Sit & Spin

This is a very nice launderette! Clean. Helpful and attentive attendants. Coffee shop attached. Fast.
The washer and dryers have names.
GREAT NAME!

I have to say, the people here are so incredibly nice!
I’m new to the neighborhood (lived in South Beach before) and needed to get measurements for a friend’s bridal dress. I came here after searching for a tailor and that’s when I met Kenny.
He doesn’t normally do this, though Sit&Spin DOES do simple alterations. He was like hey no problem, free of charge & happily took my measurements for me when honestly he was busy with a bunch of other stuff. Really saved me in a bind.
Thank you so much! Will be coming here should I need the dry cleaning + simple alteration services ;).

If I didn’t already have an in unit washer and dryer, I would definitely make this my go to laundry mat. Neeta (I’m pretty sure I didn’t get the spelling of her name right) is super sweet and helpful and will help you whenever you need. She’s all about the service and won’t push you to spend more than you need. Wi-​fi available, and with a pretty open space. I went on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded at all, but multiple machines were in use. Definitely recommended.

Was in the area because my husband is in the hospital near by, we live over an hour away and I needed to wash. This laundromat operates on a laundry card system and they lent me a card to load with money and didn’t make me pay for it since I wasn’t local. I had money left over and they returned it, making sure I saw the card display so I knew she was being honest. This kind, wonderful lady is named Jeti. She takes great pride in her job, knows all her regulars by their first name and was super sweet. The facility has state of the art machines, free wi-​fi, is clean and cute (the machines all have name tags with different machines) and I washed in «Norman» & dried in «Josephine». Jeti offered to watch my washer so i could go get a snack or drink down the bar &, I walked across the street to 7 – 11 to get coffee and a snack. If I need to do laundry again while my hubby is in the hospital, I will definitely come back. To top it all off, as I left, she said «I pray your husband gets well soon». Thank you, Jeti for everything!

Super helpful staff that make you feel right at home. It’s a cozy little nook with very clean and well maintained facilities. Definitely one of my favorite laundry mats in the city.

Dryer broke. Haven’t been to a laundromat in years (first world problem) and couldn’t have been happier with this place. The attendant is super helpful for someone out of practice, the place is clean and the machines are fast. Oh and I’m on free wifi now typing this. Will be back, even when my dryer works again.

This place is always clean and there are lots of machines available. I never have to wait. The prices are great too. One load is $ 4.35 and the dryer is .40 for 7 minutes. The machines have a large capacity so you can easily put everything in one load.

Sort of out of the way and hard to find, but very reasonably priced, with good quality wash and dry machines, a bathroom, free wifi, accessible parking (at least when I was here on a Monday afternoon), and the attendant was exceedingly helpful and accommodating, even with several customers in the store.

I never thought I would ever look forward to doing my laundry. That’s what my life is like since I’ve been going to Sit & Spin. The washers and dryers are state-​of-​the-​art, easy to use, handle big loads, and all have names on them which is hilarious. The granite counter tops are always clean and perfect for folding. It’s next to Philz Coffee. But most of all, the lady who runs the place is literally the nicest woman in the world. She bumps this place up from four to five stars.

I have a washer & dryer in my building and I still take my laundry here. It’s clean, the machines are super fast & effective & the owner is super nice. The pricing is pretty good too considering how much you can get in a 25lb washer and how fast it is.

This place is awesome. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION. Always a friendly lady working there, looking after your clothes so it doesn’t get stolen… I’ve heard this happens often at other places? Also doesn’t hurt that the machine that literally has my name on it is always free. Makes me feel VIP ;)

I’ve lived in the Castro on-​and-​off for years, so I’ve passed by Sit & Spin quite a few times before actually taking the laundromat plunge for the first time… let me say, so glad my first experience was here!
The machines are all well-​kept, clean, and easy to use. They have two large machines that can actually wash 6 loads of laundry at once — pretty amazing if you have about two months worth of laundry to finish in an hour. The regular machines are great too and can definitely handle about 3-​loads of laundry (I didn’t realize this until after I started a bunch of unnecessary loads).
True reason this place takes the cake? The lady running the laundromat was extremely sweet! I didn’t have enough cash on my to start all of my laundry at once, so she loaned me some money so I could get everything started and then pop over to the ATM to pay her back — talk about amazing customer service! Just note, the machines are on a pre-​pay card type system (think MUNI) and the machines that load the cards with money only accept dollar bills — no change.
Cheers!

First-​time user of Sit & Spin today. I neglected my laundry for a month and figured it would be quicker to go to a laundromat so I could do six loads at once. Loved this place! It was Friday at noon and I had no problem finding vacant machines. And the place is super clean. The money card system is a bit confusing but the gentleman attendant saw me struggle and helped me through it with a smile. I had trouble adding bleach and he helped me without me having to ask. Wash cycles are 21 minutes. Dryers are huge and efficient. 21 minutes for dress shirts, 35 minutes for heavy towels and bath mats. When I was done the attendant checked my machines to make sure I didn’t miss anything. This is the way to run a business.

Just love the location right next to Philz Coffee. It’s very clean and reasonably priced. The lovely lady who works her is super friendly and extremely helpful. I have gone here for major, large items such as duvet covers. The laundry up the street recently closed, so I will be going here for all of my major washings.

Helpful and fast, and they do laundry too!

Always clean and convenient laundromat. It is a bit pricey but their machines always are open and clean well. The owners are very nice and always helpful. The only thing I can’t stand is the money cards. I have not yet mastered how to insert the money card in the dryer to get more time. It always takes me a while to keep adding time. Overall it’s a really nice place and it’s next to some GREAT coffee!

This place is perfect, very clean and updated. Machines are fast and voluminous (triple loaders.) Prices are competitive and generally very friendly owners. Oh, and directly next to Philz Coffee — no need to do laundry anywhere else.

The lady at the laundry place is sooooo sweet, helpful and fast. The machines are well kept, clean and there is free wifi. Philz coffee is always a treat as well. After coming here, I will not go to another launderer again. This place is the best!

My 5 stars goes to Yeye! She is sweet and very helpful. I have been coming here for 6 years, she is always so polite with everybody!

Waschsalons sind ja in Deutschland nicht so populär, aber hier in den Staaten gehören sie zum Stadtbild einfach dazu. Ich kann übrigens den Film «40 Days and 40 Nights» wärmstens empfehlen, der handelt nämlich davon, wie sich zwei Menschen in einem Waschsalon in San Francisco kennenlernen…
Das Sit & Spin ist ein besonderer Ort: es ist kein ordinärer Waschsalon, sondern obendrein ist noch einer der besten Coffeeshops in San Francisco dem Laden angeschlossen. Außerdem kann man hier nicht nur seine Wäsche selbst waschen, sondern man kann sie auch ganz bequem waschen lassen. Und genau das habe ich hier schon häufiger machen lassen: ich bin nämlich vor kurzem nach San Francisco gezogen und da meine (temporäre) Wohnung keine eigene Waschmaschine besitzt, gehört ein Trip zum Sit & Spin nun schon zum Alltag.
Wenn du den Waschservice «Wash & Fold» in Anspruch nehmen will, dann einfach in den Waschsalon reingehen und gleich links um die Ecke ist ein kleines Büro, wo wechselweise entweder ein Mann oder eine Frau asiatischer Abstammung mit einem freundlichen Lächeln auf dich warten. Und wenn sie nicht in ihrem Kämmerchen sitzen, dann sind sie wahrscheinlich gerade dabei, eine Ladung Wäsche zu waschen oder aufzufalten.
Die beiden sind wirklich super-​nett; vor allem die Frau ist ein Goldstück. Da ich zuhause noch nicht viele Kleiderbügel habe, hat sie mir bei meinem letzten Besuch gleich ein Dutzend Metallkleiderbügel mitgegeben. Außerdem hat sie mein frisch-​gebügeltes Hemd (das ist im Service inklusive) auch noch schön aufgefalteten, da es draußen kräftig geregnet hat und die Hemden auf dem Bügel nur pitschnass geworden wären.
Natürlich kann man hier auch seine Wäsche selbst waschen: entweder bringt man dafür sein eigenes Waschmittel mit oder man kann auch Einzelpackungen am Automaten ziehen. Während man dann auf seine Wäsche wartet, kann man entweder im Coffeeshop nebenan (Philz Coffee) eine frisch-​gebrühte Tasse Kaffee schlürfen und/​oder man kann sich auch mit seinem Laptop hinhocken und über das gratis W-​Lan im Internet surfen.
Natürlich kann man auch mit den anderen Waschbären hier flirten… das funktioniert hier auch ganz gut!

My first visit was tonight and I’ve got to say, the service was spectacular. Not only did the woman working there allow me to start my load after they technically do not accept any more wash loads, she also went out of her way to help me get the card loaded. I didn’t have any cash on me so she put in a spare card she had and paid for my wash load while I went to a nearby atm and got money out!
She also informed me of the wi-​fi and bathroom available to customers. Combine this with philz next door (which for me translates as delicious vegan baked goods) and you’ve got quite the amenities.
I was a little put off at the cost of the washer load ($ 3.95) until i saw the sign that says each washer is a triple load capacity! Wish I had brought some towels too. Dryers are at .40 cents per 7 minutes, so I did all my laundry a little over $ 5 — not too bad!
Definitely will be gladly coming here for my next laundry experience
