Soapy Suds Laundromat

Clean, nice laundromat with new machines. The reason for the 2 stars is the quarter machine ate my $ 20 bill, then went out of service. I called their phone number, but no one answered and there was no voicemail… Their sites says full time attendant, but it doesn’t look like there’s one.
Updated: the owner came by (really nice guy!) and gave me a refund.

The is a small laundromat seems clean enough, free wifi, no TV but good 80’s music playing. Close enough you can pop into Ralph’s or grab some lunch/​dinner. It’s a touch more expensive than the one further down the street, which is expected since it’s in a shopping center with more to do than sit around.
Single load $ 3.00
Three load machine $ 4.75
Six load machine $ 7.00
Dryer $ 0.25 per 8 min of dry time. I swear others at double the time for the same price. :-/​
Also. After my wash. The clothes came out smelling kinda like dirty water! It was really strange.

I’ve done A LOT of laundry as a college student in SB and this place is one of the best I’ve been to. It’s located in the same shopping center as Ralph’s so albeit it’s not the most glamorous laundromat, it gets the job done.
$ 2.50 for one load’s worth of detergent (Bounce, Tide, etc.)
$ 2.50/$ 4.50/$ 6.25 per wash. Yep! Tiered system in case you have more vs. less laundry. I used the $ 2.50 wash because I had a teeny weeny load and it took 30 minutes.(laugh all you want).
$ 0.50 for the first 10 minutes, then $ 0.25 for every 5 minutes thereafter for the dryer.
They have both front load and top load washers (wait I didn’t think the second one still existed), and front load dryers. Your typical change machine and single use detergent — if you’re too lazy to cross the parking lot and buy some.

Sally Spork (SB foodie and local) reviews Soapy Suds Laundromat
Okay I’ve never left a review for a laundry mat, so I can cross this off my bucket list, here it is:
Atmosphere:
Good sized facility located in a small strip mall. Great location next to Ralphs, a mexican café and a music store. Clean and spacious. A big plus is there are a lot of windows that do not face the midday sun. While it can get toasty in there, not feeling like you are in a hot house is a very good thing.
Ownership/​service: the man who manages it is very present. At first it felt a bit like he was underfoot: but he helped me replace the rickety cart I had and mention they have detergent if needed. Pleasant and friendly, he seems to know all the folks that frequent the place.
Summary: Yes, I would go back. The managers are present (of course I wouldn’t leave my laundry unattended) but overall a pleasant spot to clean laundry.
