I've been to this world market dozens of times each year for years. I find the best gifts because there are so many one of a kind items from all over the world. Edible and collectibles. I have tried nearly every licorice they have ever brought in, same for their olives. Mmmmm!! This is a terrific place to find stocking stuffers too. They also greeted you on your entry and I've been helped by a lot of friendly workers. I really enjoy this location. It's my favorite in the valley. read more

World Market - Okay coolest gift so far - Home Decor Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love world market. They actually have the cutest ornaments here! Got a couple gold origami swans for my mom here and she absolutely loves them. The staff is always so friendly and I even signed up for the rewards program. The sweet older cashier lady helped me and I saved 15% off your entire purchase. If you havent signed up yet I would highly suggest it! I got a discount on some wonderful Christmas gifts. read more

I've been shopping at this World Market location for many years. This is their Tempe Marketplace location. i recently moved to the area and this is now my regular World Market that I shop at. World Market was once Cost Plus World Market until Bed Bath and Beyond sold them in 2021. In the earlier days, I shopped here for furniture and bottles of wine for my wine collection. Then I started buying their coffee products. I pick up a bag of coffee often, especially during the holiday season when they offer seasonal flavors. World Market sells many specialty and import products. You can find all sorts of stuff like home furniture, kitchen products, decor, rugs, and gifts. In the grocery section are international food products, coffee, beer, and wine. My favorite time to come here is during the holiday seasons when they stock the shelves with lots of fun Fall and Winter products. When it is not the holidays, the products that I buy most here are extra virgin olive oil, coffee, pasta, and any other snacks that I can't find in regular grocery stores. Even though World Market has changed a lot over the years, I've always enjoyed the International theme here mostly because of my time being overseas. If you ever come to my place, a lot of my furniture and decor is from World Market. read more

The crazy cat lady strikes again!! I was sent on yet another mission to find more cat items, smh. The mission was completed in no time, as I spotted exactly what I needed right as I walked in. The selection is wonderful here, and so is the service. I didn't catch the lady's name who completed my transaction, but she was really nice. We had a few laughs as she rung me up. I'll probably be sent back here again if and when the crazy cat lady who lives in the boonies finds more cat things online!! Lol At least I know it'll be a nice shopping experience! read more

Traveling and came across this store. I've not yet visited one of these stores. We grabbed some candy and cookies and looked around a bit and then proceeded to check out. Our cashier, Cynthia, was so incredibly helpful. She advised I could text to save and assisted me in the process. I even got a free package of cookies for signing up. SCORE! Very pleasant experience. read more

Great chocolate and licorice. Fun shopping with great service. There are so many foods for all over and I want to try them all!! read more

I love World Market and so if I ever run across one I've never been like today I make it a point to check it out. This location was pretty easy to get to, but man the traffic can get nuts because it is in the Tempe Marketplace . The store was great size and was very organized and clean. I found quite a few items I hadn't seen at the locations near my home so that was awesome. Service was ok. No other employees acknowledged us or asked if we may need help besides the greeting we got from the single cashier running the entire front. read more

First Time Visit First Impressions They need World Market in Uptown! I love this place. Been to other locations before. The best selection of chocolates from around the world. What made World Market the best overall destination for chocolate lovers? Seattle Chocolates is the main reason! They got a good selection of merchandise. We do need them here in Uptown seriously! They could open in Christown. read more

I love coming to the store. There is so much to look at and every time that I'm here, it makes me want to redecorate my whole house. There is everything from artwork for your wall to furniture and rugs, dishes, clothing, and a great selection of gifts. There is a green velvet sectional for sale that I'm obsessed with. Our favorite part of the store is the food and wine section. There are different kinds of candy, cookies, sauces, pasta, you name it from other parts of the world. We always leave with a stash of cookies and candy and a jar of pasta sauce. The selection of foreign wine is so fun to look at because of all the beautiful bottles. Even when we don't buy something here, we have such a good time just browsing. It is hard to leave, though, without getting at least one thing. read more

"Greetings, Earthwoman. Time for the midday consumption of mass quantities." (Beldar Conehead) This is a belated review of the most heavenly care package I received from worldmarket.com, sent by the wonderful and thoughtful Karen W. The package contained a constellation of comfort treats! Karen really is the best in the Milky Way! When I opened the box, I found worldly delights from one of my favorite brands, Hawaiian Host, and Bavarian-style Spätzle from one of my favorite places on Earth. Jumpin Jupiter!! Some intergalactic Kit Kats may have also landed in the box, sans primordial goo. I definitely won't need an asteroid belt to hold up my jeans after eating these sweets! This care package also included some pampering in the way of a marvelous Meowza Gel eye mask (the cat's pawjamas!) and "Are you sheeting me" face masks. "Shazbot!" Mahalo, Danke, Arigatou gozaimasu and thank you to Karen and to worldmarket.com for all the treats! No matter how you say it, this gift box and the thought behind it deserve all the stars!! Perhaps in the future worldmarket.com might include mini cut outs of Mork from Ork and George Tsoukalos' giant hair with all deliveries, because...aliens! Nanu Nanu read more

World Market - Freezed dried skittles - Home Decor Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This is a great place for holiday gift shopping for the family. They always have some fun and unique finds, and the prices are usually pretty good. They even have some spiffy kitchen tables which aren't too badly priced. The only downside is that they are usually pretty busy which wouldn't be so bad except their aisles are narrow so it's sort of like playing bumper cars in there with the other shoppers. Just avoid going on the weekend though and it's not too bad. read more

This is still one of my favorite retail stores, the word emporium keeps coming to mind. Over the years it has become a bit more commercial and contrived but there is still something new around every corner. My favorite part is the international food section where it's easy to be inspired and also find some of those rare items you only see here. There is also a terrific wine area with wine casually displayed in boxes on the floor, nothing pretentious here and the bargain prices are nice. Friendly and helpful is the best way to describe the shop keepers. Its pleasant and fun to visit World Market. read more

This review is not about the Papasan chair I purchased. This review is about the intangible that makes me enjoy the tangible chair even more. This review us about the Amazing service I received from Nalani, Nick, and Kevin. I purchased a papasan chair only to realize it was not going to fit in my tiny car. The 3 amigos tried every way possible to assist and make it work- all the while working in the dark outside while it was beginning to rain! Manager Nick offered several delivery options while still trying to help me shove a bowling ball through the eye of a needle. Eventually I was able to get the chair home thanks to the kindness of a good Samaritan. But even during this process, my new World Market family didn't leave. I will return to this store again and again. There are some things that are worth paying extra for. The exceptional service from Nalani, Nick, and Kevin is one such thing. Thank you all. read more

I may just be one of the biggest fans of Cost Plus that there ever was. My house is filled with their furniture, kitchen supplies, jewelry, and more. And every time I need a unique gift, this is where I come! Today I popped in to this store to put together a local wine basket for a silent auction and of course, they had ALL OF THE THINGS that I needed! In fact, the basket that I was using was pretty large and they even had a JUMBO basket bag that it fit inside!! I was so happy because that was one less errand that I had to do today. I filled the basket with 3 bottles of local wine, gorgeous wine glasses, an aerator, a preserver, wine pen, wine charms, cute napkins, nuts, and more. I hope that the charity makes some great money on it! Any little bit helps, right? The best part, they let me put the basket together right then and there and even helped me arrange it! Thank you for always making my life SO dang easy, World Market! And thank you to this lovely store for having incredible customer service. I'll be back! read more

Great xmas stuff from England (Walker's butter biscuits) and Germany! Real marzipan from Lübeck, stöllen, and EXPENSIVE COOKIES by Bahlsen. I was kinda pissed after I realized I bought nearly 70 cents a cookie. Friendly and helpful employees! Just check the prices of things. Some things are deals, many are not. Leinenkugel summer shandy still on the shelf. Discount that already! NOW THE BIGGIE----- TEAK CHOPSTICKS ARE BEING SOLD HERE. Rainforests are being decimated for CHOPSTICKS!!

World Market - TEAK CHOPSTICKS!! FOR SHAME!! - Home Decor Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

If I had to nominate a place for having "the most miserable employees in Tempe," this store would probably make the list! Everyone working here seemed as if they had something troubling on their minds. I've been to funerals that were more uplifting. I guess COVID or the present state of things otherwise has got some people down but man these people could use a good motivational speech or a pep talk! The cashier seemed unengaged while the other employees walking through the store or stocking the shelves just gave off some negative vibes. Aside from the employees, this is a really nice store. Very clean. Organized. Good selection of items. Maybe I just caught the employees on a bad day... read more

Love this store. Amazing international food products. Love the selection on furniture. Only thing at the present moment is that the supply chain is holding up products coming in and it is obvious they are missing items or waiting on them. read more

I love this store and the products , but that is not the issue here, I was rudely berated by one of your employees with red hair, middled aged women, she was so un kind to me that it fully ruined my day, I wanted to buy hello kitty soups and she approached me with such a mean attitude and Continued to belittle me throughout the conversation. I will never come here again, I felt sick leaving the store. Thanksalan read more

Bought stuff online to pick up in store. Prices in store were cheaper, complained & was basically told - tough luck, they are different businesses (even though the receipt says they will give you 10 days for cheaper price match. ) I won't return to World Market again, this is not a store that values its customers. read more

Loved the variety of products the store has to offer. However, the reason for the poor review comes from the employee at front checkout and manager. They are rude and quite frankly shouldn't be working in customer service. Talking poorly about a customer over the radio is unacceptable. Furthermore, mumbling rude comments under your breathe and thinking your mask will cover your unkind words is extremely unprofessional. read more

Love this place! You always find unique items AND they have a wonderful little grocery market area with so many different items you can't find in your average grocery store! read more

The store is a disaster, no organization. Looks dumpy, not clean looks like they are going out of business! Very sad to see, I've shopped at this location for many years and never seen it look like this!! read more

Love this place. HUGE and tons of selection! Snacks, drinks, gifts, furniture, dish wear, candles, lotions, etc. Found the Japanese marble sodas. =) read more

Given the variety of chairs, the hammock and love seat placed by the door even before you enter the doors, this place seems to be saying, "Come on in. Stay awhile". And that's about what happens. This store has just about everything - furniture, wine, coffee, chocolate and other foods, window coverings, pots and pans etc. It's a little mecca of goodies right here in the desert. And the staff are very helpful and very personable. I had a few things in my hand and one of the guys gave me a basket and asked if he could help me choose between the two items I was pondering. They do a nice job setting up their home-décor items. Things are grouped together so it is easy to focus on one thing at a time. I always roam the whole store before I buy anything and the staff have always been helpful. If you haven't been here yet - try it, you'll like it. read more

Friendly employees, clean and organized store, fantastic selection, great prices, unbeatable customer service, fun jewelry, tasty edibles, awesome beer and wine options... You can't go wrong at this location. This store is run and managed like a lot of other places should strive to be. Amazing management and employees help this particular World Market stand out. Always greeted, welcomed and made to feel special here. Kudos to whomever is in charge. Love your Tempe Marketplace team! Love the membership discounts and specials, also! Be sure and sign up - it's worth it. read more

If you are in a bind and need to buy the entire stock of a certain product then this is NOT the place to go. I had to finish a design project and needed a large number of curtains. Three other locations (Chandler, Scottsdale, and Camelback) allowed me to buy out their entire stock of the same product including their displays but LeeAnn- a woman who said she was the manager at this location - refused. Her explanation was that since it was an active product and she could sell to another customer she would not sell it to me. When I explained to her that common sense showed that a product that was on display but that they were sold out of couldn't be sold to a different customer she was not willing to see reason. She rudely told me I should have called them before coming there. I explained that I had another store check the available inventory at her store before coming there and they were supposed to have several. Her demeanor and attitude made it clear that I was an unwelcome annoyance to her day, not a customer to be valued. Now I love the products at Cost Plus and have been a loyal customer for over 10 years, but this particular store will never get my business again. #customerservicematters read more

Dangerous place to shop! Lots of neat imported goodies, many in sample sizes so you can try them out before buying the bigger size. I got about 6 different flavors of hot cocoa, a maple sugar candy in a maple leaf shape for me (Michigan thing), and filed away a lot of ideas for gift-buying when I get home. I might even ask Santa for a gift card to World Market for myself! read more

Cost Plus has a great selection of household goods, furniture, and food, all from various parts of the world. There's always a cool item you'll be wanting to take home every time you go into this store. The employees here are very friendly, which is another plus! I always thought the name was a little funny, since the words Cost Plus make me think of something that will be costly, but for the most part, prices are decent. It's kind of like a more global, upscale version of Target here, with more hand crafted items and artisan foods. read more

The associates are great! Managers a bitch - don't try and return more than $200 (even though that's only like 4 things from this store) or she will try and report you for over returning. read more

I'm so glad there's a World Market in my life again because this place is awesome! They sell such a huge array of things, and though the prices might be more than ideal, check out the sale stuff because those prices are usually more right than wrong. Be sure to also stop by the liquor section if you like drinking because they have a fantastic collection of beer/wine/champagne from all over the world for a really reasonable price. They usually also have beers from around the world (which is a huge hit with my dad) for a really good price as well. They are seasonally-sold, so in the summer, you might find micro-brews, while in the fall/winter, you might find more holiday-esque beers with a pumpkin taste or hint of cinnamon. If you love stores like Anthropologie but want something a little more budget-friendly (and sells booze), this is your place. Go explore! It's SO worth it! (then afterward, you can check out the rest of tempe marketplace. great store, great location. what more can you ask?) read more

This store is fun to come browse whether your looking for something specific or just looking. They have unique items that other stores don't carry. The staff Is friendly and willing to help. They have all your home needs from dishes, pillows, glasses, tea pots, unique cookbooks, furniture, a snack isles that carry items from Germany, Italy to Japan. In one isle they have bins with mini snack items to create your own gift basket. The wine is divided by region such ad Germany and France. They have a nice selection of beers too. read more

The worst shopping experience. No help in the store and they don't accept online gift certificates in-store. This store is consistently a disappointment. read more

Absolute trash customer service. Just tried to return a rug and get credit back on the DEBIT CARD that I purchased it on (had a small gift card of $30 that also was applied on the purchase). Tammy asked me to insert the gift card into the chip reader. Obviously I don't have the gift card and the majority of the purchase was charged to my debit card. When I informed her that I would like the credit on my debit card, she snarkily says "you should've told me that before i started" and proceeds to load ANOTHER GIFT CARD for credit on the return without answering any of my questions or even trying to put it on my debit card. I don't want another gift card. I don't want another rug. The terms of the return state I am able to get debit card credit. Overall, I was treated like crap. Avoid this location. read more

It was our first time in the store and we were immediately greeted by Cardo, and he gave us the most awesome customer experience! You never get greeted when you walk into any store these days, but Cardo was super happy to give us the rundown on World Market with passion and expertise. Thanks Cardo, we left smiling after you rang us up too! We'll definitely be back and hope you're there when we do! read more

I made an online order from World Market last week and had complications with my order. I received the best customer service from Marissa. She assisted me in fixing/cancelling my online order, and was able to put the items on hold for me in-store so I could pick them up within 30 minutes of me calling. Thank you for the incredible customer service Marissa! Will be back to the Tempe World Market location again. read more

Worst customer service ever!!! Robbie shorted my change and I asked him to count the register or review the camera but he refused to do so. I couldn't believe I wasted 30 mins of my time arguing with this guy. I could care less about a few dollars but it's the principle. I should have recorded the incident on my phone to show you how horrible this guy was. I left the store in tears because I couldn't believe what had happened. I will never shop here again as long as Robbie continues to work there. read more

How do I love Cost Plus, let me count the ways! I never used to shop much at Cost Plus, just the occasional rando item. But a whole ago I saw an amazing kitchen table which had four seats bolted underneath the table on a swivel. This engineering masterpiece was made with quality wood and steel and was the perfect combo of industrial and warm. I was told you can go online and place a "watch" on an item to see when the price comes down. Sure enough, a month later it went on sale for $200 off. I was in! I purchased it online and got an email a few days later to come to the store to pick it up. It couldn't have been easier- I just pulled up in front of the store and the awesome employees loaded it up for me. I tried to tip them but even after three attempts they refused. Long story long, this place is awesome. Great deals on unique items. Sign up for their rewards program and you get some great coupons via email. read more

I have not been in a World Mart for several years. I visited this store and being during Christmas time it was very busy . I saw a customer who had a coupon for the free ornament and I asked her where she got it. After signing up for the Preferred Customer I went about my shopping. I got to the register and I couldn't access the coupon. I have a vision impairment and was very frustrated . I told the cashier (Ricardo) and his help made it possible to get the discounts through the app. I cant not say enough about how kind and patient Ricardo was to me. It was busy and the line was long but he took the extra step in helping me. It speaks volumes about great customer service I will be a repeat customer . Thank you to Ricardo for your kindness and patience read more

3.5 stars for a 5-star (almost) worthy place. I have to take 1.5 stars off for location. Not that I blame them for jumping on the Retailopolis bandwagon. After all, after I'm done buying new tank tops at Old Navy, snatching make-it-yourself-floral fun from Michael's and convincing myself I can't live without this it's-too-random-to-be-true moose-head candelabra from Ross, I definitely have a hankering for wine. So, where to go... Oh yeah, World Market. While I'm there, let me pick up a selection of beers from around the world (I hear Holland has some good brew), browse the allegedly specialized food items and take a quick peak at their assortment of candles, smell-good bath things and kitchenware. But, let's face it, I go for the wine. World Market suggests they sell things from around the world. While this is probably true (to a point), I both love and hate their wine selection (and I just plain hate how everything else takes up space that could be used for more wine). I love how their wines are divided by country and that you can find a really great wine for under $15 here. (Like Sexto from Spain) I just wish they had more! Yes, more wine! I said it. I want walls and walls of wine! A wall for Italy, a wall for Spain, a wall for Napa (it might as well be its own wine country)... But, if my teeny tiny wish came true, they'd have to change their name from World Market to Wine Market (or Wine Heaven). Now, what would be so wrong with that? read more
