I’ve been a Warby Parker customer since before they had retail stores, and the service has always been excellent- until this visit. I came in for a minor adjustment on glasses I’d purchased a week earlier, and was helped by a sales associate who was excellent but an optician helped with measurements for where the lenses fit. The opticians attitude was noticeably different, both times. When I explained I needed an adjustment, he questioned why I hadn’t chosen the wide frame size, which felt like he was suggesting my glasses didn’t fit right. They did. I just needed a small tweak. He had me try on the wides but didn’t offer a mirror, so I couldn’t even evaluate them and just handed them back. He also skipped cleaning my glasses before returning them, which every other Warby location has done for me. The whole interaction felt rushed, like he wanted me out the door. To be clear, once the adjustments were made, my glasses fit great. This was an isolated experience with one employee, not a reflection of the brand overall- but disappointing given how consistently great my past visits have been.

I was taking a long walk today, passed Warby Parker, and decided to try again for a new pair of glasses. I’ve entered the stage of life where progressive lenses will help me see better… and everyone at the store took excellent care of me! Derek was incredibly helpful & knowledgeable with which frames would work best and why- and we arrived at a pair that look great. The team at this location is fantastic- and this will be my go-to for glasses & contacts from now on. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience! The staff were so friendly. Aiden was super helpful in helping me pick out the right pair of glasses. Which was much needed because they have a great selection of frames to choose from!
Love Warby Parker. Best place for eye exams, glasses and contacts if you prefer. Associates are very nice, helpful, tolerant and professional. Love 15th and Walnut location! Virtual try on of glasses is great! You get a chance to see how different styles look on you before going to their store. Hours are convenient. Center city location is easy to get to.
Been to many other Warby Parkers First time coming to this one for adjustment of nose pads The male worker behind the counter that was a bit more senior in age was so unhelpful and simply said “that happens it’s normal” I have had these glasses for years and only recently started having issues…. He didn’t even bother looking at my glasses until I insisted the notepads must have been pressed on and out of place He also didn’t even bother to ask or try to adjust the back of my glasses where it hooks on the ears to help it fit better on my nose After adjustment also did not clean my lens My lens had his fingerprints on it still…. Worst Warby Parker worker and store I have encountered
