Cost Plus World Market

Absolutely love this place. But dogs not allowed (only downside). We would shop there a lot more often than we now do if we could bring our dog.

So, I bought the metal display case item on ¹²⁄₁₃. upon receiving the item the glass in the door was broken. i was told i would get a new door sent in the mail. After waiting I called to check on the part. Was told on Jan 4^th that the part was on the way. Again on Jan 7^th the part was on the way. Again Jan 13^th the part is on the way, Jan 24^th & 25^th the part is on the way. Again on ¹⁄₂₉ the part is on the way. Then I get a call yesterday saying they dont have the part and its not on the way! They say that they told me this and I agreed to keep the broken item. This is a lie. I did NOT spend 900 bucks to have a broken item and wait over a month to just be told I am keeping a broken item. Now they say there is no replacement part, and the item is no longer in stock. And I have to disassemble the item and find some packaging to pack it back up (recycled the packaging already). and wait for someone to call me to schedule a pick up time to come get the broken item and I do not get a refund until the item is received– which can take — who knows how long? Wow.

I really like Cost Plus and always find things I like there, but last night, after 40 minutes of shopping and with an armful of gifts in hand, I got into the checkout line. I was #6 in line. Despite having plenty of sales people moving stock around the store, there was only one cashier. Two of the people in front of me had items that needed her to call someone else for more info, and so everyone in line waited while someone else went off to look up a price or something. After 15 minutes and only moving up 4 spots, I asked the cashier if they might get another cashier up there. She said yes, that would happen soon. After 20 minutes I stuck my stuff on a shelf and left. Really now, isn’t the purpose of having a shop to sell things to customers? If the checkout system doesn’t have enough cashiers (one? on a weekend during Christmas season?) it’s not working right. I kept saying to myself, «I can order this stuff online and be done a lot faster.» Please, the store is so good it’s a shame to make customers grumble at their last interaction with the store. :-(

Does not allow pets, which in Portland, especially here downtown, is frowned upon.
Cool place to visit though. Housewares that are as cute as the ones they sell in Pottery Barns but a lot more affordable.
Staff are mostly friendly, bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Not easily accessible if the parking is full in their little lot that they share with 3 other different businesses.
I would really really love this place more if they just let good dogs in, or if it’s in a carrier. They will ask you to leave though, even if your dog is 5 lbs, and is very well behaved inside his/​her carrier.
Other than that, I highly recommend that you peek inside before making that purchase from Pottery Barns or even Renovations.

I finally made it to World Market (like I needed a visa or something.) I had heard great things about this place so my expectations were high.
This location was surprisingly dead when I went right after work. Uncharacteristic of any business off 23^rd, but it is a weird parking layout.
I went here mainly to look for some home stuff and peek at their beer selection. I left with WAY more than I needed and that is okay.
They have a ton of stuff for your home and this is an excellent place for a gift. Whenever I need to get my mom a present I will be back to this spot.
I found myself stuck in the spice section for a very long time. They have several spices from around the world. I also snagged a crêpe mixture and some delicious looking syrup.
The highlight of my trip was the wine selection! I came here in search of beer and left with 4 bottles of wine (I don’t have a problem.) Seriously an amazing selection at a great price. I bought 4 bottles because that got me a cheaper per bottle price. They also have a «build your
own 6 pack» using their large beer selection.
I’m glad someone told me to check this place out. I will be back.

I know it’s not very Portland of me (since it is super not local), but I love this place. As one of my core life goals is to try as many candies and sweets from around the world as possible, I definitely appreciate the stock they have. They also have interesting and affordable beer and wine – some of which are even local. They also have some goods that are really affordable – I got a glass teapot with strainer for under $ 5.

Lots of imported goodies here at a fair price. Some of it is hard to find, and overpriced if found elsewhere. Got Tim Tams for 55% off due to expiration date– still perfectly fine. Could easily make a decent gift basket here.

The wine!!! So many. Variety. The decorations and kitchen supplies are so cool. Fun furniture. Spices. On and on. Plan to spend at least an hour. Something new at every visit

You can travel in your local community at Cost Plus World Market. They have a vast array of kitchen supplies, food, furniture and more, from all over the world. It isn’t called a world market for nothing. This location is also nice and central in the Alphabet District. Frequently, they’ll have discounts on their already great prices.
I’ve been to this Cost Plus several times, usually to get a soda. Once, I got a tasty cucumber soda. Today, I tried a wonderful lime ricky. You can really stock up on syrups, as is a common practice for here. Yes, a lot of the food is processed, but it is unique.

So many foodie items, goodies to get for basket gifts or stocking stuffers.
I just picked up a shower curtain with fabulous colors in a pattern I couldnt find anywhere else. All other stores had blah colorless choices. Who knew!

This is our goto place for interesting foods, primarily the candy kind. They have nice dishes and a mix of stuff mostly from asia such as furniture and textiles. We occasionally dropin to pickup a bottle of wine as well.

I normally love shopping here, however the last few times I’ve gone in they haven’t had what I need in stock, and it always seems like forever until I see it again. Today I found out they won’t get my item in for another few months. If you carry something try to keep it in stock or plan to order it regularly so you can avoid disappointed customers. What’s the point in carrying something that you only reorder once or twice a year.

Five stars. That’s quite a bit, but exactly what this store deserves today. All my favorite Christmas chocolates and an employee who went above and beyond to help me find what I was looking for. Calm graciousness this time of year is such a grand thing to find.

This place is always great for gift shopping. Walking around the store is always a great way to brainstorm for gift ideas. They also have a nice selection of wines and Beer. Their food selection is also great especially their candy and chocolate selection. They constantly run sales ands everything is affordable.
Make sure to stop by for your holiday shopping needs. You’ll find tons of amazing unique gifts!

I freaking love World Market! I’ll go here on a quiet Sunday just to browse around and if I’m lucky, catch a wine sample. They really know how to work it here — I get $ 10 off $ 30 or more purchases all the time and if you can pair that with one of their frequent sales, you can get a pretty groovy deal. Love their selection and reasonable prices and great location in uptown so you can spend an afternoon shopping and running your errands! Staff is also super friendly and helpful.

Gotta love cost plus
Awesome cloths and just hella killer stuff in general.
This one is very friendly and open

Very friendly employees and convenient location. They have their own parking lot which is nice because it can be difficult to park in this area.
I try to hit up the after Christmas sale every year when most holiday merchandise is 75% off. 75% off mean stuff is cheap! Made out with holiday decorations, gift wrap, tons of imported chocolate and treats, and seven bottles of wine all for under $ 40.
Only one register open but this location has never been very crowded and customer service has always been great. Great for last minute gifts, home décor, and cheap sale items!

This is one of the few places in the downtown-​ish area I can find a good bottle of glühwein. In case you haven’t tried it, it’s a German, slightly spicier, version of mulled wine, usually served hot. We come here around Christmas to stock up on German chocolates and glühwein and maybe pick out some cute classes or christmas crackers. We bought all our ornaments here a few years ago too. If you’ve got some foreign candy or dried goods you want, you should definitely check out Cost Plus — there’s a good chance they might have what you’re looking for. My husband finds his English tastes met by getting the Auntie’s Chocolate Puddings here.

I could spend hours in here. Actually I wouldn’t mind living here. They even have relaxing music and coffee samples! I never know what I’ll find here but I always end up with something interesting. An awesome place to find gifts for those hard to shop for people and if you join the E-​mail list you will get useful coupons, all the time! Also the staff here are really nice and super helpful.

Okay this is what I love about Cost Plus World Market:
Best wicker collection ever and they prices are reasonable!
Best Christmas ornament collection ever — I love they have non-​traditional stuff.
Food and wine selection is great — I love food from around the world.
Card collection amazing!
And their tea collection! Whoa!!!
Just lots of stuff — almost overwhelming, but not quite!
