Went with three friends and Julie took so much time and patience with each one of us. We each got new glasses and are so happy with our choices. Great place to get something different and new and exciting.

One of the best frame inventories in Illinois, including many high-end brands not found anywhere else. Good support in my selection process, no-rush, good adjustment service. Top-notch place, and I love that its located in old downtown Bloomington (with free parking right in front of the store).

I love getting glasses from Specs Around Town, it is now the only place I will go. My favorite part is that they do a great job helping me pick out frames! The frames are high quality - in my experience they are significantly better quality than those from the eye doctor. They last really well and are always stylish. The shop is also super cute :)

So many wonderful frames! I love shopping for glasses at Specs Around Town and have received compliments on my glasses from Specs wherever I travel. (And even on Zoom). This shop is a bright and cheerful place in historic downtown Bloomington, Illinois. Julie and Seleema provide great service and help in finding and fitting your perfect glasses and sunglasses. I just love my new “Zoom” glasses!

My first experience at this business was a 10 out of 10! Their selection is over the top. Everyone working here was all about customer service. They leave you wanting for nothing. I purchased two pairs of glasses because I could not decide on only one pair with their fabulous selection. They were very strict with their COVID protocol and I felt very safe. I have received many many compliments on my eyewear. Thank you to Julie and her staff! You rock!

Julie and Salema are the best at customer service and suggesting glasses that look good on me. They deliver an honest evaluation and they are just down right fun to be around. I love the selection - I must since I have bought a number of pairs of glasses over the years. And I dont mind driving a ways to get there to pick out and pick up.

My husband and I have been customers for many years. I’ve lost track of how many pairs of glasses I’ve gotten from Specs, but I’m sure it’s more than a dozen. We go back for the quality, selection, and fit. Plus, Julie and her staff are the best! They have frames no one else has, from fun and funky to sophisticated and serious.

Specs not only has the best specs around town, they’ve got the best for miles around! And the best, most personal service, too. Now going on six years and three pairs of awesome glasses, I can guarantee they are worth the drive!

I have to agree with all the great reviews for Specs Around Town! I have quite literally never gotten so many compliments from so many people on my glasses. They offer more variety in color, shape, and style than Ive seen anywhere else - with the ability to add customization to fit your specific personality. The hardest part is deciding between so many perfect choices. The staff is amazing and lovely, fun to work with super helpful! Need an adjustment? No problem!Specs Around Town has a strong reputation, and it is well-deserved. They have my loyalty as a customer. I couldnt be more pleased.

Had service from Julie and her team at Specs Around Town. Got a pair of glasses adjusted and a new pair of cool red glasses. Julie ‘s team connected with my eye doc (out of the country no less) to get my script and order my glasses. Lots of compliments !! Thanks Specs!

My wife and I reside in Urbana Champaign and have purchased numerous pairs of glasses from Specs Around Town in Bloomington for a decade plus. I am hard on glasses and we both like innovative and comfortable styles. The combination of durability, quality craftsmanship, cutting edge style and of course knowledgeable customer care fits our broad needs and preferences in eyewear to a tee. Thank you Specs Around Town! We love you guys.

Stopped by and talked to Stephanie about a costly pair of sunglasses and she answered all my questions, made me feel good with spending Maui Jim money on sunglasses. Very happy with the service and product I received from these guys. Great local, small business and price was the same as every other place.

Loved the store and the help that I received when picking out my frames, but after receiving my frames and had a problem with the way they looked and the prescription I was no longer treated the same. I was told that this was no lens crafters and there was no returns. They could send them back if the prescription is wrong or I could go back to see the eye doctor. Im sorry but I feel paying over $900 dollars on a pair of glasses and get treated like Im a cheapskate is ridiculous yes I love the glasses they have and the treatment that you receive before getting the glasses but I wont recommend them to anybody. Very Disappointed!

Specs Around Town should definitely be on everyones destination list. Not only does Specs have an awesome staff they also have unique fun eyewear! Everyone is so knowledge about the lenses and frame collections. It is so unique and fun to know the background of the collection of specs you are wearing.I highly recommend making a trip to Specs Around Town and letting them staff do their thing; by pulling frames, sitting down and trying on with you. All while having fun doing it! It is not the same old thing like at the eye doctors office. At Specs they like to have fun and learn a little something about each client. You are definitely NOT a number at Specs, you are a valued client. They are excellent at follow ups; whether that be different colors in a certain frame you like or if something comes in they think youd like, or just to call and see how you are doing in your new specs! They have top notch customer service. People and other business owners should take a look at how well Specs does things! They are also very actively involved in the local community which is a huge bonus in my book! Support local!!
