Poppy Cleaners

Definitely coming back!!! BEST CLEANER IN TOWN! The clothes are very clean, fresh and smells good! Better than any other cleaners!

Love my local cleaners! They can get almost any stain out and everything looks brand new! They are honest when they can’t do something which I prefer over broken promises or mistakes. They always do their best to have everything ready early for me– so convenient and helpful and very nice people :)

My husband takes all of his dry cleaning here (shirts, pants, blazers, etc.). I do not buy clothing that has to be dry-​cleaned but I am short and often need alterations on length. The first time I was here, I brought in a Halogen skirt that needed the hem reinforced because *ahem* I don’t dry-​clean things that even are required to be dry-​cleaned ;) Got the skirt home, wore it to work, WITHOUT washing it and the hem fell apart. Fail #1. It was that cheap, clear/​plastic thread. I took it back and the alterations lady redid it. It’s been fine since but I don’t wear the skirt much anymore. Then I brought in a WHBM maxi dress that needed several inches off. It was taken up way too much and is now at least 2 inches above my feet. Fail #2. At the same time as the dress, I brought in a pair of jeans and a pair of dress pants, both altered for length. The jeans came back about 1inch shorter than I requested and the hem is crooked. Fail #3. They are now my «boot jeans» because they’re too short to wear with flats, sandals, wedges, etc. My dress pants — One leg was hemmed shorter than the other. Fail #4. THANK GOODNESS these were not hemmed too short. The lady fixed my pants and the hem has held, which was about 6 – 8 weeks ago.
Pros: the girls that work there are very nice and the dry cleaning prices are reasonable.
The alterations lady wanted to nickel and dime me for the cost of alterations — I challenged her and she lowered her prices (maybe she screwed up my stuff on purpose?!).
The alterations lady doesn’t speak much (if any) English. So it’s hard to communicate with her. FYI.
Go here for dry cleaning but NOT for alterations.

The best cleaners I’ve used in LA. Friendly staff and good dry cleaning at a reasonable price. My only complaint is that they lost 2 sets of removable buttons from two blouses I took there to clean. Make sure you remove yours and take them home with you! They tried to find them but unfortunately couldn’t. Other than that I would highly recommend them. I haven’t tried their alteration services.

I have been coming here for years and the service and quality of work is top notch. They also do alterations here and it’s a great part of the neighborhood. The owners are super friendly and always remember me. There is street parking and also a passenger loading spot on the side of the building.

if you’re looking for cleaners who value their
customers and their clothing — then don’t go to poppy’s.
4 months ago they lost my favorite $ 200 neiman marcus
cashmere sweater. it was one of a kind and not replaceable.
after a month, they offered me $ 100 — for a $ 200 sweater. i don’t accept after 4 months of haggling and phone calls, the owner finally came up with $ 132 even though i gave
her a receipt for another sweater i bought that came to $ 150.
i’ve called at least a dozen times over a 4 month period.
i collected the $ 132 to end the fiasco and then the owner told me not to bring my cleaning there anymore. as if i was going to. by the way, i’ve been a regular customer there for 3 years!!! so much for poppy’s customer service. although i must say the girls who work there are very nice.

Professional. Good hours. Friendly. Very reasonably priced compared to other dry cleaners. Reliable. Amazing! Wish I still lived nearby…
(For dry cleaning only, not alterations)

Been using this dry cleaning service for almost 20 years and always with good results. I’ve found I can trust them with the most delicate pieces. They’ve been great at removing a variety of spots. They have yet to disappoint me.
Service is always friendly and quick.

Excellent service! Very friendly, and my clothes come out looking great, both laundered shirts and dry cleaned clothes. They’ve done some excellent alterations for me. Really old-​fashioned excellence.

Been using them for years. Very reliable service with reasonable prices.

I love this dry cleaners for its good value and friendly service! Moved downtown from this area in 2008 and am still bringing my dry cleaning out to Poppy, which should tell you something. I tried dry cleaners in my new neighborhood close to work and close to home, but none of them gave me the same satisfaction as coming here. The woman remembers my name no matter how long it’s been between trips, and I’m always pleasantly surprised when they tell me how much I owe. I’m a loyal customer and highly recommend it.

Decently cheap dry cleaning and alteration services, but the customer service isn’t as good. They aren’t very friendly and don’t speak English. Which, normally I don’t mind except when they are altering an expensive dress that they totally messed up on because they misunderstood what I had requested and never bothered to call and ask me.
Bitter party of one!!!

so this is now my 2^nd Unilocal review, and i am determined to review services before restaurants and clubs, as i believe attention to the former is sorely lacking by my fellow Unilocalers.
so poppy’s is my neighborhood dry cleaners, and they’re great! prices are totally reasonable. i get my clothes dry cleaned, my shirts laundered, and my jeans altered here.
PROS: nice folks. very professional. open til 7pm during the week (close at 5pm on saturdays and closed on sundays). the quality of the cleaning is really good. and i’ve never had any issues with damaged clothing that i’ve had at other cleaners. their order entry system is automated, which is a bonus — i’m not exactly sure why i feel better about this than say a handwritten ticket, but i do. and last, but certainly not least, the owners know i’m korean and they place absolutely zero expectations on me to speak korean with them.
CONS: as robin mentioned, the parking situation sucks. i always just walk there so not an issue for me, but if one was to drive, it’d definitely be a pain in the ass. also, their little changing area for changing into clothes to be altered is a little sketch. a little draft of wind was all it would take to blow open the curtain and expose all of 3^rd street to me standing half nekid in my dinosaur undies.

I love this mom and pop shop dry cleaner! They are super friendly and make an effort to actually remember your name. The lady who always is there also does a great job with alterations (I have brought in half of my wardrobe).
The prices are pretty reasonable: I brought in three shirts for dry cleaning, one for alterations, and two pairs of jeans, and the price came out to $ 23 or so.
My only caveats with the place are a) the lack of parking and b) that they are not open on Sundays.
