Laundry Time

The employees are THIEVES, do not bother using this laundromat. I am missing some very expensive items. The whole time we were loading our washers, the employees were eyeballing everything. We turned our backs for a few minutes and our items were taken by them. One of the machines took some of my quarters and when I alerted them, they didn’t care, I lost my money. They pretended to not speak English, horrible people.

This laundry spot is the best in the area that I have found as of yet. It is clean, good equipment, and priced nicely. Additionally there are always staff onsite. They have a drop off service for a cheap $ 1.25 a pound. It is never to crowded. However, being in a place with a lot of military and wealthy households (Alameda), you will see brown care-​takers inside the laundry mat raising wild white/​Anglo children and teaching the Anglo kids Tagalog or Spanish. The kids will come up to you if you are brown because they are acculturated into associating brown-​ness with care. If you can tolerate this then you can get your laundry done without being exhausted in a clean and convenient facility.

I like this place a lot.
— New up to date washer and dryers and a few older models.
— Free Wifi
— Very Clean
— Reusable coin cups at the counter, just make sure you return it
— Flat Screen TV
— Sink to wash your hands
— Drop off service
But the main reason why I come here is because I love the free wifi. When doing laundry it takes time… Why waste your data plan else where with no wifi when you can use the free wifi here while doing laundry.

Yesterday was my first time ever going to this laundromat. I loved it. The laundromats around my house are so expensive, it takes more than $ 20 sometimes to wash my clothes. But this place blew my mind, it wasnt crowded & it was really cheap. I did 3 loads under $ 10. LOVED THAT THERES PARKING ON SITE & WIDE ENOUGH TO PARK. PLUS THE ENVIRONMENT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER LAUNDROMATS AROUND WHERE I LIVE.

Come here every week. The place is clean and not much people. Free wifi and cable TV for you to wash while you waiting. Love the place^^

So I have my own washer dryer at home, but when I have big things, comforter, sleeping bags, etc. I got to a laundromat.
Was really impressed by this place.
First thing I noticed was it was clean. Like McDonald’s clean. The floors are clean. No stains. No detergents. No water. Not lint balls or fabric softener sheets on the ground.
While I was there they were vacuuming the ceiling vents, cleaning the washer door seals and wiping all the counter.
Second thing I noticed was the majority of the washers and dryers were brand new.
About 25 cents more than average but really nice.
Washer really clean the items and dryer are gas so they are fast.
The owner shows pride of ownership throughout.
Really impressive place.

Been coming here for years & lately it’s been cleaned up & clearly under new management. I left some keys on top of the washer & left to run some errands. When I came back they were gone, but the friendly manager Benny was quick to retrieve them from the office for me! Good faculty, better people!

I Love coming here to do my laundry. Bennie is always so nice, greets all customers who come in. It’s Always nice to have a clean laundromat to do my laundry at. Also, I had an incident happen while my clothes were drying I left to run an errand, I came back and apparently my clothes didn’t dry and the machine stopped. I had put in $ 3 for my clothes to dry for an hour. I came back a bit upset and irritated. Bennie was great! He went out of he’s way to make me happy and satisfied. He gave me extra quarters and also gave me Lucky money for Chinese New year! He’s so friendly, Nice, and helpful. I would recommend doing laundry here. I do laundry at my apartment complex but they have big washers and dryers for my big loads.

i’ve been coming here for a few years now. Its clean quiet and very well maintained. I appreciate the helpful staff especially Benny!

Come here a lot and Benny is always on the move cleaning and making sure if his customers need anything. Great funny guy! Hope he stays and gets a raise!

Great laundry mat. Ive never had any issues here and the owners are friendly and helpful!

My wife Joyce and I love to do our laundry here because of the cleanliness and big machines. Not to mention the very friendly and helpful staff named Benny. He has always been a great help, keeping and maintaining the place. We recommend this laundry place. Good luck and more power! Keep it up!

I always come here because it’s a friendly atmosphere (especially when Benny is working, he keeps the place clean and straightened). The price is reasonable and there’s always parking. It’s close to where I live also.

Pros: Clean, newer machines, big TV’s that are always playing things that are fun to watch, lots of parking, near Bonfare and T-​mix (boba place).
Con’s: not a lot of folding space, a bit more expensive than surrounding ‘mats, still uses quarters, young guy that works there looks/​acts like he hates life but most especially hates you.
We keep coming back because it’s close and theres T-​mix next door. I’d like to see the prices come down a bit, and for them to go card system as I hate being a quarter hoarder. Updated vending machines (both laundry and food) would be great. And maybe hire an attendant who smiles at least sometimes.

This is one of 2 laundromats near my home, so I come here once or twice a month. It is fine for self wash. Lots of machines of various sizes, from small to gigantic. Dryers work well, lots of change machines, wifi etc. The thing I like about this place better than the place across the street is the vending machines for snacks/​drinks.
HOWEVER I would NOT use this place for the drop off service, where you drop off laundry for them to clean. While I was there today, I asked to use the bathroom to wash my hands after I put my dirty laundry in the washer. (So they will be clean when I take it out) There was NO soap in the bathroom. So when the employees use the bathroom and go back out to do your laundry, they have not washed their hands. I cannot even get over how gross that is. Then I saw him drop 2 pieces of wet clean clothes on the ground, and pick them up and put them straight in the dryer. I dont think there is a 5 second rule for the nasty floor of a laundromat. I just wouldn’t trust them to pay them to do my laundry for me. But to do yourself, the place is fine.

I do my laundry here because it’s convenient, but it would be great if they cranked up the heat. It is always so cold!
I have never had any issues with there being no washers or dryers available, but it would be nice if they had better seating arrangements, and a sink with warm water and soap.
Also, the young gentleman with the glasses who sits behind the counter could be a little bit more active by cleaning up the place. I tend to see garbage and debris on the counters and floor every time I do laundry.

If anybody would have seen the laundromat here before Laundry Time opened, you would have seen a laundromat that needed some big time improvement as far as cleanliness was concerned and there were washing machines that weren’t serviced (out of order). I hated doing my laundry when it was crowded, the floors weren’t clean, there weren’t enough washers and dryers available and then some of the washers were sooo dirty that when you washed your clothes, the dirt ended up on your washed clothes… WTF. You had to wash your clothes again. That resulted in my going to Rag’s across the street.
The only things left from the old laundromat are the vending machines (drinks/​snacks) and the dispensers of little boxes of detergent, fabric softeners, etc.
Laundry Time opened about three years ago and offered free drying at that time as a perk/​promotion for people to use the facility. They replaced all those old washing machines and dryers. I was happy they made the improvements.
Today I had a day off and being on a Monday it was good day to do the laundry. People are at work and/​or school; and it’s less crowded… just the way I like it. I wasn’t done with my laundry until almost 4:00 PM (a 2 hour chore), but that’s fine with me. More people were coming in as I was leaving. Whew! Perfect timing that I was done before the mob started coming in with their «dirty» laundry.
Laundry Time is clean. The majority of the machines are in working order. I only saw one washing machine out of order. I like using the express washing machine, front door loading and soap dispenser at the top. It’s $ 3.50 to use the washer, but they do have two big ones ($ 5.75). The dryers also serve their purpose. It’s 25 cents for 6 minutes of drying of clothes. What I don’t like about doing the laundry… folding clothes and socks — I’ve done enough of that when my parents had a Chinese laundry business about 50+ years ago.

You have to ignore the comments on some of the reviews. This place is clean and everything works. Serves it’s purpose.
The attendants mind their own business which is fine. I prefer it that way.
It’s a laundry place no one wants to be doing laundry or be around it. There’s free wifi, and the password is right next to the attendant.
Other than that I get everything in there done fast, prices aren’t bad especially when they have super washers and dryers.
There’s a frozen yogurt place too that you should check out as well. Helps kill the time.

Positives first: very clean, efficient washers and dryers. The positives stop there.
Very small counter for folding clothes. Overall vibe was quite unfriendly. I felt it the moment I walked in the place. Was stared at by the attendant and other patrons in a rather menacing way, each time I crossed the room to retrieve my clothes from the washer and/​or dryer. Not sure what that was about, but I was actually relieved when my clothes were done, got the heck outta there, and I won’t be back.
*I know, I know, it’s a laundromat, not exactly a place known for «good vibes,» but this place was unusually full of the bad kind. Unfortunately for them, they lost a customer on the first visit.

It’s a laundromat — woo.
Laundry Time has lots of well-​maintained machines, along with an attentive staff, free Wi-​Fi (be sure to grab the password), and a microwave for some reason. The prices can be a little high at $ 3.50 for a medium-​sized washer, but those who need their laundry done fast won’t be disappointed.
