Going here is like being part of a Portlandia skit. It’s all style and no substance. Employees don’t seem to communicate with each other, so you’ll get one answer from someone and then another will tell you that it’s wrong. They’ll look at you like you’re the crazy one and talk to you like they’re annoyed by you inconveniencing them by stopping in. They also still require appointments for everything which is honestly absurd to me for a place that I’ve never seen have more than 3 customers at a time. They broke a pair of glasses while replacing the lenses and blamed it on them being “old” (they were 2 years old and from this store) and have made every single subsequent situation so much more bizarre than it needs to be. Maybe cool it with how much time is spent curating the store, packaging roses, and making cookies, and actually train your staff in customer service and communicating with each other. For the cost of what you’re selling, they should at least be professional with customers.

Spyhouse coffee invites you across the street. Fresh streets pass by the intersection and Temple Israel's clean construction and large pillars are seen kitty corner from the entrance. Now turn around and close the door and colorful displays, frames and mirrors invite you in. Staff are great to work with. You will look forward to your next visit!
So grateful I went to the Spectacle Shoppe to get my frames adjusted. I had taken them to other optical stores and wound up with super uncomfortable frames which gave me a headache. Other optometrists told me they couldn't do much to help and just bent the very backs of the glasses arms to squeeze my head. I did not enjoy wearing my glasses. Joe at the Spectacle shoppe took one look at how they fit on my head then adjusted them so they not only fit well and don't slide, but they are also so comfortable I barely feel them when they are on. He actually made them follow the contours of my head instead of just squeezing my skull. Do yourself a favor and get your glasses needs taken care of here, I am so glad that I did! Will not be going anywhere else in the future. Thanks Joe!
I was so pleased I was able to get in for same day sunglass repair-This shoppe is clean and has amazing style. All the staff I encountered were friendly and I recommend giving them your business! Thank you for your kindness and excellent customer service 😎😎😎
Hands down, the best place ever to keep my terrible eyes in good health (love the doc) and get one-on-one help finding a flattering frame. For most of my life I've lowkey hated every pair of glasses I've had... then started coming here and now have three pairs of glasses I love!
