Fresh Laundry & Cafe

I really liked this place when they first opened. They steadily keep raising their prices & are getting too expensive.
However the place is always clean.
The machines work well.
Its nice & cool inside.
The little café has good drinks especially their smoothies.
So all in all its still my favorite to go when I need to do large loads of laundry or take my son to do his laundry.
Nothing replaces the peace of mind of having your own washer & dryer at home but that's not an option for everyone unfortunately.
So it nice to have these types of places However please stop raising prices.
Laundry shouldn't cost a small fortune to do twice a week.

Laundry area: spotless! The level of cleanliness is truly amazing — everything looks fresh and well-kept. All the machines are in great shape and work perfectly, which makes doing laundry here a pleasant experience.

Now, about the cafeteria — it definitely needs more love. I ordered a coffee, and unfortunately, it was served cold. Whenever I’m stressed or sad, a hot cup of coffee always cheers me up, but this one missed the mark. I also noticed that the same employees who work in the laundromat seem to be managing the cafeteria, which might explain the issue. Hopefully, they can improve that part soon because the laundry side is absolutely excellent.

My washing machine stopped working so I looked for a laundry to go to.  I picked the Fresh Laundry & Cafe.   What a great place.  There are many washers, including different sizes, and many dryers too.  It is a large laundry, and you can enjoy something to drink and eat.  I have used this laundry twice and I am very pleased with the results and how friendly the staff are.  I will be using Fresh Laundry until my washing machine is fixed.

I’ve never been to a laundromat before, but my washer in my apartment right now is broken and won’t be fixed for another week or so… I just got back from vacation and then worked 4 shifts at the hospital so you can imagine the amount of laundry I had was excessive. I came here around 9:45 at night and instantly was greeted with friendly smiles and lots of help cause it was clear I’ve never done this before. The owner is very sweet and helpful, and the girl she has attending the building and helping her was extremely welcoming and helpful as well. There was only about 3 people in there with me. When I walked in the big room full of washers and dryers I was shocked to say the least. It is squeaky clean- like absolutely spotless, it’s bright, has a numerous amount of washers and dryers of all different sizes, and spaces for you to fold the laundry when you’re done. There are clean carts to put your laundry on. They also have vending machines full of laundry detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, and then snacks and drinks as well. They also have a cafe that makes smoothies and has other snacks, but they close at 9pm so I missed out on that - but the menu looks appealing and the seating area is impressive. I must say that this laundromat exceeded all my expectations and after a second of being there, I was no longer “intimidated” or “scared” to use the laundromat, considering that laundromats usually don’t have the greatest reputation and seem to always be dirty, old, have “creepy” people wandering them, and just are never a very safe environment which makes for an uneasy and awful experience in the end. If I have to use a laundromat again in the future, I 10000000% will be coming back to fresh laundry & cafe and I highly recommend that you do too :)

This laundry mat is top notch! Nice, new machines, very clean environment,  friendly and professional service. Also offers full service wash, dry and fold between the hours of 7am - 11pm. Restrooms are well maintained,  clean and in good working order. And a Cafe to boot!! I had pizza while I waited! Highly recommend!

34th Laundry

Ive been a regular here for almost 3 years now.Everytime I've came in i have been welcomed, floors and machines are very well maintained and environment is comforting… Not to mention the cheapest prices

Hands down 34th Street Laundry in Gainesville is the absolute best location serving the Community of Gainesville to have your laundry done or dropped off & have their friendly, responsible staff have it taken care of while you run other errands.

Either way, it’s conveniently located in Gainesville. What a breath of fresh air it was to meet the two girls that work the shifts there, Jill & Elena. So kind, polite & helpful. It was nice to strike up some conversation with both sisters & I also made acquaintance’s while there with Dennis & Lucky a fellow Mercedes Benz enthusiast. 😎

Jill mentioned they haven’t raised their prices in years. What a Godsend especially during these tough economic times.

Can’t say enough positive things about 34th Street Laundry. It’s not just a Laundry mat. It’s also a place to make friends in the Community of Gainsville. -Michael.

Went to use this laundromat this past week as it is right by where I live. As soon as I walked in the building it smelt like propane. As a side note I am familiar with propane use in laundromats but this propane odor was so strong. When I mentioned it to the attendant they told me that it's normal and nothing is wrong. I proceeded to do my laundry anyway figuring I would stay outside or in my car because of the smell. There was a young man there who I assume is friends or related to the attendant who has quite an attitude. I could hear him talking to the attendant like she was trash and her fighting back with him. Not what I expect to see at a business. I thought about utilizing the wash and fold service as I saw that is available and although the price per pound is great the folding is something left to be desired so I decided against that. You would think if you are paying for a service they would at least know how to fold in a way that does not resemble a little kid learning to fold. All in all was not a great experience even though nothing bad happened to me directly the appearance, dirty machines and dirty inside, the attendant and her friend fighting inappropriately at a business, and the propane smell was enough to make me take the extra trip to another laundromat.

Employees are always super helpful. It’s very clean and well kept. Machines are all brand new. They always give refunds if anything goes wrong. Per the negative reviews, they’re untrue. They have the cheapest wash, dry, fold service & the fastest turn around time! I highly recommend.

Was able to drop off over 150Lbs of clothes and sheets with a turn around time of maybe 3 hours was very pleased and super grateful will most definitely be back

Tower Square Cleaners

The cleaners must have changed hands from the previous owners.  The current cleaners shrunk my favorite cashmere cardigan and ruined a brand-new silk dress by pressing out the permanent pleats.  They refused to compensate me in any way and pointed to the flyer on the wall that said the customer is responsible for any damage. I had to buy another dress for a wedding, at my expense.  The owner's attitude and that of the staff was condescending and rude.  They will not stay in business long with this type of customer service.

Rip's Cleaners

If you need your clothes professionally cared for, RIPS is the place!! I brought them a very important dress to clean, and although it was a difficult task, they handled it with the utmost care!
You guys over there at RIPS are Top-Tier in my book and you'll always have my business!!

⭐ ZERO STARS (if I could give none, I would) ⭐

Rips Cleaners on Main Street is one of the most vile, hateful, and unprofessional establishments I’ve ever encountered. This place is NOT an inclusive business — it’s a toxic, disgusting environment that thrives on harassing and mocking customers instead of treating people with basic respect.

In particular, the individual who identified herself as the manager — a blonde woman dressed in all black, wearing black glasses — was the one who initiated the harassment. Instead of handling her role with professionalism, she chose to belittle, mock, and demean a paying customer. When confronted, she attempted to hide behind law enforcement, despite being the aggressor in the situation.

The business itself mirrors the attitude of its staff: run-down, unpleasant, and completely devoid of accountability. The name “Rips” couldn’t be more fitting, because this business is dead on arrival.

Save yourself the trouble — there are plenty of reputable cleaners in town that actually respect and value their customers. Rips Cleaners is not one of them. Harassment, hostility, and hateful behavior are the only services they seem capable of providing.

Final verdict: Rips Cleaners should RIP — Rest In Permanent failure.

In response to the owner’s attempt at “damage control”: the statement only confirms everything wrong with this establishment. By dismissing me as a “non-customer,” they revealed that basic respect only applies if you’re handing them money — an admission of exclusion, not professionalism. Their claim of “unprovoked harassment” is pure projection; it’s a guilty party flipping the script to mask their own conduct. Even more disturbing is their attempt to frame me “refusing to vacate” when I was standing on a public sidewalk waiting for an Uber. That is not trespassing — that is overreach and hostility. Closing their response with “we remain dedicated to serving all members of our community” is the most hollow, performative mask imaginable. They had the chance to own their actions, or even extend a basic apology, but instead rushed out a defensive manifesto within two hours — a panicked, corporate word salad that only highlights their guilt. Instead of building trust, their response proves the point: Rips Cleaners is not a safe or inclusive business.

Update 7/20/25
I had my staff go to the client home to assure the suits were not present. (3rd set of eyes) Upon seeing the suits were not present,  she called the cleaners and the staff told her that they told me yesterday, I could come get the suits. Upon her going to their establishment the suits were brought from the back of the store.  No apologies were rendered for the rudeness from the owner Lanie nor the an apology for the disrespect and distress caused to my client a disabled senior citizen. We are thankful Lanie and her staff returned the suits that they stole, however she shouldn't have had to be threatened with an attorney to do what is right.

7/19/25 The owner Lanie is unprofessional and has no customer service. She over talked my disabled client who has been a loyal customer for 5 years. I attempted to assist him but her rudeness was absurd. They refused to take ownership of giving my client 2 suits that don't belong to him and took 2 of his custom made suits. She refused to acknowledge that they made a mistake.  She stated that they don't make mistakes. Did I mention they hung up on me, resulting in me calling back. This is horrible to take away from the disabled and not own ownership. I informed Lanie that they would be contacted by an attorney since they refused to return the stolen custom made suits. She responded oh well. I  ended the call.

Horrible customer service. I’m not going to say anything too bad but just let it be known Rip’s on Main Street in Gainesville is just as bad as Rip’s in Palatka. Take your clothing to Crane’s or S and S. At least they treat you with respect and don’t make you feel like you’re an animal or like you HAVE to take your clothing to their locations. If you know you know. Just take your items to another company.

Okay, so I might be the exception. Took a black blazer with a light color sleeve lining. IT was really dirty. Dropped off Thursday and it was ready on Friday after 2 pm. Look fabulous and the sleeve lining was super clean. I have used RIP'S b4 and never had a problem. Thank you for a good job on my blazer. I'm happy 😊

$400 John Elliott shirt ruined and the place will not respond because obviously  they followed 100% the dry cleaning instructions on the shirt.   It was in great condition when it was left at this location and returned to me trashed. They even blamed the manufacturer. It was the shirt's fault! It was the second time I dry cleaned it (the first time at a different location of course.) I'm not saying that a few clothes will be returned as they should, I am saying be prepared to lose your clothes and for them NOT to respond to you because they will never ever be at fault. You have been warned. Be aware of this place. Perfect and easy business model to cash in if you are never responsible for damages because people are going to trust in your word? What this business is has a term but I will leave it up to your discretion.

I have taken my cleaning … men’s and women’s clothes, leather goods, quilts, bedspreads to Quslity Cleaners for the past 10 years. I’ve always been satisfied with their work, it’s always ready on time and I have always been treated in a friendly and respectful manner. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

I’d give zero stars if I could. Worst customer service ever. Never a smile or a “hello” or “thank you”… ALWAYS come in weekly with same blouses for “press only with starch” and today was charged $4+ extra and when I asked why such a difference, she said I didn’t say press only (I definitely did)… then she says to me “it’s only $4 more”… I said it’s the principal and will be going elsewhere…

I brought 7 short sleeved shirts in for wash and press, usually around $5 to 6 dollars per shirt. When I picked them up she said they required hand ironing due to the fabric content and charged me $76.27 for 7 shirts then gave me $5 off for a new customer. If they had called with the new price I would have washed and pressed them myself but no call.

We are new to the area and I only paid $6 per for the same shirts previously. There are plenty of cleaners nearby, so be sure to ask for a price upfront. A phone call would have saved them a customer, but I will not be returning here to be ripped off again.

Quality cleaners will damage your clothe and won't do anything about it!!!

I brought an expensive leather jacket to get it "professionally cleaned" and when I picked it up I noticed that it was not the same color and the leather looked dry.

I decided to go back to speak with the manager to see what could be done. When I arrived one employee kindly told me that the manager would call me to see how we could make it right.

Never received a call in 3 weeks so I ended up going to the store to see what was the deal. Because I realize that accidents happen, I went with all the respect and just asked for my jacket and what was going to be the solution for their mistake. Then the store manager treated me like garbage and had a horrible attitude. she said all she could do was to give me a store credit!

That's when I started to get nervous and kindly asked her to lower her voice and to stop with the bad attitude and explained that a store credit would not help since I would never use their services again.

To my surprise she started to yell even louder.

So please! Don't ever leave your clothe in hands of these mediocre people.They would never take ownership of their mistakes, instead they will treat you like garbage!! I guess this business treat people like they see themselves, like TRASH! They literally look like TRASH!

They are expensive, careless, irresponsible, rude and low class people!
