Soap Bar Cafe

This place literally feels like a life hack. Living in a small apartment with very limited drying space makes washing sheets/bulky items difficult at best - not to mention winter pushing out drying times and a 10-year-old washing machine that sporadically refuses to finish a cycle... Soap Bar is my saviour - they accept card payment, have a massive 27kg washing machine and are very reasonably priced! You can even get a coffee while you wait! Don't waste your precious time and energy battling the washing gods, just go to Soap Bar!

Edit: Customer service is great and calling the helpline can really help you out in a pinch. Minus one star however because pinches do happen, for instance: There is no security on the machines whatsoever. No verification process or password lock system before use, for collection etc (which I have even seen in student dorm laundromats). I paid for 2 dryers - the payment machine said both were "clear" and ready and it looked as such - and when I turned around to load my wet clothes someone else had loaded their laundry into the second one and hit start 😥 If you come here you'd be better off either coming before 3pm where there are staff around to address such concerns or come with another person to guard a machine while you pay for it. The massive saving grace though is that the hotline is quick to answer the phone and solve such issues for you (i.e. such as extending the timer on the first one (into which you were forced to dump a massive load of laundry) for you so it'll all actually dry).

Laundry with excellent and well kept facilities, and a little cafe. Plenty of seating, power points for charging your devices, and some unique local produce (coffee, tea, some ceramics) for sale. Washers/dryers are good, various sizes, and connected to a smart system that can notify you by text when your laundry is finished. Payment by card available, and free laundry powder.

First time getting to utilise this space ! My partner & I had a wonderful experience. Clean, reasonably priced, cosy, overall great vibe. We had food, of course, from the lovely couple responsible for the delicious produce available and freshly made. Thank you for the service this far. So excited for this weeks laundry day. Yay!
