H & H Coin Laundry

As there are two laundromats exactly opposite one and other, and this listing for H&H is confusing (its address corresponds to the business on the south side of street but map view shows it to be on the north side…). I am writing this review about the one located on the south side of the street, next door to The Holy Oak. At the time of my review, it was called Sparkle Laundry. While it seems to have been set up as if someone cares (good signage, phone number to call, wifi, small but nice tables), several of the machines were broken, and the day I visited, the change machine wouldn’t work, which made the place useless to me. So I went across the street to Bloordale Laundry, which was awesome (bigger, better machines, and a real person on site to take care of the place).

Alright, it’s been reviewed, but let’s elaborate a bit on Frau’s brief descriptors!
Very convenient location: assuming one lives in Bloordale, sure! I do, so it’s convenient. The real convenience is that it’s next door to Holy Oak, and just down the street from Ali Baba’s. Great!
Lots of machines: Maytag, both front and top loaders, with a bay of dryers that seems ample enough to serve peak times. The dryers are AWESOME, bordering on too hot, so bear that in mind if you’re drying delicates!
Large tables: hm, not really — and one is in the middle of the small space, making for a cramped job if there’s more than a couple people doing laundry at one time. Still, not worth complaining over, merely mentioning.
Other notes:
Inexpensive: on par with Coin Rite across the street (my previous laundromat of choice, now sadly a crapfest of broken machines and poor service), with 25cent 6 minute dry cycles that let me micromanage things to my liking.
Inconsistent signage/​instructions: a nitpick, but again worth mentioning — be careful what soaps/​fluids/​whatever you’re putting where, because depending on the machine you might inadvertently screw it up. I managed this, probably because I’m stupid and wasn’t paying attention. So don’t repeat my mistake.
Better crowd: if Coin Rite caters to the né’er-do-wells and degenerates that frighten me, H&H seems to cater to the né’er-do-wells and degenerates who excite/​amuse/​enrich me. I’ve seen many of my favourite bar and café employees/​regulars at H&H, which says… something, I’m not sure what.
Probably that it’s next door to Holy Oak and everyone with half a brain and a sense of style really digs that place, so H&H is a convenient place to wash those Value Village finds.

Very convenient location. Lots of machines and a couple large tables to fold.
