A family shop on Coral Way
Noah Levy opened this shop in 1994 with one used press, a counter he bought from a bakery that was closing down, and a loan from his brother-in-law that took six years to pay back. He knew almost nothing about dry cleaning. He learned from the man who sold him the press, and from a lot of ruined shirts that he paid for out of his own pocket.
The shop today
- Who you’ll see
- Thirty-some years later, it’s still a family business. Noah’s son Danny runs the front counter most days and knows a lot of you by name. Marisol, Danny’s wife, does all the alterations in the back, and she’s the one to talk to about hems, zippers, and anything that doesn’t fit the way it should. Noah still comes in on Saturday mornings, mostly to drink coffee and tell customers the neighborhood used to be quieter.
- How we clean
- In 2012 we stopped using perc, the older solvent most cleaners used for decades, and switched to a gentler hydrocarbon process. It’s easier on fabric and easier on the people who work here, and your clothes won’t come back with that chemical smell.
- What we’re after
- We aren’t the cheapest cleaner in Miami. Your clothes come back clean and pressed, and we’d like to see you again.
- When to come by
- Drop off and pick up any time we’re open. Same-day if you drop off before 9 am and pick up after 5 pm, Monday through Friday, for regular dry cleaning and shirts.
Monday to Friday 7 am – 7 pm Saturday 8 am – 5 pm Sunday Closed
