Cost Plus World Market

Customer service at its BEST!!!
Darrick Darrick Darrick!!! Major gold star medal of greatest honor and all that good stuff.
We bought a pair of crocheted floor poufs a few months ago and we just love them. But only to find that in recent days, ones been leaking styrofoam balls all over the place. Also… it’s a bit deflated. We kinda thought it was a hopeless ordeal but considering the price tag on each pouf, we called World Market anyways just to see what they recommend. Perhaps a way to open it up?! Dunno…
My husband spoke with a man who told us to just bring it in because it sounded like we got a defective one.
Since we live in Davis, we brought it in within the hour and the man who had helped my husband on the phone was ready to assist — that’d be Darrick. No questions asked, he took a look at our pouf, declared it defective, and went back to exchange it for a brand new one. Wuuuuuut!!!
We already love World Market for their plethora of coupons and deals in addition to their rewards program. But this in-​store rock star customer service just put us over the top. We left with a brand new pouf, that good fuzzy feeling, and prospective years of store loyalty.
Thanks Darrick :) You made our day.

They have lots of stuff here. Some edible, some not.
Even the Unilocal categories *Furniture Stores, Home Décor, Beer, Wine & Spirits* seem a bit random.
It seems to be a place where you can find a little of lots, but nothing extensively.

How have I never gone into one of these until now??? This place is so awesome! There’s so much stuff! And it’s not even at ridiculous process!
They sell various ways, such as:
Greeting cards
Wrapping paper
Jewelry
Scarves
Torani syrups
Old school bottled sodas!
A ton of candy, most notably (to me, anyway) more kinds of Haribo gummies than grocery stores carry
Furniture
Light fixtures
Kitchen stuff
Paintings
Alcohol
Etc.
I am quite enamored with this place now. It’s a good place to get moderately priced gifts! I will definitely be back.

I’m fairly certain that I can always find something interesting here, from Hobbit beer to marshmallow bunny poop. They have a good selection of kitchen ware and I can always count on finding beautiful mugs. The place is always clean and the staff are always so friendly. There’s also a good selection of furniture (chairs and such) but some styles can be pretty similar; you can always find adorable and unique home décor items too!
One thing I find pretty funny is that I can get instant miso tofu soup here cheaper than 99 Ranch (for $ 3.49? instead of $ 4.99). You’d typically think that things can be a bit expensive here, but if you sniff around, you can find somethings for a pretty decent price. There’s also an assortment of special sodas in glass bottles (which I love the most). You can always count on me to clear out a row of the ginger ale soda when I do get any. I’ve also found a wok here that’s only 10 bucks, decent for normal usage too.
Final Thoughts: Probably not the best place to buy a bed but you can pretty much find anything here.

This store is amazing! I love everything in it, and stop at any location I can find, but this one in Davis has amazing staff as well! I am always greeted and more than once while I am shopping their is always another sales person asking if I need any help. I always impressed by this store :)

I needed help in picking out a bottle of wine as a gift. I asked the lady there to help and she was super nice. Even though she didn’t know much about red wines, she referred me to the cashier to give me more recommendations. I thought it was a really nice gesture.
Unfortunately, I was little annoyed with their store policies. I get that this is a college town and there are probably tons of kids who bring their fake ids to the store to try to buy liquor. However, I was peeved that when I showed them my Washington state driver’s license, the cashier asked to see my California license (wtf?). I was confused, the security people at the airport accept my driver’s license, it is universally accepted but not here? Weird. The guy said that out of state licenses are easier to fake. That is disturbing… I told him to look at my face to see that I was obviously older than 21. He was nice and said that I didn’t look too old. I just thought it was very strange. He let me purchase the wine but it was a silly process to go through.

During my Davis days, this was one of the places I would frequent just to go browsing but then browsing becomes thinking and then thinking leads to buying and buying leads to Cup Ramen for the rest of the week for me. World Market offers a «plethora» of items from all over the world… ok, I can end this review now, I got to use my sweet new fancy word. They do have a lot of items though and I’m quite fond of their KINDER CHOCOLATE, in fact i have to avoid getting chocolatey-​wasted on them. Life is just better with hazelnut everything. The staff here are always nice and helpful.
PS. This place was also my first introduction to Spotted Dick Pudding, I kid you not, thats actually a thing. I immediately chuckled like an immature little boy and proceeded to take a photo of it and send it to my friends laced with sexual innuendos.
If you’ve never seen Spotted Dick, look for it. giggle. buy something. leave.

This store has all your home needs from lovey décor to your cooking supplies to wines and beers. Good selection of things and the staff are super friendly, I always make a stop in here when I need something.
Before giving this place a shot, I always thought it was expensive and quite pricey. However, after taking a close look at certain item, it is actually pretty worth it. Some items are on par with buying them online. I got my cast iron pan here and paid less than as I would have off amazon. Also, check out the items that they make them selves, although they are generic versions the quality is not bad and usually a lot cheap than the name brand too.
Finally, good wines beers and coffees to check out in the back. Give this place a try guys. You might just find what you are looking for.

Biscoff. Spread.
Enough said.

There a lot of interesting items here. This is definitely the place to shop for an out-​of-​the-​ordinary gift in Davis. However, most of the items here are relatively pricey.

Love this store. Great deals on wine, tons of cute stuff, exotic foods, coupons all the time. Great place for Holiday shopping and gift-​y purchases.
Good place to go for wine advice since they employ someone specifically to manage the wine and beer section.

I was here in town and I decided to look at their assortment of imported teas. I ended up becoming more interested in their kitchen accessories. They got some interesting gadgets for poaching eggs, omlet, shaping your egg and etc etc. I though that was hilarious.
Overall this place is like many other World Market stores. They have the imported displays of windchimes, sarongs, costume jewelry, furniture, wines, candies, snacks and more.
I can stay in here for hours just visualizing many beautiful things I can do to my place. It can get addicting just going through your mind over and over again what you can do. In the end you realistically say to yourself, «Yah thats what I want. Next time.» Your WISH LIST just gets longer and longer.
The worker were extremely nice. They helped me out finding more varieties of sarongs that just came in.
It’s always a joy to be here.

This is totally one of those great stores where you walk in with nothing on your list and end up leaving with 10 items that you decided you «could not live without» while aimlessly wandering around.
I love shopping here for any gift for anyone. One of my favorite tricks it to buy an unusual container (ex. an extra large martini glass, a mixing bowl, a bucket, etc) and fill it with little goodies that describe the theme of the party.
Cost Plus also has a great assortment of foreign foods. I grew up in The Netherlands and there are certain Dutch food items that I can only find here.
The wine selection is another reason why I am so in love with this store. So many choices, wide range of prices, and always a good new find!
I have never had a bad experience with the staff here either. Everyone is always in a good mood, cheery when you walk in and offer plenty of help.

While I would love to say that I frequent this store for their beautiful array of dishware and crockery, I actually come here solely for the chocolate.
Let me explain. I travel. A LOT. And it is my humble opinion that chocolate everywhere else in the world is far superior to American chocolate, not to seem unpatriotic or anything. Whenever I travel, my first stop is usually to a gas station, where I can load up on all the creamy standards of whatever country I’m in.
When I get too much of a craving for my foreign sweets, I stop off here, at Cost Plus World Market. Yes, the price of my candies are usually exorbitant, but here I can satisfy my craving for minty Aero bars, the most wonderful Kinder bars, my hazelnut Milka treats, the best malt balls ever, Maltesers, and of course, my all time favorite candy bar, that for some absurd reason is no longer sold in the US, Mars bars.
There’s really nowhere else that I can grab all my favorite candies at the same time. While the price of all these chocolates makes my wallet cringe, it’s cheaper than a plane ticket to Europe. As I type, I’m finishing my last Kinder Riegel… time to go back for more.

Super nice and helpful employees! I normally just come here to explore after a hard day’s work of school. They have some pretty quirky things that make for great last-​minute presents. They have a huge selection of alcohol, soda, and other drinks, along with a bigger selection of snacks and other edible goodies.
This place is very pricey, so don’t buy what you don’t need; Trader Joe’s is right across the way. But, if you do purchase something here, make sure you’re a member because you’ll get some awesome coupons!
Also, if you buy edible goods from here, make sure you check the dates, they don’t take all expired things off the shelves.

This place is awesome. It has the best novelty items and has something to amuse everyone — at least I think so. Wine, teas, furniture, dinnerware, cookware, food, birthday cards, soaps, and do much more. I found my dream Jean Dubost Laguiole steak knives hiding out on the clearance rank. Coming here, scouring the sale section, and finding something unexpected just makes my day. And if I don’t find anything I still enjoy walking around just to browse.

When you’re in a bind on what to buy your friend for her birthday, Cost Plus is the place to be! From jewelry to toiletries to international foods to alcohol… this place has it all. I like how you can find deals on snacks and they always have discounts on an array of items.

Its like every other World Market that you’ve ever been to, but I really like the staff here, so they get an A+ for customer service. They have always been really kind and helpful with finding items that may be buried in their stock someplace. For big item things, especially patio furniture, its best to just hold off… eventually its going to go on sale. Its predictable, like death and taxes. So save yourself 20−50% and just be patient. You will be rewarded.
Oh yeah, the best thing about this place is their collection of enamel-​coated cast iron cookware. Its almost exactly like Le Creuset, but waaaayyyyy cheaper. I love them, and they keep expanding the line, which is awesome. Love it! This is also a great place to buy classic white porcelain bake-​ware (e.g. for tarts, pies, souffles, etc).

I like rummaging around this place and looking @ things I want to buy but probably shouldn’t or can’t afford. I went here looking for gifts once and ended up buying like a 4 dollar wine case which is expensive but @ least it was cool looking. I’ve also bought a ton of ramekins from here which are real nice looking. They have a sale section which is worth checking out and it’s cool that they have a good number of international snackage.

World Market is my choice of store when I need my candy fix. Their grocery section stocks plenty of goodies from all around the world. My favorite are the strawberry straws YUM! The only down fall about World Market is that some of the prices for their stuff are pretty ridiculous. $ 5.99 for a container of candy? okay, don’t get me wrong. I’d be willing to pay for a container of candy if it were filled with it. But no. world market has these containers that has a hollowed out triangle on the bottom of the container. So you’re probably only getting about ¼ of the container’s size worth or product. Their packaging are really deceptive! I did notice that now they package them in ziplock baggies but the candy i want are still in the plastic containers :(
But if you’re in need of a bunch of ethnic food, world market definately has all of that in one location. PLUS, they have these super cool rolling shopping baskets (kind of like a rolling luggage)!
