World market is one of my all time favorite decor shops and this location has all you want and more! Their home decor accessories and little trinkets are all superb and I can get lost in this store for hours. The only downside to this location is the service is pretty awful; it's incredibly challenging to find anyone on the floor, there is always a huge line with one or two cashiers and the cashiers usually can't do much or don't know as much as maybe they should as almost everything requires a manager to come over (which also always takes a while). Regardless of service, I will never get sick of World Market and all of their amazing home finds! I always wait for the sales they have going on throughout the year to snag items at a discounted price. After a major holiday, all leftover holiday decor goes on a crazy sale so I always stop by immediately after a holiday ends! read more

I love world market especially when they have sale on red lines 50 per off you would never think they sell clothes but I love the clothes, the food all around the world, the teas, and the homedecor. I also love seeing Harry Potter items and Hello Kitty :)) I'm such a kid. read more

Very bad service. I sat my items on counter she said she couldn't reach push them fwd. This completely untrue. Than I had 2 irons first item she could find was taking to much time then she asked for manager. So we left. read more

World Market has an assorted collection of items for the home, as well as a large selection of diverse domestic and international foods. They have a small assortment of beer, wine, and soft drinks. The store appears much more open with less inventory than in the past. Some of the items available are bath/spa and personal care products, lamps, window treatments, and affordable furniture. In addition, they carry many choices of kitchen essentials and consumables, as well as a varied selection of teas and coffees. If one is not in a rush, there are many items to be discovered. Happy hunting! read more

So I bought a lot of holiday items which was great I found most of what I was looking for. I went on a Sunday and it was super busy! They're constantly changing this store dependent on the season. They have great prices on international goods. The restrooms can be iffy. Some of the furniture smells weird like pesticides. The bakeware and kitchen gadgets are nice. Drink selection is decent as well. Also great place to find some of those more rare flavors of drink syrups and spices! Overall I like this store I come here a lot. Mostly gadgets and food. read more

Had a delightful shopping experience with World Market. I needed some very particular, exceedingly difficult-to-find gift items. I found and ordered precisely what I was looking for on WM's website, and arranged for in-person pick-up. The following day I made it in, did a bit of additional browsing, discovered a few other perfect little gift items, then headed to checkout. The helpful clerk quickly retrieved my carefully-packaged online order, rang up my additional items, and away I happily went. While that afternoon's schedule didn't allow me the time to check out all their other intriguing displays and wares, I look forward to my next visit, when I plan to wander about to my heart's content. read more

Really good visit. Got some German chocolate and some peeps. Staff were all very nice. And said my son was super cute.

Handsome husband and I visited yesterday, on the hunt for 2 dining chairs, and had a lovely experience with the staff here! We found our chairs, they were 50% off, then when we were checking out, the lady helping us, Diane, let us know we could get another 15% off for joining their loyalty program. We ended up saving $236!!!! Fabulous staff, thank you ladies so much! read more

Ordered this beautiful piece online. Real fast shipping since it only took 2 days for the notification that it was ready for pickup at the store. So easy.. after we bought one, we had to get 2 more. Spacious inside with three wide shelves. Tight shut and built well read more

I love making a trip into slo when I know I'll be stopping my cost plus world market. I was on the hunt for a basket or decor to match two vintage rugs I've recently purchased somewhere else. As soon as I walked in the door I found the perfect basket! Cost plus honored the 10% off pick up in store right on the spot. Saving me $10 . This store is always clean, clutter free, organized and plenty of staff to help answer any questions you may have. read more

World Market - Gorgeous basket to go with my vintage rugs! - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This is a chain store, which is within walking distance of the Embassy Suites San Luis Obispo. It has pretty good prices and selection of furnishings, kitchen, cookware, and specialty foods and craft alcohols. If you live in the area or are visiting your kids at Cal Poly-SLO, you can shop here and pick up other items at Bed Bath & Beyond, which is also within walking distance of the hotel. read more

World Market is such a fun place to shop! I love checking out their kitchen ware, little trinkets, holiday decor, and of course - the international imported snacks! I find a lot of the decor items to be a bit overpriced but the store does offer good deals when they have promotions. I just picked up some beautiful stockings, ornaments, and lots of great candy for a very good price. I highly recommend stopping in here when you're looking for some international sweets, unique spirits, or fun gifts. read more

I think everyone knows this chain.... but this one in SLO is one of the nicer ones in terms of customer service. One nice young fellow went out of his way to help me & some other customers. Another one pointed out the clearance section. Of course the gourmet international foods are not cheap....but they are not much more than in Whole Foods & are far more diverse. This area of the Central Coast has very few ethnic groceries. ...but besides this place, there is: Debu on Price St. in Pismo Beach with tons of Asian & Filipino goods at great prices. Enjoy Euro Deli in AG on Grande Ave. next to the Dollar Tree ...for all kinds of Eastern European & other goodies (they also made all kinds of homemade soups & food that you can eat there..like Borsht...yum). There is also a small Indian place near Morro Bay. Anyway, despite the slim Chinese section in Cost Plus, it is fun to browse. Sadly, they have very few local wines. ...as opposed to the amazing selection at Von's in Grover or at Cal Fresh. They do have a interesting beer selection & several types of good Belgian beers. Also love the funny labels (see my pics)...like "ME SO HONEY" "STOOPID" and more. :) read more

Shopping at Cost Plus World Market is like a mini-trip to exotic lands! Ever since I experienced the original store on the Piers in San Francisco, I love the hand crafted feel of many of the arty objects they sell, as well as the straight up good design of many of the furniture pieces. My closet is full of their "Campaign" series shelves, which hold all my goods for a fraction of the price of the usual closet systems. I got a set of their now standard oval backed velvet seat chairs with a matching table for my home, and love the driftwoody greige color. Our outside patio table is an end of the season Cost Plus find. Probably best of all are the decorations for every imaginable season. Each year there is a new style, and I save them from year to year, reusing favorites. My most recent purchase was a petite set of four stoneward bowls, each a different shade of brown, perfect for sauces and snacks of the season. Each time I visit, it is a trip of discovery, so I look forward to the next journey! read more

Store is clean, staff are helpful and kind! Would deffinitly go back for the pantry and imported snacks.

I have always loved the World Market. I love all the furniture and little accessories for your house. Just love the style of it. I also love how they sell cute novelty items, as well as food and snacks from all around the world. The store here in SLO is always clean and I have never had an issue with the store. I have yet to come across a rude employee. The cashier today was very friendly and cheery. I always stop by when I'm in SLO. read more

World Market - Little wall mirror and chair. I love this store!! - Furniture Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I love Cost Plus but this store's customer service is terrible. I ordered an item online to pick up which their site said "order today before 5pm for same day pick up", which I did at 6:30am. I never received a call, text, or email it was ready. I showed up at 2pm and a woman said she was supposed to call me and let me know it hasn't been unloaded from their truck and wouldn't be that day, nor couldn't guarantee it the next day either. The saleswoman even had the audacity to ask me why I would wait last minute to order something I needed that day. Ummm, first thing, your site said I CAN get it the same day. Second thing, it's none of your f***ing business!!! Thank god I don't live in that area otherwise, I would never shop Cost Plus again. The one by me has excellent customer service. I probably won't buy online from them anymore though. read more

This place is great! The Leona dining room farmhouse is ridiculous quality at inexpensive prices. Bella, the furniture guru, is awesome to work with. And the store has 40% off all furniture frequently. Hate shopping big box, maybe this could be considered medium box? Guess I have to make an exception. read more

Got to give a shout out to the amazing Barbara - such a sweet kind soul at check out. Thank you for helping us out on items we were looking for as well as making check out as smooth as possible with how long the lines were. Please give her praise she deserves! read more

Buying online is a nightmare. They have no carts for physically handicapped and customer service is nonexistent. Wish they had longer hours. So if you are in a wheelchair you can expect not to be able to shop here like so many other discrimination against handicapped. read more

Cost Plus World Market is such a great, fun, fascinating store! A few years ago, I was visiting my younger sister in CA, and I had never been in World Market before. She thought I'd love it, so we went in, and she was right. Love this store! I was living in Dubai, and at the end of every summer, I'd come to visit her, and we'd shop at World Market. Now that I've moved back to the US and actually live in CA, I've introduced my husband to World Market. He loves that store, too! We've bought a number of items there, from the Himalayan Pink Organic Popcorn to various furniture (for the living room and home office)! If you've never been in World Market or on their website, you MUST! (The employees are also very helpful, kind and friendly!) Thank you so much World Market for always a fun shopping experience! read more

Staff was courteous and helpful. We purchased a sofa with lovely pillows. The furniture was on sale so we got a good deal. The sofa was carried to out to our vehicle by staff. read more

Great unique products and a super rewards program! Definitely worth signing up for their rewards program because they often have really terrific rewards deals. read more

I am a member of cost plus world market and like the quality of their furniture. Things are great when they have the stock in the store, you pick it up and go to the register. Just beware if you need help to get something that is out of stock. No follow through, no one knows what is going on, save your nerves and walk out the door if it isn't on the shelf. read more

This place is so awesome. I can spend a few hours up and down the aisles. I have tried so many of their food and drinks that I have not had before. I love variety. Customer service is great. Always asking if I need help and when I do they are very knowledgeable! read more

'Tis the season of sales sales sales...fa la la la la la la la la... Cost plus had what seemed to be almost its entire store on sale, making stuff more affordable. And I owe a sincere apology for running my mouth about wine. Whether or not I remembered incorrectly or something changed, one seems to get a price break on wine if four bottles are bought, rather than six. (I had stated six before, and that's where I apologize) BUT BUT BUT, YOU GOTTA JOIN THE CLUB, which I did. I didn't wait to be asked, I asked for the "privilege". And since I am being oh so nice now, please please please do not sell out of those game of thrones wine bottle gift sets until I can get back up there and get one. Thank you... read more

Terrible customer service... young gal in the lighting center in the back was so wrapped up in conversation with her buddies I was completely ignored for 15 mins until I finally went to the front cashier to ask for help... then I needed to wait for another 20 mins to get my fixture... if the price wasn't so good I would have left much earlier. read more

I had no plans of buying anything today, since I was just looking around. I couldn't help but purchase a few items, as they had amazing pricing. Ben helped me out and then went to get me a cart to put all my items in. Thank you for your welcomed assistance. read more

I love World Market. If I'm ever in a city that has one there is a 75% chance I'll try to make it out to one. Why? Weird beer, kitsch, and really beautiful furniture pieces. With the furniture you get a very worldly feel from them even though the price tag will often leave you feeling ":O" I've had so-so customer service from here in the past, but I'm so focused on what I'm getting that I don't even care about an employee greeting me (which they don't). Depending on what time you go the lines can either move very quickly or at a snail's pace. This location is definitely the cleanest, most well-stocked/well-organized World Market I've ever been to even though their bathroom is always dingy and messy when I've gone into one. I'll always come here though. There's only one in the area so I will make do! read more

I love this store !!! After searching all the stores for this wonderful kitchen tool I finally found it !! The store has some delicious snacks as well ! It's a little expensive but who cares you find some cute stuff there . read more

WARNING: if you buy many items; they are NOT returnable in the store. I bought a rug and had to pay lots to return via UPS. Buyer beware of purchasing anything that says "ONLINE ONLY!" read more

I love this store. It's probably as close to some cultural diversity as you can get in San Luis Obispo. Problem is they don't open on time. If you go as soon as they open expect to wait. This kind of is a pattern in San Luis Obispo where places don't really open at exactly the time advertised. I think it has something to do with it being a college town. Other than that it's a great store . And the staff are pretty friendly. A good place if you're trying to find an ingredient for a specific ethnic dish. read more

It's a cost plus. It's a cost plus in california, so yeah me, alcohol in every store! I go for the snack, spices, and wine and beer The lines can range from quick to long and annoying. Always a good time, always good snacks! read more

Really great wine selection. I love that they have local wine since our wine country is so amazing here. I wish it were a larger selection though, as there are so many wineries and too few are represented. Also, Amy is awesome! Every time I shop here I feel welcome and she's very educated on wine. She helps me pick winners no matter what the occasion. Thanks Amy! read more

Short version: Customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. I went in on Black Friday and it was crazy, as expected. The cashiers were incredibly rude, and even mocked an elderly disabled woman when she failed to hear that a register was open. I understand Black Friday is stressful, but there's no reason to take it out on the customers. I purchased the entire Downton Abbey tea set because it was advertised as 50%. The red sale sign was on the end of the aisle right below the set. When I got to the register, it didn't ring up as 50% off so I had to go back to have it fixed. The manager came and rudely told me they weren't part of the sale. I showed them the sign and they took it off, but told me they'd honor the deal since it was "confusing." I was grateful for that, but I had to sit there was the manger gave me attitude the entire time she was doing the refund. I had also used a 15% coupon, so the refund was confusing to process. I had to take out all of my items to re-scan and buy them again. My refund wasn't processed correctly, but I was only charged an extra $5, and it wasn't worth it to put up with the managers attitude again. I don't live in San Luis, so I just got home tonight and went through my bag. They didn't give me back all of my items!!! I was missing a spoon set. I should have checked before I left, but it was so crazy in there that I just wanted to get out. I figured I could just call and they'd set it right. Ha, boy was I wrong! The local store said they couldn't do anything for me and they didn't keep records of forgotten items. Ok, somewhat understandable. I called corporate and asked if they could do something...the lady literally told me "There's nothing we can do. You're out of luck." I would also like to make clear that I didn't yell or even get upset with any of the people I talked to. They're just employees who don't control anything. But I'm astonished that they weren't willing to do ANYTHING for me. Not even a lousy coupon to use when I have to now rebuy the item. I'm extremely disappointed with my experience. read more

This was the first one I've been to in SLO. I like the fact that there are so many unique things here from all over the world. I enjoy the music that they play as well. Basically if you're bored, you should check this place out. I bought my friend some potpourri here. Lots of good stuff but kinda expensive. Oooh and check out the photographs and paintings, there are some beautiful ones. read more

Until I am making bank to afford crystal china and expensive wine glasses, I will continue to come here to create my bar set-up. My bf bought me a complete bartender set (shakers, stirrers, the whole deal) and left it up to me to get martini glasses. Immediately I knew I would come here to get them. I got my champagne glasses here for $1.99 and they have worked out great. I loved that they have such a large selection of barware, I settled on some cute glasses that are not the typical martini glass look. I also opted for a couple more wine glasses (two of my Target glasses broke) and a bamboo spoon. I swear I come into this place and go crazy and decided that I want everything in the store and attempt to buy it. This time the bf was around to snap me back into the reality of our economy and the fact that we are furloughed two days a month. They also have a great selection of international chocolate. I bought a ton of German chocolate for an Oktoberfest program I was doing and I spent about 20 minutes trying to choose what I wanted to get. This place is my absolute favorite but I only allow myself to go every couple of months. read more
