Cost Plus World Market

I love coming to this place. I feel like i’m shopping in other countries and always leave with at least a few things that you would usually have to find in more specialized native stores. I come more for the food and drink options but i have bought a dining set and some furniture from here also. It’s a good way to spend an hour or two to browse and see whats new around the world. Located in 4S shopping center right next to the Ulta store and Ralphs Grocery.

This place is awesome. Why am I just being introduced to this amazing store? Someone needs to hire new marketing people because I’m upset that I’m just now finding out about this place. Just moved into a new house and trying to decorate it and this place has it all and at a decent price.

If you’re looking for candy, wine, beer or furniture, this is the place for you. Most of the items here are international bit there is a variety of local goods as well.
There is usually a coupon that’s sent in the mail weekly to keep you coming back similar to Bed Bath and Beyond.
The associates welcome everyone and are very eager to help.
I like this store but wish the store front was more accessible and didn’t open onto a busy lot.

This place is great; they have a little bit of everything. Birthday cards? Got it. Salsa? Got it. Anything in between? Got that too. Two of my favorite finds here has been their salsa collection and their chocolate, I finally found my favorite chocolate that I hadn’t been able to find outside Europe. And if you’re looking for a unique gift, this is the place to go.

I’ve been becoming a big fan of World Market, especially around Thanksgiving/​Black Friday when they have great sales and freebies.
I dropped by here on Black Saturday and Sunday to grab a couple of things. Saturday, things were ok. The long wasn’t long and they had two cashiers. Sunday morning, we dropped in to grab some gifts and wine and thought we’d be out in 15 minutes. Wrong. There was only one person at the registers; one employee was manning the giveaway table in the back and one was manning the front door, giving away the freebie slips. The person at the register was having some issues with ringing up a customer’s purchase and we were in line for 20 – 25 minutes and there were only 5 customers ahead of us.
The employee at the door finally decided to open up a register and our turn came quickly after that. I don’t blame the employees, I blame management for not having enough staff on the floor to help. They probably didn’t anticipate a crowd on Sunday morning, but you must always have backup.
Also, another thing I noticed was that they keep their overstock on the top shelves above the items. I guess this is because they have no stockroom (?) but it’s very unsightly and potentially dangerous. This might be specific to this location because I did not see this at our World Market in West Hills.
I still like the store and they have great deals on wines. I’ll be back.

I always seem to find much more than the sugar-​free coffee syrups that I come for. I love this place.

Nice people: helpful and know how to find answers. Wine selection is great. Chocolate a bit overpriced. Highly recommend the sticky fingers scone mixes. My son loves the spicey ketchup I can only get here. At Xmas they have great stocking stuffers, décor and food. And their furniture is solid wood… Just wish it weren’t made in poor countries and shipped in.

How can I not enjoy imported goods? I tend to want things more when they’re out of reach. World Market is a great place to shop because you can find things that are not commonly placed in other stores. I love that!
My favorites are the snacks and candies, one of which are the Schultz Salty Stix, best pretzel sticks ever made! $ 5.99 for a 3lb bag. I will also check out the accessories. I love the eclectic mix they offer. It helps to be a World Market Explorer. Rewards, coupons, and the like.
Each time I’ve gone, I have had the pleasure of accommodating employees. I hope they continue this wonderful customer service as I grace their store with my presence.
I only gave it four stars because I would like to see lower prices, more sale or clearance items. But then again, most are imported hehe

I was on a mission to buy these cookie cutters where you can insert letters into the little slots to make them say whatever you want like Scrabble. The possibilities are endless. I found them in the cookie aisle! Mission accomplished.
My cousins and I went through the aisles finding cool things that you wouldn’t normally see in other stores. I love coming here once in a while. Such a wide variety of stuff. It’s a fun place to hang out.

I usually come here during the holidays to pick up German Christmas chocolates and candy. Prices are comparable to Tip Top in Carlsbad, but many of the items aren’t imported anymore. They’re produced here which makes the pricing a bit odd.

Cost Plus is one of those places I’ve been going to for many years. They have a lot of products that I love from outside the U.S., they have decent prices on wine and beer, great tea selection, etc.
Their furniture I find I’m not hugely fond of as the quality doesn’t seem particularly great. I have tried to look for dining chairs there, but I never see anything comfortable or worth buying. The coffee/​tea cups I’ve purchased there are fabulous, as are the napkins and placemats. But the water and wine glasses I’ve gotten from there in the past have always easily broken.
I have a favorite soap that World Market carries, but it costs $ 3 more per bar there than at Baron’s in Rancho Bernardo, so I just go to Baron’s to get my soap, unless World Market is having a sale.
I love the wrapping paper and cards that they have. And they also have some decorative stuff for the house that I like.
So I’m very careful about what I purchase from World Market. I love the place, and am a consistent customer, but not everything I purchase from here is of the best quality.

Fun store to browse through. One of the bigger World Markets I’ve been to.
They have a nice selection of international foods and wines. I was also looking for this Voodoo beer and they had it!
But expect prices to be a tad higher than other stores.

This place is like Pier 1 but with unique food and wine! I LOVE coming here around the start of the holidays; festive decorations, and all of the seasonal sweets, wines on display. And if I don’t feel like commuting all the way down to Mistuwa for Japanese candy, it’s a likely chance that I’ll find what I’m looking for here, plus more. Did I mention the candy section is gargantuan? You can find almost anything here to satisfy your sweet tooth.
This place is the best one stop shop for last minute Christmas gifts. You can definitely find something that’s small and tasteful here. :)

Great Store full of unique items from all over then world. You can definitely find things here that you’d find in a place like Pier 1, however, you’ll also find food and wine from all around the world and that’s what makes this place so great!
Lot’s of German food and beer which is great considering my husband is from Bavaria. This is the only local place I can find with a large supply and variety of German goods.
They also have a lot of paper goods and unique accessories like jewelry and gift items.
Only 10 minutes from Poway.

When I enter in World Market I don’t know if I am in an elevator (that sweet Brazilian music they put as background) or in a French movie (those remixed oldies from the cutest Frenchie singers of the 60s)…what I know for sure that if you are a fan of Tower Eiffel paraphernalia… that is your shop! I have even created a Facebook album called «Eiffel tower seems to follow me» with all the images of this iconic monument. Why there? Mistery! Ok, other than toilet paper shaped with the icon of La Cité de l’amour, you can also get pretty decent chocolates. From all over the world, including their generics that are also excellent and a very good prices. I have my own list of things that I shop there and nowhere else:
–Eiffel tower related useless yet cool items
–Castelvetrano olives
–Anchovies from Spain (canned)
–Chocolate filled with orange and rasperry
–Finnish candy
–Fancy pasta from Italy
–Wine
Also got several items to decorate my apartment, such as pretty curtains at very good price, pillows, candles and things for the bathroom (much stylish that Bath and Beyond conservative look).
The best for me this week: if you are a member, you get your $ 10 gift certificate. I got 3 Castevetrano olive jars yesterday with my happy coupon (there were on sale) and still got for a small choco bar:)
Ask for Alexis, he will help you with great gaytitude!

World Market is a great place to get «unique» items… whether you are looking for specialty foods (spices, chocolate, beer, soda, tea, etc.) or home goods this is a great place to look. I’ve found the perfect items for finicky family members and friends who have unique or eclectic tastes. World Market is my go-​to place for specific baking goods which are «hard to find» in general markets such as Ralph’s or Vons.

I love all world markets!
You can find the best kind of foreign goodies in here. If you ever had a tim-​tam slam, then this is where you’ll find them. The only thing here it’s called arnotts instead of tim-​tams. If you don’t know what that is, then you are missing out on all that chocolaty glorrrrry!
They have cultural furnishing designs sold here, but I don’t buy much of that. Though I do buy cookware here. The stuff they sell here is like high class «as seen on tv» equipment. It’s a cultural experience going into these places.
I do have to warn you though that some of the things here are pricey. The scarcity of the treats and goods here force the prices up.
The good thing about the world market chain is that they sell other goodies when the seasons change. If you want to taste the holidays in different countries without leaving the city then this is the perfect place for that.

Such a cool place to go to find unique foods, beers, gifts and home furnishings.
I usually go here during the holidays to look for fun favors or gifts.
You can usually find a coupon online before heading to the store.

World market is a great place to get:
DIY giftbasket stuff
Glassware — lots of styles of beer, liquor, and wine glasses that are inexpensive
Dishes and table settings
Strange but useful kitchen gadgets
Foreign Candy
Wood furniture
This World Market is pretty par for the course as far as World Market goes. I never go there without a coupon though. If you join their loyalty program there are always coupons available and there are some awesome deals throughout the year.

Came here to pick up some groceries. As a card member, you get perks by getting $ 10 savings coupons if you spend $ 30 or more. What a better way to stock up on my gnocchi and Italian sodas!
Purchased some groceries and got awesome deals, thanks to my $ 10 off!!!
Employees are very helpful and are willing to assist. I’m now aware that the Raspberry (my fave) and Lemon Italian sodas are now discontinued.
Bummer…
