free WiFi, coffee shop next door and just an amazing place to hang while doing laundry. With the express dryers and washer I get out in 45 mins flat. Can’t beat that anywhere.
Great family owned business. Recently bought out the old owners and just turned this into a fantastic laundromat. Always very clean and welcoming. Miss lottie is still down there doing wash and fold. 10th was free now when you use credit cards. If the owner is there he usually has his kids and is giving out free quarters. Love this place!
Under its new owner, this laundromat is wonderful. Everything is modern and works well. This is a far cry from the previous ownership when most of the machines were broken most of the time. Although I live nearby, I went elsewhere and mentioned this in a review. The new owner reached out a few months ago asking me to give it another chance. I appreciated that, and now am back to this laundromat.
Former customer at Wesley here. Love what the new owners have done with the place. Have it a much needed makeover, and clearly their hard work shows. Everything is clean, and all the machines have worked smoothly for me. Nice bonus having the tv and free wifi!Spoke with the new owners the other day, and they told me they have new machines on the way which will also take credit/debit/Apple Pay. They stop by the shop frequently to make sure everything is running without fail. Great spot with local owners!
Great location. Wonderful vibe with a friendly atmosphere. Local owners. Makes laundry day a little less of a hassle.
Great place! I will only come to this place. Always clean and best prices in Oakland only $1 a pound Super clean inside
Clean, standard prices ($3.25 for the 3 load washer, $.25 for 5 mins in the dryer), 10th wash free when you use your credit card. Parking in this neighborhood is rough. Street sweeping before noon every second and fourth Tuesday. Super friendly attendant. No complaints!
Great facilities! Used for the first time and what makes this place really shine is Miss Lottie!
I love wearing clothes but theyre constantly getting dirty. I also hate spending my whole day doing laundry. This laundromat is the best in the bay. I can run 4-5 loads at a time and be done in about an hour. Fast, clean, free wifi, flat screen TV, updated machines. Same wash&fold as before. Bonus is its a local family owned business.
This laundromat is clean and very nice the staff are helpful and they offer free wifi to pass the time while you are waiting. They have a few different sizes of washers ranging from the eco 2 loads of laundry to the industrial machines. which can wash about 10 loads. all of the machines use about half the amount of soap you expect.
Laundry high level. Washing machines are new. Accept credit cards. Friendly staff. I really like.
We come here to wash our comforters as they have a great selection of machine sizes. The facility is SUPER CLEAN, and theyre quick to answer any questions if you have them
Laundry is great. Washing machines are new. Pleasant prices.
Travelling from Europe met the lovely lady (Dotty I think? sorry it was a few months ago) and she was super helpful and kind with our wash and helped get it all done and smell good.
Lave wash and fold and delivery service is located here as well this is a great laundromat
Always clean. They are all brand New Express Dexter washers and Express Dryers. and close to home :) So glad its here!
This is a amazing place very friendly and helpful.. I would recommend this place and its my first time coming and its amazing with Television free Netflix
Today is the first time Ive been to this Laundromat & I LOVE IT YALL! You can use credit card, debit card or coins to wash & dry. They have vending machines (that also take card) & a ATM here. Theres also a cafe next door. Everyone is very respectful and kind. & its clean here. For now on this will be my go to place for washing in the town, & really because they take CARD! I dont carry cash ... therefore getting coins isnt convenient for me really & I hate change (coins).
They are the best Laundromat have your clothes wash dry fold and ready the same day . No one care for your cloths like cayey laundromat does . Excellent service
Best Laundromat in the Bay Area! Always very clean and they take Credit Cards! Even get your 10th wash free by using your credit card. Definitely safe to start your wash and walk to the coffee shop for some great coffee! They have a pizza place next door in the evening or a snack and soda machine as well. Miss lottie and Nikila are always down there to help or to wash your clothing if you dont have time for $1 per pound. Just absolutely love this place!
The wash and fold service is amazing, prices are fair
It gets super busy, but its my favorite spot.
Great place and customer friendly. I love this location. Very clean.
The place was clean. Plenty of seats available for customer use and wifi free. There was people on site. Overall it was accomadating and a decent place.
Updated review: All new machines. Everything is fixed, which is very nice.
This laundromat is discriminatory against Black customers, perhaps young Black customers. I came here to do laundry after seeing excellent reviews. I brought in my laundry and went back to get detergent and came back in to get my quarters. The attendant who is also Black seemed alarmed and immediately asked me WHAT I was doing in the laundromat...my first thought? Laundry...because its a laundromat. I received no greeting. I told her I already brought my items in, then she said oh, and turned away. As I loaded the laundry I watched how she worked. Shes checking in on White and non Black folks, smiling in their faces, greeting them as they walked in. Then a non-Black man came in to use the vending machine and left. So I spoke up...Is he a customer? You didnt ask him why he was here. She then says that she was just asking me if I was washing and she didnt see me come in the first time and he was a regular customer. She then insinuated that I, a young professional Black woman, should have greeted her when I walked through the door but here she is smiling ear to ear for White folks who arent offering her so much as a hello. On top of that, before I spoke up, she passive aggressively told a non-Black girl that people are just too sensitive these days, meaning she knew I peeped her prejudice. So sad to see other Black people with a bias against skinfolk. I dont appreciate the insinuation that I was trying to take their quarters. I dont spend in cash and Im DEFINITELY not paying in quarters. I have a bank account and a credit card...Just FYI keep in mind when you go here, this is a gentrified neighborhood and so is the laundromat. On top of that? This place is EXPENSIVE and the machine didn’t return all of my change. $20 for two machines plus drying. Never coming back. Peace.I’m updating this review because after I left it the attendants manager called her and then she made a scene arguing with me in front of all of the other customers telling me I needed to tell Derrick (I’m assuming this is her manager that she isn’t prejudice [she is.]) So not only is the attendant unwelcoming but she’s unprofessional and I’ll be reposting this review until I receive an apology because apparently her manager told her everything was OK. (It wasn’t.) And on top of that their 5 dollar washer didn’t even fill up with water to wash my clothes. I lost my money, an afternoon and I was harassed by the attendant here. I’m going to go out on a short limb and say she would have felt it was ok to argue with me if I wasn’t Black. Totally unprofessional.——————————Your attendant isn’t racist she’s descriminatory and the assumption that I’m stealing quarters but White patrons are not proves that and your response shows that you condone this abhorrent behavior, including her charging towards me and inciting an argument and causing a scene in front of all of your patrons. It’s not a surprise to me that there are not only no Black people leaving reviews but also no Black people in the laundromat itself. We aren’t welcomed here unless we are working. This is NOT how you handle such a serious complaint. Now what I’ll be doing is filing a complaint with the state of California, good luck as well I’m not only paying for that but continuing to pull the YELP review after I keep reposting it. This was NOT an apology.
Loved it, very clean, TV, wifi,sofas. Very affordable. Clerks available for assistance.
Super clean. Super quite. Great prices! Free Wifi and Television with free Netflix!!!
Lake merritt landromat is the best. Staff very friendly. I will comback.
This place is very nice and the people that run it are great.
What an amazing laundromat!
