Laundry + Internet, does it exist?

[viellen]

It didn't surprise me when I woke up this morning to find that the one washer and dryer in our four family house is occupied. This, however, does not help when I have only one day to get three or four loads done. I'm turning to you, teh awesome davis_square community, for advice.

Is there a laundry mat in Davis, Union, Winter Hill, or anything relatively close to those areas that also has free/cheap wireless or a laundry mat that is next to a coffee shop/restaurant/shop of some kind where I can sit that has wireless? For the subjective question of the day, do you think I'll have a chance in hell of getting machines there on a Saturday afternoon?

Much thanks!

Teele Square (up Holland St from Davis) has a laundromat, and I can't be 100% certain as I don't use it, but I think it said it has wireless. There's also a cafe next to it called i-Cafe. The cafe is a little weird since it's in a basement and doesn't have any windows, but I think they have free wireless. There's another cafe too, Soleil cafe, but their hours aren't that long so I don't know much about it.

The laundromat seems to have good reviews on Yelp:

Stay away from Kee Kar Laui chinese food though. It's bad.

Awesome. Thanks for the recommendation--and the chinese food warning. :)

I-Cafe has good food and free wireless - if they're open (hours are not always as posted). Soleil Cafe is open until 4, and has paid wireless, but you can usually (*cough*) pick up a free signal from somewhere.

If the laundromat right in Teele is really packed, you can go a couple blocks up Broadway towards Arlington and use Kirkland Cleaners (formerly Clarendon Laundromat). No wireless, but a 5 minute walk to Soleil Cafe, and usually pretty quiet on a beautiful day.

Upon further checking, there seems to be two laundromats that say they're in Teele Square, but one is actually a couple blocks away. The Yelp link goes to the one at 1244 Broadway, which dosn't have much next to it, and I'm not sure if they have wireless.

There's another one at 1144 Broadway, and this is the one that's directly at the Teele Square intersection. It has i-Cafe and Soleil Cafe next to it.
