I’ve never been in person but I love shopping with them online! They have a great selection of unique and quality products from interesting brands and makers. I often go to their online shop when I’m looking for a gift. They are always fast to get my order shipped to me too. I hope to visit the shop in person one day!
Always good products. I especially love their candles! They smell amazing and burn very well, lasting much longer than other candles Ive used. The incense matches are also very cool. Love the Sandalwood.
I adore this shop! I pop in every time I am in Brenham to grab a coffee (the not-too-sweet mocha is my absolute favorite), my boys want to stop in to see the sweet dogs that are normally there, and I grab a hat/shirt or some of my now favorite safer skincare products. It is such a fun place!!!
My husband and I are new to the area, escaping city life. We were looking for a good coffee and stumbled upon Ballad of the Bird Dog. Not only was the coffee delicious, but the shop was perfect. Everything they curated to fill this place was unique and quality. Not like most small town boutique shops you see, with very similar/if not the same products. We spent almost an hour looking around, shopping, and talking with the owners, who seem like great people. Highly recommend checking this spot out! Well be back to support this small business!!!
Always friendly, great cup of coffee, and the finest hand crafted leather goods, art, hats, shaving gear, and anything else your heart desires. All under one roof and ready to serve you with a smile. When in Brenham, you owe it to your self, too stop in and say hello and find something for your self or that special person in your life.Thank FolksMark Slamen
I always love going to this store. First, you are greeted by the cutest labs. They have a great curated collection of jewelry, hat, shirts, boots, unique gifts, and while you shop, they can make you a great cup of cold press coffee.
Took a day trip with friends and happened upon this incredible store. Definitely a one-of-kind experience. Imagine being surrounded my unique gifts and products everywhere you look?! Did I mention the high class coffee? We had a lavender oat milk flat white and a decaf iced latte. Very good quality.Store owners Jared and Kathleen were both engaged and quite knowledgeable about the coffee. I will be taking their recommendations seriously. What a breath of fresh air. Cheers to you Ballad of the Bird Dog!!!!
Excellent shop with lots of unique items. Items include jewelry, t-shirts, and numerous misc articles.
I am visiting from out of town. Store was not busy, I tried to make a purchase, stood around for 20 minutes while the ssles clerk to a phone order and visited with the caller. The man in front of me was trying to place a coffee order and was being ignored, the final straw was when the phone caller came to get her order and the saleswoman continued the conversation they were having by phone. I put my items down and left the store. The saleswoman had the nerve to shout out at us thank you for coming! You lost a sale and a future customer, I wont be back. I visit Brenham pretty regularly too.
We love Ballad so much! They always have something new and unique in store. The owners are super helpful and nice too! Definitely check them out if you’re in the area!
Had exactly what I needed at a fair price. Quick shipping, great communication. I will buy again from them.
Love this place! Anytime we are in Brenham, we make sure we stop by.Coffee = delish (by far best in the area)Clothes = trendy, unique and reasonably priced.Staff = friendly and helpful.
Love this shop! Unique, top quality inventory, beautifully displayed and of course, the pups are the best greaters!
I love their coffee, and it’s always great to walk around the store while they’re making the coffee to look at all their merchandise. I have bought several shaving products from them including a shaving bowl, brush, balm; and pre-shave oil. All of them have been fantastic—high quality and a decent price. Will definitely be back again!
My family and I find ourselves making the trip to this shop every other weekend just to enjoy the ambiance and explore their new arrivals. Every member of our family has something under the Christmas tree from BOTBD this year! Follow their social media for some amazing Southwest content.
This place is so cute! It breathes a hipness into downtown, and is modern, while honoring small-town culture.
From the outside, i thought this was just a coffee shop so I ventured in for a coffee before I hit the road back to Houston. Walked in and was greeted by 2 friendly dogs. 5 stars right there. Then noticed that the trendy clothing and accessories for both men and women, not to mention the home goods and leather wares.All in all a really cool contemporary shop with coffee and a lounge in the back. Will def be back on my next visit to Brenham to do some shopping.
I love this store and the adorable little town.
A gem!! They have great unique products that frequently change and update. I like to stop in here every time I’m in Brenham and shop while I get a coffee. Also they have they best coffee experience in Brenham. Love this store and their sister store liquor mart 1844 which is right down the street.
Coming here when Im in Brenham is a must! Discovering this store in Downtown Brenham last year was a game changer. They do everything right, and their coffee is unreal. You have to go!
Quick shipping with tracking details! Great experience!
Great coffee and great little shop. Unique items and goods throughout the store. What a pleasant surprise right there in Brenham, TX.
Beautiful store! The most amazing customer service! I found this place while Googling a product. Google reviews really help, so I feel compelled to say a few words. I normally order Maison Louie Marie products directly, but they were out of stock. A Google Search led me here and I fell in love with this store. They have a stunning collection of products.The owners reached out when I placed my order, it shipped within a day, and I couldnt be happier. Its important to support small businesses, and while I dont live in Texas and it makes me sad that I cant visit the store in person, I am excited to become a customer for all future orders and Ive been telling all my friends about this lovely place. Spread the word!!!
Beautiful, well-curated little shop in downtown Brenham, Texas. I’ve shopped in the store and online, multiple times, and every time has been a 5 star experience. Friendly people in the shop and it’s so fun to browse and discover new items each time you make a lap around the store. When ordering online, it was fast, easy, and shipped quickly. These are the types of places that we must support. Not only are they a small business, but they support other small businesses by selling their products in their store. I bought a pair of Redwing boots that I’ve had my eye on for a while, and decided to make the purchase at Ballad of the Bird Dog because they deserve the business. They are invested in their community and in their customers.
I absolutely love supporting small businesses. I am so happy I came upon this place when searching for some Red Wing boots on the internet. The name of the business was eye catching, and once I read their story I felt compelled to purchase through them instead of one of the larger retailers. Since, I received email communications from them that have a warm and personal feel to them, and hours after placing my order I received a shipment notification. Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience! The next time I visit TX I HAVE TO visit your shop :)
Unique shop with a lot of interesting and local to Texas items. Great coffee shop in side. Very cool antique one chair barber shop in the back. The staff have all been very welcoming every time we have visited.
Beautiful and unique store with the most amazing finds! EVERYONE that works there is always so sweet and helpful. If youre in town it is a MUST see.
Delightful selection of Texas-local made goods as well as a delicious coffee shop featuring Mescalito coffee. We got 5 drinks in all and every single one was wonderful.Loved the selection of clothes, hand made leather goods & jewelry. So glad we stopped by and if ever back in Brenham we will return!
Carefully curated collection of home goods and clothing in the cute town of Brenham. Be sure to stop if youre in the area, or you can order online.
More than a store - an experience. Love the small town revival that Ballad has created. They work with some really talented artisans and makers. Everything in the store is unique and the coffee is amazing. Theyre doing special things in Brenham and the town in general is a real Texas gem to check out.
Love this place! I stopped by on the way back to Austin from Houston for a cup of coffee... I ended up staying and studying for like 4 hours (and they let me have my dog in there too!). They have super cute and unique gifts, and I got most of my Christmas shopping done all in one place! And the coffee was good too. And their dogs were cute. And the staff was all so nice! Cant say good enough things about this place. Catch me stopping by every time Im driving through! 12/10
Tastefully curated store selling quality goods with an emphasis for service. My online order was shipped post-haste and arrive fast. I’d love to visit the brick and mortar store if I ever find myself in or near Brenham, Texas.
Lived in Brenham most of my life and this shop fits so well with the personality of Brenham. I get so excited when I come to visit cause I know I’m gonna stop in here and get coffee at mescalito as well. The owners and employees are so nice welcoming and informative. They are also very active on their social media. The selection of inventory is diverse and affordable.
Warm and inviting, absolutely lovely locally owned and super well done shop in downtown Brenham . Fab coffee and pop up barbers in the back of this historic building. Bonus: the shop dog/s are super sweet and friendly too. Lots of high end local-ish makers and very well selected items. Also some sweet affordable options that feel special. Something for everyone.
Online shopping experience:- fast shipping with no plastic packaging used (thank you!)- well curated online store- great products- good customer service and thankfully I didnt have any issues that required me to reach out for helpThe only con was that the online store felt a little clunky to use.
Ballad of the Bird Dog is an exceptionally cool store with mens wares and unique items for the home/office. Good selection of Howler Bros. clothing. Great coffee made in store and can even get a haircut in the back. Got a great new Ballad hat and a candle for the office. Ill be back each time Im in Brenham. Support this local business and you wont be disappointed. Great job guys!
Incredible place. So glad we stopped by. Visiting for the day from Houston and Melissa, Claire and Kathleen were so friendly to my young daughter and I - and the pour over coffee and iced matcha with lavender was off the hook. Beautiful establishment and atmosphere.
Great shop and owners. Nice place to relax, browse, and have a cuppa. Always end up leaving with something unique. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.
A very friendly, welcoming, relaxing place :-) Nice People, Pure Products. The coffee is amazing!! I will be back for more coffee and chocolates and soaps and candles!! Thank yall! Now this mommy has a new favorite place to come and enjoy some me time :-)
First of all, let me comment on the quality and beauty of these shoes. I ended up ordering 2 pairs of boots and keeping one. They are so stunning, comfortable, go with everything, in short theyve been my winter go to. I did unfortunately have to return one pair, only because they were too small otherwise I would be battling over which pair to wear every day. That being said, the return process was made such a dream by the wonderful team at ballack of the bird dog. Seriously this place has gone so far above and beyond to be a help to me!! I couldnt be happier with my experience and purchase with these guys. Seriously, go shop from them and support a wonderful business.
One of the coolest stores I’ve ever been in! They bring an awesome vibe to Brenham and really appreciate local artists. You won’t be disappointed with their coffee either! #shoplocal
This shop is full of really cool, really unique things! Go in person or shop online- you won’t be disappointed!
Love the vibes and the friendly folks. Great place to look for unique gifts, fun clothes or pick up some coffee from their sister coffee shop, Mescalito!
Amazing selection of items for the home, for travel, for grooming, and all stellar quality. The Ballad of the Bird Dog is completely well thought out through and through. In return, you get an incredible experience with great customer service and to top it all off, they have an amazing selection of coffee as well. I would def consider a major stop for tourists and any guests staying in Brenham or traveling though Texas.
Quality and unique clothing..kudos!
A top 10 store in Texas, you just have to pop in to see why. Top quality products in a beautiful historic building, this will be a shop you will want to tell others about!
Small town shop with the best small town vibes. Great coffee, all the goods, and just a feel good place to venture through.
Extremely friendly staff that loves to support local artists and presents very high quality products. The shop is warm and inviting and has two very sweet and well behaved dogs. Prices will be on the higher end, but you get what you pay for and what they sell is meant to last.
Fast shipping, great communication and the boots are epic! I will definitely shop here again.
One of my favorite stores in Brenham—so perfectly curated! Beautiful leather goods, jewelry and the perfect gift for anyone on your list. Don’t miss this special shop!!!!
Really fell in love with this store and its owners when I stopped in a few months ago. I continue to order things from them since I live over an hour away! Go stop by, or check them out online. You won’t be disappointed!
A creative store with a little bit of everything that focuses on quality in products, friendliness in staff and really good coffee! Stop by and hang out for a bit; theres seating for a snack, a rest, or a beverage. Great place for clothes, organic personal products, and handmade leather crafts. One of my favorite places in Brenham, TX.
Great store with an amazing selection! Awesome staff too.
Thanks for such a quick experience!Glad you have these filters in stock.
I love this place. I was in Brenham for 2 weeks taking care of my mom and BoBD gave me the retail and coffee therapy I needed during that time.
Always love stopping in to have awesome coffee, shop, and see the adorable dogs!! This store has it all!!
One of Brenham’s best stores. This store is one of the reasons brenham is picking up so much attention and starting to turn into one of the best small towns around!
Wonderful small town shop, with an amazing selection of one of a kind finds.

Delicious cold brew coffee, came all the way out for a belt making workshop with Twisted Arrow Goods - they sell their products here and theyre phenomenal.
Good product but too long, looks like old fashioned Bermuda shorts
I needed another t-shirt like a hole in the head however I loved the Ballard of the Birddog bio so much I had to throw some dollars in support of the concept. Regional stores like this are awesome and should be constantly encouraged. Reinvent and reimagine your hometown!Thank you,John TesorieroPapa Nui Cap Co.South Pacific.
