My first time here I wasn't too sure what to expect but let me tell you how this place totally blew any opinions I had totally out of the water! They have so much here! The store is split between an Ace Hardware and a "home goods" side. The second one you walk in there is a plant nursery immediately to the left filled with so many plants, all beautiful colors and shapes! From plants in hanging baskets to outside statues and decorations. The plant nursery has a little bit of everything for all lovers of outdoor decor. Really what blew me away had to the little area off the right of the entrance that housed all the chocolates and seasonings. They had so many unique things here I was in shock. I always hate going to places that just offer the same things, salt and pepper, some butter, it gets so boring. Not at Bree's & Co. they had so many unique rubs, marinades and spices. Plus their tea is out of this world!!! The ace hardware side is exactly what you'd expect from ace hardware, but the employees here are so friendly and helpful! The employees at the front check out of Breed & Co are always so nice, and they remember me every time I come in which makes the experience that much nicer! You guys need to stop by, there are so many things appropriately priced and affordable it's crazy!!

One of my all time favorite stores. Best hardware store ever! Of course I go for all the other unique products they carry. Awesome sales too! Whether you need HVAC air filters, candles, queso or a succulent they've got it all!

A local stalwart of Austin. Whatever you’re looking for, this place has it. I don’t know how they fit literally everything you need into such a small place. Coming here is an absolute pleasure, especially if you’re used to going to Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thanks for staying strong and keeping this place locally owned.

I find the service is not what it was in the past. I have lived in the neighborhood for over 30 years and I am rarely greeted by staff. My husband frequents the store and he should be recognized by staff as a regular customer. He says that he also is rarely greeted by staff.

This is by far the best place to get advice on complicated hardware issues. The store has experienced career professionals in plumbing electrical and maintenance who know everything. They also cut glass in house.

Beware: False advertising: Website indicates ‘instock/ready for pick up today’ and product is not even stocked at the store. Classic bait advertising to get you in the store. Shame. Leaving 3 stars only because lady was nice.

Lots of different things found here. I went to get my keys copied and to buy a missing Ikea screw, and the worker helped me find basically exactly the replica of the screw I needed! It wasn't a perfect replica from ikea, but it was the same in every other way so that it fit into my furniture perfectly. They also have a knife sharpening machine, which is cool because I have some dull knives. They also have postcards for Austin and the state of Texas, which some people on postcrossing have wanted. They're beautiful postcards, but not cheap.

Beware of the bait and switch!Ace Hardware online said Breed had my product in stock for $18.99. They had six in stock but it rang up at $29.99. Store staff claimed it was a "different SKU." Practices like this are why small local businesses are being crushed by the big online retailers.

It was a store that contained anything you could need or want. Literally. Very clean, organized, well stocked, well staffed. The products were easily accessed, and easonably priced. Very cool store!

After waiting at the understaffed Lowe’s hardware store for 30 minutes, gave up and went to Breed & Company. What a difference; assistance as soon as I walked in; knowledgeable employees with the local touch and a very wide selection.

Fabulous. Esp since their ONLY rude cashier is no longer there. I've been going there it seems like for at least 40 years. So wonderful to have them so close. So SHOP there.

Breed saved the day again! Whenever I need some specific thing, help finding it and knowing how to use it, Breed comes through. Great sales staff-very capable, knowledgeable, and helpful. Thanks!

It's like Home Depot, the Garden Center, and William Sonoma had a baby. They really have EVERYTHING! So glad we stopped by.

Breed is the place to go for absolutely ANYTHING you might need, from hardware and paint to home decor and gifts. The staff is very helpful about answering questions and steered me to exactly the right products I needed to repair some furniture.
