The ultimate café experience for sneakerheads who love fresh brews, matcha, and even fresher kicks.

Sneaker culture has always been about more than just shoes—it’s a lifestyle. And what pairs better with a fresh set of kicks than a perfectly brewed cup of coffee or a refreshing matcha drink? At Sneaker Laundry, sneaker lovers can experience the best of both worlds: top-tier sneaker care and a café that serves up some of the finest drinks and treats in town. Whether you’re waiting for your sneakers to get cleaned or just looking for a cool place to chill, this spot is a must-visit.

More Than Just Sneaker Care—A Café Worth Visiting

At first glance, Sneaker Laundry may look like a sneaker restoration shop, but step inside, and you’ll find a cozy café space that’s just as much of a highlight. While they’re known for deep cleaning and restoring sneakers, regulars keep coming back for their incredible drinks and snacks—especially their signature matcha selections.

Here’s what you can find at the Sneaker Laundry Café:
Signature Matcha Drinks – If you love matcha, you’re in for a treat. Their menu features rich, high-quality matcha drinks, including the fan-favorite Matcha Cloud—a creamy, layered matcha latte with a silky texture and a perfect balance of sweetness. Whether you prefer it iced or hot, it’s a must-try.
Matcha Variations – Want to mix it up? Try their Matcha Espresso Fusion, which combines earthy matcha with a shot of espresso for a bold, energizing drink. Or go for the Matcha Honey Oat Latte, a smooth and slightly sweet take on classic matcha with oat milk and a touch of honey.
Specialty Coffees – High-quality beans sourced from top roasters ensure each cup is smooth, rich, and satisfying. Whether you prefer a classic latte, cappuccino, or cold brew, there’s something for every caffeine lover.
Artisanal Teas & Refreshers – Not a coffee person? No worries! Their menu includes flavorful herbal teas, fruity refreshers, and even bubble tea options for those who want a little extra sweetness.
Fresh Pastries & Light Bites – Need a snack? Grab a buttery croissant, a fresh-baked muffin, or a delicious sandwich to go with your drink. Perfect for those who want to relax and enjoy the shop’s atmosphere.

A Vibe That Matches the Culture

Walking into Sneaker Laundry feels like stepping into a modern sneaker boutique fused with a trendy café. The sleek interior, minimalist shelving stocked with sneaker care essentials, and the aroma of fresh coffee and matcha create an inviting atmosphere. You might even catch a live sneaker restoration in action while sipping on your drink, watching the staff carefully scrub, steam, and paint sneakers like an art form.

It’s also a community hub for sneaker lovers. Whether you're dropping off your shoes, grabbing a coffee, or just browsing, you’ll likely strike up a conversation with fellow sneaker enthusiasts about the latest releases, rare finds, or cleaning hacks.
