It was finally time to replace some old glasses and King & Rose is in my building. It was easy setting the appointment and they handled the insurance part as well. The Dr was really helpful as I thought I might try contacts. She explained the pro and cons while helping me decide. I stuck with glasses, had a great vision test and was set. Then came the glasses. They have an incredible selection of frames and the gentleman that helped me was good and spot on related to my style. He selected several frames to try and I loved them all but ultimately decided on the 1st pair he selected. They look and feel great. read more

Casey Optical - New glasses (new me) - Optometrists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Very convenient, and had a good eye exam. Roland, the optician, did a good job getting the lenses right and the frames to fit well. It's not a bargain place, but I feel like I got what I paid for. I do wish there was a slightly bigger selection of frames, but I found something that worked for me. read more

After visiting around 10 eyeglass stores, I finally drifted over to King and Rose Optical. I felt discouraged after a long day of searching and Roland stepped in to save the day. He recommended frames that I would not have selected for myself, but ended up fitting my face perfectly! They have a very unique, curated, and quality selection. I was able to walk out with a new style and the process could not have been easier. The service was impeccable from start to finish and I plan to return for all future frames/lenses, 10/10 recommend! read more

Wow! What an amazing place. I found this little gem just by randomly walking by. I moved to Austin about a year ago and have been keeping my eyes peeled for a specialty glasses store preferably with a glasses guru. This is where it's at. Upon entering the store, the two ladies at the front were super pleasant, friendly and helpful. Their glasses are unique and from designers that are high end but not top name brands so more of smaller designers that are super creative. Roland would be the guy you want to see if you are looking for someone to help find you something that is just for your lifestyle, face shape etc. Additionally, they do in house exams with a very knowledgeable and friendly optometrist so it is a one stop shop. If you want to feel cared for and come out looking fabulous then this is the place for you. read more

Great experience. Super service and selection. Roland is the Glasses Whisperer. Love my new glasses. Wonderful follow up.

Great selection and fantastic people! I had spent a long time searching for unique glasses that fit my face, and Roland was incredibly helpful in picking out frames and styling them. I spent an annoyingly long amount of time picking out glasses and Roland was with me every step of the way, and it only took so long because the collection they've put together is so amazing! If anyone is looking for fantastic frames, I highly recommend! read more

I ordered some unique glasses so I wanted an optical shop that was experienced in these kinds of frames and had good prices for high index lenses. I went ahead and started going to different optical shops for quotes. One shop quoted me for a polycarbonate lens and their second lowest grade antireflective coating for $350.00. They did not sound confident in putting lenses on my frames as well. When I visited the King and Rose for a quote, Roland greeted me while attending to another customer. When it was my turn, he let me take a seat and informed me about their digital lenses after examining my frames. He quoted me a price of $350 for high index digital frames single vision frames with anti reflective coating. He let me know they are not responsible if the frames break but assured me that it would be fine. I paid and they told me the turnaround time would be 2 weeks. Fast forward a week and I get a call they are ready. I dropped by and got the temples of my new glasses adjusted. No problems with vision. Had a good talk with Roland about eyeglasses before we left. read more

Came in for a mild repair on my sunglasses. They took care of me right away and didn't charge me! I will definitely be a repeat customer

What an incredible experience! If you want unique selection and professional service; King and Rose Optical is the right choice. Note: I had my prescription already. During my first visit, I was immediately greeted by Roland who was assisting another customer. Dr. Provost picked up and clarified my needs. He was careful to make recommendations that fit my style, face shape, and comfort. He brought me selections that I could try on and we narrowed it down to the perfect frame. Roland also stepped in after helping his customer. Roland was able to give me the information I needed and I wasn't confused about what was happening with my insurance, etc. They quoted two weeks for the frames to arrive. It felt like the frames came sooner than expected; so that was a nice bonus. Roland left me a voicemail and included the hours the store would be open so I could plan my pickup accordingly. The pickup was easy. Roland ensured that I was able to see clearly and gave me some expectations for my eyes to adjust. I will certainly go back and recommend my friends to King and Rose Optical! read more

Super nice people! I went in there and asked them to put a screw in a pair of glasses and do some other work and they were super nice and did it for free! Next pair of glasses I buy will be from here. read more

I needed to get my eyes checked and had seen Dr. Provost in the past, so I decided to go out of my way a bit and check out the new frames shop where he now splits his time. I never spend money (or time) on glasses but I was absolutely blown away by the experience I had! Upon entering the store I was welcomed by two lovely and knowledgeable people, Bryan and Alex. After offering me a sparkling water Alex patiently tended to me as I waltzed through the whole store trying on nearly every pair of frames they had. It was so fun, their frames are gorgeous! These aren't your run of the mill glasses, or even your "designer" diors and whatnot. These are handmade, unique and beautiful pieces that make you stand out. I was even fortunate enough to come in on a day they were having a trunk show and got to meet the designer who made the frames I bought! It's not often you get a chance to get feedback on how things look on you by the person who actually made them! Once I finally chose a pair Bryan stepped in to take all sorts of measurements and made sure everything was just right. A week later I got a call saying they were ready and excitedly went to get them. Again, Alex was a doll and Bryan made 3 or 4 little tweaks to make my new glasses perfect. They fit like a glove, I see very clearly and I couldn't be happier! All of my glasses in the past have been from quick stop eye places and I didn't know how cruddy they were until I got my new glasses from King and Rose. They cost more than the others but I know I will have these glasses forever. Can't wait to wear them all the time! Thank you Alex, Bryan and Dr. Provost for giving me a truly spectacular experience, will be sending all of my folks your way!! read more

Casey Optical - Lovely packaging for my new glasses. - Optometrists Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Picture it - if you can see - concierge service for your eyeballs. It's the Kendra Scott of nerdy "blind" people. No one has ever cared more about how you look and how you see. Friendly staff - has the right amount of suspenders to glasses ratio. The doc has great bedside banner and his breath doesn't smell so that's a plus! I mean...when your faces are that close it kinda matters. Amiright? Mostly eclectic and some standard designs made by name brands you don't recognize. The right amount of hipster decorations to get you hot and bothered. Bring your credit card bc it's expensive. But gosh darn it, you're worth it. read more

Super nice people, good service. They have some trendy options for glasses but could benefit from a larger selection and the pricing is a bit on the expensive side. Even with insurance, I paid almost $400 for a pair of glasses. read more

The eye doctor is amazing, state of the art equipment, if you're still getting your eyes dilated, you need to go see him. And Roland, from the frame store is a super frame expert. When I walked out of my eye exam, he had preselected the frames that would fit well on my face just from having seen me walk in! Everyone super nice and courteous and my insurance plan was covered here and really helped with the prices! Their frame selections are hip and current. Highly recommend it! read more

I had the pleasure of being one of the first customers at King and Rose and it was a wonderful experience! First off, I was really relieved to find that they have a large parking garage on site, so parking was a breeze! The store itself is beautiful, with many lovely touches. I was very warmly welcomed, and offered sparkling water, which was a nice thought on a hot Texas day. They have a wonderful selection of frames, with a lot of unique styles and materials that you can't find other places. The staff was extremely knowledgable and was able to help me find a pair that I really love and that fit my face really well. I have a petite, narrow face, so it can be tough to find fun adult options that fit, so I really appreciated their selection. I wasn't there for sunglasses, but they have a lot of really cool frames for sunglasses as well! I was impressed with the latest technology they had to measure my pupillary distance; I had never seen such an instrument before. When my glasses came in, they fit perfectly--no pinching or headaches--and I am so thrilled with them. They gave me my glasses with a few thoughtful extras in a gift bag--such a nice little touch that really made the experience special. If you are looking for something to set you apart from the Warby Parker crowd, definitely take a trip to King and Rose! read more

Working with Roland at King and Rose was a pleasure. Their selection of unique and classic frames was great. I wanted a new look for the sport glasses I had already and this was totally the place. They have some frames even made from recycled records and are totally cool. I was recommended this place from a friend and now will do the same. My wife is just waiting for next year when insurance will let her get some cool new prescription sunglasses. Will be back!! read more

For efficiency, I'm just going to copy and paste a text message I sent to my bff: I went back into the eye doctor's office, got my eyes all checked out with some really amazing imagining machine, the doctor says that Roland is very experienced and will help me. He's already set out a tray of glasses. I asked him if these were the ones most appropriate for my prescription. He said, no, that these were the most appropriate for my face shape. I asked him about a pair that he hadn't selected and he said, "Of course, if you wanted to make a...statement." When I was trying the ones he picked out, he wasn't asking what I liked, he was looking for what he liked. Narrowed it down, made his recommendation and I thought, awesome. A decision that I don't have to make. So I just went with it. I was thinking, I wonder if this is how celebrities shop. Do people just tell them what to buy? Is that why they always look current? This was the most upscale shopping experience I've ever had. It was amazing. If you don't let Roland pick your glasses for you, you're doing yourself a disservice. read more

If you're looking for one-of-a-kind, unique frames, you're in luck, King and Rose got you covered. We looked all over town for new glasses for my hubby, growing increasingly exasperated at the generic selection available to us. As soon as we stepped through the door at this lovely boutique in Allendale, we instinctively knew we had found what we were looking for. The selection is carefully and thoughtfully curated; every brand is unique, "designer" in the truest sense of the word, and of the highest craftsmanship. The customer service is unparalleled. Roland was incredibly helpful, taking the time to tell us about the different brands and designers, helping us select some options and then winnow them down, without a hint of pushiness. We truly felt like he wanted my hubby to find the perfect frames that best suited him rather than just making a sale. Hubs ended up with probably the nicest pair of glasses he's ever owned, ones that capture his personality while giving him a new look. I am now thinking I should get myself a pair so we can both be cool ;) read more

Casey Optical - Optometrists Near Me - Austin, Texas

The best optical store in town with the best service! I have bought glasses at several of the other high end stores in town, Santa Fe Optical, Eye Joy, etc., but none even come close to Kind & Rose and the phenomenal Roland. He spends time helping you select the perfect glasses for your face, the symmetry of your features, your lifestyle and your personality. He was very patient with me while I tried on several frames. Of course, one of the ones he selected for me was the best! After having visited three other optical stores that week, he picked out the perfect glasses for me in fewer than five minutes. He is an eyeglass wizard! Not only that, but he is extremely educated on each frame, its designer, and prescriptions. He has my business for life. Thanks, Roland! read more

Excellent services and in time responses via online order! I will buy from them again.

King and Rose is such a gem! I go somewhere else for eye exams, but I stopped in here yesterday to browse frames and am so glad I did. It's a gorgeous, upscale-feeling boutique, without the crazy price tags or snobbery of other high-end places. Roland, the manager, was there when I needed him but also let me browse on my own like I said I prefer to do. The frames are all very chic and unique-but-super-wearable, with a ton of great options for such a seemingly small space. I ended up falling in love with a pair of Krewe glasses but leaving without purchasing them, and when I messaged the boutique that night to express my regret, they promptly responded that they would be happy to hold them for me to pick up today. When I went in to purchase them, they were laid out beautifully with a note for me- talk about impeccable service! Solid work, King and Rose. Solid work. read more

I don't normally buy glasses, but the experience I had at King and Rose was excellent! Roland was so incredibly helpful. I have no idea what to look for in a pair of glasses, but Roland spent a lot of time walking through the available frames and was very straightforward with me in finding ones that fit my face well. I really appreciated the expertise and honesty in that regard. In addition, Roland bent over backwards in helping me with my insurance after I had encountered some problems. We ultimately got it resolved, and I was thankful for his help and patience. It is true that the glasses here were a bit more pricy than I expected... but considering I don't buy glasses often, I decided to just try it out, especially since they looked nice. Again, had the whole shopping experience not been so smooth and positive, I might not have gone through with it, so props to Roland for making it worthwhile. read more

State of the art eye exam. Very distinctive frames. Highly curated. You won't find glasses everyone else has. You won't find a huge selection of frames that all look basically alike. Roland had a tray of frames waiting for me after my exam, and offered great advice helping me narrow it down. I have bought 2 pairs of glasses from them, and will be back next time I am in need. read more

Amazing experience here! This place is trendy and adorable, but with amazing and comfortable service. I stumbled upon this gem looking for a provider with my insurance. My experience was more than top notch! I went for an eye exam and hadn't been in a few years since I've always had 20/20 vision. More recently, blue light has affected my eyes. Dr. Provost was so warm and welcoming - he was very thorough and informative in our appointment. He explained the process and even uncovered I had an astigmatism. Bonus: Roland is fantastic with knowledge and helping you pick out glasses - they have an amazing brand of optical glasses (Krewe) that I'm obsessed with for sunglasses! So, while having an astigmatism isn't my favorite, having cute and trendy glasses made it way more fun of an experience! I've recommended them to family and friends & I will most definitely continue to be a patient here for years to come! read more

The staff were really wonderful about me coming in with a 2 yo in my lap for my entire exam and fitting. Everyone was masked and the store pristine, so it was clear that they are doing the most to keep customers safe during the pandemic. The staff were great about steering me towards frames that were great for my face and made selecting a new pair a breeze. Their frames were all really stylish- definitely going to get my hubby to go there for his next pair too! read more

I decided to come here for my eye care needs because I saw the five star reviews beforehand, I was pleased with everything. The eyewear selection is high quality and elegant, classy and on the higher side of the cost spectrum. If you want quality, you'll find it here. The customer service is great! read more

I had a great experience with King & Rose. It was easy to book an appointment, they took their time and really talked to me about my vision issues (which are complicated) and curated a selection of glasses for me so I had the perfect pair waiting after I got my prescription. I picked them up today and this is literally the best I've seen with glasses on. I'll definitely be wearing glasses more often now. Highly recommend! read more

Of course, the words: "eye glasses" and "optometrist" automatically invoke a mental image of "LensCrafters" or "Visionworks" or any other generic 1-hour glasses place. Drew and Bryan explained that King & Rose carried artisan frames which made me draw a big, huge blank. I had no idea what "artisan frames" meant, but after visiting, seeing the selection, trying on eyewear, and speaking with the staff I'm very pleased my glasses and Rx sunglasses. I've worn contacts for years, but my eyes need a break periodically due allergies. Taking a break from contacts is pretty hard without glasses, so with money in my FSA and a free afternoon I stopped into King & Rose. Bryan was working and I let him know I have not picked out glasses in an extremely long-time (7 years or so). I was nervous to pick out something I would later find uncomfortable or avoid wearing because of a vibrant color. He seemed to pick up on how overwhelmed I felt and started asking me about my preferences. From when I usually wear my glasses, what my old glasses look like, what I like about my sunglasses, and what colors I prefer, Bryan took the time to understand my wants and needs (even when I was not able to articulate them). First, Bryan had me try on a few pairs for size. He quickly knew which size frames to suggest. Then came the shape and color of the frames. Each different pair Bryan handed me to try on was accompanied with why the particular frame would work for me. He would check over the fit of the frame on my face and make sure I felt comfortable in each pair. As we moved through the store and on to different brands to try on Bryan had amazing facts about every brand they carry. He let me know which brands donated proceeds to clean up corporate pollution in the U.S., the advantage of materials the brand uses, and more. Bryan also pointed out what made each brand unique like hand-crafted glasses using vintage materials. The entire experience felt like a shopping experience with a very educated friend and my initial nerves completely dissipated. Finally, we had it narrowed down to two pairs. I like the way each of them looked, but one of pair was very comfortable to wear. I had chosen a pair of Ahlem eyeglasses which are each hand-crafted in France with number etched in to the temple to indicate that frame's number of the total frames produced (just like a print number on artwork). They looked great and just felt right! Since I'm sensitive to bright light and religiously wear sunglasses, I asked about prescription sunglasses to couple with my new specs. Bryan went straight to the Ahlem's sunglasses and I fell in love with the first paid I tried on! Any other sunglasses after that were just tried on for fun. After a few measurements and using my FSA funds to cover most of the cost, Bryan said he would put in the order and should have them in between 7 to 10 business days, but the last pairs he ordered arrived in a 5 business days. I've had my new glasses and Rx sunglasses for a few months and I am in love with them! I continually get complements on them and I highly recommend King & Rose to everyone! To sum to all up, the staff is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. Their selection is hand-picked and high-quality! read more

Do you want the best experience in optometry? From booking your appointment to ordering classes... Yeah, look no further. Seriously. I'm newer to this area and wanted to get a new eye doctor that wasn't so far away. I decided to try King and Rose because of the stellar reviews. I called and Roland picked up. He should seriously get an award for best customer service​ and no, I'm not being dramatic. All I was doing was booking an appointment and he made me feel super appreciated. I saw Dr. Provost and let me tell you... HE LISTENS. I've seen countless eye doctors in my life. They all try to push something. Some sort of solution, eye drops or contacts that by the time you walk out I spent hundreds. Well not Dr. Provost, he wants to do what is right for you and listens. He doesn't push anything. The glasses they carry are expensive BUT they are very unique, the highest quality I've personally ever seen and Roland is a professional at fitting them. I told him I hate wearing glasses because they hurt my ears. He showed me exactly why I was uncomfortable​. I haven't received my glasses quite yet but I'm very excited. Actually, I wasn't planning on buying glasses at all but hey, they were beautiful. Thank you for the great experience! read more

Highly recommended! I purchased 2 pairs of glasses (regular and sunnies) from King & Rose and could not be happier. I've primarily worn contact lenses for decades, in part because my vision was always sharper than it was with glasses, but that changed pretty quickly once I got my new lenses. I have a moderately strong prescription, and everything looks crisp and perfect--no warping or blurriness at the edges. I walked into the shop fairly clueless, and Bryan was awesome. He listened to what I was looking for and provided tons of helpful suggestions and frames to try. Fitting and ordering were painless, communication was always timely, and he took care of my vision insurance with absolutely no fuss. To top it all off, my frames are gorgeous. I'd never gotten compliments on my glasses before! This is not the cheapest place in town to get glasses, but it is definitely worth the extra expense. read more

King and Rose has such a great and DIFFERENT selection that you can't find at other stores. You have to visit to fully appreciate it. Dr. Provost helped the first day narrow it down to a few but it was with Roland on another trip where I finally decided. I knew him from another optical shop a while back and am so glad I ran across him at K&R. As soon as he weighed in on my choices, I was done. I love the sunglasses I bought in no small part to the selection but HIM as well!!! read more

Dr Provost My wife, two daughters and I have been seen by Dr Provost for the last few years. King & Rose has a great selection of unique eye wear. The environment has always been professional and friendly, but most importantly I feel that I can trust the advice that Dr Provost gives us. We have used Dr Provost for routine eye exams, contact lenses, glasses, and the occasional eye infection. I would recommend Dr Provost to any family member or friend without hesitation. read more

I just moved to Austin and went for my yearly eye exam and Dr. Provost and Rolando treated me very professionally and the selection of eye glass frames has very unique and modern. Thanks! read more

This place is AWESOME! Have you ever been watching TV or flipping through a magazine and wondered where do stars find such awesome eyewear? There's no way those unique and cool designs can be found in chain stores, right? I asked that question myself, as I always thought of optical stores as being somewhat all the same, with generic designs and not much personality. Well King and Rose is exactly the opposite of that! First impression when you walk into the store: it's beautiful. The decor is warm and rich, and very inviting. Secondly, this isn't the type of place where you're faced with walls after walls of what seems to be all the same pair of glasses. Right when you walk in, you see frames in all of shapes and material, and wonderful colors. Their selection is incredibly unique and so very well curated, and styles all the way from classic to extravagant. I was welcomed warmly by Bryan on my first visit, who is all smiles and very knowledgeable. You can tell he is a passionate. He took the time to introduce me to the different designers they carry and explain the quality of the craftsmanship of all their frames. They even have several designer lines that are exclusive to them and are not available anywhere else in all of Texas! I have been back a few times since my first visit (my boyfriend fell in love with a collection of frames made of recycled vinyls), and have been treated incredibly well each time. Dr. Provost, the owner, is courteous, professional and very attentive. Alex is friendly and welcoming, and has the eye to find exactly the right frames for you. If you are looking for a positively different experience, a unique look, and incredible quality of eyewear, search no longer: King and Rose is where it's at. Plus, they are locally owned, and serve mimosas on Saturdays! What else could you possibly ask for?! read more

Very good experience at King and Rose. Eye exam was thorough and the staff was really helpful. They had frames picked out by the time I got out from the eye exam. They were really patient as well (I was very indecisive and had to go in a second time to look at more frames). Roland is very knowledgeable in the lens options and was able to answer a lot of my questions about them. read more

I was visiting Austin for the weekend and forgot my sunglasses. Stumbled upon this place while driving around. This boutique store had a wide range of styles, from traditional to the latest cutting edge glasses. Some glasses appeared to be ahead of the trend, if that's your thing. If you are looking for a fresh style, this is a good place. Traditional is more my style, but the person helping me suggested some glasses that would be better for the shape of my face. I am thrilled that I took her advice, because I never would have picked these hip glasses on my own. All of the glasses I tried were very solid feeling. I think that high-quality is what this place is going for. I guess what I liked about this place the most was the very wide variety of styles and the staff's ability to help me pick the best frames for my face. Will go back next time I'm in Austin. read more

King and Rose not only has a great selection of glasses, but their staff truly cares about you, your experience, and your satisfaction. My exam was quick and thorough. I was able to easily find frames that I loved. My new prescriptions are great. I can see again, and look stylish doing it! I will not be hesitating to return for sunglasses. Their is also easy and ample parking which is also a plus. Highly recommended! read more

What a great find! This place was not like any other optical I've been to. Very sleek and modern vibe and in a cool part of town. They had so many awesome frames that I had a hard time deciding which pair to get. But I found a perfect pair. The lady helping me was super friendly and helpful too! read more

Really love King & Rose. They took their time and helped me find not only the perfect contact lens brand for my lifestyle but also my perfect pair of glasses. They are an awesome business who really care about customer happiness. You feel it when you first step in the door! Thanks, King & Rose! read more

Great experience with them. Roland made purchasing a new set of frames very easy. The Dr was very thorough and got my prescription exactly right. read more
