Welcome to Spex in the City

AMAZING SELECTION OF "LOVE MY GLASS FRAMES STYLE & COLOR" - AND A HELPFUL GUY WITH TASTE AND STYLESmall shop a bit hard to find but worth getting there - on SW corner of NE 65th & Roosevelt Way NE tucked on the ground level of a 2-storey mini-mall with parking underground through the alley. Kitty Korner (sic) from Roosevelt Station.An AMAZING array of chic frames and unlike the 10 other places I went, Mario knew his stock and importantly LISTENED to my several requirements and presented frames that were exactly what I asked for in several comparable styles. But then, the table top bloomed into what I can only call a bouquet with Mario adding frames in colors and styles that looked fabulous on me and I might not have picked. Surprisingly they also met my basic requirement list. But of note - he has a talent for suggesting frames that take into account your face shape and colors that you might not realize look great on you. All this is worth a lot!Mario's professionalism, positive attitude and wonderful style choices make shopping for frames an uplifting experience.If you have looked around you know that great pair of glasses has a price and Mario's prices are actually lower for the same level of great looks.Thank you, Mario.By the way LOVE THOSE CLEVERLY GRAPHIC BAGS!

I've always been able to find frames I love and their prices are good. Service has always been top-notch as Mario won't hesitate to go above and beyond to ensure I'm a satisfied customer. He's super knowledgeable and very friendly and returns calls promptly. Wait times have been short and exams are quick, yet thorough. I've been going here since 2013.

Excellent in all respects. Best frames fitting lenses service etc.

Mario is a great man with an infectious laugh and great style. And he really cares and does everything he can to fit your budget. Even if I were to leave Seattle, I could never imagine going anywhere else. One of my favorite small businesses in the city

Super amazing glasses, and better customer service. Mario helped save me like 400$ and got me set up with 2 pairs of incredible specs. Great place!

Great place to get new glasses! I was really impressed by how they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the glasses I went with. There was never any pressure to buy, and I appreciate how easy the entire process was.

Mario is extremely friendly and helpful, and I appreciate the help he gave me picking out frames! He also helped a lot with getting the most out of my insurance. The optometrist who did my eye exam was also very friendly. A great experience and I will definitely be coming here in the future!

The owner of Spex in the City is simply lovely. I felt like I was in Harry Potter when he was picking out his wand. The owner is honest, and works hard to work with insurance companies to get you the best price. I do not understand the low ratings at all and would recommend this place to all looking for frames, lenses, and eye checks!!
