From first contact to final fitting, Rhonda and Surinder delivered an impeccable experience. The frame selection at Aperture is great, with thoughtful designs made from excellent materials. They understand that investing in eyeglasses can be a big decision and created a relaxed atmosphere that allowed me the space and time to feel confident with my selection. When it came to fitting, I could tell I was in expert hands - phew! Last but not least, the tea was such a lovely touch, and delicious, too. I would absolutely return for another pair of specs.
My partner went to Aperture Optix and stayed for two hours. This is unheard of in my mind. There can't be that many options to choose from. Boy was I wrong. I went to get a pair of reading glasses. They brought out so many unique and well crafted frames. They were super helpful willing to pop lenses out so I could try them for my needs. I ended up buying two pairs of sun glasses and one pair of readers. I couldn't say no because they all looked so good.
You walk in and are immediately greeted and offered tea, water, or sparkling water. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, not like a typical glasses shop. You sit at a large table with a mirror. I was open to any style they recommended trying and would decide among them. I found three pairs that were so beautiful. I couldn't resist. When I picked them up I deeply appreciated the attention to detail and making necessary adjustments to ensure they were perfect.
The quality and workmanship of the glasses are superior. The customer service is A1. I would definitely recommend them and would come back in the future for other glasses.
I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Aperture Optix! The frame collection is so unique, and their knowledge is unmatched. I bought a pair of sunglasses that I absolutely loved. They were patient in adjusting them perfectly to my uneven ears, and when I lost these beloved frames they ordered me another pair. When the frames arrived, I went in for another extended adjustment session. We drank tea and had a nice chat. I look forward to my next visit!
Amazing shop, with incredibly helpful and kind staff. Worked with me to find sunglasses matching my preferred style and taste. Made micro adjustments to help the glasses fit my unique face/ear dimensions. Could not recommend this place more.
Cherry on top is the vibe of the place. Warm and welcoming with a modern twist.
Aperture is hands-down the best glasses shop / optician I've ever been to. The experience of picking out new frames is fantastic -- they have *thousands* of frames and did an amazing job of finding me really unique, stylish frames. To be honest, I wound up with frames that are quite different from what I expected to like, and couldn't be happier!
The experience was so much fun that we went back a couple weeks later so my wife could get new frames too!
The folks there are absolutely wonderful - every time I'm in Temescal I stop in to say hi, and it's always a delight.
I can't recommend them highly enough. I'll be back as soon as I can justify more glasses!
I had an amazing experience at this boutique. The frames here are as unique as the store itself - definitely not the cookie-cutter options you'd find at chain eyewear stores. My glasses feel truly one of a kind. The personalized fitting was top-notch, and the whole space is just a vibe. From the decor and furniture to the overall energy, it's clear a lot of thought went into creating a welcoming atmosphere. Rhonda was super helpful, and my wife says Surinder is the GOAT - she's absolutely right. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for something special.
I bought a new pair of glasses at Aperture Optix after my long-suffering frames were damaged in a bike accident. I had been wearing broken frames for several months, as numerous visits to the usual suspects of eyeglass shops left me unenthused. All the frames looked exactly the same, dull, and felt way overpriced for what you were getting.
That all changed at Aperture Optix. Everything about the process was excellent. They have a genuinely unique and hand-curated selection. And a wonderful process where you are guided by genuine experts to help find the right frames for your face. I recommend taking the approach I did and letting them know you are open to all frames and shapes, that I was not necessarily looking for something similar to my past frame. That will give you the best experience as you will get to see yourself in frames you wouldn't instinctively grab and it helps break the bias for the frame shape you have become habituated to by staring at it in the mirror for the past X years.
I will be returning here for all future eyeglasses and sunglasses.
I had a really wonderful experience with Elizabeth here. I had been having a hard time finding glasses because I have a narrow face... and am very picky :) I chatted with Elizabeth and she pulled out her rolling drawers full of glasses. She observed the color palette of my clothing, asked me about my profession, and pulled out the perfect pair. She showed me many different options to make sure I was sure -- there were so many amazing frames! Local designers, international brands. It ruined me for any other glasses shop. Such a cool experience!
