Elite Optique

I was running past here one day in the summer and they had a table of sunglasses outside because they were having a sale. Even though I didn’t need a new pair of shades, they were all so beautiful that I couldn’t resist stopping. I bought a gorgeous pair of aviators, but decided a couple of days later that I would have preferred a different pair. I called the guy who sold them to me and he said he would exchange them no problem. I went back and got a very glamorous pair of Balenciagas. Much more my speed. I am only on here writing this because, unfortunately, I lost those frames the other day, and went on Unilocal to find the place so I could go back to get another pair. His selection is that unique. Great guy, great selection of frames.

and i had a fantastic wonderful time. looking at so many opinion of version wear. it was pretty awesome looking at the difference of the frame which made the style of each version wear unique look. i say hey come around and choose what you like to look pretty at elite optique.

My eyesight is terrible and has been for a very long time. I’m a 25 year-​old man and have been wearing glasses since Kindergarten… Kindergarten. Needless to say glasses are a huge part of my life. There’s not a single waking moment I spend without them on my face, unless I’m showering. So choosing a new pair of glasses, feels as though I am choosing how I will look for the next 12 months (or more) of my life. Over the years I’ve grown pretty neurotic and anal about it. I JUST HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT PAIR!!! In fact, on the day that I visited Elite Optique, I visited 10 other eyeglasses boutiques. I made a day trip of it, shopping in SoHo, Williamsburg, Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, and a variety of stores in the downtown Brooklyn area. The week prior, I visited a few stores in Queens, and even Center City Philadelphia, where I traveled for a job-​related endeavor (I know… I’m crazy… But I just got to find the right pair).
After scouring through store after store, and leaving disappointed and frustrated, I finally stumbled upon Elite Optique, and it was THE MOST SATISFYING PURCHASING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD, WITH REGARD TO EYEGLASSES. Their selection was amazing, and the service was even better. Nathaniel, the store manager, listened to my very specific interests, and helped me pick out the perfect pair, which he special ordered, for the right size and color. He was knowledgeable, patient and relatable, and it made my shopping experience all the more enjoyable.
Nathaniel also gave me a FANTASTIC DEAL ON LENSES. Given my high prescription, he advised me on the appropriate lens index, and offered a (substantially) reduced price. I easily spent $ 100 less than what I usually pay, for the nicest pair of glasses I have ever owned. Lastly, Nathaniel went out of his way to ship the glasses to me in Philadelphia, where I wound up moving for work. Shipping, was on the house.
This was truly a great experience, and one that I will not soon forget. I would absolutely recommend Elite Optique to anyone who appreciates fine eyewear and I plan on returning to NY for future purchases.
Thanks again Nate!!! See ya for my next purchase.
— Signed, a very difficult and satisfied customer.

So you tried on 15 pair of glasses at Sol Mascot and weren’t in love. Head around the corner to see Nathaniel at Elite. He has a really nice selection of some really good brands including some really cool hi– end brands I’d never heard of.
I found some B and P frames that were perfect for me. Great service — quick turn around on my lenses. As a first time glasses wearer, when I first started shopping around I had no idea that glasses could be so expensive. Elite’s pricing is really fair comparatively for both the frames and the lens.
So good to have a unique alternative to shop glasses in the neighborhood.
Great Store!

This shop has a nice selection of high quality frames. The owner, Nathaniel, is very open and honest. He gives excellent guidance regarding which frames work best for your face (and which don’t work as well, which can be as or more helpful!).
I just received my glasses this past Saturday and have already gotten several compliments. I’m very happy with my frames and with how my prescription turned out.
The prices are very fair and I’d say a good deal compared to what the cost would be in Manhattan.
Based on décor, this store is easy to pass by, but it contains great products for reasonable prices. It’s well worth your time to stop in!

My new favorite optics spot in this cool, up and coming neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Great selection of glasses and brands you can’t find just anywhere.
Unique shades will keep you occupied for some time — you can’t walk away without trying everything on. Trying… and then buying!
Must point out the attentive and knowledgeable staff. Great customer service.
A+

Walked by, walked in, got new glasses, very happy:))))
Handsome Nathaniel was so patient with me, I probably tried hundred glasses on, he provided all the info on designers and brands, gave me options, called a company to see if they could customize glasses for me and gave discount for ones I fell in love with. It is a great place to get the one glasses that you will love. Thank you:)))))

I highly recommend Elite Optique get your pair of glasses there today. Between the presentation, great selection and the amazing service I am beyond speechless. I do not look forward to go glass shopping but after my experience at Elite Optique I enjoyed it greatly and am only coming here to all of my glasses in the future. Thank you so much I love my new glasses!!!

Excellent selection and extremely helpful staff. Shopping for glasses is usually so time consuming so it was nice not feeling rushed. They were also able to order and model and color combination I wanted.

I don’t ever write Unilocal reviews, but after my recent experience at Elite Optique, I felt compelled to.
The optician Nathaniel was incredibly friendly, down-​to-​earth, and inviting, without trying to push any sales on you. He truly cares about helping you find a pair of glasses that you like and that best fit you. He had great recommendations that made the process much less overwhelming and his selection was insanely good (particularly of his Barton Perreira frames)! It was a difficult decision ultimately because there were about 5 pairs that all looked great. I’ve been to glasses stores around both Los Angeles and NYC (trying to find the right pair), and none of them have frames like these – classy, cool, rare, both modern/​timeless, with high-​quality materials and very reasonable prices.
The store sports boutique frames at great deals (the higher end will set you back $ 300-​$ 400 with lenses included, depending on the various deals he is offering). This isn’t Warby Parker or Lenscrafters (which overcharge for flimsier products tagged with brand names), so the fit and materials used are much sturdier and more seamlessly stylish. He has an incredible selection and waited patiently for me to try on frames about a hundred times before I could decide, and even kept throwing in new suggestions. Nathaniel was very patient and fun to chat with during the process, and since I had to fly back to LA that night, he even offered to ship the finished frames to me free of charge!
The store is a welcome addition to the Cobble Hill neighborhood, and if you’re looking for unique frames made with quality materials, this is absolutely the place to go. Support local businesses!

I recently purchased a pair of prescription glasses from Elite Optique. The store owner was very helpful and patient as I literally went around trying on all the glasses in the store. I finally settled on a pair of Barton Perreira glasses. The owner told me the glasses will be ready in a few days. I came back and they were ready as promised. I love the glasses I got and will be coming back for some sunglasses as well. The selection there is to die for.

Highly recommend, beautiful shop with a unique collection of brands (especially for Brooklyn). Nathaniel was really friendly with no pressure and hooked up a pair of Barton Perreiras for a price that was very comparable to those on the internet.
Thanks!

Elite Optique has the most exclusive DITA collection i have ever seen, plus much more. The Gentlemen that works there went above and beyond to help me find the glasses i have always wanted for a unbeatable price. Thank you Elite!!!
