Reviews of Garrett Leight California Optical - Queen West (Optics Shop)

Haya Rizvi

Had a great experience buying prescription glasses at GLCO - they have a great selection of both GLCO and Mr. Leight glasses, in plenty of sizes and colours. Like every other review has mentioned - Blaire, the manager of the store, is immediately warm and super committed to spending time making recommendations and really finding something that works for you!

It was the sophisticated design sensibilities of the store and high quality of product that brought me in, but the team at GLCO that made for an extraordinary experience. Blaire is extremely knowledgeable, patient, friendly and authentically concerned that you leave loving your glasses. In my case, they went above and beyond making this happen. Highly recommended.

Daniel Gonshor

Had a super professional and easy experience replacing my old Garrett Leight Brooks with a new pair of Clune’s. Blaire and the team were fantastic. Would recommend without hesitation.

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience at GLCO Queen. Blaire and Isa were so helpful and accommodating and they helped me pick out the best pair of sunglasses with all sorts of customization options. The care that was taken to make sure that I had something I loved was next level. The turn around to having the prescription lenses put in was super fast and Blaire made sure that the glasses were perfectly fitted to my face. I basically felt like royalty haha. I rarely write reviews, but this place was worthy of it. My go to for glasses going forward.

How lucky are we that Toronto has a Garrett Leight! The glasses in here are top quality, fabulously designed and the lenses recommended are the best quality. The sales team are extremely educated and helped me find two pairs that I will keep forever. Highly recommend the brand, the shop and the team, for all your eyewear needs.

Orly Frieberg

My experience at GLCO Queen West was unmatched. Blair was so incredibly helpful finding me 2 perfect pairs of glasses. She understood exactly what I was looking for, and pulled samples for me to try which fit the descriptions of what I was looking for perfectly. The Covid precautions were great, and I felt totally safe and comfortable; I had a private appointment and there were air purifiers running at all times. Only the staff was able to pull glasses off the shelf, and if/when I decided against a pair, they were immediately sterilized before they put them away. Overall, I can't recommend this shopping experience enough. If you're looking for a new pair of glasses, Garrett Leight California Optical is the place to go!

Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend shopping here for your eyewear needs! Will definitely be back soon.

My experience at GLCO Queen West was fantastic! Blair and Isabel were extremely welcoming, warm, and patient with my husband and I as we tried on multiple frames during our search for glasses. They answered any questions we had and made the entire experience of shopping for glasses really enjoyable. I would highly recommend this shop!

Erica Nguyen

Blair and Isabelle are the best! They were incredibly patient while working on 2 pairs of glasses for me. I never felt rushed even when I dropped by without an appointment (whoops!), they are just so nice. I feel like they smile all the time even with masks on. Also pretty impressed with the high quality material GLCO uses for their lenses. Thanks again for working with my frames, especially the ones from Italy!! :D

Paulo Garcia

The whole experience from booking a time to come in, try on several styles and coming back to get the frame fitted all went really well. I'm so stoked about my glasses and I've never felt more comfortable/myself in glasses before this pair. Welcome to Canada, GLCO! So glad you finally made it :)

Abby Tobias

AMAZING SERVICE! Love my shades :)))) 5 stars all day

I Ahmad

Great selection, but the service is what is exceptional. Blaire is very patient and helpful. Highly recommended.

Suzanne Zielinski

10/10 experience! I scheduled an appointment to look at glasses a few months ago, and had the pleasure of being assisted by Blaire. I could not be happier with my glasses, the experience and the level of service I had. The frames themselves are beautiful and I have been getting lots of compliments on them, in fact I actually am happy to wear these vs an old pair I have. Highly recommend coming here if you’re shopping for new frames!

Cyrill Durigon

Best glasses, best people I am very satisfied

A wonderful experience from the moment I walked through the door. Blaire and Isabel were so helpful and knowledgeable, and helped me pick the perfect pair of new frames. They were ready within days. My new go-to spot for glasses and sunglasses!

Andrea Breen

Great selection and absolutely fantastic service.

Cole McLay

Amazing experience from start to finish. Blaire helped me pick out the best frames and colour for me, while also offering to help me replace the lenses in an old pair of sunnies. We hit a few bumps in the road when it came to shipping and Blaire was quick to suggest alternate plans that fit with my needs. It was a masterclass in providing a great customer experience. Thank you!

Douglas

Great attentive service courtesy of Blaire! Very happy with my Hampton X frames and high index lenses.

Hawley Dunbar

Loved visiting this sunny space on Queen - might even be my fave Garrett Leight shop in the world! Blaire and Isabel were so helpful in the selection and customization process and they have sooo many amazing frames. Felt super safe too with their sanitation and covid policies in place.

Emily Musing

I had a great experience at Garrett Leight on Queen West. The representative helped me find a beautiful pair of glass and was able to answer all my questions. The eye care professional then took great care to ensure a good fit. The glasses came quickly and I am very satisfied. I will buy from this store again and would highly recommend them to others.

Recently bought a stylish set of frames from GLCO and am sooo happy with them :) Love the personalized experience, all the recommendations and the patience from Blair & Isabel while I tried on 748388837 before finding the perfect pair. Will definitely be back to check out their other offerings!

Ilan Levy

Had a fantastic experience with Blair today. She was awesome and made the experience.

Michael Ward

Blaire and team were exactly what I expected - excellent service and know how. GLCO's arrival in Canada was long overdue and I couldn't be happier with my Brooks X sunnies. Already California dream'n about my next pair...Garrett Leight California Optical dreaming of course! ;)

Great experience, staff was very helpful in providing recommendations that worked best for my face and ultimately helped me find a pair of sunglasses I loved.

Sergei Teterin

Awesome experience! Loved everything, started from the design of the store to the variety of option and stuff. Blaire and Isabel were very helpful and frames they suggested were so to my taste that it took me a while trying to decide which ones I like the most. Very happy with the experience and definitely will be back to the store.

Colette Danyliuk

This optical store is fabulous. It has a great selection of frames and superior service provided by Blair and Isabelle who are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. My glasses were perfect and I got them, within less than a week.

Michel Helie

Great optical shop along the strip of other opticians on Queen West. Outstanding customer service. Optician (Blaire) cuts Zeiss lenses in shop and so service is also quick and results flawless. Well worth making a stop to check it out.

Paul Narciso

Amazing service and great selection. They know exactly what works for your face. Highly recommend!!

C Bean

Absolutely incredible experience!!! This stunning gem opened recently & I’m so happy I found them! I’ve always had a problem finding a nice pair of sunglasses that fit my face & these are perfect! The ladies who work there are beyond amazing at getting the fit just right & they have the loviest of personalities. Thank You Blaire & Isabel! I initially went in to have a pair of glasses I bought in Spain repaired & ended up buying 3 pairs of new ones. Literally could not resist! Covid protocols followed perfectly. Higher end store with quality products & top notch customer service. Definitely worth the drive from Burlington!

Danny Lovasic

This brand, it’s products, the store itself and ESPECIALLY the staff are top notch! I’m a very picky and sometimes indecisive consumer. Blare and Isabel were both very knowledgeable and extremely patient when it came time for me to choose a pair of sunglasses. I couldn’t be more happy overall with the service and my purchase. Money well spent for sure. If you’re after cool looking premium eyewear there is no better place to go in Canada! 10/10!!!!

Heath Purtell-Sharp

An amazing experience at GLCO Queen West. The team were super helpful and knowledgable when it came to choosing my new eyeglasses. Their follow up customer service after my purchase to make sure everything is going well is greatly appreciated.

Meraya Lamando

Amazing experience! I've been wanting a pair of GLCO glasses for awhile now and Blair and Isabel were extremely friendly and went above and beyond in helping me choose my new frames and clip-ons! I would definitely be back for more and would highly recommend others to visit as well! Thanks Blair and Isabel!

Kosta Tourlas

Great experience ! Great staff !

Alison Kirby

Blair helped me pick out a great new pair of glasses, because I’m incapable of figuring out what looks good on my face. Glasses seem wonderful quality. Thank you!

asare sarpong

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had purchasing sun glasses. The ladies took us in without an appointment and showed my friend and I a great time. Recommended some glasses while allowing us to look around until I found the perfect pair. Super happy with the purchase and even more excited about the many compliments I’ve received wearing them. Thanks again ladies!!

Graham Smith

I went to GLCO on Queen St. W to buy my first pair of prescription eyeglasses. Blaire (owner) was extremely helpful and made the process of choosing a pair easy. They also had my lenses ready within 5 business days, which was much faster than the other shops I had visited in Toronto. I would highly recommend shopping here!

Katharine Campbell

I couldn't be happier with my new Garrett Leight sunglasses or with my experience at the Queen West store! Blaire was knowledgeable, patient, and fun, and helped me pick out a pair of glasses that fit my face properly and look great. I appreciated all of the precautions she took to make the store feel safe, including scheduling a private appointment for me to try things on. I will definitely be back!

Daniel Kahn

Fantastic service, fantastic sunglasses. Recommend highly

Melina Tondino

Amazing products and service from Garrett Leight! The Queen West location - specifically Blaire - is very helpful in creating a seamless, virtual order experience and getting me the glasses I need. Thank you!

Phil Boughton

Super helpful staff and great frames. Delighted to see a Toronto branch open up!

Sal Fazzari

This was a great experience. I love my shades, the best pie I’ve ever owned.

Chasya Dove

Such an amazing store! The team was fantastic, huge shoutout to Blaire and Isabel! I LOVE my new frames, such great quality and these blue light lenses are incredible, I can already feel the difference between these lenses and my old ones. I felt comfortable buying my glasses from Garrett Leight - Queen West because the staff was so knowledgeable and very friendly/patient. They've gone to great measures to make sure the store has proper disinfecting measures in place. My glasses came in super quickly too. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back to get some sunnies.

Jason Leopold

They care, simply put. And nicer quality than neighbouring stores.

Hilary Thompson

I have always struggled to find the perfect pair of glasses with the style, shape, colour, and fit that I want. It was always a painful process jumping from store to store to feel… just so-so. Based on this, I never wore my glasses outside of the house. After visiting GLCO for the first time, not only did I find find the perfect pair… I found two! I love them both and now I happily wear my glasses outside to see the light of day. On top of this, the service was fantastic - Blaire was so knowledgeable, helpful, and such a pleasure to chat with during my visit.

Justin Gregorio

Excellent in-store shopping experience. The staff were super friendly and extremely helpful when I was picking out my frames. The store is great with lots of styles. The glasses are great quality. I'll definitely getting more eyewear from GLCO in the future.

Tim H

Blaire and the entire GLCO team were so helpful in setting me up with my first pair of prescription glasses. From the booking to fitting to pick-up, the process couldn't have been any better.
