Warby Parker

awkward staff and poor lighting. The frames all seemed far too large for my face. Not really an inviting space and the staff did not really seem to care about discussing different frame options; along the lines of the sad stereotype of a blasé hipster.

I stopped by last weekend to upgrade my sunglasses game as my el cheapo specs had started to leave disturbing black smudges on my face — I looked like a raccoon. Service was excellent right off the bat and the store is attractively laid out. Relatively quickly we narrowed it down to my chosen pair, a new one was gotten from the back and I was out the door pleased with my purchase. While I did not get a prescription pair, I have ordered from Warby Parker in the past and been pleased. The store really simplifies everything by letting you try all the available styles and widths.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. definitely not trying to rip you off and seem to want the best for you. very knowledgable about the frames as well. the selection of frames is really nice because there’s a lot of options but it’s not overwhelming. it’s super affordable for the quality of frames, definitely look here if you want to look cute but not hurt your bank account.

I recommend Warby Parker to anyone who wears glasses, or even if you need to purchase them for someone in your life! Warby Parker is conveniently located uptown on Magazine.
I am a glasses junky! Some women buy shoes, I buy glasses! I was recommended to give Warby a try by a good friend. At first I was slightly skeptical of how the quality of the glasses would be since you can get both frames and lenses for just 99 bucks (which is an amazing steal when you’ve been spending hundreds of dollars on ONE pair of glasses, for years)! So, for $ 99 I was worried I would get glasses that wouldn’t hold up… this was far from reality. (Some frames are more than $ 99, but not by much more!)
There’s a ginormous election of eyewear, both sunglasses and regular frames. Plastic frames, metal frames, color schemes and patterns, and shapes.
Make sure you have a current prescription because there is not an optometrist. Which is not a problem at all. My first time going in the store I was in the neighborhood and wanted to browse. I ended up finding two pairs of glasses I liked, but didn’t have my prescription on me. That was no problem! I placed my order and emailed a copy of my prescription when I got home!
Returns are super easy as well! I ordered a pair for a friend as a Christmas gift, but then changed my mind… easy enough I called and they refunded my order immediately, no questions asked!
They fit your glasses for you when you pick them up, and even if you need it after purchase. Also, when you pick your glasses up, there’s a studio in the back where you can get a picture taken in your new specs!!!
There’s an amazing online feature where you can get glasses sent to you for try on at home!
All in all, I will never purchase glasses elsewhere again!

I was a little skeptical about Warby Parker as I had some friends order from them online and while the styles were cute, I didn’t think they fit properly. But when we actually got a physical store, I figured there was no harm in checking it out.
I was greeted by a hipster (of course) but he actually was very helpful and I felt like he gave me honest opinions about the glasses I was trying on. After trying on a few pairs, I found a couple I liked and we went over everything so I could get them ordered. I didn’t realize that they just ship them to you when they are done. So that was a plus right there. The pricing is super reasonable as well. I always get the special lenses that are scratch resistant and what not and they are usually a gazillion dollars but I got two pairs for what I usually spend on one. Score!
When I received them, I was very happy. Great quality and they came in really nice sturdy cases. I would definitely head in here again the next time I need glasses.

Prompt service with knowledgeable staff. Portable electronic interfaces provided a seamless and timely experience. The abundant natural light in the store allows for a practical idea what your glasses will look like. The customer service interaction to help me bill my vision insurance was also seamless.

I had an awesome experience at Warby Parker. I walked in to get my first pair of prescription glasses not knowing what to expect at all. Gabriel (sp?!) came up to me as soon as I walked in and was extremely helpful for the entire process. He is really good at his job and made it quick and easy. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent! The employees here genuinely care about their clients and their eye-​concerns. Most certainly a breath of fresh air from those stuffy places like L. Crafters or EyeMas. that seem to impatiently push sales than wanting to get the best pair of glasses for their clients. These folks at Warby Parker are super friendly, fast, honest, efficient, and a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended!

Warby Parker is Professional, fast and efficient.
I took my glasses in to get fixed — and they have such a great selection —
the ladies were so helpful with helping me choose a style/​size for my face.
Hands down a great experience!
Thanks guys!

Awesome place! They have many frame selections for all face shape! Even thin or thick frames! The employees are so friendly! They greet you when you walk in and show you how they organize the frames. After about 15 mins of trying on frames, I found the one! Love that there are mirrors on each side of the shelf! Once I chose my frame, the checkout was fast and friendly! I forgot my script at home, but they said that it’s okay and that I can just email it! I’m excited for my glasses!
Now I feel like I need prescription sunglasses! My total came out a bit pricier than the $ 95 price tags. The frames I chose were $ 145 and extra for high index lenses since I’m so blind!!!

This morning I went in for my first eye exam in about four years (eek), and after spending over an hour trying on just about every pair of glasses at Costco, I finally realized that my former go-​to was just not gonna cut it this time around. I’d gone the «try at home» route with Warby Parker a couple of years ago, but didn’t like any of my picks. At the time it seemed like too big of a hassle to keep trying, so I gave up. But today on my way home from Costco, I suddenly remembered that a friend had told me about the new brick and mortar Warby Parker on Magazine Street. It seemed like it couldn’t hurt to give the shop a try, and I’m so glad I did.
The store is comfortably arranged, with lots of places to try on frames in the mirror without getting in anyone’s way. I love the way that the frames are all neatly labeled with their names as well as «wide», «medium», or «narrow» so you can pick a size that works best on your face. The customer service people are helpful without hovering too much or making you uncomfortable (one of my biggest pet peeves), and the sales process was quick and painless. I tried on all of the frames I liked, picked the two that looked the best, then told the customer service person. He measured my face, did some quick calculations to see where my eyes would be in relation to the lenses, got my address and payment info, and we were done. The entire visit took under 30 minutes, and I got two amazing pairs of glasses for under $ 200. Total win.

Cute frames! I came here with my friend today. This place reminds me of
only physically accessible. You come here, try on frames, give them your prescriptions, and they will make your glasses. There are no optometrist here to give exams. The prices of the frames are reasonable and the styles are cute!

Exam was not received because I was trying to do some comparative shopping. I was also interested in using the vision coverage on my health insurance. The selection of frames were more than affordable and attractive as well. However, I prefer to have one pair of glasses that encompasses several features such as lightweight, stylish, progressive lens, transition lens, anti-​glare treatment, and scratch resistance coating. The Warby Parker facility did not offer transition lens and would require my seeking another vendor to acquire this option for my eyeglasses and would thus factor into lengthening the time to complete the glasses for use. Therefore, I decided to not purchase glasses from Warby Parker, but to seek out a one-​stop operation that provides everything I require at one location.

I am a first time Warby Parker customer. My daughter recommended this brand to me and she was excited the store front was here in New Orleans. Upon entering the store, I was greeted kindly and Keshun was extremely pleasant and professional. She was knowledgeable and caring but not pushy. The selection is ample and very stylish even for a 50 year old who likes to stay up with the latest styles. I did have a problem with my methods of payments. There was a error that was immediately corrected by the customer service department with a apology. The store is stylish and I am happy I went. My glasses arrived earlier than the date given and I have no problem with them .The manager Sean was very kind as well ! Try them out and Smile !!!

Now this is an experience! The store has a great aesthetic appeal, with lots of natural light pouring in. Helpful with you’re checking yourself out to see which frames flatter the most!
Staff is friendly and attentive, although I needed a little space once I was taking time to make my decision. Far better than not being able to find help, though!
I got a cute pair of sunnies with birthday money from Mommy Dearest. Very happy with my purchase and I’m looking forward to finding an excuse to go back soon ;)
All their sun glasses are polarized.

Excellent eyeglass studio from the online discount site Warby Parker. They have all the frames that are online for you to come in and try on in person to get the right look. I was able to try on all of the frames and order what I need right in the store. You will need to bring your prescription with you to finalize your order or you can make a copy and send it to them online to begin crafting your frames and lenses. When you go in to pick them up you get a free portrait photo form their in-​store portrait studio to show off your new frames. Cant wait to get mine.

⁴⁄₅ affordable, fashionable, fun
I’m a fan. Been wearing WP for years (winston, everett, cass) and glad to see a store! I remember treking up along divis in SF to get to try them many years ago, and here it is in nola!
the team is helpful and it’s a bright space. all the home try-​ons are now available here for your immediate browsing. I’d have a geeky date and just play try on for an hour ;)
This isn’t a traditional «store» though — ie you can’t just pick up a pair and walk out. They’ll still have you do the whole bit pretty much online, so this is really just a place for you to do in person trying as opposed to having 5 pairs shipped to you at a time. As of opening day, they have floor staff and opticians at the ready for that extra opinion and support.
note: they won’t do your exam for you. you bring in an Rx and then they can take it from there.
