Queen City is the very best optical store in Colorado, full stop! Scot, the owner, is great at curating the most hip and current eyewear from independent designers around the world. He doesn't have the largest selection, but he has the right selection to seriously elevate your style game. He also is a master at tints and transitions, so your lens game holds up to your frame game. I've worked with most of the top independent eyewear stores around Colorado, all who do a decent job, but if you want the very best, you go to Scot at Queen City. There's a good reason every review he has is 5 stars! read more

This place is the spot! I walked in just casually shopping and walked out with my favorite pair of sunglasses ever and a new favorite shop. I don't break or lose a lot of sunglasses especially when I spend more money on them. The cheap $20-$50 glasses never hold up. Luckily I talked with the very friendly staff and they turned me onto a brand Vuarnet. LIFE CHANGING!! They are now my favorite brand and I will never go too far away. The quality and craftsmanship warrants price. Not to mention they are unique and get compliments all the time. The staff here are unbelievable and really stand by their products and make you feel secure dropping some extra money on some shades. Highly recommend! read more

As an avid glasses connoisseur, my husband takes great pride in finding the finest quality spectacles out there. he loves with optical neuritis which poses a lot of unique needs in his optical care, services and products. Now about the people and the products at this lovely shop. Love the people there so much that hubs will spend an hour just chatting with Scott, Ganon and Eric. Dr. Toppen is great and takes time to patiently answer your questions. Never felt rushed, I Scott is fantastic and basically takes u from the the doc to your perfect set of glasses. The frames I fell in love with at this shop are made by Jacques Marie Mage. These frames are unlike any other designer frame I have had. You can feel the quality immediately. Scott also has gotten me several pairs of a Vuarnet prescription mineral lenses from France. If u have bad vision and have never tried mineral lenses, then I highly recommend it. The clarity is unmatched. Like I have specialized glasses for everything now. Vuarnet nighttime driving glass read more

Queen City Optical was awesome! Immediately when I walked in, one of the employees fixed and cleaned my glasses! My appointment with Dr. Toppen was great! He genuinely cared about my eyes. They all were accommodating and kind. Highly recommend! read more

If you want the best possible experience and customer service, come here!!! What an amazing local gem! I walked in for an eye exam and was greeted with an extremely friendly and helpful staff and Doctor. they tightened and cleaned my glasses while I browsed for a new pair. It smells amazing, is super clean, and they always have good music playing. They've been extremely helpful and flexible, making sure I'm well taken care of and comfortable! Thank you Queen City Team!! read more

This is NOT the typical Eye Care provider. First of all, the shop is really cool! With a very modern style, open spaces, and the display of the glasses, it looks more like an art gallery! I got my eye exam from Dr. Toppen, he was super helpful and made the whole process really easy! I have a very low prescription, but decided to look for glasses and try several on. Scot really helped me choose some glasses that I really loved, so I ended up getting them! The full process is very personalized, you will get assistance through out the whole thing and never feel like you don't know what to do. At the end of the day, you'll probably end up getting some glasses which are also so cool, because you get the help and feedback, and you can feel confident that the glasses you end up choosing will look great on you! Definitely recommend them! read more

Great glasses selection and overall optometry profession. The doctor, Dr. Toppen, was thorough and and never at any point felt rushed, fantastic exam. Scott is a consummate professional, and knew exactly which selection made sense. Fun and unique offerings for glasses. I am not an optical shop person, but this place was comfortable and friendly. The clear theme of the business is attention to detail, high quality and premier service. Craig read more

Happened upon this store while trying to buy a specific pair of sunglasses. Scott, the owner, was incredibly helpful and kind. He is extremely knowledgeable on the products he sells. I highly recommend checking this shop out, if you are in the market for new glasses/sunglasses. read more

Thoughtfully curated selection of glasses but it was the care and personalization of the experience that did it for me. Scott and the team are so welcoming every time I come to get an adjustment and know me by name. Would recommend to anyone! read more

This review is looooong overdue. I just happened upon this amazing shop while visiting my best who lives in the neighborhood and immediately fell in love with their unique and fashionable glasses. I purchased my first pair 3 years plus ago and have been coming back from SF ever since. The customer service is beyond top notch and Scot has definitely gone above and beyond for me on so many occasions. I will not purchase from anyone else because of the unbelievable quality they provide on all fronts. Forever a patron! read more

I must admit, I am a spectacles snob. I've had to wear glasses since I was in the third grade-- Sears is where I got those very un-special glasses. Ugh. As I evolved into a wise adult, I eventually realized that glasses are cool. Glasses are a fun accessory. I've been to my share of hip optical boutiques, in a variety of cities. None have compared to Scot and Dr. Toppen at Queen City. I went there on my birthday during COVID, which is a very strange time to shop for birthday glasses. Scot and Dr. T knew it was my birthday, so they made it fun and festive for me and my small pod of birthday celebrators. Queen's environment is spacious, bright, and easy to move about. Scot will get to the kernel of what's important to you quickly. And then pull out so many frames that look great on you, it will be hard to decide which ones you want! So, yep, I couldn't decide, so I got two frames that I love after Scot crunched some numbers. And they are so worth it. I love them. Go visit Scot and Dr. T. for your special, hip, and fun spectacle experience. read more

Great service here! Brought my broken glasses to Scott who fixed them up super quickly and placed the screws back in free of charge. Super nice guys too read more

Scott and Eric are such kind and caring souls! I recently got my first eye exam, and was very nervous and down about picking out glasses. They spent their time with me helping me pick out my first pair of glasses, never making me feel rushed or pressured into any purchase. Scott was even able to put in my order fast enough for me to get my glasses before leaving on vacation! read more

Love this place. Scott (owner) and his staff are amazing. Very helpful and professional. They have a GREAT selection of glasses and sun glasses. My prescription changed after I got my glasses and they replaced the lenses FOC. Unreal. Honestly, the best customer service anywhere. Get in there and support this local business. You won't be sorry. read more

The space that this new optical shop is in is gorgeous and it's located in a super fun part of town. Honestly though, while the space is fantastic and very comfortable to shop in, the service and selection of frames are what really make this place stand out. Looking at all of the stunning eye-wear is fun and the frame selection in the shop is perfectly curated. Even more important (for me), Scot guided me away from frames that, while beautiful, weren't a great fit and helped me find the perfect pair of glasses (2 pairs, actually...I couldn't resist) for me. I'm always relieved when a shop owner gives me an honest and informed opinion, and that's crazy-important when it comes to glasses! The entire shopping experience from start to finish was fantastic. And, the eye exam from Dr. Toppen was top notch. read more

This is such a great place. Scot and and Dr Toppen are so welcoming. Dr. Toppen was thorough and explained everything, I never felt rushed. After my exam, Scot was extremely patient as he helped me try on and pick out my first pair of glasses. I highly recommend them. Scot even helped file my insurance claim for me as they do no take insurance. What a great addition to the neighborhood. read more
