Randomly popped into this place a few weeks back and fell in love with some frames among their huge yet super-curated selection. After returning home, I left a message for the shop inquiring about ordering a pair - Amanda immediately called me back and made the order happen with such ease. I'd taken a photo of myself wearing the frames I wanted and told her my prescription strength - she was able to do all the calculations for my lenses based on the photo I sent and we handled the invoice electronically. Throughout the whole process, she was super receptive, warm, knowledgeable, and helpful, ensuring me that if the lenses weren't perfect, we could always redo them. I went in to pick them up and wow, they are totally perfect! I've never had lenses that seemed so precise and well crafted. What's more, Amanda and her coworker were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We love visiting Petaluma regardless, but it's fun to have another excuse to head north from Larkspur. I'm a convert and now wouldn't even think of getting eyeglasses anywhere else. PS why are retail folks (and locals) so much friendlier in Petaluma than in Larkspur? Can we move up north like now, please? read more

I just had the best experience with Jesse at VEO Optics in DT Petaluma. The personalized and attentive service by every member of this family owned and operated biz was outstanding! I love my new Maui Jim prescription sunglasses!! Thank you Jesse, Melani, Amanda and the whole team! read more

Went into the Petaluma store and Jesse approached me asking if he could help, I showed him my Meta Raybans and explained I need them diagnosis's so I could get extended warranty on my credit card, He jumped on it right away, looked them over very carefully and gave me the diagnosis I needed! Then he wouldn't accept any money from me! Wow great service still exists! Go see Jesse he will take good care of you! Peter S read more

The selection of eye wear is exquisite and unique. The staff are all friendly, kind and helpful! They are so knowledgeable when it comes to fit and feel of glasses. The gifts in the store are all fun and creative. The shop itself is beautiful and such a cool experience! Check it out! read more

Do yourself a favor and let the staff help you pick out a pair of glasses. They know their stuff down to the T. Jesse was like a personal stylist, but for glasses - who knew! He helped me find a pair that complements the shape of my face and suits my personality. Not only are they talented, but family run and operated, down to earth, and super kind. I'll be coming back for sunglasses for sure. read more

Veo is fantastic. First, you are drawn in by how gorgeous and unique the space is, a reimagined gorgeous bank turned into one of the most beautiful inviting spaces to try on eyeglasses, get some lavender satchels for your home or unique finds like a real leather cap for all seasons and an ever lasting pencil not to mention the best pair of eye glasses I have ever and the entire team is welcoming, knowledgeable and very supportive especially Jesse who truly cares about every one being happy with their glasses. I had on one occasion lost my glasses and they sent me a new pair of glasses promptly as well. Loved the music and their dog in the vault also. read more

This shop is so cute and I wanted so many pairs of sunglasses! I came in over the weekend around dinnertime and Ryan P. was so kind and helpful. He showed me some sunglasses, went over how sunglasses should fit around the face, and adjusted a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses for me. I really appreciated how much he validated my sunglasses purchase (which I didn't purchase from his shop) and was also so welcoming if I had any issues with my sunglasses in the future. Totally loved his hospitality and I'll be coming back again the next time I'm in DT Petaluma. Thanks so much, Ryan! read more

Veo Optics is very, very high quality. Not only do they have a long history, but they have an on-site lab and the willingness to attract talented employees. In a world where most stores are just shipping out frames (I mean, I like Warby Parker but that's what they do and Lenscrafters now does), to have people you can talk to who are really familiar in how lenses are made and what adjustments can be done... well, that is very hard to find. Also notable is that the store is very cool, but in an authentic way. It's clear that employees like Ryan P. tend to really care. It's just a much different experience and often physical result from other eyeglasses stores. read more

The most beautiful optical shop there ever was! And they really focus on finding glasses that fit your unique face! Located in a historic bank building in the heart of downtown Petaluma, it maintains the grandeur of the bank but adds a modern design aesthetic. This family-owned shop offers an extensive variety of high-end eyewear. Not sure where to start? They will happily help you. I think it was Ryan who helped me. We did a super quick consultation so he knew my likes and wants. Then he and I separately took trays around the store to pick glasses that we thought I'd like. We reconvened and I tried them on. He told me what worked best and why given my face shape. I didn't make a purchase yet as I was waiting for my insurance to renew. I can't wait to go back and get some hip new frames! Beautiful space, incredible inventory of glasses, and exceptional customer service! Thank you! read more

This former bank building is now quite spectacular. The location is very stylish and supplied with amazing furniture, gifts and optical wear. Jason is very knowledgable and taught me quite a bit about selecting eye wear. He painstakingly fitted me out and the glasses arrived in Palm Desert as promised. Something wasn't quite right and Amanda(phone) graciously walked me through the easy return process. The glasses arrived here after a little correction. The service/experience was impeccable. Highly recommended. read more

My family and I popped into Veo Optics and walked out blown away. Cool family-owned spot with great decor and a super welcoming vibe - instantly felt different from the big chains. Ryan was our guy the whole time. Super chill, zero hard sell, and incredibly patient while we took forever picking out the perfect pair of sunglasses for my dad. We were also thoroughly impressed with everything else in the store, the frames are crazy lightweight, stylish as hell, and the prices are actually reasonable Honestly, if we didn't live 3 hours away I'd already be back buying another pair for myself. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't regret it. Fully recommended! read more

What a great spot. Amazing customer service. Helpful and attentive. Great selection of glasses and leather products. Got my husband a beautiful leather bag for our anniversary and they engraved it on the spot! read more

I wandered in here one afternoon, killing time. The salesperson, Ryan, offered to clean my glasses for me, and as he brought them back, he said, "Are these transition lenses? You must take good care of these. There were only a few scratches. Do you mind if I shine a UV light on them? I want to see what color they are." "Sure," I said. I was really just killing an afternoon, nowhere to be. He shined a light and gasped and said, "Girl, these are old! How have you taken such good care of these??" "Oh, does the transition fade over time? They're just cheap glasses I bought because I broke my Tommy Fords." He gave me a Look and said, "Do you have them with you ? I have a magician who might be able to fix them." As it turned out, I DID have my very broken glasses in my car. I've kept them for years now hoping something miraculous like this would happen. I brought him the frames and told him that my optometrist said there was no way to fix these. He looked at them and said, "I've never seen a pair of glasses we couldn't fix. If we can't fix these, I'll refund your money." A few weeks later, he returned to me, perfectly functional, as though they had never been broken, my beloved Tom Fords. Would that all customer service experiences exceeded expectations such as this one. read more

Hope you are there when the live piano is playing, it makes the experience exceptional! So many options, staff is beyond helpful, not pushy. Plus the building is stunning. read more

Highly recommend! I just happened to wander into this store while I was checking out the area and everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I don't even need glasses, but I'm almost 44, so I figured chances are good that I will someday soonish, so why not figure out what frame style looks good on me. Two individuals came up and offered advice and feedback that was genuinely kind and helpful (not at all pushy). I will absolutely be back when the time comes and in the meantime will recommend them to others. read more

Its no surprise to me that Jesse and Eye has a 5-star rating. The entire staff are incredibly friendly, and I can't remember the last time I met people so single-minded on making sure the customer had a perfect experience. I had a difficult prescription and they bent over backwards to make sure they got it right and that I was happy with their work. Add to that their amazing selection of frames, their focus on the local community and the architectural wonder of their building, and I cant imagine why anyone would go anywhere else for their glasses. read more

Amazing store! Ryan fit my friend and I with the perfect sunglasses He rocked and new everything read more

Growing up in Petaluma, I love to check out the downtown area whenever I'm back for a visit. I saw Jesse and Eye, a newer addition, and checked it out. The building is historic on its own but what they did with the inside is quite impressive. The atmosphere is quite luxurious for an eyeglass shop. It's a shopping experience. Jesse, the owner of the shop, is knowledgeable and welcoming to all customers that come in. Might I also mention the cute shop dog that was there to greet as well! Jesse helped guide me to some sunglasses that would compliment my face shape. I tried them on and he was correct. There is plenty to choose from and he gave me multiple frames to try. Good frames are an investment and you are paying for the service as well, but worth the value. read more

I made an appointment with Veo over the phone after seeing the YELP rating. I did not realize that Veo was the lavish shop in the old bank in downtown Petaluma. When I arrive I almost walked right out. I was sure it would be out my price range and I would be out of my element, however, when I arrived the staff made me feel immediately comfortable and really took care of me in regards to price. I told Ryan what I was looking for and he went to the back and grabbed a pair of frames and got it right on the first try. I waited no more than a couple of weeks for my prescription lenses. The team also went the extra mile on a few other things My daughter loved being at the store with the piano and parrots. Not to mention, the fun non-eyewear merchandise. Everything about my experience was wonderful. read more

I don't know if this is the greatest optical shop in the universe but it is certainly the greatest optical shop ever in my universe! The former bank space housing the shop is glorious. The eyewear selection is wonderfully curated. What stands out even more is the high level of service provided. Enter Amanda. This woman knows her stuff! I've been wearing eyeglasses for a very long time and have never dealt with someone that was both so skilled at and interested in providing frame options that flattered my face. Amanda is knowledgeable, professional, and makes the experience feel like you're hanging out with a friend. I am utterly smitten with Veo Optics. read more

I was looking for a good pair of blue-light blocking eyeglasses for everyday wear and an updated pair of stylish and comfortable sunglasses. I was fitted and styled by Jesse and his team, blown away by the care, attention, and service provided.

Ryan was great! Really helpful at insightful for finding glasses that suit your face and highlight your features.

I walked in the building because I haven't been inside since I was a child and the building was a bank. I'm so happy that I did! I met Ryan who was very friendly and ended up tightening my glasses, in addition to cleaning them, discussing lens care, and complementing my frames. He even gave me a lens cloth on my way out. Excellent customer service! Thank you Ryan! read more

Loved my experience at this shop. The vibe is stylish and thoughtfully curated--like a boutique with a serious eye for design and detail. The staff went above and beyond, offering honest feedback and helping me find frames that not only fit perfectly but made the whole process feel fun and easy. I left feeling confident and taken care of. A total must-visit next time you're in Petaluma. read more

Great, friendly and prompt service. Jesse was a huge help in tightening my sunglasses which were slipping off after years of wear. He also generously offered to add a missing screw. The whole service was speedy and amazingly free of charge. It is rare to experience such friendly, professional and white glove service. The store is gorgeous and filled with beautiful bespoke glasses one rarely sees at big box stores. Giving this establishment 5 stars for excellence on all fronts. I will be back! read more

I have found my eyewear home. Seriously, I stumbled on the shop while out with a friend. I live in Bodega Bay, but Jessie and Eye is a *destination* eyewear (and lifestyle) shop. I met Jessie first, who cleaned my scratched up Ray-Bans in their eyeglass "car wash" machine and fitted me for two of his suggested frames for my face. They are perfect. I went in tonight to have some cleaning/adjusting on an Rx pair and one of my two new pairs. Ryan helped me and is super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. They know what they are doing and how to make eyewear fun, functional, AND stylish. read more
