Wash Up, the very first café-laverie - Definitely closed

When a laundromat meets the warm atmosphere of a café... That's what Wash Up offers, Paris' very first eco-responsible café-laverie, located just a stone's throw from Bastille, inviting you to do your laundry in a cosy spot while sipping a coffee with a good book.

When the chore of washing clothes is no longer a chore... Nestled in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, near the Place de la Bastille (just off the "Chemin Vert" metro station), Wash Up welcomes you to its warm, ethical and eco-friendly laundromat, where you can wash your clothes in good spirits! But don't think that Wash Up is just a launderette... Not at all! It's also a café offering a wide range of hot beverages at any time of day... Matcha, Chaï Latte, Steamer, Iced coffee, Milkshake, Golden latte... Enough to keep you warm (or cool, depending on what you choose) while you wait for your laundry to finish.

As for the washing machines, there are ten of them, all state-of-the-art and virtually silent. No laundry? Don't panic: the owners, Shadé and Mathilda, offer you their own, homemade with Marseille soap. And for those in a hurry? Here too, you can drop off your laundry and pick it up later, clean and folded. Everything is done to make your life easier!

The menu is packed with sweet and savoury treats, including vegan empanadas, gratin dauphinois, paninis, cupcakes, brownies and cookies. The menu is organic, 100% plant-based, and changes fairly regularly according to new arrivals and the two young owners' desire to cook. Gluten-free friends are also welcome, as dishes are also made to order. For those with a sweet tooth, a vegetarian brunch is offered every Sunday.

And as if the café and laundry weren't enough, Wash Up regularly organizes stand-up evenings, the Lavery Tour, for all fans of comedy shows. In short, one of the must-visit spots in the 11th arrondissement. Shall we do some laundry, friends?
