“I have a family baptism dress that is nearly 100 years old. I wanted to have it cleaned to baptize my own daughter, but it was horribly stained. I went to 4 different cleaners who told me it couldn't be saved. Then I looked online and found Sonia's, specifically Stephanie. She looked at my garment thoughtfully and took her time explaining what she could try and also the potential damage that could be done. She made sure I was very well informed before agreeing to try. Well, she worked her magic!
The dress is beautifully restored and my daughter got to wear a piece of family history and pride thanks to Stephanie. Highly recommend Sonia's, they’re the best!“

“Sam at Mulberry's is absolutely wonderful! He is always warm, friendly, and genuinely kind. He have such a positive attitude and always make the laundry experience enjoyable. Not only Sam is professional and helpful, but he is a pleasure to chat with—kind, engaging, and always ready with a smile. It's rare to come across someone who makes customer feel so valued and comfortable. Sam's outstanding customer service and friendly personality is very appreciative. Highly recommended. Always stay kind and positive Sam!“

“For such a small, cramped box of a space, Geary Shoe Repair handles a surprisingly large volume of business. No frills, just rapid, reliable, high-quality workmanship! I brought in two pairs of boots that needed lifts on the heels and expected to wait until the following week to pick them up, but the pleasant shop manager took them and had the job done then and there, while I waited. She even offered a valuable tip about how to avoid the expense of replacing entire heel coverings when they become worn down. Bring a pair of shoes to Geary Shoe Repair, and she will probably share the secret with you, too!“

“Fantastic cleaners, great and quick service. Friendly owner. Really great neighborhood dry cleaners also great for alterations“

“Have been a customer of Ma’s for more than 25 years and everyone in the shop is fantastic! They have made patterns for dresses, hemmed complicated knitwear, helped design and create curtains I saw in Architectural Digest, made pillow covers from antique (very precious) wool, and always with a smile. Love Ma’s.“

“I have a wedding out of state and my theee year old needed some measurements. The gentleman was so accommodating and kind. If I ever need alterations or my partner needs a suit, this is the only place I would go.“

“Mariam did an incredible job job replacing specially designed buttons for my reversible leather coat. The stitching for buttons required special “knot spacing” technique to prevent pressure on the buttons, something Mariam was well versed in. She did a perfect job, and clearly very knowledgeable About specialty tailoring techniques, top of class in her craft.“

“OG went crazy on my acne jeans and jacket. She did her thang and price was very reasonable. Highly recommend“

“Can’t say enough positive things about the service and quality of workmanship. My son was getting married and insisted on wearing his grandfather’s suit which was entirely too large for him. We went on vacation to Portugal and I found the perfect blue suit but he refused. We found this establishment on a google search and how fortunate we were. I flew the suit from Florida to San Francisco knowing the challenges he would face and the potential for the jacket to be a total disaster as it was more than 2 sizes too big. WOW is all I can say. I cried when he put it on, the fit and care that went into this project was phenomenal. Did I mention he got a custom shirt as well. Professional - compassionate - timely and very easy to work with. The suit in the end looked like it was custom made for him. Very impressive. Thank you for making his wedding day dream come true. I was one happy mom.“

“Professional and timely services with very reasonable pricing. Lily did a great job patching up a hole in my shirt. I've had dry cleaning here done too and am happy with results. Definitely my go-to business for dry cleaning, tailoring, and mending.“

“She is always helpful and I trust her with my alterations and dry cleaning! I would recommend coming here for alterations and dry cleaning.“

“Very fast, professional and nice. I got a great service and washed & folded clothes as requested.“

“I had my wedding dress hanging behind my room door, and unfortunately, one of my dogs peed on it. I didn't notice the stain until a few days later and was worried it wouldn't come out. There were also a few red wine drops on the dress.

Amazingly, not only was the pee stain removed, but the red wine and dirt on the hem were completely gone. I was blown away; it looked brand new.

Ocean Dry Cleaning is reasonably priced and I would recommend them to anyone needing their wedding dress cleaned.“

“Best tailor in SF. And Customer service is old school small town good, not just rare in SF but rare anywhere anymore. Highly recommend!“

“Olga is amazing! She was a recommended tailor from Blue Sky Bridal where I bought my dress. Her pricing was reasonable and she was prompt to respond. Her studio is beautiful! And she is so thorough in her notes & sizing. She added a color coded bustle and also made my veil in matching fabric that was perfect. She had everything done according to our timeline and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!“

“Agnes, Conrad and sometimes Wonderkid Dillon are a neighborhood treasure! Baldwin is just as amazing. Not only are they an outstanding cleaners, but they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and they’ve become like family to us in our neighborhood. We are so lucky to have them.“
