Cubitts Edinburgh Old Town

Such a discovery! If you are looking for new spectacles this is the place. So neat still trendy designs at a very reasonable price.Martin, the manager is amazing. He gives space to look around but also is aware if you need advice or assistance.With your new spectacles you will receive the case, a tote bag, a magazine and a cleaning cloth and spray, that can be refill for free if you live in the UK!A must, during your shopping day at Edinburgh.

I've been passed by this shop multiple times during my stay in Edinburgh. The last day of my stay, I decided to discover this cool shop for a try. I didn't expect to get anything at the first place since I've found difficulty to find a right frame in general. The staff was super friendly and let me browsed freely. I tried few pairs of glass frames and I was surprisingly felt very comfortable on my face. I decided to pick one before leaving the shop. Steph was super sweet and patient to help me finding a right one. She gave me professional suggestion to help me making decision easily. The price is very reasonable as the frame felt well-made. The packaging was fantastic including a nice metal glasses box, tote bag, glasses cloth, lens cleaner spray bottle (glass bottle!) and magazine. Steph told me that they are opening one in NYC in Spring 2024 which I can continue receiving the after sale service in the states including re-polish the frame! What a super customer service I've ever heard!Great brand, great design/quality and great customer service!

What an amazing experience I had here. The shop is small and surprisingly multi-leveled. The lighting is perfect for the lenses to shine. I walked in and the two very nice people working there were kind and attentive. The gentleman who assisted me through my purchase was patient and informative about the process. I would 100% recommend going here for your next pair.

Great shop and amazing customer service - top job Steph!Will definitely get Cubitts once back in London

I was put off at first by the up-market branding, thinking it would be super expensive. In fact, although they're definitely not a budget brand, they had a great £150 range, which is not bad at all. And it came with a lovely tote bag, a cleaning cloth and infinite refills of cleaning fluid, and top-class customer service to boot!

Such a pleasant and nice team. Steph & Anny helped me, though they didn't get any payment. Beautiful shop, highly recommend.

Great experience here! I was so excited to see this shop open as I could easily travel from Glasgow to try on and buy frames that are more to my taste than most high st places. My only tiny gripe was that I initially felt there was not enough of the cool colours on display that I had seen on the website but this is down to space, and Ed and Sarah quickly brought out so many other frames and styles that I was after. They went above and beyond to accommodate my pickiness, spending time with me to try on a million different frames and I could not have appreciated their patience and offerings more. Maybe their displays will change after they gather some more sales data! I got two frames and already have two other styles noted that I would love to get next time. Although prices are about to go up unfortunately so will need to keep this in mind, but glasses are good investments as a wardrobe staple. Similarly when I went to pick up my frames and get adjustments the ladies that served me were lovely (didn’t get their names). I will be back!

Great store and amazing staff -Ed, Steff and Martin. Great service and super friendly staff. They were patient and gave the right support. Great funky collection of specs

I’m visiting from the States and dropped my prescription sunglasses, popping out one of the lenses. The amazing people at Cubitts took such good care of me — reinserting the lens, cleaning the glasses and really saving the trip! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Really cool opticals and such a well designed shop! Martin and Edward were so friendly and helpful! I love my new shades and hope Cubitts open in NYC one day!
