Family Coin Laundry

Used to be my favorite laundromat. Right by my apartment, predictable slow times so you can plan on going when it’s less crowded, even the owner (middle aged Korean man) would offer patrons free coffee while they waited. I don’t know what happened. For starters that lovely man and his free coffee disappeared. Last time I was here there were 8 or 9 out of order dryers. Not great. Currently, there’s 16. SIXTEEN! Out of about 30 total dryers. I would say it’s been over a month since I’ve seen anything less than 5 – 6 dryers marked out of order. It’s slow right now, maybe myself and 3 other customers. I’m waiting for dryers to become available. This is ridiculous. I won’t be back. A few months ago the price of a wash went up, every size machine increased by $ 0.25. Utilities become more expensive, especially when you consider the drought, so that’s fine, but you have to keep the machines working. I’ll absolutely go out of my way not to come back here. What a shame.

A decent coin laundry with everything you need to get your laundry done when your apartment’s machines are all taken by the weekend storm. I come here for solitude during busy laundry days and find myself finishing parts of books I haven’t opened in months. The name suits itself. It has a family vibe to it with all of the little restaurants and shops in nearby. There’s even a Vons walking distance if you want to be adventurous.
The staff is usually helpful but you need to ask for what you want. Machines are all in working order. I haven’t seen one break down on me yet. It’s a dependable spot with nice open areas to fold laundry as well. One woman helped me after seeing my multiple failed attempts to fold my bed wrapper. That was nice.
Prices are decent, but the lot can get crowded on peak days and hours. Usually weekend afternoons. That’s when the weirdos come out too, but their harmless.
1.75 washes.
.25 for 10 mins of dryer

I went here last night for the first time. I live in Atwater and have been trying to find a laundromat that’s central enough so that I can get other errands done while waiting for my clothes to wash and dry. This is next to Vons and centrally located enough in Glendale that you can run any erroneous errands if you really want to. The place is clean, and I didn’t have any problems with people or the machines. Will I come back here? Absolutely. Even if it’s just because the ecstasy of completing my grocery shopping while my clothes dry is basically more than I can bare to handle.

Unfortunate circumstances at my apartment drove me to search for a laundromat that is clean and in a safe area. Although there are several closer to me than this place, I choose this one for all my laundry needs. It’s right next to a Vons, which is convenient if you are scatter-​brained like me and forget your detergents.
Inside, the laundromat is well-​maintained and has several machines of all different sizes. I’ve been fortunate enough to never have to use a laundromat before, and the large front-​loading machines have very clear instructions for those of us who are newbies.
The owner is very friendly and is frequently spotted greeting customers and tidying up the place. I have never had a problem finding machines, whether its a weekend morning or a weekday evening. I can usually get 2 – 3 loads done in approximately 1 hour. I really couldn’t ask for much more from a laundromat.

Best little laundry spot in Glendale. It’s more homey than anything. Its family owned and the owner is truly an angel. It’s not too busy in the afternoons (as most laundry mats are). On those days, I usually get my laundry done in an hour! Quick eh? This place rocks.

Sometime in 2010 I did a search for laundromats on San Fernando Road in Glendale since I had to drive my son to his school and wanted to go to the gym in Glendale, but needed to do my laundry beforehand.
It made no sense to drive back to Echo Park to the Lucy’s laundromat that I had been going for several years, after taking my son to school in Glassell Park.
I recognized the picture of Dinah’s Chicken in google maps and since Vons is around the corner I chose to stop here after the school and before the gym to do my laundry.
This is a small laundromat that has the family feel to it. The guy who runs this establishment is often carrying a coffee pot offering cups to patrons. I have seen a service person there a few times to fix the dryers. There is even a small restroom, vending machines for detergent and a television on the wall. The doors are left open which brings a good breeze plus the sun shines in through the windows early in the morning.
There is a section with a table and benches to sit plus a showing machine that I presume the guy uses as part of the business. The machines take quarters plus they have the change machine there for dollar bills and larger bills.
I was able to get my laundry done in 90 minutes each week. One week it was a bit crowded around the tables where I was folding. I did not realize until I got home that i was missing a dryer full of pants — mine and my sons uniform pants for school.
The next morning I drove straight to the Family Coin Laundry and asked the guy if he had seen my clothes. He went into a locked room and handed me a plastic bag with my pants all folded up. This was unexpected personal service. If this was at Lucy’s my clothes would have been long gone as they tell me there is no lost and found.
I highly recommend doing your laundry here where you are treated like family.
