Cost Plus World Market

Stopped in here to get some basic Mason jars. It was busy because of the holiday season, but they had what I was looking for and helped out in a pinch. I had gone to the one in Portland, OR before I left in search of some nicer decorations… But most were big and gaudy. No real wood and cute decorations. So that was disappointing. Anyhow they are OK depending on what you are looking for.

I went here looking for a kitchen gadget — a sushi-​making kit, for a Yule gift. While they had everything I could want for serving the stuff, they had nothin’ for making it. Okay — shops won’t always have what I want, so that really loses them no stars. They had a bunch of stuff that I didn’t want, some other goodies that I did buy, and a few things I yearned toward, but restrained myself. Getting help was a bit of a challenge — every staff member I ran into for the first 20 minutes was obviously busy doing other stuff — but this was Xmas shopping season, and to be expected. When I finally cornered a couple of the staff to ask about my goal, they were remarkably helpful and pleasant — and when they couldn’t sell me what I wanted, they were happy to point me to a shop that did sell what I wanted. They lose a star on layout, and how cramped the aisles are, which would be (I assume) less of an issue outside of shopping hell month. That said, they have a really good assortment of goods, and every staff member I dealt with was cheerful, helpful, and knowledgeable. I’ve got a pretty well setup kitchen for myself already — but I’ll be back, even if some of their prices strike me as being a tad high.

I’m officially the president of the CostPlus World Market fan club. You know why? I bought a dining table, the Soorav, there in 2003. I think it cost me $ 350. That thing was solid wood, 7 ½ feet long, and wore like iron. I finally replaced it last year because I got tired of looking at it and now it’s at the in-​laws house, looking like the day I brought I home.
All their wood case goods are that way… They wear forever and a day and although they’re more expensive a decade later, they’re still a much better value than Pottery Barn or any other furniture joint. I can’t say the same about their upholstered pieces… They use weird, cheap foam, so only buy if it won’t get much use. But the rest of their furniture will go the duration.
Their decorative pieces are also cute and well-​priced when on sale. Their kitchen and dining pieces and china are awesome… They riff off of anthropologist and PB and Crate and Barrel so you can try some out of the box décor without breaking the bank. And their food… Ah, their food. Yum. I always seem to come out with a new foreign delicacy and a cold soda.
The service is on point. Love the manager… He’s been there forever and he recognizes me and always says hi. The staff is laid back and very knowledgable if you have questions. Just love them.

This is a one-​stop shop for when you intend to re-​invent yourself but only have about 45 minutes to pull it off. It’s all laid out for you, start in the SW corner and work clockwise. You’ll need a thick-​glass bottle with pour, infused olive oil, a set stemless wine glasses, a bottle of Port, a Boston shaker, spherical ice-​cube mold, Hefeweizen, blood orange tea, dried lavender flower, saffron, Maille Dijon mustard, Gouda, bamboo place matts. Then grab a conical lamp with silk screen bird on the shade and you’re ready for check-​out!

You can’t go wrong at the World Market. This is such a great store to go look around in, but typically looking turns into buying but that’s okay… You have to live a little and try new things. I am typically not a coffee person, but they have wonderful coffees (which you can always get samples of). They also have a really great selection of teas. At least twice a year, they will offer their teas buy one get one free, and that is the best time to stock up! They have a great wine selection and really cool snacks, food, toys, and home-​goods. This is a great place, and it has something great for everyone. You can’t go wrong here.

Lots of stuff, well stocked for Christmas shopping. I can’t ever seem to walk out of this store without buying something, whether it’s decorative, useful or edible. If you’re looking for interesting chotzkies, furniture or food that you can’t find in the regular stores, give this place a go.

I wish the store is in a different location in town, maybe the spot where Hobby Lobby is off Wyoming and Montgomery, for example.
Though I love the fact of how many varieties of goods they carry, I’m not sure about the freshness of the food items, especially snacks.
It’s relaxing to browse through the store and fun to look at all the tea and coffee selections they have. I also bought wines from here, too.
Hope they get good amount of traffic where it is located now.

What a fun place to be. I am not a big fan of shopping but I enjoyed going to this place and walk around. They have a variety of collections from different places, hence the name.
They carry these Hawaiian chips that we have been looking for everywhere since we moved to NM from CA.
Their wine collection probably is not the greatest given the name of the place, i was expecting more than just what they have. But they do have a worker, this of-​aged worker name Maggie knows a lot about wines and she recommended a few sparkling and ice-​wines that we thoroughly enjoyed. She knew where they came from and how should they be served. She is a keeper for sure.

I love Cost Plus. It’s such an interesting blend of stuff. Furniture. Dishes and glasses. Kitchen gadgets. Gourmet foods. Coffee. And a wide selections of beers and wines. Some rather hard to find, in fact. The store can feel a little eclectic, chaotic even, but it all makes sense once you walk around a bit. The staff are always happy to help, but never troublesome. The prices are maybe a bit on the high side, especially for the furnishings, but generally not bad. This is definitely one of my go-​to shops.

Always a fun adventure shopping here. I never leave empty handed. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great variety. Generally well stocked. Recent redesign has made the shopping isles too tight though. Hard to get around without knocking something over.

I could spend TONS of time and and lots of money in this store. Wine, candy, home ware, cards, coffee, holiday decoration you name it are scattered around this large store. They have an INCREDIBLE candy selection and an international wine/​beer selection. If you like to purchase stocking stuffers for Xmas — this is your one-​stop-​shop. I only gave it 4 stars bc of the service. Only one line was open and I had to wait for 10 minutes to check out.

I know a lot of people like this place but, honestly, I am surprised that this store exists as a major chain.
They stock a strange assortment of furniture, housewares, and foods from around the world.
I only give it three stars because the candy selection is killer. I grew up in Germany and this is one of the few places to find some of the better Deutsch stuff as well as other Euro confections.

World Market, thank you for somehow making me feel so festive and virtuous while buying cheap, unnecessary crap for my family over the holidays. Your cheap, unnecessary holiday crap is the best cheap, unnecessary holiday crap of all, hands down.
When I recently asked one of your managers to discount a damaged tree oranament, he told me I could have it. Granted, he wouldn’t look up and into my eyes when he said it, but it was a kind gesture just the same. Hung a certain way, you can’t even see the broken bit on the back of the ornament.
You would be surprised to know what treasures you can discover in the dumpster behind World Market. I had an uncle who was an expert dumpster-​diver, and with a bit of ingenuity and a few minor repairs, he could take the discarded items from a World Market dumpster and turn them into beautiful gifts for the family.

I hate that I want almost to buy almost everything in he joint. The site is a bit grimy, but also charmy like the kid at the playground covered in dirt with the red Popsicle around his mouth.

I’m a big fan of Cost Plus stores as a general statement but have been frustrated by this one on more than one occasion. Most recently I got a raincheck on a piece of furniture and was told it would be in stock in a few weeks. I was quite surprised to get a message on my phone stating it came in a few days later. When I drove over to the store, however, no one could find the piece anywhere in the store. I was told it was either not in yet or had been sold. Seems like some poor communication going on there.

I have been to multiple cost plus stores around the country and this location is the worst. Staff very unfriendly and almost argumentative with customers. Also prices/​sales not clearly marked on products so you get an unpleasant surprise when you get to the register. Really not sure why this location is so subpar compared to other branches
