Bering's is known for high quality, as well as, hard to find items! I have been shopping at the Bissonnet/Weslayan location for years! You can get cleaning products, keys made, children's clothing, books, toys, accessories, fine chocolates, order invitations/stationary, buy plasticware; plates, silverware, napkins, cookware, glasses, etc etc etc On this occasion I stopped in for a few specific items that I needed for the dinner party I was hosting. I sincerely wished that I had gotten the name of the wonderful man, who was working at Bering's and who immediately began helping me find what I needed to buy. He literally walked me around, asking others who also worked there, where to find these items. Of course we ended up in the right section with a multitude of selections which I truly appreciated. I found what I needed and I was a very happy customer! This person's excellent professional service was extremely appreciated. Next time I'm at Bering's I will try to find him, so I can edit this review and add his name so he gets recognized for his over-the-top service!!! read more

Wonderful and pretty cool place! I was searching for new shopping places around Katy and this Uptown location caught my eye. It was worth the 42 min drive. Chances are you will find an answer to your search regardless if your mission is garden supply, kitchenwares, stationery, chocolate, or fine gifts. I came home on my first stop with the 2 gal. Garden sprayer I needed, a watering bucket, some chocolate that I didn't need, bar cherries for making olde fashioned and ribbon candy. read more

Not a week goes by that I don't run to Bering's! Their selection of fine home wares, gifts, tools, accessories, and seasonal items is amazing. They remember guests by name, offer a great loyalty program, and have plenty of helpful staff in each department. Quality and service do not come without a cost - but Bering's always provides a great value for their customers. read more

Bering's - Use the side entrance for quick trips. They have a second cashier station here. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great Quality Shopping. I am from a small town & actually ran into a friend from the small town today! Enjoyed my experience today. Picked up a cup of their delicious coffee & was a bit disappointed to find out that they don't take cash at the coffee bar only credit card...I put it on my credit card anyway & continued to shop. read more

This spot feels like a relic of department stores past. I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way, it's moreso to explain that from the in house gift shop to the hardware section to the clothing and kitchen sections to the coffee shop, with a sales employee in each section, I was thrown back to the days of department store popularity. While I didn't ask the staff any questions during my trip, I was greeted, and asked if I needed help by several different individuals. To be honest, ADHD and these types of shops may not mix. One minute I found myself grabbing the furniture polish on my list, and the next I've spontaneously found a random book for a friend. Two minutes later I'm looking at sprinkler heads, purchasing corner brackets and deciding if I should replace the hardware in our kitchen. I guess it's their win because I left with $44 worth of product in hand. To be fair, I've already used 3 of the wood products on a vintage dining table we recently acquired, and they worked beautifully so so far so good. I know a few people who would love this place. This would be a great spot to bring a friend or family with a wide variety of interests. They really have something for everyone. read more

Bering's - I didn't know shrimp vein peelers existed! - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

First visit to Bering's on Bissonnet in a clean and safe shopping strip environment. Ample customer parking lot. The store is well organized into greeting cards, kitchen, wine, coffee, clothing boutique, and hardware. There's something for everyone's taste and budget preference. Friendly store clerks were posted throughout the store. I purchased a 50% off Kevin Belton cookbook. read more

Friendly & polite service! I'm going today to poke around. I'll bet I discover something I need too. read more

Bering's - Table display - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Amazing store, layout, and selection of items. Definitely on the pricier side. It has such a nostalgic atmosphere inside that you almost forget you are still in Houston. But the employees are some of the laziest people I have encountered in any store. I was checking out with several rolls of gift wrapping paper, and I mentioned that I was also picking up an online order. All five employees in the registers started pointing at each other trying to decide whose turn it was to walk to the back and fetch my order, no one wanted to do it. And mind you, I was the only customer in the checkout line at the time. Finally, I got my order and thanked them, ready to head to the exit, and not a single one of these five ladies said "Thank you", "Have a nice day" or anything. They were too busy gossiping about some coworker. All in all, it's a cool place, but I hope you get better customer service than I did. read more

It's a great neighborhood store. It has great products and service. We have been going there for 20 plus years for all our hardware needs and more. We love the coffee they sell and the clothing apparel they sell. read more

I love this store (Bissonnet location)! The employees are always so helpful and friendly. They have excellent merchandise. If you need assistance with hardware matters, their employees are very knowledgeable. Their coffee bean selection is vast, and they'll grind it how you like it. They always seem to be crowded and the cashier lines are quick. I've been going to this store for many years. read more

It's time for me to figure out my Berings. Give me a minute. This is a rather adorable hardware store where I had a couple of bad customer service experiences a few years ago, but lately it seems like they have refreshed their staff and have been doing pretty well. It's not too expensive, although it's not dirt cheap discount stuff, and Barbie always has a good time in here and finds lots of stuff that she wants, and we end up spending too much money. read more

Bering's - I just need to get my berings - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

Berings (3900 Bissonnet Street. 77005) Salesman today was absolutely brilliant. I purchased a Weber Q 2400, and Q cart 1000-2000 today(6-29-24 at 12:02 PM). The salesman was excellent with his professionalism, knowledge, customer appreciation, and attention to detail. I've been shopping at Berings for over 25 years, and he way exceeds a 5 Star experience rating. Soft skills are crucial in customer service because they directly impact the customer's experience. Good communication, active listening, empathy, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills allow customer service representatives to effectively understand the customer's needs and provide a positive solution.

We were near this store and the signage saying hardware and gifts intrigued me....glad we did. You can buy a garden hose, an egg barbecue pit, pelletized smokers, gas grills, chocolates, coffee beans from all over, sauces for grilling, cookware, yard decorations, and all kinds of....hardware. We bought an assortment of whole beans, we'll be back for more goodies. read more

Bering's - Photos with Santa this fine Saturday - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

This store is nice for alot of reasons. First off if you need a gift they have something for anyone and I mean anyone. From your fancy schmancy person who probably has everything, to someone who you just need to get a token of appreciation for such as a teacher or a bridal consultant. Prices also run from reasonably priced.....to....OH MY GOD that costs what? Are they kidding? Yes...this places goes from the kinda haves to the haves but not the have nots. Berings, although a lovely store is not for all people. It is only for those more well to do Houstonians. I knew I was way out of my league when I saw a $299.00 pillow. Cultural diversity was also not very apparent here unless you count the people that were workers. I was able to purchase 2 very cute wallets and a small hand bag as appreciation gifts for my daughters wedding coordinators and the venue's representative at a reasonable price. When the lady handing my transaction asked me if I would like them gift wrapped I said sure thinking it was complimentary when it ended up being $6.99 for each gift. That I think is just ridiculous. So the 3 stars is really for the fact that they have totally out priced not just the average person but the above average person who I can only think that they do not want in their store. Charging for gift wrapping when they already over charge on the merchandise they have in the store. And least we not forget that lack of welcoming of cultural diversity of the public. Pretty much the only color you will find here is white unless you are ordering a coffee....not the way of the world Berings. read more

Bering's is my "go to" place in Houston. The gift shop is amazing, the close selection in the children's department is precious, the stationary department is first class, and the hardware store is known for their service and the professionalism. read more

Manager refused to give me any refund on 3 Blue Rhino propane tanks which I no longer needed. 2 were full. Old Berings would have been more accommodating to a long time customer. read more

I always enjoy shopping at Bering's! Whether you need essentials in your home or outdoors, want to browse higher end items, or try out unique food items, this is your spot. Bering's has always been my go-to for fresh coffee grounds; I haven't tried a flavor yet that I didn't enjoy! read more

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

Bering's is one-stop-shop for any of your gift-giving needs (and your own personal wants). Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, house warming, the winter holidays -- shop local and go to Bering's. They sell everything from housewares to garden supplies, hardware, clothes, chocolates, coffees... even tamales! They also have an online store where you can have items shipped out or select curbside pickup. read more

When I told by a colleague to go by this hardware store, I would have never in a million years thought i would see what I saw. First of all, this place is no ordinary hardware store. For me starting with the Big Sign out front and the many cars in the parking lot; I knew something was not like other hardware stores that I've been too. Secondly, when I walked in I was blown away by the variety of products and services in side. From furniture to gift items; from candy and nuts different varieties of coffee (more than 10). I went further and there was stationary, greeting cards and invitations. I saw pots, pans and other small kitchen wares. I guess what else I saw at the hardware store? come on guess? Things I find in hardware stores. Finally, the customer service was great. The people were friendly and extremely helpful. read more

We LOVE Bering's! The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! The prices are higher than at the big box hardware stores, but the service is courteous, personal, and most importantly, available. We are able to find items that we are unable to find anywhere else (Clorox pens, Two-prong Cork Puller, etc.) When we were unable to find propane canisters for our BBQ Grill before Hurricane Harvey, we found exactly what we needed at Bering's. We are happy to support this amazing local, family owned business and encourage others to check it out. read more

One of the reasons I miss working or coming to Houston at all period... is because of stores like this. I went in for a specific item I knew they would have, but oddly I wasn't able to find , but that's ok because I found a whole lot more I didn't know I was looking for. This store added a children's clothing department like on Westheimer which wasn't here last time I came. Such beautiful giftware, glass, crystal and china, chocolates, sauces, salsas, great cookware, knives, all top of the line items.... most anything purchased from Bering's is gift worthy or just keep it for yourself...I never have umderstood why Bering's isn't in The Woodlands, but it sure would be nice.. read more

Bering's - Trash can shopping. Love this store. - Hardware Stores Near Me - Houston, Texas

My mother has frequented Bering's as her "one stop shop" for more than FORTY YEARS. I don't live quite as close, but I can tell you they HAVE everything and will DO anything to serve their customers. I don't go anywhere else for baby or wedding gifts -- Bering's seriously has the most beautiful things in town. And the men's department is out of this world! GORGEOUS...not to mention they're the largest Houston carrier of Beafish Designs sports apparel! Jan Edwards, Houston native and owner of @Beafishdesigns read more

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

I want to thank my friend for suggesting me this place ... i loved the collection . bought so many things ...

I introduced my friend (a Yankee transplant from Boston) to Bering's. It was difficult to drag her out of the store - there are only so many hours in a day girl! Her mantra after that first visit "if you can't find it at Bering's, then it's not made". What a fantastic advertisement quote. P.S. I don't know what I would do without Bering's. It allows me to float back to years ago when we had the old hardware stores downtown and I love it. S. Evans, Bellaire, TX read more

I go to Berings when I want to get good quality hardware and/or I want to talk with someone who is knowledgable about the hardware. It is somewhat more expensive than the big box hardware stores, but the hardware is usually of good quality, not the cheapest thing you can buy like the big box stores. Additionally, you can usually find a store employee to help you, unlike the big box stores where you have to hunt somebody down for help. These people usually know their merchandise and try to be helpful. read more

Best shop to find decor for home & gifts for any occasion. Steven is the best to help find items.

There were very nice items in the store, but I chose not to purchase anything and will not be returning due to the poor customer service. I had interactions with a few staff members that made it seem like people of minority background are not welcomed. Something about the way the staff was treating me was off. I've never had this type of experience in Houston. I'll gladly look elsewhere for gifts this holiday season. read more

The only problem I have when shopping Bering's is that I WANT EVERYTHING IN THEIR STORES!!! Literally! The perfect place to find the perfect gift for ANYONE on any occasion. LOVE THIS STORE! read more

Well Julie from Beings, I'm pretty shocked and amazed. I had vowed to never set foot in a Bering's ever again, then today I literally myself right there in the parking lot. The traffic was a nightmare anyway so I decided to go inside and see how this would all play out. I had no receipt, no copy of the yelp review nor did I have your response and I didn't even know your name. I didn't even have my wallet. With that Nothing Burger, I located the managers office and marched right upstairs asks presented myself to the receptionist person. I explained to her what had happened a year ago. I told her that I had gotten a response from somebody somewhere, assuring me that was not within their scope of approved customer service responses on returns. Instead of getting the boot, which is what I expected, sale actually went into yelp, found my review and found your response. Initiative is gods gift is it not, Julie? And it didn't stop there. Just as I thought she was going to turn the whole matter over to you at corporate, she thought better if it and decided to get the manager. This time, instead of mean, abrupt, uncaring Walt, I had the pleasure of meeting Leslie. Even though she was still at lunch, she walked e downstairs. Realizing I didn't have a receipt, once I described the flickering candle, she was able to pin the correct department. She took me to the head cashier, stood in line with me. When our turn cane up, she simply instructed the casket to issue me a gift card in the amount of $25. (I had agreed to this resolution. It was much easier than having to raid the till for a cash payout) What happened in the end is what I knew would happen. I spent that entire $25 on my way out of the Store. Haha. So I chased this $25 for over a year. I posted the story on Facebook, LinkedIn and Yelp. I personally told the story to dozens of people. So who won? Nobody. Walt the manager was not up to the cultural muster so he was given the old heave Ho. I have exhausted myself carrying around my grudge against Berings got over a year. Then I just got a gift card at the End for $25. So my time is with more than that $25. It was a lose lose. The only reason it was so easy to correct, was because finally I was able to plead my case to a rational employee. In the end, it was an easy call for you and then Leslie because it was clearly about doing the right thing. read more

Bering's is a favorite shop and I love the fact that they regularly send out 20% off coupons if you sign up for their mailing list. The coupons make it a little easier to bear their high-ish prices. Some of the things I regularly buy at Bering's are their: custom ground coffees (Southern Pecan!), candles (Voluspa, Agraria and Trapp) and stationery (cute personalized notepads). As other reviewers have noted, they have a large hardware section so you can bring your man and browse without getting a lot of complaints from him. There is also a surprisingly good-sized china section and a decent selection of cookbooks and "nibbles" (crackers, salsa, dips). read more

This is my go-to store. Hardware, paint, baby and women and mens clothing and wedding gifts, crystal, china, coffee, candy...on and on. I did all my Christmas shopping there! Convenient and really beautiful gifts . Great greeting card department. Shop scarves, jewelry, toys, stationery and barbecue supplies! Whatever you're looking for they have it! Love this store! read more

I go here mainly for hardware type items (bulbs, etc.) and specialty kitchen and gift items, as well as occasional key copies. It's close and convenient to me, so I can get in and out easily. I've been able find some great things like microwave omelet containers that I couldn't find elsewhere. Also, they have a lot of fancy crystal, china and unique frames and figurines that you'd have to go to Events or the Galleria to get. Also, they have many random things: coffee, candy, pet food and supplies, etc. It's all pretty expensive, but you could spend hours looking around if you wanted too. My two cents is it's really expensive. Even the hardware is extremely marked up. When I know what I need in advance, I order on Amazon for a fraction of the price. Also, I've never had very good service there. Once, two people tried to help me find a bulb and said they didn't have it, but I found it a few moments later after looking carefully. Today, three men were around the aisle and no one greeted me or asked if I needed help. That's my usual experience. Once, I had to get a gift from that registry that took forever to find and wrap. read more

Bering's is a unique store that masquerades as a Hardware store but has so much more to offer inside. If you do have a hardware/garden issue, there are experts here who can solve your problem and offer products or ideas. However, Bering's has so many other unique departments. There is a stationary department where I ordered my wedding invitations. There is a gorgeous gift shop where I registered for my wedding. The gift shop has all sorts of wonderful brands, including Nambe and Aram. There is also a Wilton Armetale line that is unique to Texas with Lone Star state, Longhorn and other state college designs. In the store there is a cookbook section, home decor, and Texas-themed aprons, oven mitts, and salt and pepper shakers. Bering's also has extensive cookware, kitchen gadgets, water bottles, travel bags, wine accessories, utensils, and other household items. There is a children's clothing section as well. The best part though may be the candy/coffee area. There are chocolates, bulk candies, flavored coffees, and lots of samples. There are also unique gourmet food items around this section, including hard-to-find items like Tabasco Teriyaki sauce. Sometimes, you will find tamale samples across from the coffee samples in a demo. When I visited last weekend, I found the nostalgia candy endcap and bought some cow tales for cheap. This is a fun place to treasure hunt in town, in an easily accessible location. read more

This place is an adventure for anyone. It's one of those stores you can go to kill a few hours, but most likely you will find a very specific item you need and can't get anywhere else. For example, my wife works in a culinary retail store and says she always sends clients here when they don't have what they're looking for. I know it's punishable by death for saying, but the first thing I thought on my first visit the other day was it's like an upscale Walmart (cringe), but to my defence I mean as far as variety of products, in an all-in-one-place sort of way; ok, as I back-pedal, I will say I felt like I was going through petite versions of bed bath and beyond, Starbucks, ace hardware, hallmark, crate and barrel, all together. Sensory overload, for adults and children. I knew as soon as I walked in I was in trouble. Hide my wallet. But my brain was too late for my eyes. Even with a baby we still managed to spend an hour in here, that's how fun this place was to all of us. For sure a great place for gift ideas, that goes without saying. It was a nice bonus that the staff were experts at their respective departments: they gave me that imposing, borderline intimidating feeling like when you run into employees at Home Depot or at a used car dealer, but in a good way because they're dying to help, not harm and they won't condescend or patronise you. But they are clearly bursting with overconfidence and that's useful when pointed the right direction. Can't wait for our next outing here! read more

What a gem of a place. It's like everything you want in a household store. The people who work there are so helpful and if they don't know, will find someone who will. Best customer service. read more

You know they say that "everything imaginable exists somewhere" Well , Bering's is the "somewhere" in this case. This store has everything you can imagine. From light blulbs to key duplicators , from patio furniture to stationary. Need culinary tools? Well get down here , they have everything imaginable. Grills , juicers, blenders,baking ware , cheese graters , slicers, knives , cutting boards... This store has a tiny coffee shop in the middle as well. I didn't taste their coffee but it smelt wonderful. I also saw some muffins and cupcakes.The coffee shop is accompanied by a little section of sweets (chocolates , cakes, candies , cookies etc). The staff here is EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. I was looking for a spiralizer and the staff helped me look for it for 20min.. 20min !! I didn't end up finding what I was looking for exactly but got something close to it. Anyhow , the next time you need to buy ..lets say.. paint , plumbing tools , a shower head or even a staple gun ..stop by ..and check this place out..its a reasonably sized store and a lot better than HUGE places like Home Depot with little or no customer service. read more
