"I had no passion at all to wash clothes, but I said, 'Why not explore that?' So, I started to look around and visited hundreds of laundromats," he said."
"I quickly realized that a lot of these places were dirty and not technology-enabled. So I saw a real opportunity to make a difference."
"I wanted a roaster in Brooklyn, so I talked to a lot of people in the coffee industry, and Loveless stood out to me," he said."
Jean-Roch Dumas transformed a Brooklyn Heights laundromat into Laundry and Latte, a laundromat–coffee shop hybrid that frames laundry as a community ritual. Dumas left a 20-year management consulting career to pursue a tangible business with client interaction. He found many laundromats dirty and lacking technology and renovated a location three blocks from his home. Laundry and Latte opened in March, added a coffee counter in May, and operates daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Dumas partnered with Bushwick roaster Loveless Coffees to source beans and emphasizes a clean, modern, neighborhood-focused experience.
