    And fyi, if you want to drink EtOH you need to sit inside or outside along the windows, but not next to the street/parket. Nice not to tell our friend until after she's sitting outside . . .

    Dope eats and a few shots at immortality makes BW the baddest laundromat in this town! They've got Road Show, South Park, & Fish Tales tables, all fer 50¢ a play! You've got tha quarters already!

    Homely and delicious food, but the wifi never works. If you want great coffee and a place to get things done, head to Radius across the road.

    Fish and chips are surprisingly good. And you can bring your dog to do laundry. Come for brunch on a sunny day, sit outside to eat and feel productive while doing laundry!

    Ever-vigilant doufus employees + do-gooder customers are seriously devoted to their mission of sniffing out junkies and loiterers! Ends up being worse than if the place were a shooting gallery. enjoy!

    Finally, a laundromat that pays attention to basic human comforts. It's clean, cozy, not overpriced, and the cafe in front is a huge plus.

    Burger was great, they play excellent music (LedZeppelin!) and there's a laundry next to it. A win :)

    wifi was up and down like a pogo stick on this visit. wouldn't come here to work if I was on a tight deadline. espresso was good, though, and I line the vibe I the space and all the natural light.

    By far the cleanest option if we have some laundry to do in SOMA. Go to vive la tarte first and wait with a treat! 😋

    Best laundromat in San Francisco. Good food as well. Random selection on open mic nights for entertainment. Check out the wall to wall quotes in the bathroom.

    Washing options are correct and you can grab you breakfast in the 22 minutes you wait for your clothes:)

    Comedy open mic here is nice. The host is super supportive and it's all pretty low key.

    Come here between 4 and 7pm to do laundry. You will get $1 off all menu items, which means free pbr beer.

    They have coffee, tea, slushies, and beer. Not really a laundry place

    Sad, no pancakes or french toast after after 11am. Had the Brain on Drugs, egg sandwich - love the nod to the old school PSA . . . but it's an over easy egg, not scrambled. :/

    Get something to eat before you start laundry here, if you're vegan. Or get some coffee to curb your appetite.

    New washers are a huge improvement. Always a fun evening for laundry night. Some performances are awkward, but some guy just killed it with a poetry slam history of rap.

    Try the Breakfast Sandwich - A San Francisco treat. Ask for the version with Canadian bacon and tapatio sauce.

    went to wash my sheets and blew $10 on washing and drying. overall brainwash is a cool place because of the cafe, but washing and drying seem pretty expensive to me.

    Brain on Drugs is easily one of the best Breakfast Sandwiches that I've ever had.

    Yes, they serve million degree coffee in pint glasses. Tip: the thermal sleeves fit the glassware as well as the to-go cups!

    Employee at brainwash hard at work. Feet up and consistently on cellphone. When approached about broken machines they respond with rudeness.
