World Market & Cafe, not to be confused with the US chain retailer of the same name selling imported goods. This World Market is located in Hollywood, Florida, it is an international grocery store. This store is so packed with merchandise, and the isles are very narrow, while the shoppers are coming through from every direction with their carts. It is messy and chaotic. They have mostly Russian products, there's also Japanese, Swiss, Turkish and much more. Their prices are higher since the products are imported. The name is misleading since there is no Cafe. You can certainly buy everything necessary and have it at home. They also have some fresh, and some unique fruits and vegetables. If you're looking for an international product or if you'd like to try something different, stop by the World Market & Cafe. read more

This place sucks it has absolutely no one that speaks English they look at you crazy when you asked for advice or where something is and the other day I went in there to get quarters so I can do laundry and they told me I have to buy some thing which I understand but I used to be every day customer read more

I had an extremely unpleasant experience at The World Market in Hollywood. After spending half an hour shopping and another half hour waiting in line, something very unpleasant happened. I picked up a loaf of bread, but the plastic tie that sealed it slipped off. I held the bread, looked at it, and decided I had every right not to buy it if I didn't want to. I put it back on the shelf. At the register, the employee accused me in a very arrogant tone, saying she saw what I did, that I wasn't going to buy it, and because of that, I wasn't allowed to buy anything else there. She took all the products I had purchased, and I left extremely frustrated. I don't care about shopping there again, but it's not normal to be treated like that, just because a tag slipped off. The way I was treated felt like something out of Soviet-era communism read more

This review is addressed to the manager/leader or owner of the World Market & Cafe store (WM&C), who was involved in a conflict betwee me and his supervisor-cashier in the store. After asking him to discuss the problem in the office, he rejected my request with words "Let everyone hear". What was it? Was it the act of professionflism ? It's noticeble that the store is declining and deteriorating in quality and ethics. Beside of everything that I wrote and stated, I would like to remind or draw your attention that during 9 years, I left in your store around $40K, and in last 3.5 years (after openning Euroland, NetCoast and Aldi) additional $9K - $10K that came in totall $49K - $50K. And it is minimum! You pay salary to your employees who sometimes forget that they work in the USA. However, finally, as a result, me and other customers are getting rudness and boorishness from your employees for our own money that were paied in WM&C. Is it ashameful ? I hope that a little, but conscience is still present in people working under your leadership in WM&C. read more

One of the best European markets! I found this place last year after a Christmas event in Hollywood. The store is small and the isles are packed with imported goods. It's hard to maneuver your cart but be patient, it's all worth it. I absolutely love their long stem roses. Their cakes are fascinating with such intricate detail. Their produce is fresh due to the amount of people shopping there. Head cheese was a wonderful find. My grandfather liked that very much. The lox is excellent quality and always available. Ground chicken is popular here for making patties. Funny thing, when so many other markets were out of pastina, I found it here. read more

Customer Beware! Always check expiration days! Always double check prices, they like to play games and reprice from pound to "each". Super Shady. Popular Produce that was priced $1.99 lb, went to $1.99each - if you expect me to pay Whole Foods prices, you better have Whole Foods cleanliness and quality! Shameful behaviour time after time. read more

Coming back from shopping rather frustrated. When did it become a norm that it is absolutely impossible to find a shopping cart. Carts are thrown sporadically around the parking, because cart return stand is non-existant. Carts are old, beat-up and dirty, and still to get one you need to escourt someone who finished shopping to their car in order to get one. Owners seem to be extremely cheap and not to care about customers in general. read more

I finally stopped in. I was taken back to my NY days of outdoor fresh fruit stands and Russian grocery stores dotting the neighborhood. There is a huge selection of different ethnic foods, prepared foods, meats, cheeses, salads, etc. The prices seemed very reasonable as well. It does get busy with lots of shopping carts coming from all directions but I will certainly return to try more unique items. read more

This place is an Eastern European gem. They had decently priced produced their tropical fruits were high & a lot of it is spoiled or spoiling, so they definitely could drop the prices. I loved that they had a lot of ethnic deli foods. Most products aren't in English but I'm still tempted to try some things. Their pasta & canned sauces, veggies, jams, etc we're impressive. I was also taken aback by the selection of sweets. read more

Have been Shoping here for years . I like all the imported jar stuff . I recently went in to buy raw honey , jams you can't get in the local market . I also love the the potato knishes. The bread selection is awesome and I love you can get lox cheap . The produce section is nice but I prefer to buy my produce elsewhere because I am super picky vegan . Every time I am here I buy some of the candy and pastries as well as the sea weed salad and carrot salad . If you haven't shopped here, it's worth a try to see different products but bring a friend who can translate. Thanks for reading my post. read more

I recently discovered this grocery store, and I'm genuinely impressed by their selection. They constantly introduce unique products, like American heirloom apples, which were incredibly fresh and delicious. They also bake some really nice bread that I enjoy. I love finding fresh mint there as well as other items like high-quality smoked fish. This store always surprises me with its variety and freshness, making each visit a pleasant experience. read more

World Market & Cafe - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I LOVE this market. I do. No where else in Hollywood (that I know of) where I can get smoked sardines, goat feta and cod liver... OH YUM. On really hot days, I enjoy exploring their beer refrigerator with all the different kinds of beers I've never heard of. I go stock up on smoked sardines in olive oil. Cod Liver.. and tomorrow, I'm going to get me some mackerel. Walmart & Amazon sell smoked sardines, but they are more expensive. Costco sells them, but they are too far away from Hollywood. And I really like to go through the tiny aisles and explore the shelves of food. I've never bought anything from the meat counter... Never sat and eaten at a table. But I can tell you I've been buying my sardines and cod liver for many years, here. read more

Lots of great findings including veggies, fruits and produce also products from Europe as well as Russia and Ukraine The parking is limited but the flow of people is manageable. I was really surprised with the freshness of the products, the prices are really good as well. I bought $35 worth in veggies, I know on the big supermarkets I would have paid way more. I'm thankful. Loved the variety of peppers and potatoes. The young lady who assisted me told me that there was a promo on limes because I only grabbed 3. Super nice and great customer service. read more

I have passed this place over a thousand times. I always see people buying the fruit outside. I figured they have s high turnover. I went into today and the fruit to me was definitely second quality for the price. I opened my gooseberries there was one that was moldy. That never happens at WF when I buy there. Maybe this is more of an European market I walked around, but just ended up getting some fruit and vegetables and left. I don't think I would go back ever. read more

Oh, what luck! I had a craving for black bread, we were driving around attempting to kill time, and we happened to pass by this Russian market. We stopped and found that it's essentially a little supermarket. The place is a bit dated and there were many expats around, so I guess the place is authentic. They have a hot food bar, too, which I want to go back to try another day. Seeing as I don't have experience with these type of markets, though, I'm hesitant to rate higher. I may have found what I was looking for, but it was frozen and I haven't tried it yet. That and walking around, well, it was a bit difficult. Many people and very tight aisles. read more

World Market & Cafe - They have a minimum to use your card. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Yes a Russian grocery and at amazing prices. I bought the frozen pelmeni, frozen blini, prepared chicken soup, prepared borscht, and prepared olivier. All were delicious and tasted just like what my mom used to make at home. Plus some sour cream and it all came out to $25. They had other authentic food such as shuba, fish, desserts, compote, etc. The fruit and vegetables out front all looked super fresh, if I lived in the area I would get those as well. But since I don't live in the area, I'll just have to come by every couple months and get my fill! read more

It doesn't look like anything when you pass by, I have been driving past this place for YEARS. I finally decided to stop in while visiting the Euro market next door and this place is the real deal for everything that you could ever want Ukrainian, Georgian and Russian. There's a huge meat and sausage selection as well as a wine section in the back. Do not miss the cakes next to the registers up front! read more

I went here out of a recommendation from a colleague. This place looks pretty run down, on the inside, and the outside. There's a parking lot on the side, along with fruits and veggies displayed before the entrance, and immediately when you walk in. I didn't feel like buying any of it; it just seemed unclean to me. There's a deli off to the right, and when I walked up and told them this is my first time there, and asked the difference between a couple of different sausages, boy they could not have cared any less, and been any more unwelcoming. This staff looked miserable. The deli prices are very reasonable; we picked up hot salami and many different kinds of kielbasa/kabanosy. The skinny dark smoked kabanosy was outstanding, with an excellent meat flavor and the perfect amount of smoke. The medium diameter dark kabanosy had a poor sour taste. The skinny lower priced light kabanosy was a bit too fatty and not smoked enough. Throughout the rest of the store they had lots of European items on shelves. We picked up a bag of European Aroma Gold coffee beans for only $5. Checking out at the cash register, again the staff was not friendly at all. read more

This is one of those places that you pass a thousand times but never go in. So out doing my errands during Covid 19 shut down and I stop here to pick up some limes. It was a Saturday and parking lot was packed. Got on an extremely long line and waited to get in. Picked up some limes on the outside but needed to get inside to pay. Once inside I went to check it things out. Well the contents matched the name for this place because most items were in foreign writing from some place in the World. I made it all the way to the back and came back through on the other side. There is where the check out line was. Finally it gets to the front and I see their is also a cashier close to where I first entered he store. I will know better for next time. Any way pleasant enough just not anything I wanted or needed other than the limes. read more

I thought the hot buffet at dinner time was pretty good, mostly because of how unusual the entrées were. It is an eastern Europe grocery store about 1/4 of the size of a Publix. Although the store is about 100 yards from my front door. I don't shop there often because I am mobility impaired and cannot read the labels on grocery items because they are in Russian I think. read more

If you're looking for a supermarket with fresh produce and great prices this is the place. This place is always busy (ALWAYS) but I don't mind. It's mainly a Russian/Ukrainian supermarket with a lot of imported goods from that region. Stuff you won't find at Publix or Walmart. You will find cheese, ham, and even sausages from Russia and other parts of Eastern Europe. They also have various types of European chocolates, jelly, sauces, cooking ingredients, you name it-they have it! The supermarket also has fresh bread everyday as well with pastries. They also have a small Buffett where they offer different kinds of Russian/Ukrainian dishes everyday. It's mainly a To-go buffet since there's no place to sit and eat. I have compared prices to Publix and Walmart and you can definitely get cheaper prices on fruits and vegetables at this supermarket! I mainly go here for the European sunflower bread that they have and also their cold cuts and cheeses. For example, Manchego at Publix is almost $21 per LB while at World Market, it's $12 per LB. Same cheese, same brand, just cheaper. You can't beat that. Due to the panic of what's going on in the world at the moment, lines have been extremely long, but worth the wait! read more

What a find this place is great. It's a little European market with so much inside. They have fresh vegetables and herbs here. They have a big variety of dumplings. I actually like there valet dumplings.they are really good they also have chicken and beef and Perogue. Both exelent. I was very happily surprised with the variety of Honey. I I have not seen so many diferent types and colors in my life. They all look delicious. There is a deli here too. They have meats and sausages. I have bought some of the sausages here. It's diferent but a must try. To my surprise they sometimes have chocolate, Yes chocolate. They make really good bread here. The bread also goes fast. I have been here a few times hopping to buy and no luck. I always get a multigrain darker bread and it is great with a little butter. This small supermarket is great it has so many little things to try. I always buy something here to try at home. The products are written in another language but the people here more like the customers ate really helpful. read more

Great prices and the food is fresh . People just don't get it because it's different and not like an American supermarket

Few days ago was in really uncomfortable situation. We came to the store 5 mins before without knowing that they are not open yet, but the door was open and few more people were inside doing shopping. We were staying and thinking what to buy without disturbing anyone and there was a young girl with blind hair in a meat and cheese section. She told us that they not open yet with fully disrespectful and loud voice.I have never seen there this type of people before. But now im pretty sure that im not gonna go there again read more

You would think that with 24/7 summer in Florida finding a place with a big variety of fruits and vegetables for reasonable prices would be easy. After living a month in Fort Lauderdale I find it a problem for some reason. There are certainly many stores selling fresh produce but most of them have Whole Foods like prices and with my daily juicing habits it's kind of a problem. Now this place can finally be a good solution! Loads and loads of fruits and vegetables for prices that are a bit lower than in bigger super markets. I bought over 15lbs of apples, carrots and beets and will be back again for more. There is one downside though, most of the produce they sell is conventionally grown. I did not see any organic vegetables at all. For organic produce I will have to look elsewhere. read more

World Market & Cafe - Big selection of fruits and veggies - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

Today 5/14/22 at around 4:55 pm after shopping for 8 years in this store, I was brutally irrespected by the Security Guard Carlos, a hispanic mestizo as he noticed that a box of beer that was placed in the bottom shelft of my shopping car was forgotten. As I was leaving the store, - which does not have a bar code alarm- the guard probably saw it and waited for us to leave and this guard screamed at us to return to pay. I immediatedly realized that we forgot to pay the beer; returned to the cashier and noticed that the guard continued very loudly to speak with another cashier about me and the beer in a very disrespectful manner. At this time, I asked my cashier to direct me to the Store Manager who was no help and was as rude as the guard and seemed uncaring about the store customers and the treatment delivered by the store staff. My brother was on the front of the store and witnessed another customer coming onto my defense and tokd the Security Guard that the manner and delivered of his alert was rude and on call for. The guard basically banned the customer out of the store as he was the store owner. And the customer just answered that the Security guard would no longer be employed there. Then this guard told the customer screaming in his face F*** you. My brother went to this guard and spoke to him in Spanish and told him that his behavior to all customers no matter the race and language was unacceptable as my brother speaks also English, Russian Polish, and Spanish. Seek an alternative store. I will seek legal action after this treatment of harrassment, aggressive treatment, threatening behavior and obviously ratial discrimination. read more

Nice place good food service good as well fro a quick morning coffee and pastry. Eggs were good too

After visiting this store for two yrs I have to say I just am not going back! Staff are like manikins. Never a smile, not accommodating, very harsh and cold. Screwed up my deli order on every item because of language barrier ( i asked to talk to someone who understood english). After trying to explain the difference in their jumbo hotdogs vs the regular ( and even asked for a manager because the deli clerk insisted they were the same brand and she wouldn't open the bag of jumbos until the regular ones were sold) the manager spoke to the girls then basically muttered " they are the same" and took off without resolution. I literally drove from ft laud to hollywood just for those hotdogs. After dealing with multiple inept, unhelpful, rude people, i left my basket of items on the shelf and walked out! Bu-bye Old World. You need to step it up a notch!! read more

The people who are afraid of coming here are probably the whitest people that you know (or just always like blaming others). First, they're open everyday until 9:30pm. Next, they have a lot of fresh produce which is less expensive than the place next door. They also carry a lot of European stuff as well as other items that are aren't easy to find (why is it so hard to find jalapeños around here?). It can take a slight while when it's crowded but grab a Milka bar while you wait (and don't forget to pay for it) and be patient. Cashiers are quick but friendly. read more

Objective met & delicious food obtained at great price. Delighted. Service excellent. Products & produce fresh. Glad we can visit often.

It is just an okay russian store in Hollywood. I like other russian stores much better even though I am generous and adding 2 stars. Pros: - Few products are cheaper than in other russian stores - They accept credit cards for small amounts Cons: - Very little store with little selection, hard to move through small isles - Some employees always have an "angry face" on. Every time I go there, there is a cashier girl who looks like she hates her job a lot. I have never seen her smile. This is the reason I try to go to other stores where people are happy and friendly. read more

I am not Eastern European, but I love trying new things. I was intrigued by reviews praising this place as the best Eastern European grocery in South Florida, so I decided to check it out last weekend. Parking was a little tricky. We didn't realize at first that there are spots on both the north and the south sides. Once we discovered the parking on the north side, we found a spot easily enough. Heading inside, this place feels very authentic. Everyone is speaking Russian or Serbian or Polish and there are a great many unique Eastern European products. I went for the frozen pierogies and got one bag of potato/mushroom and one bag of blueberry. I also picked up some sour cherry preserves and some moskovskie hlebtsi, which was kind of like mandel bread and went great with coffee. I would love to go back here with an Eastern European friend/tour guide. Although most of the products are in English and the people are helpful, I'm sure this place holds many more treasures if you know what you're looking for. read more

I love European food. I am myself of Eastern Europe descent. This store offers many items from the region. They salami style dry sausage is a must to try. Goes very well with beer. Whole bunch of different dumplings stuffed with meat, cheese and fruit. Look at the frozen section. It's to die for. They use while flour versus rice flour in Asian version. This makes all the difference. read more
