Hermann Furniture Store is different from Hermann General Store…read more The furniture store is a great store, we furnished our new home completely from Hermann's; large and small items, mattresses, lamps, rugs etc. They are friendly, helpful and have decorators in house for assistance if needed. You can order anything you wish from their catalogues if your desired item is not in the store. Delivery is prompt. WE LOVE IT.

This place is great! There is a furniture and design store but also an antique mall and boutique…read more It was so fun spending time there just looking at everything. Lots of cute vintage items and nice uniquely curated items.

We did the tour (it's free!). We checked out the visitors center where there was a lot to learn…read moreabout the history of Blue Bell started in 1907. Checked out the observation deck where we could watch the day-to-day ice cream operations. Had huge one-scoop ice cream cups for $1 each in the ice cream parlor. We each chose a flavor you can only get there. Then we slid through the gift shop which actually is set up like a quaint country store. Great time!

A bucket list trip - down south to see the one and only Blue Bell site in Brenham, TX. A easy…read moreweekend trip to enjoy the self guided walk thru (not really a tour) some pictures, a viewing window, tasting room that offers ice cream Blue Bell bar items like banana popsicle, fudge sticks then scoop ice cream that is only served in 3 gallon containers - some specific to the location or dealers that sell by scoop. We enjoyed cinnamon - walnut cherry and all were great for 1.00 per cup - large serving in our opinion. They have a fun museum, first delivery truck and some grounds to enjoy on a nice day. Worth a stop if you are by the area.

What a great book store! They let you bring your dog in if they are well behaved and they have a…read morelarge selection of books. The kids area had a seat and little stools so you could explore and possible read a book. I love a good book store and this place fit the bill. They had local arts items, cards, stickers, and little knick knacks that people like to pick up. Parking in downtown Brenham was pretty easy even on a Saturday.

Quaint little gift shop that has random gifts and food items (salad dressings, sauces, teas, cards,…read morecandles, etc.) It's a tiny little room inside of the Bevers Real Estate office off of 290. Stopped by on the way back from Blue Bell Creamery to Houston. The lady working at the time (not Annie haha) let us know that we could try any of the food items to decide what we liked - raspberry chipotle sauce was DELICIOUS! Got a bottle for about $8. Roommate got a designer candle for about $15 - really unique container and strong relaxing lavender smell. Don't expect toooo much - like I said, it's a tiny shop. But if you're in the area anyway (after an icecream factory or winery tour perhaps?), stop by for one of kind gift items for the special ladies in your life...mother's day is coming up! :)

Sew Stitches Boutique in Brenham Texas. Just needed some Christmas stockings embroidered. Clearly…read moretheir sign says they have a two week turnaround. Dropped off on a Thursday and was greeted rudely by the clerk. She never asked me what font I would like but instead said she'd text me my choices the next day. Something about needing to use her computer to generate my choices. After a week or so with no communication I tried to call, no answer. Ever! So I used their online platform to ask about the font. I was basically told to continue to wait indefinitely. After another week I returned to the store only to be greeted rudely by a different elderly clerk who wanted to know if I had been texted. She basically threw my un-embroidered stockings at me with no explanation, no questions asked and definitely no excuses given. She and the owner simply didn't care. Seems like these ladies may be backed by wealthy hubbies because they sure aren't interested in pleasing new customers. I will be certain to tell everyone I can NOT to use their services....unless of course you enjoy being treated rudely and waiting indefinitely for overpriced services. Steer clear!!!!

Despite the fact that we have not had dogs for over a year now, the "people goods" part of this…read morestore caught our interest while we were in town from Louisiana during a bluebonnet tour. While the wife shopped, I had a nice conversation with the owner and her son. I was struck by the unusual (to me) combination of "pet store" and "decor store." I was pleased to hear how the dream came to be reality, especially since we're dog-lovers and enjoy finding distinctive home decor items. The pet food and treat selection, as well as the collars, leashes, and other accessories is out-of-this-world. The clothing and home decor items are interesting and varied. Their space is a restored building and that just adds character to the entire mix. We brought home a beautiful blue-and-white chinoiserie vase and a few other assorted items that caught our interest. This is a great place to browse and is on our list of places to re-visit when we're in town next year.

Her son, Conner, is the nicest human I have had the pleasure of meeting. Just as a disclaimer, they are not a doggy grooming saloon. They are more of a retair store that also services animals (?) Still not to sure about it. Lisa and her son made us feel welcomed and showed us what Southern Hospitality truly is. They have convinced us to take a mommy and daddy date to Brenham.
