I have been purchasing my reading, computer and sunglasses from Second Street Optique for 4 years now. The array of eyewear, name brands and frames is larger than you will find in your optometrist office. The best part of the visit is Marc the owner who gives you personalized attention (I recommend an appointment) and he is excellent at detail and what frame works for your face regarding size, fitting and style. Marc also manages to get the prescription updates perfectly every time. I live about almost an hour's drive from the Long Beach/Belmont Shore location but it's worth every minute of freeway driving to buy his super stylish frames. I highly, highly recommend you add Second Street Optique to your contacts for your glasses needs. read more

Great selection of high quality eyewear and excellent service. Marc is so attentive to detail when it comes to fit and style - truly a treasure. The eyewear is pricey, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for. read more

Second Street Optique is a standout, and Marc is the reason why. His service is thoughtful, precise, and truly personal. He made the process of selecting frames effortless and even enjoyable, which is not always easy when you're as picky as I am! What really sets this place apart is the eyewear. Marc curates one-of-a-kind frames you won't find anywhere else, and it shows. Ever since I started wearing mine, I've been receiving compliments after compliments. It's honestly become a conversation starter wherever I go. If you value quality, style, and service that goes above and beyond, you'll want to make your way here. Marc is a gem, and Second Street Optique delivers. Thanks Marc, you know who read more

I was walking by on a nice day on 2nd street, decided to stop in, door was locked. When the guy finally came to open the door, he told me I should have made an appointment even though his website says they take walk-ins. He let me look around but rushed me out because his other appointment was arriving soon and apparently more important. Why would you locate your business on the busiest walking district in LB only to pull the "by appointment only" snob appeal? Ether you take walk-ins or you don't. But being rushed out was not good customer service. And if your website says you take walk-ins, then you should actually take walk-ins and treat them like good paying customers, not nuisance because they didn't fallow your protocol. read more

I absolutely love Marc at Second Street Optique! He is personable, professional, and truly knows his craft. He has such an artistic eye for recommending frames that perfectly suit different faces. Even though I live far from his business, Marc always goes above and beyond--whether it's adjusting my sunglasses or glasses, or mailing them back to me quickly without any issues. His kindness, attention to detail, and old-school customer care are rare these days. I highly, highly recommend Second Street Optique for all your optical needs. They just don't make them like this anymore! read more

My partner has been going to Marc for years and always praises his warm personality, impeccable style, and distinctive selection. After experiencing problems with my first pair of progressives from another provider, I decided to give Marc a try--and I'm so glad I did! He quickly realized that my prescription might be off, and he was absolutely right. The frames are stunning, and the lenses are far superior to what I had before. I also love how easy they are to keep clean. Thank you, Marc! read more

I have purchased several frames from Mark over the years and have had many prescription updates. Mark is a very experienced, competent and professional optician. I enjoy working with him in the selection of new frames. read more

As a long time patron of Marc's optical shop, I can only repeat what I've been saying since day 1... absolutely fantastic selection, service and support from Marc. Throughout all these years, he's always been an absolute star! Even as I have moved across the country, I still only shop with Marc! A+++!!! read more

Have been a client for years! Marc always has such an amazing collection from all Over the world! My lenses are always perfect! This time around went with ruby transitions on a beautiful Ahlem frame. Thank you for always taking care of me! read more

Prices are still 100s higher than want I see in some shops in Beverly Hills, and yes, for the same exact frame, lenses and finished product. My review stands. Trying to paint my review as fake because you cant find my screen name in your database is silly since that's not what's in your database. I will not post my real name here because I will not be badgered by the owner. read more

What can I say about second street Optique but just how wonderfully unique this place is!!! Mark is amazing to say the least. He has incredible selection of glasses and he is so dang accommodating! I got there just as they were closing and he literally stayed a little longer to help me find the perfect frames! This is my second time buying from this uniquely Long Beach shop and I love them so much! I found a pair and he showed me a version that was being discontinued and I got a great value for these frames! Thanks again Mark! I will be back! read more

I'm a 3 time repeat offender (LOL) . Going on 5 years now with 3 sets of frames + lenses from 2nd-SO. Great selection, great quality and fantastic service. Marc is a gem to work with and I will not go anywhere else when I go in for my 4th offence ( pair of frames + lenses ). Thanks again, Marc ! read more

I can highly recommend Optique and Marc. The store is a gem, the selection of frames is massive. The attention to finding you the right frame for your face is second to none. I have never had glasses fit me so well. I really can't find a reason to go anywhere else! read more

They are Helpful great customer service, their selection and quality frames are absolutely outstanding.

This was long overdue. I hardly ever leave reviews as I find that most places while satisfactory have never exactly exceeded my expectations when it comes to service and delivery. Until now. I first stumbled upon this place around 3 years ago while visiting Long Beach. As a long time near-sighted bespectacled nerd, I began transitioning out of the dreaded Costco, Kaiser optician appointments to move onto seeking more stylish and complimentary styles. I've visited many eyewear boutiques and opticians only to walk out disappointed and irked that no one seemed to give a damn about offering advice or insight on frames that would perfectly frame my Asian features and face shape. At Second Street Optique, Marc has always taken the time and patience to carefully assess how each handpicked frame is properly suited to enhance one's features and has always provided a solid honest opinion; Never inflicting pressure or upsell. He even pointed out my 2nd Second Street Optique frames which were Tom Fords on a 50% special seasonal sale. Remember Ollivander the wandmaker beelining from shelf to shelf, combing through and discarding each wand that was the faintest off or mismatched to ensure Harry Potter got THAT ONE TRUE wand to surpass all others? ...Yeah, thats Marc except with your specs. The review below in 2018 is absolute absurdity--- He's extremely kind, personable and knowledgeable especially compared to my other experiences elsewhere. In fact, I live in Sacramento and make a personal trek annually to Long Beach with the primary intention of seeking new frames and Marc's expertise whom I only trust. My latest trip for frames had me dragging my partner along with me who is a glasses wearer as well. Marc even took the time to pick out options for him that were functional, sensible, but stylish and appropriate for his line of work. So apart from the services that have far exceeded my expectations, as a glasses wearer the most obvious point of anxiety comes the question if your brand new spanking pair of glasses really elevates your entire look effectively. I should point out that I work in the healthcare industry with little room to show any quirks or personal style apart from things like glasses. EVERY PAIR Marc has assisted with picking out for me... has been complimented. I was even in the lab the other day and was stopped by a random lab personnel who paused and exclaimed: "I. love. your. glasses." and walked off. Yep. Please don't waste senseless time perusing Warby Parker like I did. If you want stylish advice and an amazing pair of spectacles, go here! read more

Terrible customer service experience. I called to ask a question about repairing my glasses and the person who I spoke with was rude and dismissive. Awful attitude and very unprofessional. Buyer Beware!!! read more

oh my oh my... Marc you really outdid yourself. I went in with little expectations on having my vintage 'art craft' sunglass lens replaced. He not only recommended a beautiful G15 lens to replace with but he also adjusted the frames to fit my face. Extremely reasonable pricing, and generous. He did a beautiful job with prudence and his excitement over the glasses was the cherry on top. He's a samurai in the realm of all things eye wear. GO TO HIM! read more

I stopped in last week because my glasses were loose on my face and asked for a recommendation on how I could fix it. The man that worked there told me he couldn't help me or even tell me anything since I hadn't purchased the glasses from them. I WAS ONLY ASKING FOR A RECOMMENDATION ON HOW I COULD FIX THE PROBLEM , I wasn't asking for a free service; just advice. He restated that he couldn't help me and that the business doesn't give free advice to people who aren't their customers. I understand store policy but I wasn't asking him to do anything other to talk to me. This place is not a friendly Belmont Shore business. read more

Marc was amazing to work with. His knowledge and style was next level. He set me up with some sick 1961 Oliver Goldsmiths army green and green polarized prescription lenses. Pure class and quality at Second Street Optique. I love my new sunglasses read more

Please be aware when shopping here. There is a certain clientele that they want to shop here. The way that clients are treated and discourage is very alarming considering the neighborhood. It's sad when you try to support small business and you come across someone like this. Please shop local but not here. read more

What can I say, I love my glasses! I highly recommend Second Street Optique. They have a lot of designer frames to choose from. Marc S is awesome he will find the glasses the fit your needs. read more

Second Street Optique - Thank you Second Street Optique. I will be back. - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Long Beach, California

Second Street Optique is hands down the best place to purchase eyewear. I lost a pair that I purchased from Second Street Optique and thought about being lazy and getting cheapies online..but I'm so glad I didn't! Mark has curated a stunning selection. The customer service is a huge part of why I will never go anywhere else. Mark is patient, kind, and honest, he's not pushy at all. I tried on a TON of frames & never once did he push me to hurry or pick a pair. I ended up purchasing two pairs of super cool glasses (which were finished VERY quickly) and couldn't be happier. read more

This review is long overdue! Marc was very warm, helpful, and knowledgeable about eyewear and style. He picked out maybe a half dozen to a dozen eyeglasses based on what I explained I was looking for and others he believed I may like. It was fun. I highly encourage you to make an appointment here (and with Marc). The service is exceptional and you'll definitely find a pair (or two) of glasses that you fall in love with...I did! Make sure to make an appointment in advance. Don't worry though, the website is very user friendly. read more

Just picked up my new Robert La Roche glasses. Tons of compliments every time I wear them. Marc and Cody fitted them to a T. It's been awhile since I purchased my last pair of glasses from them. Still loving those, but the technology has evolved, and the new lenses are like: WOW! Crystal clear! You can't find the selection anywhere else; not the usual mass stale "designer" junk other's peddle. Only problem is: I want to buy more! read more

I wish I could give Marc and his business 10 STARS!!! Originally found his services just from a Google search looking for funky and eclectic eyewear that my usual lens crafters would not have and this place had EXACTLY what I was looking for. Marc, the owner, carries styles you would not find just anywhere. I stayed in his store for about 15-20 min trying on frames, came out super excited about what he had recommended to me. He texted me a day early that my frames were ready! Everything was QUICK and EASY, the lens were BEAUTIFUL and LIGHTWEIGHT. His services were professional and felt personal, like the frames were made JUST for me, my face structure, and my personality. Not to mention, I bought another pair of sunglasses the same day I picked my eyeglasses up! He is THAT GOOD at what he does. The inside of his store has one of the raddest walls I have ever seen... NEVER GO TO ANOTHER EYEWEAR STORE!!! Marc has everything you will need and want !!! read more

Second Street Optique completely lost me as a customer. I purchased my last two pairs of frames --with lenses-- here. It had been a few years and I was looking to buy another pair. Not because I need them but because I like variety. And if I'm to be frank, the pair I purchased last I love, however I rarely wear them because the power is too strong in the lenses. After today, however, I will NEVER be back to this shop and will be sure to let anyone who asks know of the rudeness I experienced with the owner. A friend and I were on a walk (we exercise together once a week by taking walks through the neighborhood). I'd asked her if she'd mind looking at frames with me and so we went in to browse. I tried on a pair I thought I was interested in and took a picture and also took a picture of the style, since I don't bring my wallet with me when I'm walking and wanted to have the style number handy so I'd be able to call them later with my prescription information since I'd done that in the past, also. (it can be hard for me to get in based on their biz hours and my own) As we're browsing and I take a picture of myself in the frames the owner rudely says he doesn't allow any pictures inside the store. This, of course, comes as a complete surprise as I had purchased two pairs of glasses here in the past and took pictures prior to show my boyfriend for a second opinion. I remarked surprisingly that he'd let me take photos in the past and he said, again rudely "Not anymore" I was incredibly surprised and shocked by his demeanor and attitude. When I mentioned as much he acted as if he didn't care and basically told us to leave. I own a business in Long Beach and can not fathom ever speaking to a customer the way he did to me. It was gross. We ended up walking down the street to another optometry shop where I not only found an amazing pair of frames but was encouraged by the woman working to take as many photos as possible to make the best decision. Something I wholeheartedly appreciate since I always end purchasing higher end frames and my lenses are always $350+ in addition; I pay entirely out of pocket for all of my vision needs and my glasses are typically $750-$900. The right frame is an investment. Anyway, I'll never be back here. I'm disgusted by the experience I had today. read more

I 200% love this place, not only because of their selections of frames and great service, also Marc's personality. At my first visit to this place, he was really friendly and helpful yet he didn't put any pressures to purchase at all. He listened to me with all his attentions and picked a frame that fits perfectly to my face. He is really knowledgeable and understands which frame is good for your face shape. I am absolutely satisfied with my visit and purchase. I am not going to any other stores besides Second Street Optique. I enjoyed every single visits to this location. With no doubt, I've gotten lots of compliments for my Moscot frame (: You will love this place!! read more

Second Street Optique - I've ever posted a picture of myself on yelp, but I had to show how well this frame fits me! - Eyewear & Opticians Near Me - Long Beach, California

Got a really cool pair of Sol Moscot Lemtosh frames (with nose pads because I'm Asian and have a low bridge). Marc was so nice and helpful with selecting the perfect pair and color. He was super patient with me as I tried on so many pairs and asked his opinion on color and fit. Plus the prices were reasonable - definitely cheaper than the actual Sol Moscot store. Was nervous about going to a new eye glass store after going to the same place in NY for 8 years (when I lived there) because finding cool glasses for Asian faces is tricky. I'm so happy with my new glasses! read more

This location has recently went under a major remodel. Not only did the remodel bring a new, cool & open vibe, but it brought more inventory & selection with it. I saw brands and styles I didn't see here before. I don't really like wearing glasses, but this place had so much to try on, I ended up finding a pair that I actually like wearing. They were a Prada brand style. The guy behind the counter was friendly and seemed to know a lot about the products & brands he's selling. When I decided on the pair I wanted, they had the frames in stock already which I found cool since before I would have to wait and order them. If you're in the market for some new frames or eyewear this would be the spot to go. You can't miss it, since they have one of the coolest window displays on 2nd street! read more

I have been a client since 2012 and the service is impeccable. I had a new prescription, so I called Marc to make an appointment because I needed new lenses and frames. When I showed up for my appointment, Marc had already pre-selected some frames to try on. The frames were all laid out beautifully on trays and I didn't know where to begin. Because Marc knows my face structure and style so well, all the frames were gorgeous and fit me perfectly. Now I just had to pick a couple! After the lenses were ready, I set up a time to go in. As per usual, I was fit perfectly and the lenses were latest and greatest in Technology. Wow what a difference. I love shopping here because it's always a lovely experience. The quality speaks for itself. I highly recommend you make a appointment to see them. read more

I had a great experience getting a new pair of glasses here. I've always had trouble picking out new frames, but Marc was so helpful and patient, and made the process so much easier and enjoyable. Marc was very knowledgeable and provided details on each of the frames to help find the best choice. I was kept up to date on my order and received my new pair of glasses within a few days. I'm very happy with my new pair glasses! read more

Marc is just one of the most honest and nicest people I've worked with in a business. He's patient and willing to work with you on your budget. The best selection of high quality and stylish frames and lenses in the area! His selection is unbelievable! I was told my glasses " young me"- what more can you ask for! Remember- you get what you pay for- service and a quality product! Highly recommend Marc! read more
