Ten Toes Coffee House & Laundry

The storefront on Gladstone Avenue wears a bright yellow sign, identifiable by the oversized cartoon feet painted near the entrance. Ten Toes Coffee House and Laundry operates as a hybrid space where residents bring their laundry to wash while drinking lattes. The business opened in nineteen ninety-eight to serve a neighborhood that lacked both a public laundromat and a central meeting spot. People sit at the wooden tables waiting for their cycles to finish, watching the suds spin behind the glass.
