Mitchell Hardware

I've been here several times, and it's always a joy to see all the great decor, household items, and tasty treats. You can stop looking for that particular item after shopping here. They seem to have at least one of every essential household item and then some. The whole store has a warm and inviting feel to it and friendly staff as well.

Wow. What a neat place. A local was telling me their motto is: if you can't find it here, you don't need it. I thought that was peculiar for a hardware store... then I went in. Mitchell's really does have everything - feed, hardware store items, plants, knives, souvenirs, ornaments of the town Bear statues, skillets, etc. Definitely stop in here if nothing else but to take it all in, in all its glory. If you want a good souvenir, this is the only place that has the different Bear statues as ornaments. There's plenty of other things to pick up just because, as well. Oh and don't forget to snap a picture with their Bear outside.

Such a cool store. So many things to look at. We always go here to get bird seed to feed the birds at the nearby park. Best value and really close

Mitchell Hardware is an authentic hardware store and gift shop. This store has served historic Downtown New Bern and the surrounding areas since 1898. Mitchell’s is truly a visit to the past, complete with the choices of the present.
The staff is very friendly. Store is filled with numerous items of very many different kinds. There collection of items is very unique from hardware to houseware to plants. To get the sense of uniqueness go to the inner side of the store and see the “Smoke House”. Rare store to visit.

If you need it, they have it...plus some! Lots of local items like honey, bread mixes, housewares, and more. Great selection of Lodge cast iron. It's definitely a must when we go to Downtown New Bern!

Love going here shopping! So much to look at! They have everything! If you need seeds for your garden this is the best place to go! They have all varieties of vegetable seeds. Weigh out the amount that you need.

My husband had gone to two hardware stores with no positive results except when I suggested Mitchell Hardware store. ;) Guess what? It was worth the wait for the employee (David)? to come on duty. He fulfilled graciously the solution to my hubby’s unique request. woohoo

Truly a great locally owned hardware store. A great variety of merchandise with very friendly staff. If you are in downtown New Bern take the time to browse and shop.

Nice place. They have it and more. I had a 1962 Cushman Motor scooter, I needed a spring, they had it on the shelf. They are somewhat of a tourist trap, but ignore that if you need something.

Amazing store. One of the best places to visit in this city. Normal hardware such as tools, accessories, pipes and hoses etc. But, also has novelties and old times candy and drinks. 100% recommend.

If visiting, or perhaps you've lived in the area all your life, but some how missed Mitchell's Hardware Store, (located in the Historic District of New Bern) is a must stop, as you'll be in for a surprise and a treat. Mitchell's Hardware, (MH) isn't your typical Hardware store, (HWS). From the antique collection in the front window to the moment you step in, MH will transport you back in time to a special visit like none other. It has for you older generation that on "Walton Mountain"-isk shop feeling, or if you're not familiar with that term, how about traveling back in time.

From the old hardwood floors, to the wonders of old time candy stocked shelves and of course tools, as well as bits and bobs of new items to antiques, there is something for everyone. From the collector to the DIYer, as MH is a after all a functioning HWS. The staff are Friendly, Helpful, and informative of in, as well as outside of MH, and enjoy interacting with their customers from natives in the area, from afar, to out of state travelers and their adventures. And are always up to helping you find a solution to an inside or outside household, garden, project, or problem.

Although parking can be found out front of the store, be prepared to find parking elsewhere, although not very far; you can find parking near MH, just a note to bring the walking shoes, but trust me, it's well worth the walk. The store has the ability to accommodate those of us who need assistance and use walkers, wheelchair, or mobility scooters, caution is however still advised, as some places in the store might be tight to navigate, but not impossible.

There you have it, not far from the Birth Place of Pepsi, as well as gas lanterns on the buildings to light your way, if you come in the evening, the clock tower is lit for that romantic stroll down an era missed. This is a charmed area in New Bern, North Carolina and a must stop. Like being transported back in time, or stepping into a period novel set in the 1900's, Mitchell's Hardware Store Welcomes all who arrive as strangers, but leave as friends.

I love this cute little shop! It has lot of charm with a bunch cool & unique finds. It’s a great store to check out. You can easily find a gift for someone or a special something for yourself .

Absolutely awesome place to visit. Gift towels and bulbs and so much more. Found a hat for kayaking and leather gloves for the garden. Staff very helpful and kind. Love to visit here. Locals come often as several stated when they came in. Great place to browse for unique gifts too. I picked up small butterflies with “Joy” and “Love” on the back. Gave as gifts. Wish I picked up a few more.

Mitchell's has everything you are looking good for and more. Always find a special something here!

If they don't have what you are looking you probably don't need it! They have everything! Especially garden seeds! Any kind seed you want! Very friendly staff! Great place to shop!

As hardware stores go, Mitchell’s is a cool place, definitely worthy of a visit. Besides offering all kinds of hardware, they also have lots of cool and different household items. It’s a frequent stop for us whenever we visit New Bern. And, they love dogs! What more could you ask for? :-)

Amazing hardware and gift store! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly in helping us find fall gifts to take home for decorations. Found some interesting local stuff and amazing barbecue sauce in the back rooms! This place has a lot we spent an hour here!!
