BREED Reviews

Fun, quirky Austinesque Ace Hardware. Check it out.

Love to browse...wonderful gifts...my best source for polyurethane varnishes

Great place that has all the hardware other places don't stock. If you need hard to find hardware come here! Friendly helpful staff as well!

Shoutouts to Jerry who ignores you as you stand right at his register then acts really annoyed if you ask for help sorry to interrupt your podcast bro

This is an amazing store. You can spend hours exploring. Be sure to check out the garden center.... More like a zen garden

Nice little hardware store if you need the basics. A little more expensive than home Depot but the down home service can't be beat.

I would love to rate breed and company on 29th Street higher, because it is an exceptional store. However, my most recent experience there left much to be desired. let me start by saying I'm a 6ft tall 270 lb 40 year old bearded man. It's rare that I get attitude thrown my way. However I was having problems finding the wheelbarrow I wanted to purchase so I asked the young lady in lawn and garden to help me. We checked every inch of that store to no avail. Then she asked an older gentleman if he knew where it was. His condescending attitude toward her infuriated me but I said nothing. We moved on to another older gentleman who worked there and ask the same question. Yet again his condescending attitude toward the young woman's question was wholly unacceptable.

One of my favorite home goods and nursery places to shop in central Austin.

Great store friendly staff. I've Delivered,and shop every time I'm in area for the past 14yrs.

Amazing little shop. Wow. I kind of regret leaving this review. This is a place you want to keep to yourself.

they have all kinds of stuff!! the paint guy really knows what is up. if you are looking for something obscure and can't find it even at the regular box stores, then go here. i'll bet they have it.

I found exactly what we needed to plant our garden.

Friendly helpful staff that's able to find what you're looking for!

This is a great neighborhood hardware store. They sell just about everything, and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They occasionally have good sales as well. For instance, I just bought a quart of Valspar paint--which is currently 50% off. Shop here instead of big-box stores.

I love this place, you can get almost anything here. From tools to Fine China. Great place for a wedding registry because he can go to the hardware store and you can pick out home decor all in one stop. So close to UT you can walk. And the service is amazing!

Convenient for students and family living in the area

An unusual- but perfectly logical -combination of hardware store and home interior supplies. You can find everything in this place, it's pretty incredible.

Very good store this store is always very helpful I have never had a problem with staff there always willing to help and if you have a problem with a job you are doing they will go above and beyond try to help you figure it out

Great little neighborhood hardware store. Nice selection.

This place is great! You can find any tool or craft needed to finish a household chore OR find a gift for anyone on your list. I cannot recommend Breed & Co. more.

Wow! Visited this store for the first time. Incredible.

Breeds is now Ace Hardware. They are close in Central Austin and likely have what you need.

Nice place You can find a bit of everything. Great customer service

Okay, it's a great hardware store right? BUT they also have a great candy selection! Love it. Super friendly employees.

Friendly and knowledge staff that will help you without asking for anything concerning hardware, paint, tools, etc.

Legit hardware store. Had the socket set and tire iron I needed.

I loved this place they have Everything and there staff was super knowledgeable of all there products. I highly recommend them.

If you have questions and want help figuring out what to get, Breed & Company is the place to go. They have the basics as well as more offbeat items; also things a homeowner or renter from the University might want. An ACE hardware store, they can get just about anything you need.
I live in South Austin, but often come here rather than Lowe's or Home Depot because of the service and home-town feel.

This store is a favorite of mine. Half hardware store, half boutique shop, and half kitchen supply store, it is a fun place to peruse! In one half, it is fully equipped with all the hardware essentials, making it a fully functioning hardware store with helpful staff members. In the other half, home decor and kitchen supplies fill the store with cute and tempting buys. Just as good for plumbing repair as it is for holiday gifts. Also sells high-quality Case knives!

Love this place . Every single employee is extremely helpful and know what they are talking about.

Great little shop that has a little something of everything.

Everything you need, and friendly folks to help you find it!

Love this store while it does not have everything you might need if your doing a project in your house but close and prices are comparable to the big stores

Super convenient hardware store for west campus, Phill was super nice and incredibly helpful, he really went the extra mile to help me out and gave me an even better solution than what I had in mind even though it was a few minutes before closing on the weekend

Ace hardware practices in bad faith. Sold me a product at a discount online, emailed me to pick up and then refused to release the actual item when I showed to pick up curbside. Stated that it was a glitch in their promo codes and item should have been excluded. News flash -- you sold the item, honor it. Also note -- ACE is a huge corporation and it was a $5 discount on the item, it wouldn't have put them in bankruptcy and probably worth customer loyalty and satisfaction. Given the significant inconvenience, I would never shop at ACE for future purchases and will definitely share my experience with others.

Breed and is Austin icann - great service & product. One of the best local center Austin hardware and more stores in Austin, TX

I love this store. They have great gift ideas for weddings, bridal showers and house warming parties. The staff is helpful and friendly.

Love this little store. It's pretty small and the items are expensive, but it quite a bit of charm and there are not many other hardware stores in the area.

A hardware store that is there to help. High end home decor is fabulous. Chocolatier is divine. If you've never been you this upscale, down to earth home improvement store, you haven't been to Austin.

Normally a five star experience, but it ranked a bit lower this time because the garden center inventory was less than a quarter of what is usually available. Few plants.

Dont have any ac parts though it is advertised that they carry them in store online

They have a really nice gift shop. Kind of expensive for a hardware store though.

I just love this place - every time I go! We went for the bucket sale, and took time to figure out what we wanted. Everyone is so nice, and the items they carry are high quality! No wonder we read about retail stores going out of business these days! Everyone was so friendly! Wish I had bought more in my bucket! Next time, it will be full! Also, have been to the Westlake store and only have great things to say. This is not a paid advertisement! LOL!

Breed & Company is great! I get all my Traeger accessories and pellets from them. They are always stocked, and if not you can order online via Ace and curbside or delivery is available. Awesome place for tools and home improvement projects!

Awesome staff!

This place has the best hardware section. If you need it. They probably have it.

Excellent employees and range. Will come back again

For decades, Breed & Co has been my go-to place for quality merchandise and solid advice. Today, though, I see we ve gone to a store full of nervous youngsters continually speaking furtively into their tiny black walkies as they rush by, ignoring customers. What are they talking about, and why is it all so urgent? Is an Apple Store Breed s new model? Hardware to these clerks is over-priced chocolates and crystal vases (pronounced vozzes). None of them would know the difference between a rain gauge and coffee filters, neither of which were in stock. New management, please.

Okay so yes it does have normal Ace Hardware and garden. However, the store is far nicer with lots of high end home goods, cooking supplies, decorations, and food.

Parking is always horrible here and expect to be surrounded by tons of soccer mom's in range rovers.

Worth going to for basic home goods, advice, or something to top off your home.

everyone here is nice and really helpful. i go here for all my kitchen, garden, and hardware needs.

Ace hardware and also a great place for gifts and other cool items! Great spot for decor and holiday items as well!! Great people, too! Very helpful nice and knowledgeable

This sweet shop is like a garden boutique! Beautiful selection of pottery plants and delightful items for your entire home! The staff rocks! Very kind and knowledgeable. True Austin TX experience!

AC filters, ball bearings, copper fittings, drain pieces, electrical fixtures, garden stuff, hosing, inside plants, jig saws, knobs, light bulbs, measuring tape, nails, O-rings, pipe, quill brushes, rug cleaners, sledge hammer, tubing, utility knives, vent covers, washers, Xterior paint, yard lights, zinc scews & more !!
See what I did there !!??
You with me er nah...

One of my favorite hardware/home decor stores. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable and almost always find what I need and usually leave with a couple things I want. Definitely recommend.

I feel like a kid in a candy store in this place. I can always find things for any project, without buying 24 if I only want 2. It's like an old-time hardware store with helpful people and everything you need.

Great local hardware and home and garden store with knowledgeable staff.

This place has an answer to just about.any reasonable request.There are seasoned employees that have more.lnowledge than you.could ever find on.the internet.

I had no less than four associates ask me if I needed help, and when I told each one what I was looking for, they knew exactly where to take me. This is also one of the very nicest hardware stores I've ever seen!

If you need a niche repair item & don't want to buy it online, this store will probably have what you need.

I guess that I should say, more accurately, that my wife loved it. Having collected numerous place settings throughout her life she thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected displays of fine China offered at this Austin hardware store of all places!

A knowledgeable person helped me find every item in my list and suggest better alternatives. I will never go to Home Depot if Breed & Co. carries the item I need.

Part hardware part gift shop. So unique and quite unexpected. I love shopping here.

Always have what I need when doing a home project. Quick and easy.

The most reliable place for a few tools / hardware stuffs here and there. Easy access from campus and friendly staff who know a lot. Always leave this place happy thanks

First time here and Great place and friendly employees. They'll take the time to help you and get to know you, great selection of tools. Just like in the good old days of a neighborhood store. Thumbs up guys!
