I'm not sure what happened to this wonderful store I used to love. The merchandising was chaotic and the store offered none of the unique and special items that made it a go to for gifts and special hardware needs. At least the service was friendly.

On 1/5/24 my husband went in to the store to purchase Christmas lights that were in sale. When he approached the manager (Max) about price, the Max rudely said that someone should be at the counter to help. When he said there was nobody at the counter, Max appeared frustrated and after getting the price. Out of the corner of his eye, my husband noticed that Max was watching him and taking pictures of him. When he was noticed, Max then backed away and Susan approached him and said "so you are buying all of them, why are you buying all of them" in a very accusatory manner. When my husband replied that it was for our venue in Lockhart she raised her voice and rudely asked "where in Lockhart" three times. She was very rude and yelled at me which is not appropriate in a retail setting. He asked her to leave him alone (twice) so I could continue shopping. When he loaded up my cart with the lights and went to the counter she then continued to push and be rude and told the cashier that he yelled at her. The experience at the store was very negative, and I believe this may have been racially motivated as husband is Hispanic. It could be considered racial profiling because of the picture taking and being interrogated as to why he needed to buy the lights. This type of behavior is not ok and should not be tolerated. Do not shop at this store.

WHAT has happened to this shore?? I lived in Austin for 12 years, and used to come here routinely- for gifts, Household items, Holiday decor, etc.. We moved away, but I come back frequently, and I always pop into Breed & Co. And so I did again this visit- and wow! It felt like an awful mashup of a high end gift shop and a Dollar General. I couldn't believe it. The flow/ layout was completely changed, and there were shelves and cases shoved in everywhere they could fit them; and frankly it made the whole store feel cheap. Most of the merchandise came off as an afterthought - just shoved wherever it would fit. Won't bother going back next time I'm in town. What a shame to see such a local favorite go so shockingly down the tubes.

Went to exchange a gift. The other location on 29th said if they didn’t have what I wanted to come to this location to exchange my gift or have the store order what I want. I got here and they wouldn’t place orders under $100 and wouldn’t exchange or accept returns that were purchased at the other location. Extremely rude and unhelpful staff.

A feast for the gardening obsessed! Lush old oaks scattered throughout the property providing the perfect cover for shade needing plants, other areas full of sunshine for those lovers. A large variety of planters and pots to meet anyone's needs in addition to the miscellaneous whatnots. Such knowledgeable assistance around every bend. Go and enjoy!

Great store. Good customer service. Just wish they were big enough to put home Depot out of business.

Anyone getting married in Austin should first and foremost register at Breed's. Aside from practicality (you'll keep coming back), they have a curated selection of local and global luxury brands - Sferra, Lafco NY, unique porcelain and glassware. They also host some of the most friendly and helpful staff in the biz, feeling like a neighborhood mom & pop shop where you can grab some lovely stationery and handmade chocolates, in addition to your necessary hardwares. A retreat in a sea of alienating giants!

Best store ever - the staff is always so helpful and this is the place for ANY gift. Birthday, Baby shower and especially wedding. You won't be disappointed. I am a personal shopper for some of Hollywoods elite and this is where I have been getting my gifts for them as of recent. You won't be disappointed!
