Gosh, I've been coming to this Bering's location for I guess I would say now decades, wow! There are so great benefits in coming here to get just about anything you want and in addition ask questions to understand if you have the best option. Parking is close lot so you can get in and out without having to walk acres across a parking lot and the store has lots of helpers / staff if you get stumped. If there isn't anyone proximal, they'll find the expert for that area, lickety split. This place covers the whole gambit of items your needing be it hardware, outdoor living, kitchen, party and paper, baby & kid's items. The list goes on. I particularly shop in the lighting and cleaning section, but I enjoy the coffee and chocolates. They have a few roast choices of what they put out for their daily coffee and allows me some time to chit chat with either the people there or the service attendant. Prices are a bit higher, but you get quick and quality service. I've read some of the other lower rated reviews and it seem many folks have a high sense of fragility over stupid sh..t! Oh the entitlement..... If you get the opportunity, come shop here or give it a walk through the many little sections and see what you can find and use. read more

I stumbled upon a potato cookbook at Berings which will be perfect for bébé and I. Gotta love a good and hearty potato recipe, especially with cozy autumn around the corner. The colorful wall of cookbooks is such a delight. To be fair, I visited today in hopes of finding a spicy salsas & moles cookbook, which I found on their website. But it was nowhere to be found within the brick and mortar shoppe. Alas, we settled for the savory potato book. The autumnal kitchen aprons piqued my attention and I may revisit pretty soon. Everything is becoming gold and orange within the shoppe. The large green parrot at the shoppe is quite amusing and adorable. We love interacting with him. It's always fun to visit Bering's, they have something for everyone. They often have deals as well, talk about sweet! Oh and don't forget the coffee and chocolates. They have handmade chocolates, biscotti and local coffee. The culinary equipment here is quite nice, whether you're looking for a new teapot, knife set or mugs, bowls. They often have food sample displays during the weekend as well, in particular, Saturday morning. Come check it out! read more

Wow! I came here for a 2 gallon sprayer for my garden and walked out with $170 in descressionary spending! And it was all good. I got a new spatula for cooking, and some cherries for my olde fashioned and a bunch of gift items for Christmas. Wow! read more

I love this store always however this was the first time at this location. I bought a beautiful gift and it was supposed to be gift wrapped . I was told that it would take one hour for gift wrapping so I decided to come back another day to pick it up . I went today to be told thst they could not find my gift . They looked everywhere could not find it . Finally someone told me thst a staff had placed it back on the showroom and now it has been purchased . The s te add member that helped me was Mathias , he made my catastrophic experience a pleasant one in the end. I wish I had taken my gift with me that day . There was no explanation as to why the other staff never placed my gift back on the showroom when it was paid for . I'll think twice before I go back . read more

Eclectic mix of household and specialty items are abundant in this Westheimer store down the street from the Galleria. Was pleasantly surprised at the amazing customer service as we were just looking and had at least 6 friendly employees come to ask us for help. We tried coffee from the barrister, and he gave us a thorough overview of where to find things in the store. Very impressive!! They offer some high-end cooking ware from France , monogrammable cutting boards , a nice selection of hardware, and even items for your garden. I loved their selection of spices and even found a brand that can not find any more at my local HEB. To the right of the store in the next building, they had a chef cooking fajitas and making salad with dressing for you to try from the store. In the next building they now have a mancave worth seeing and a section with many baby items and decorative card items with stationary. We even learned this store started as a hardware store in the 1940s and has evolved over the years to serve the community.I appreciated that they had security present as Westheimer can be somewhat unsafe and the customer service was impressive. Parking : plentiful Customer service: Excellent Return; most likely read more

Excellent service and high quality products. Great hardware and wedding gifts selections.

Very experience but the service and people there are really knowledgeable and it's the best coffee beans on the planet!

Amazing store and employees are courteous.Sample fresh coffee is delicious.Store well organized and clean

After years of my mother raving about this place and how she always finds the most special gifts here, I finally stopped in. Located off Westheimer in an unassuming building is housed a really unique place for home decor, china, appliances, patio furniture, coffee; you name it, they have it. Really. No kidding. The sales people are all wonderfully friendly, multi generational and helpful. It feels like you're in a different world when you're in the store. It really resonates like you're in a small town, where everybody knows your name. As far as gifts, Bering's is full of all kinds of gifts ranging from cute hand towels, bathroom accessories to fine china. Speaking of fine china, this is my most favorite part of the retail experience. Their china department was so elegant with beautiful table and shelf displays. So pretty, I almost purchased a set of china even though I had no use for it lol. I can go on and on about this place as there's an experience down every aisle, so make sure to stop in the next time you're in the area. If you're looking for a one stop gift shop experience where they give you personalized service, I think you'll enjoy the experience. PRO TIP Grab some of the the Green Chile tamales when the pop up store is open. Pretty tasty. read more

Great experience shopping on their wedding registry service. They were my gift and help me with it to the car!

I have two kids and was able to get only one yeti rambler on the yeti site (due to color preference) but my other daughter wanted purple (which yeti didn't have) so I moved heaven and earth to find the purple yeti at Bering's. Even paid $15 shipping. But Bering's reached out days later to tell me they had no purple yetis in stock, after confirming. Now I have to get another and pay shipping again. Terribly disappointed that they could not provide this information from the beginning. read more

I love this place. It has all the nick-nacks you may ever need. Today I was there to replace my car key fob battery -- this is the only place I know of where they will do it for you. Everyone in the store is very helpful and friendly. read more

If Home Depot, Kuhl-Linscomb and Williams-Sonoma had an orgy, Bering's would be the love child! There's really no other place like Bering's in Houston. It has so many cool things, you'd get lost (happily) for hours on end! I've gone in once to buy electrical outlets and left with salsa LOL. Another time, I went in to buy address numbers and left with an incense burner! On top of all the cool stuff they have, their staff is all so very friendly, inviting and helpful. It's been "in the family" for 3 generations so far! I just love this place! read more

I had the rudest experience with the man working the coffee station. First he ignored me while I stood there. When he finally acknowledged me, he proceeded to be condescending and rude. When I told him what level to have my coffee grinder he mocked me. I finally gave up and said he could grind the coffee how he sees fit. Then he mocked me again. After he finished grinding the coffee he turned is back to me, and didn't let my finish my ordering. read more

We were here just to browse. Candy shop was excellent, especially the brags. Friendly staff.

Bering's has it ALL!!!!! Not only is this a hardware store, but I can also shop for my stationery, clothing, bags, baby clothes, home decor, wedding registries, men's clothing and literally so much more!!! They carry the best brands, and especially hard to find and small businesses! They also have an amazing farmers market every week!!!! It's one of the things I look forward to doing!! The cherry on top is how amazing & warm their employees are! Everyone is extremely kind, and gracious! You can also easily find a Bering's employee unlike the corporate hardware type stores!!! I would absolutely recommend Bering's & I also suggest clearing your schedule for a few hours or even a day because that's how long you'll be in there discovering all the amazing items! read more

Today I needed a very specific plumbing part. I could not find it at conventional plumbing stores so I called Berings. They did not have the part however an incredibly kind gentleman in the plumbing department directed me to Hall's sprinklers and they did have the part. This allowed me to facilitate the repair and help one of my friends stop paying an incredibly high water bill. Thank you Joe in plumbing. read more

I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years. I encouraged my daughter to register for her wedding. It was an awful 18 month experience accumulating with today & the worse customer service I have ever received from the Mgr of the store. I will no longer shop here. And will encourage others to do the same especially the bridal registry department. read more

Who doesn't like Bering's? This place has something for everyone. From women's, men's and babies clothing to outside furniture to stationary they really.do have it all. Besides having it all, their customer service is bar none one of the best in the retail space. Their employees are always so cheerful and eager to help with everything even if it is not their department. I order all my Crane & Co. Stationary here and pick up stock items as well. They always have a great selection on hand. I also like to get fresh hand made chocolates and items for BBQ's here. The selections are really good! Wedding and gift registry is fun too as you can find everything you need to decorate and stock a complete house. If you've never been to a Bering's, do yourself a favor and stop by. It's like a Buc'ees on crack!!! read more

I just wanted to state my experience. Me and my mother went to the coffee section because we love to buy aromatic coffee from Berings. There was an employee stocking coffee and we were waiting for her attention. As we were waiting I noticed an array of cups and a coffee pump so I figured it was a sample. I grabbed one of the disposable cups and proceeded to pump coffee inside it. Only when I pumped coffee into the cup the lady ran towards me and told me I am not allowed to touch the cups and that they need to serve me. She told me to toss the cups I touched and and then handed me a sample. To add to her rudeness she did not offer my mother a sample afterwards. Berings should have placed a sign stating that we are not allowed to grab a sample because of Covid. I did not appreciate her rude combative attitude. You lost one loyal customer. read more

This store has anything you need and the personnel is there for you. Great place for " how to"repairs and upgrades. You can always find something intriguing to take home. read more

Located just west of the Galleria, Berings is basically an upscale hardware store. It's like Ace Hardware but with many more fine items to choose from. Berings has a section entirely devoted to fine china and silverware, much like you would find at Macy's, Dillard's or Nordstrom. During the holidays, this entire china/silverware section is beautifully decorated with various Christmas wares. They really do have some very unique and elegant ornaments. Berings also has a wonderful coffee/truffles section. Some of the best chocolate truffles you will find in Houston and arguably some of the best coffee beans too. For everyday hardware, you can find the same stuff at cheaper prices at other hardware stores. read more

Setup: rare item search The good: This place is way bigger than I thought - don't forget the additional building in the back. The staff is very friendly and helpful. All kinds of fascinating things that you didn't think you needed are amongst the shelves. The bad: The item I was looking for was online, but unavailable - because it had been discontinued by the manufacturer for 4 YEARS. The staff knew this and let me know right away, but seemed to have no way of getting it off their site. Observations: Pricing can be on the high side. Expect to physically go to the store to buy in case the item doesn't exist. Store hours are pretty short. read more

Recently I went to my favorite one stop hardware store combined with a luxury gift department. I needed several high efficiency cleaning items for my home. I looked around and decided that I needed assistance to find a solution for my specific issues. There is always a very competent sales person available. I was so fortunate to have Alfred available to assist me with my issues. I informed him that I have a Baker dinning table that has a relatively large smokey white spot area. I was not sure if it was caused by heat or water. I had personally tried, without success for a year, every manner offered on the internet to remove this stain. Alfred recommended the Natchez Solution. With one application this long term annoyance disappeared. Alfred also helped me with fabulous products for leather, sterling, and brass. Alfred cut short the time I needed for my shopping needs by at least 50%. In addition, he provided me with the best advice and product selection to resolve my specific cleaning issues. I thank you Alfred! read more

Visited the store with my husband and walked around for almost 15 minutes to be greeted by NO ONE. While I saw many items that peeked my interest, I refused to purchase as the store employees could learn a thing or two about service. Was very very disappointed. read more

I have always loved Berings and even registered there for my wedding. I went in to return 3 things from my registry and overheard the gift lady talking bad about me with other employees when she thought I had left. It was truly embarrassing and I will never go back there. read more

Amazing folks .... prices *might* be 20% higher than Home Depot, BUT: I went in with a pic of the commode mechanism which was making a hissing sound, not leaking as far as I could tell. Instead of replacing the entire contraption for $25 (ala Home Depot with help/ personnel being far/ few between), Gene advised to replace a rubber washer for $3.95! No tools required, 3 minutes later problem resolved!! :-) Love Gus, Gene, Helena, Mike (no particular order) ... treasures of the Houston home repair/ maintenance scene If you're able to use a coupon, great, you've easily matched Home Depot pricing. However, per above example and oftentimes without a coupon, their prices are in line with other firms. read more

This is much, much more than a hardware store! Gifts, hardware, electronics, yard items, and even gourmet candy are available here! The customer service here is awesome & I truly appreciate that. Do yourself a favor & go!!! read more

Great upscale hardware store with all kinds of unique finds. Some of my favorite things here are the truffle/chocolate counter, the gourmet coffee, and something silly.. if you want to get a spare key made they have tons of the cute, printed keys to choose from. They also have a great selection of cleaning supplies for high end finishes and furniture, for example wood cleaner that is wax free, oil free, etc. and granite counter top cleaners. read more

Bering's - Easter chocolates! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Houston, Texas

Always have great experiences when I go to Bering's! Their Snickerdoodle coffee is my all-time favorite - every time I share it or gift it to someone, it gets rave reviews for how great it tastes and smells. I also love their tableware section; I expanded several of my collections with their help, and always receive great customer service. They've also started doing a Farmer's Market on Thursdays from 11:30-1:30 with a diverse group of vendors I definitely want to try - Pudgy's Fine Cookies, Sebesta Farms, and Bread Man Baking Company definitely piqued my interest, so can't wait to go check it out next week! read more

If you want the best experience at Berings, look for Ken! Ken is an expert and is very knowledgeable. I've been to places where I don't feel welcomed or they don't even bat an eye but Ken is just awesome! He is so kind and will help you feel at home without a doubt! read more

Not one "hello", "welcome to Bering's".. I was in the store for 15 minutes or so... I passed several store team mates and not even a simple greeting! Wow! And we are heading into the Christmas season and people come to find nice items but who want to spending money in a place that has subpar, disheartening customer service... Maybe all the rumors about this business is true ( that customers of color are treated differently)... Thanks but no thanks... You have very nice merchandise but it doesn't overweigh your treatment of customers read more

Today I was shopping in this store; I'm a regular customer with an account. This store is a fairly high end gift, hardware, housewares and has a nice selection if you don't mind paying a bit more. I'm posting this because I was taken aback by one of their sales associates today. I was looking for rim salts for margaritas. Now mind you this is not a liquor store however they have every kind of food related salts. They have a wide selection of novelty food items. I asked the man behind the counter where they sell coffee and candy if they have salts for margaritas. In a flat, almost rude voice he said "We don't carry those kinds of items. You need to go to Specs Liquor or HEB grocery store," in a condescending way. My reply was "Well I thought you would since you sell all kinds of (cooking) salts." During my time looking around I heard this sales associate helping other customers, clearly ones that he knew perhaps because they shopped there regularly, in a friendly, helpful demeanor. So why he acted like I was an idiot for asking if they sell rim margarita salts I don't know. There is an air of snobbery in this store probably because of the wealthy clientele. I have seen it before in other departments. This may sound petty but a store like this really should have friendlier sales associates with all levels of clientele not just the ones from Memorial or River Oaks. read more

We had our wedding invitations made here. The were very helpful and offered great suggestions. They turned out beautiful, we received many compliments. If you register here you get 20% off of your invitation order. I highly recommend Bering's for invitations. read more

Bering's - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Houston, Texas

I love supporting local businesses, and this one has been around since I can remember. I live close by, which is great to grab any odds and ends I may need to do around the house. They are always so helpful with everything. I had my wedding invitation ordered from them in 2007, and since then Ii have been hooked to this place. I love the variety of items they sell, from adorable baby clothes to lotions and candles. You can do your wedding registry there, have a fresh brewed cup of coffee, and try some chocolate. Please support local businesses, they are truly the best. read more

I am a regular shopper at bering's. I have always found their costs to be a little higher than the big hardware stores but have always made it a point to shop at Bering's to support locally owned businesses. read more

I'm such a sucker for Bering's. They have a lot to offer for those with deep pockets looking for anything under the sun for your home. This is a place where you can purchase fine china, silver, a garden hose, Big Green Egg grill, monogrammed leather luggage and some light bulbs all at the same place. Bering's has been around for quite some time and has established themselves as Houston's place for finer home items and wedding registries. They're definitely worth a Sunday browse and I'm sure you'll run across something you can't leave without. read more

I love this store and continue to go back. They lost a star here because the cashier was on her phone when I walked up and then got back on it before I had even put my card back into my wallet. Standing right exactly in front of her and she couldn't get her phone out fast enough. Along with wearing her zippered sweatshirt backwards and not being very friendly. This is very unusual for Bering's as they are usually the best in customer service. The gentleman who made my keys for me was great! Also was offered help throughout the store with a smile. This particular cashier was not of the usual Bering's standard of helpful or polite. read more

The guy was awesome, very helpful and did the job super fast too! I broke the key and needed a new one, so I called Lowe's, Home Depot- you'll have to give them normal key to get another one made, only Bering's helped me with my accident. Thumbs up, I definitely recommend this place! read more
