Kimbark Plaza Coin Laundry

Good fluff n fold service, but the male owner is WAY CREEPY, and says borderline harassing statements every time I’m there. I like the customer service of the workers and the wife= owner, but the guy is enough to make me find another place :(

God help me but this is the closest place that has «large» washers for industrial strength jobs. First off, good luck to you my friend in finding an available AND working machine. ALL the machines here are jacked up six ways to Sunday. Once you do manage to find a suitable machine, unfortunately you will either find yourself declaring the laundry mat equivalent of «1234 I declare thumb war» with either a surly bearded college student washing 4 pounds of sand from his «comforter» or a very disgruntled and harried mom with 5 kids opening your dryer and hauling your panties out shouting «mommy these aren’t mine are they?»
In short, unless you are washing leaves and sand from your «linens» or else wise own a considerably substantial collection of Disney Princess underwear, don’t bother.
Upside, there is an ATM nearby for getting 20.00 in quarters when you only need 5.00. Walk softly and carry a substantial change purse… wash on friends.

I have used their pick-​up and delivery service for my laundry. Kimbark Laundry does an excellent job. They pick up one day and return my laundry the next day, clean and folded and not needing ironing.
The only disadvantage is that the time for pick-​up and delivery is limited, usually 6 to 8 PM. So you have to pick days when you can be home at that time. But this is a small disadvantage. The convenience of having my laundry done is worth making the effort to fit their schedule.

I only go here because they’re close and sometimes I’m too lazy to do my own laundry so they wash and fold them for 50+ cent a pound. When I’m not being lazy and opt to do my own laundry it takes forever and I notice how worn out everything is. They’re now closed for renovation so we’ll see what happens when they reopen.

How does this jerk stay in business? The majority of the machine DO NOT WORK! The water pressure sucks so therefore the machines never have the correct water level and your clothes are not clean. Today I noticed new machines, used then and still no water in my machine during the wash cycle. Guess what excuse he’s giving his customers? He says «the new machine takes less water to wash». What a crock! He is a lying, fast talking a#$$ hole! I WILL NEVER COME BACK! Gave it 1 star for location only.

This place ain’t so bad :)

DROP OFF SERVICE UPDATE!
5 STARS & 3 CHEERS for KPCL’s Owner– Mr. C.
To my ABSOLUTE DELIGHT I received THE BEST customer service call today. Mr. C was AMAZING, POLITE and KIND!
I had a HORRIBLE experience with drop off service yesterday with a manager and employee and wrote a review accordingly. However, thank goodness for the edit function– as we all falter from time to time. TODAY I am feeling, respected and wanted as a customer and it is all because the owner took time to call me and make things right.
I reside in the West Loop and have many drop off laundry choices between here and Hyde Park. Where yesterday I thought I would never patronize the company again, today I will BE SURE to utilize their service to care for my drop off service needs.
*** The other great aspect of the company is they will text you when your order is ready. That’s GREAT!
Irene I wish you a healthy, 100% and speedy recovery. You are a SUPERSTAR!

I went to this place to get my drycleaning done just because it’s close to where I live. They ended up losing all 8 sleeve buttons off a blazer I have, and when I asked about this they told me there was nothing they could do. I ended up harassing them enough that they ended up giving me a discount, but it was so reluctant, and they were like «well there’s nothing we can do about the buttons». I had to buy all new buttons (and on an expensive blazer, ordering new buttons was of course not cheap). I understand that sometimes a button will be lost in the dry cleaning process, but EIGHT buttons? really?! How does that even happen? And not a single apology. DO NOT GO TO KIMBARK LAUNDRY

ZERO STARS. The staff are RULD BEYOND COMPARE. I dropped off a load to try to save time and felt like I’d stumbled into the Cuckoo’s nest, complete with a checkout employee named «Edna» who cursed at herself, the computer that wouldn’t work, me, the day in general, her life in particular, and anyone in hearing range. Top that off with another (unnamed) employee who wouldn’t let me use the so-​called «free» wifi because I wasn’t doing my load there (I was merely using the *more expensive* drop-​off service). This is the side of Hyde Park that, thankfully, is becoming a thing of the past. Not fast enough, unfortunately.

It’s got free parking, but that’s about it’s only perk. The laundry itself is overpriced (over $ 4/​load) and the dry cleaning service is TERRIBLE. After telling me they couldn’t get my dry cleaning back to me for a week at double average prices for the area, they proceeded to take NINE days to clean it — and there were still dirt stains!

It’s in the neighborhood with parking. I believe the owner could do more. I agree with an earlier comment – if another laundromat opened in the Hyde Park neighborhood, these people would be left in the wind. Can’t comment on the owner as I never see him. Teh attendant dows her best, but you can’t do much with inconsiderate people who a) leave their clothes in dryer and don’t return for hours and also customers tend to tie up dryers in their own devious ways. Frankly, I am hunting for another laundromat. Teh one at 53^rd and Harper is great (laundercoin), it’s just that you must feed the meter

After a horrendous episode at the laudrymat near my apt, my sister-​in-​law recommended that I try this place out. Thanks to Unilocal,I saw the laundrymat’s website and I was impressed by the professional presentation of the website and their advertisements on You Tube.
One of the things that impressed me about the businesss was that it is VERY CLEAN. The attendant greeted me when I entered the door and asked me if I needed any help. As of today (6÷17÷2011) the washer machines cost $ 2.00 and 25 cents for 8 minutes to dry your clothes.
I would give it more stars but I took one point away because it is difficult to get parking in that area. If you must wash your clothes, it is recommended that you go there early in the morning so that you will get a parking space.

I’d give this place five stars if the machines were updated, the tables wernt gross and if it were 24 hours. Oh and if the staff didn’t eat fried chicken with hot and BBQ sauce RIGHT next to where I’m folding my freshly dry clothes. And drip sauce on said clothing even after being asked to move.
Whenever I’m there the owner always says hello, offers to bring my clothes in and out of my car (I always wash about a good month worth of clothes) and as I’m 5’3 and about 125, I appreciate the assistance with the bags that usually are bigger than me.
There usually are some washers that are broken. Unfortunately for me, they usually are the ones I need. The ones left over are so-​so, and the dryers tend to get more of my quarters than they do at the normal laundromat I go to.
I don’t do the drop off service, mainly because I feel it’s a little expensive for the quantity of clothes I need. It’s good considering the location in Hyde Park, and the only reason why this place is even able to work is because it really has no competition. Once someone else opens up one, they’re done and it’s sad because the owner is a nice guy.

I thought about giving 2 stars — but they got a 3 in managing my complaint.
As another reviewer said, washers are very overpriced, I had to pay $ 4.50 for a large front loader so I could wash a comforter. The machine didn’t dispense the soap, which I had poured in. The response: «Well, these machines are old, that happens.» But they did readily let me wash it again for free (including soap) — hence the upgrade to 3 stars. But for machines that old and unreliable, the price is steep.

This gem of a place is in Hyde Park. I just started using their pickup and delivery service too. I have heard of pick up and delivery dry cleaning and I’ve dropped clothes off at a laudromat before but I never knew of a place that would pick up and deliver all my laundry… WOW. This place will pick up not only my dry cleaning, but my regular laundry and return it a few days later.
In regards to their Wash and Fold Pick-​up/​Delivery service, I am a very happy customer. If there is one thing in this world that I had doing, it’s laundry… actually it’s folding laundry! Kimbark Laundry seems to be using the right stuff because my clothes are returned cleaned, folded, and without static cling.
About the Dry Cleaning Pick-​up/​Delivery service I am also very satisfied. I have to wear a nice shirts all the time and don’t have too many of them. I used to have to trudge over to my cleaners twice a week just to make sure I had a good rotation. These guys do all the work for me! They drop off clean shirts and pick up my dirty ones every Tuesday and Friday and just bill my card.
This place gave me about 3 or 4 hours of my life back… every week!

Pure crap. Washers are over priced and 25 cents for 8 min of drying. And the dryers aren’t efficient at all. never going back!

I just recently started using their pick up service. My clothes where picked up in a timely fashion and it was Valentines day and returned on the same day. The driver was very courteous and kept me posted on the status of my clothes. It is a service worth using a little pricey but you are paying for convenience.
