Mr. Bollmann, both owner and optician, was incredibly welcoming, accommodating, patient, kind, and friendly. He spoke English well, proved to be incredibly competent, and truly cared about my experience at his shop (they will even serve you coffee, if you like). I appreciated the meticulous care he took in administering and explaining the results from my eye examination; he was equally patient in educating me on my eyeglass options.
