Front entrance
Nicholas A.

Always impressed by with how Breed & Co stays constant with both price and service. I'm so grateful that a place like this exists so close to where I live, going inside of a Lowes or Home Depot is always so much work. The massive parking lot, insanely large store and massive number of customers is always such a turn for those bigger locations Not here, they have absolutely everything you need without the headache or hassle. Even if you enter without a clear idea of what you need, the people here will help you get exactly what you need. An impressive 5/5 for staying amazing, keep it up!!

Years ago I used to live fairly near this business and would stop in from time to time, but it's been about 20 years since I've walked through the door. I was desperately in need of a particular wrench and they had it. I was also very pleasantly surprised that they actually sell craftsman tools here instead of that cheap Chinese crap that you find at Harbor freight. This is definitely an upscale hardware store, but it is a lot more than that. They have pretty much everything imaginable from air filters, house paint, power tools, fancy glassware, and even a gourmet candy case at the checkout. There's so much to see here that there's no way I could truly capture it all on film. If you have not been here, you really need to visit this "more than a hardware" store. The prices are a little higher than your average Home Depot, but then again, they are in the midst of a very dense urban area. I'll definitely be paying them more visits in the future.

$33.99 set description when I ordered 11 nets from Ace.com was described in first sentence as 4 x 6. Actually, 4 x 4.75

Old-fashioned hardware store in Austin. I cannot sing enough praise. Manager Mike donated 4 boxes of net lights to complete a civic service project when I explained to him what happened. This is after Ace Corporate told me (in over 1.5 hours of phone calls) that a fine print disclaimer online states Ace cannot be held responsible for incorrect product descriptions. (WHAT ??!!!) And, they did not seek to reward me in any way for bringing the wrong description to the attention of Ace Corporate. Several months ago I purchased enough Christmas net lights to cover some bushes based on "4 x 6" description on website. And, it had a jumper wire on each one. When I installed the week before Thanksgiving, I was significantly short for finishing project. I looked at small font on box. 4 foot x 4.75 foot. !!!!!! The time and energy spent on phone calls was all for naught. I phoned Breed Hardware, my friendly local Ace Hardware store. Manager Mike was genuinely sorry for what I'd gone through, which was in no way the fault of Breed Hardware. He offered to basically donate the boxes I needed to finish the project. Immediately, I'm writing this review. I'm so relieved. So happy. WHAT an old-fashioned hardware store. Thanks, Manager Mike and Breed Hardware. Please, Everyone, give your business to Breed & Co in Austin.

Hardware side

I really love this hardware/housewares store. It's incredibly unique in that you can get your hardware, walk across the other side of the store and register for your wedding! They have stunning China and fine dining whether you are picking out your first set or your last. They have candles, scents, kitchen needs, and more. Their housewares department is not for the casual cook. This is definitely where I go to buy gifts or real staples for my kitchen because all of the items are so nice - which means it's not cheap! I love this store so much. I've purchased so many things over the years for friends, family, or myself. Each item in my home I still love. The hardware store is affordable, has everything you need for personal or business. Shop local, this is the place for whatever you need!

They have a nice selection of items.. a little on the pricey side. I love the variety they offer. They make keys if you need them.

If i can't find it almost anywhere else, I can find it at Breeds. They have had obscure items I couldn't find at Lowes or Home Depot.

Does anyone know of their return policies? I purchased a $130 wreath yesterday, and the whole thing already fell apart.

Hi Claire, We’re so sorry to hear about the wreath! You can definitely come back and get the wreath exchanged or get a full refund. Generally, our return policy requires you… Read more

I went to ACE HARDWARE/Breed and Company (290 and close to Nutty Brown Rd). I was meeting up with a…read moregirlfriend. They have the MOST gorgeous Easter display of any store, along with a sweet selection of merchandise! I enjoy just walking around this store and seeing what unique items they have for your home. Sure wish the people were friendlier and cared more about helping the customer. Oh well that's kind of the way the world is these days! I bought a good amount of merchandise but something i took home did not work and had to return it. This return didn't work in my favor, turns out the customer is not as important as that extra dollar even if you are the one inconvenienced. That being said I still enjoy walking around the inside of this store.

Right now they are decorated for Christmas and the store looks amazing. There are some great decorating ideas here and the products are high quality. I have noticed some things go really fast, so if you see something you like ... grab it. One half of the store are hardware items where carry items not found at the big box stores like the Big Green Egg. The other half is home essentials and changed out for all the seasons. The back has a small gardening area. The whole store was very clean and organized. The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you sign up for Ace Rewards then some nice perks.

I stopped into Callahan's for a random reason: because Webkinz are back? As an avid collector as a…read morekid, I had to grab one to relive my childhood my parents raised me on. They had a pretty decent stock as elsewhere has been selling rapidly. There's a lot going on at Callahan's as that place is huge. The only issue I had while I was there was there was only one lady working the cash register and there was a good 5+ of us waiting in line at a certain point, and it was moving at a snail's pace. Just that lunch rush I guess. I'll be back maybe for more Webkinz, I guess. RIYL: Feed and thing

I like coming here because it's got that old school general store feel. You know, what it must have been like back in the days of cowboys, dirt roads, and small, one-horse towns. They have just about everything from western clothing to hay, hammers, seeds, household stuff, and more. I had been on the search for a specific style of plant pot for an urban garden project I was working on. I searched high & low looking for what I wanted and couldn't find it. That is, until I tried Callahan's. I went in on a whim, not really looking for said pot, but looking around in general. And to my surprise, there it was! The piece I had been looking for. The fluorescent store lighting reflected around it like a glorious and spectacular display, calling my name. "Buy me, Karla, buy me"...and that I did. Obviously, I left happy. All in all, it's a cool place to check out and to find things you need and things you never knew you needed. Service is pretty great too. Everyone is super friendly.
