The staff here are absolute legends. They’ll hand you a chunky black pair and say, “These give you ‘authority vibes’.” Then they’ll pass you wire rims and add, “Or these say ‘I do gentle yoga.’” No pushy sales, just genuine banter.

The Wait: A Mini-Life Pause (And Free Caffeine)
If you need to wait for your new lenses, don’t despair. The waiting area has proper chairs—not those cruel plastic ones designed to make you leave.
