This has always been the place where I've had my suits dry cleaned, because they always manage to do a great job and get my suits back to me as if they were brand new. My Black Suit needed to get dry cleaned before I went to Long Island for my friend's engagement ceremony (he was wearing navy, and we didn't want to match). I felt the cost was very reasonable, and my clothes were actually ready a day earlier than I was initially quoted.
I've wound up losing a bit of weight, so my suits are a little bit "David Byrne" on me, and am likely going here to get them tailored

They managed to fit me in for a last minute cleaning. I can't thank the ladies that run the place enough. They have my business for as long as I'm in Buffalo!

The quality of their dry cleaning is 5 stars. They are quite pricy compared to other dry cleaners (in my opinion). The man who was working when I dropped off and picked up my clothes was very abrupt (very fast one word answers/questions) and not very friendly.
