Cost Plus World Market

Cool place. They always have coupons for people that sign up for their member’s club. Their food selection is unique. You cannot find anything like it… I guarantee. They have foreign products, which, in tangent, go along with other unique American products. I really like going here, but watch out for the zombies walking the aisles. They are to be avoided… at all costs. Maybe they’d fit in during filming for the next George A Romero movie, or during a trip to Trader Joe’s next door. :)

This place is phenomenal! I love coming in specifically for their food isles; where else am I going to get Polish candies, besides the Internet (or Poland)? World Market, that’s where! I stop in every once in a while to always pick up a new treat and browse the shelves. I love what they offer, in terms of products, but everything is hit and miss when it comes to quality (what place isn’t though?). On this trip, we ended up buying chocolate chips (to make pecan turtles) and some syrup to add to warm drinks (which I then get to pretend I’m a barista from Starbucks, making fancy flavored drinks). The prices are extremely competitive and often cheaper than other places, at least when it comes to grocery items. My only complaint is that employees seem to be few and far between (there are only like 3 people working every time I go in).
Will I be back? Uh, yeah!

This place is super dope!!!
My girlfriend took me here. I thought it was a international grocery store. But it’s a cool mixture of furniture and food. They sell a lot of kitchen utensils. A clean 8 piece plate set was only $ 12!
Furniture design is very modern and affordable.

So glad this store is back!
I like to wander the perimeters and find the sale sections. I have bought interesting food items for my brother-​in-​law, inexpensive placemats and napkins, a pair of cheap headphones for at my desk. You could spend hours in here!
I find the wine prices are pretty fair, usually only purchase here if it is on sale.

I love this place, my roommates and I come here when we are bored and always walk out with something. I love food so all the international foods and snacks are my fav things to browse when I’m here. The first time I came here I found Happy hippos which are chocolate filled wafers that look like hippos. I first had them in Italy and I fell in love and I knew it would be impossible to find them in any store in the U.S. I was so wrong! They have amazing furniture as well as dishes, kitchen gadgets, accessories and also a wine and beer locker.

This is my go-​to place during the holiday season for those unusual, one of a kind gifts. You know, non-​Target. How do you rate the price range on this place? Pretty much from $ 5.00 to $ 500, depends what you’re buying.

Always fun to wander around this place. The cool stuff is seldom very quality, however. I bought some wind chimes that sounded great in the store but when hung in a tree, were absolutely silent, would’ve taken hurricane force winds to get any sound out of them. Also, their candles are similar to Pier One candles in that they smell great until you light them, when they all turn into unscented candles.

I’m so happy World Market is back in MN! It took me what seemed like forever to make it there once it reopened though… and shame on me! What a whimsical mix of food and findings! I just love the variety this place has to offer! Make sure you check out their customer club. Turns out they also have a coffee program — and if you buy on Wednesdays you get double punches! They also have an extensive line of Torani syrups and tea if you are into those things… and whose not? :-) They also have a nice little liquor store that the rewards program gives you perks on, although I didn’t stop in that particular day so I’m not remembering what… shame on me again! I’ll try to remember to update when I get the scoop!

I haven’t actually had a chance to visit since the 2 locations re-​opened, and finally got a chance to visit this weekend.
And I’m so excited they re-​opened. I would have to say the food section is my favorite. My boyfriend loves Tim Tams so its nice to have a place we can get them (well, the Arnauds version, at least).
Like some of the other reviews, it seemed oddly laid out, slightly cluttered and too much ceiling compared to other ones I’ve been to. I haven’t been to Roseville yet but I work closer to there so maybe the reopened ones have more of this feel. But it still has all the same things and products that we’ve all grown to love.
The Bloomington location is licensed to sell wine and it has a great selection. I’ll be stopping at both for gifts and anything else.
Unilocal 100 — #7

As others have mentioned I’m pretty happy this joint decided to re-​enter the MN market. Why’d they leave? I stopped in to this location when in the area and, well, I like the Roseville one better, even sans booze store (which I was told would be opening soon, maybe has by now).
This location just seemed more chaotic than Rosev. It didn’t seem like there was any flow to the way products were placed. Stuff was in the way. Hard to explain but the vibe here was way off. And when I got to the food section many shelves were bare. I dunno… maybe they just had an off day or something but I live about equal distance from both places so I’ll just head to roseville. Maybe the best way to sum it up was the rosev store seemed ordered and ready for customers and this store seemed cluttered and unprepared.
I also noticed in their booze shack there is a LOT less selection than what it used to be. I haven’t been to the Trader Joes across the parking lot but based on past TJ’s experience, I’d just go there if I was looking to booze it up and needed to feel trendy while buying my liquids;)
This may seem critical, but it is constructively intended. I like World Market, I like that I can get lots of products here you can’t find elsewhere. I mean, I’ve never seen a box of 100 Twinings Earl Gray teas anywhere else, have you?! And my Japn gf just goes bonkers when she sees the Japn candies in that section. Mental note, in the interest of financial solvency, don’t bring gf along to this place anymore lol
Two thumbs up for coming back to MN.

I’m thrilled to have this old friend back in the neighborhood and in its same location. I just about cried when Cost Plus World Market let a couple of years ago, and every time I was out in California or Colorado noticed that they still had their locations.
Now, both the market and liquor store are open again, and the place is jumping. I prefer this location because it’s within walking distance from where I live, but there’s also the Roseville location, which is where I work. Hopefully we’ll see more pop up around Minnesota.
And I love the kiosk in the store to sign up for deals.
Thanks for coming back to the neighborhood!

So very excited to see that they were reopening… and I was not disappointed! Same location, same basic décor/​layout, same great selections and quality goods. Food products you can’t get easily (or in one place) anywhere else in town… and some foods I can’t find anywhere else.
A friend’s son was doing a contest to see who could try 100 different candies off this very unusual list… and was down to 1 he couldn’t find anywhere… and they had it at Cost Plus World Market.
