Always my go to spot for filling my kids' stockings or their shoes (St. Nick) with sweets because you can find all sorts of magical stuff that they don't find at the 7-11 or the corner store or wherever they trot to after school. Also got some fun candies for my co-workers that feel a little fancier because they are hard to find. I went with Kit-Kat bars in three flavors I'd never seen before and then gave everyone an assortment! read more

World Market - Picked up KRIS Pinot Grigio because I thought red would be too heavy for O Magazine's summer edition! - Furniture Stores Near Me - Torrance, California

Sooooo fully stocked for the holidays! If you're not already in the spirit, go NOW! Many, many items to select from .. food from almost every country and non-food merchandise. I usually go in wanting only 3 items and end up with a cart full. Lovely, friendly employees. Today my cashier was Adela and she was so helpful and friendly. Thank you! read more

Mom is a fan and wanted to check them out since she was looking for some specific rugs. (She mentioned she found some she really liked before and was hoping to score more on this visit.) Walked in and my first thought was, "Meh, I'm prolly gonna end up with nothing from here..." Its not really my kind of store. So while Mom ran around like a kid in a candy store, I paced myself and walked through as many nooks, crannies and corners as I can. It's an interesting store! It's part home goods - part dry goods blended together. The first stop was their clearance area, so I found a couple of bargain buys there. When I got to the dry goods area, found a couple of bargain buys there as well! And this is where I realized I just ate my own words. Boy, they have everything here: home decor, furnishing, kitchen essentials, food... I was pleasantly surprised! Mom was happy to report she found rugs she really liked, and since she was on their email list, she got a cool $5 discount! Decent first run! On my radar now! read more

Shopping in Torrance, California... I've forgotten how I learned about this store. I've been to the Pasadena location and found Hello Kitty tote bags, notebooks, plates, etc. It's been a while since I last visited. So... why return? 1. We don't have this store in Hawaii. 2. I had some time and saw that Torrance had a World Market. I thought I'd just run in quickly... 3. There was a lot of Hello Kitty merchandise. I did see some posts on Instagram about the new stock... it's challenging to resist... especially when 4. World Market texted me a coupon a few days ago... Well, I walked past the clothing, furniture, ethnic foods, discounted Christmas items, soaps, kitchen gadgets, lotions, candies, jewelry, spices, exotic foods, etc. and found the Lunar New Year decorations and shelves of Hello Kitty stuff! Arg! I got a few gifts and ran out quickly before I got more things... This store has some really cool items from all over the world! read more

World Market is awesome! I asked the hubby to drive us here a couple weekends ago because I wanted to get a couple of Christmas ornaments. They had certain selections that are only 2 for $6. (As of 11/26/2023) One ornament I got was a shiny peace sign (since my family member loves peace signs). They carry so many wonderful imported items widely ranging from food, beverages, home decor, and more! During our recent visit, the hubby filled the shopping cart with items. He got a box of Christmas cards and various themed gift boxes such English crackers in Nutcrackers, little bottles of different hot sauces, hot cocoa/marshmallows/peppermint, a movie night gift box, and others. If you are a fan of certain characters from Sanrio, Disney, or the Peanuts Gang, there is a variety of things like food items, a gumball machines, notebooks, and more. This time of the year is great to see the selection of holiday goodies. Our cashier was top notch and enthusiastic. She set us up so that my mobile number and or email gets updates which got us a nice discount off our total. 4 stars! read more

Sara is the best. I had a difficult return (online order returned in store) and she made it happen. Thank you, Sara!

Came here with my mom recently, to pick up an item that was not available at our local location. First of all, this spot is HUGE! They had everything. Plus, the service was impeccable. The lady that greeted us and the manager that assisted with our order went above and beyond - even helping carry our items to the counter to ring us up. Super friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend. read more

I visited this past weekend as I was starting my holiday shopping. I haven't visited for quite sometime and was very surprised at the level of service specifically from Alejandra B who went above and beyond to assist me and answer my questions. Her service skills were outstanding. She has definitely changed my mind about shopping anywhere else for gifts. She is a gem at Cost Plus World Market! Thank you Alejandra! read more

I had always heard about this place but never had the chance to go. I had been looking for a special glassware for a whiskey Sour that my husband wanted so I gave it a try. As soon as I walked in it was a match made in heaven, this store is so adorable and very dangerous for a person who loves cooking and likes fun trinkets for the home. I went thru every section, the glassware was a hit and found what I needed. The selection is amazing, the quality is great and the prices are reasonable as well. They have stuff from different parts of the world that I appreciated. There was a wine that I found from a small restaurant when we were in Spain and I was blown away. They have a wonderful section full of small baskets that you can make gifts to give away with fun small olives, chocolates and other tasty stuff. They had a great wine selection & furniture area. Regardless I'll be coming back because this store is now my favorite and already have my eye on certain things that I saw already. The store is clean, the staff are nice and helpful & parking is great! Cant wait to be back. read more

I've been coming to this location for years at least 15 - , but recently it seems to have gone down hill. The store is a mess, and there's never enough cashiers. Latley there seems to only be one cashier at any given time. Also I can no longer take the shopping carts outside They put big poles on them like the 99 cent store., which means I cant get as many items in one trip, because I can not carry more than I can hold. I suppose i can order online, but I like going to stores and interacting. read more

I Love World Market! . They always have a great selection and fun and unique things to choose from. Service has been great, no matter of the location. From their candles, to seasonings and food items from a variety of countries, to unique decorative items for your kitchen and your Living space, Customers service is always nice and helpful. read more

Ken went beyond to help me return an item for which I had lost the receipt. This allowed me to purchase a more expensive brand new model on my same visit. Ken is ALWAYs courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable about the products as well as the World Market system (which by the way is a bit slow and antiquated). Bottom line, excellent customer service. I'll always go back to shop there. read more

I love World market I especially like the kind service that I get from Ashley. They use to have my favorite gin. But not anymore

Regarding the holiday events to find the elf or reindeer or whatever. They always hide them stupidly hard at this location. Other locations in California don't have this issue. Why is this the only store you have to spend an hour searching and still no one can find it. Like 59 people tear the store apart and nothing? read more

The last time I was in a world market was probably more than 10 years ago. In my mind it was a place for home decor, so I came in looking for votive candle holders. I didn't find any, but I was pleasantly surprised to find so many interesting snacks, including my #1 favorite chips (zapps voodoo kettle chips), which are hard to find anywhere other than the east coast or the internet. Also, terrys chocolate orange which I thought was only available at Christmas. Also, honeycomb and orange flavored Kit Kats. It was amazing. I kind of wish I hadn't made this discovery, because now I foresee myself coming here frequently for treats. There are nice looking home and kitchen things too. read more

Ken and Ashley are the best! They helped me decorate my living room for my new apartment -- both were incredibly helpful and accommodating! Great experience overall -- 11/10 recommend read more

A Karen a day keeps the customer away. Just encountered the rudest treatment by a cashier for the first time here, although I love shopping here. The cashier was sarcastic from the get-go, really showed how unhappy of a person she is or forgot to take her meds. When I asked an innocuous question, she completely ignored me. God forbid if she's a manager, this store is in trouble. This store deserves 4 stars as the merch is interesting, and I love the most realistic-looking flowers here, as well as, the unique kitchenware, dishes, home decor, etc. Most recently, I re-discovered the bath accessories. The food items from all over the world are also a must check out and great to add to gift bags. The prices run the gamut from reasonable to overpriced, but the rare clearance items are a decent deal. I also like to peruse the shawls and jewelry when i have time. Post Christmas sales are fun too. Going forward, I'll try to order online or shop at another location to avoid this mean cashier. read more

The best World Market in Los Angeles County. The staff here are top-notch. They go out of their way to help you - with whatever you need. They will help you load items into your car, get stuff down off the high shelf, bring you a shopping cart, go in the back and look for merchandise, order merchandise from another store/region and have it shipped here. Just OUTSTANDING!! I highly recommend World Market for not only their customer service, but the quality of their merchandise as well. All of my culinary is from World Market, kitchen items, and some furniture. They have cards, skincare, the best candles and I have gotten quite a few unique jewelry pieces from World Market over the years. Love the food variety, many diverse options from around the world. The Torrance store is well kept, always decorated appropriately and the store is bright and welcoming. I love how everything is organized there is a lot of merchandise to choose from. Not picked over. Always great seasonal selections to choose from. Reserve time to just browse. Parking is no problem. They also stand by their merchandise. If you have any problems, they will happily refund your money or offer to replace it. I have never had a problem with World Market. Excellent store, excellent finds, excellent staff. 10/10!!!! read more

have been here a handful of times but mostly during their golden unicorn event around thanksgiving. that was really fun to do and looking forward to doing that again next year. their selection seems pretty good from what i've seen so far and no complaints about service either. parking lot is also easy to navigate and location is a plus for me. it is a bit pricey--i've gotten some accessories like a scarf and jewelry so far. i think i need to visit a few more times to give that last star but definitely becoming a regular at this point. read more

I'm sure those who have shopped at World Market are aware of all the beautiful and unique items available. What I'm really wanting to mention on this review is the unfortunate experience I had this morning with a customer service representative by the name Jean. Jean was very robotic, and had a very unwilling to help vibe. I also noticed her speaking to another staff member and she wasn't too helpful either. A little smile would do :) Torrance, Ca store read more

I love World Market in Redondo Beach and shop there all the time. Most of the staff there are friendly, helpful, and engaging. However, today I had Kassandra as my cashier. She was not friendly. She did not greet me when I walked to the counter, she did not even invite me to the counter. I just basically walked up because she was just standing there checking her nails, she was not at all welcoming and acted like she had an attitude because I disturbed her expecting her to do her job. She completed my transaction, then laid my receipt on the counter and then called the next customer up to the station. No "thank you for shopping here". No "have a nice evening". Nothing. I don't know if it was just me or if that is her attitude in general, but I do not appreciate it and I made sure that the manager was made aware. Rudeness will not get me to spend my money. read more

Their store personnel are quite helpful. The stores are well stocked with good quality items at a decent price

Due to the pandemic, this store is offering online ordering and curbside pickup (which I love). My order was ready for pickup actually within an hour. However since there were a few items not available I decided to pickup in store next day. The store opened at 11:00 am and I arrived five minutes later. This was one of the most pleasant social distance shopping experience I've had. Pleasant staff and very clean, organized store. They have an associate available just to handle online orders. I was able to browse, get a few additional items and my online order friendly and swift. One thing the pandemic has caused is a paradigm shift in most retail businesses that is humbling. read more

We needed to buy a compact yet comfortable chair for the office. Always a fan of World Market, we made this local one our 2nd stop. The store has everything, seasonal knick knacks, all sorts of snacks, furniture, food and decor. We happened upon a chair that was discontinued in the color I wanted (Megan Swivel Chair) - which also didn't fit in the car. The person who helped us, Jeremy was the real MVP... he told us about their partnership with Lugg, how to get a discount and we were able to get the chair delivered to our place within an hour and a half! Thanks Jeremy! read more

This place has it all from different parts of the world! Very clean and staff are welcoming and friendly! I can't have enough of this place!!! And their deals are amazing!!! I can't believe I haven't visited this place for a while and they still have my name on record and was able to receive discounts wowww! Besides I'm really close to this place! They've got the most unique goodies in here! read more

I've always enjoy going to this location. It is not a large CPWM but it is well stocked and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Parking on the large lot is a breeze. Have never had a problem finding a place to park. Slight criticism on THIS visit only (not enough to lower score) is that I purchased an outdoor table (that came in a box) that weighed about 60 pounds. We were given the item on a cart but no one offered to help us load it into our vehicle. We didn't ask for assistance but common sense tells me it should have been offered. Fortunately I had help with me otherwise I never could have done it myself. Other than that we purchased several other items at the same time which were too big for our vehicle. The store held the items for pickup later the same day. When we arrived they were easy to pick up, no waiting, and we were on out way. read more

What kinda corporate franchise of this size only has one manager on staff AND this manager is the only person in the whole store that can do a return ?? We sat here for 20 mins waiting on this one person to do a return. Wtf. I'm not even sure if she knew we were waiting for her. So ridiculous. read more

Five stars for Jean who provided excellent customer service. I recently made a purchase online to pick up in store. After picking up my order, I went home later to realize that 2 items were missing. Not a problem if it wasn't available, but I was still charged for them. I called next day to let them know what happened but given they were busy, they were going to take my info and get back to me later. Jean called me back, apologizing for the wait and addressed my concerns with a few possible solutions. I would go back for the items if they were still available but didn't mind just getting a refund either. Because the inventory was showing in stock, Jean wanted to look around and let me know if they were available or not. She found one of the items and she'd continue keeping an eye out for the other. I really appreciate that despite the busy holiday season, Jean took the time to search for the items instead of telling me they weren't available and just giving the refund. I understand that online inventories can sometimes be inaccurate so it wasn't a huge deal if I couldn't get them. She was so genuinely helpful and kind and apologetic, although she didn't need to be! I've worked in retail so I really try to be a good customer in return because I know how difficult it can be sometimes. I hope the other employees at this store are just as awesome because I will definitely continue shopping here now! read more

the store is great but today my experience was not fun. i wish i had said something earlier but while i was trying to get rung up there was a clearly distressed cashier calling for help and she was not getting the help as the line was stacking up. when the person finally came she was talking down on the cashier, i think i over heard her name was gene im not sure , and tried to make her look bad and basically insulted the cashier. i should've said something but she had left to finally help. i saw the cashier ask for help multiple times and this employee instead of saying i'm sorry was super condescending and mean. read more

My sister and I was in the area on a Saturday in early July. My sister had a credit so decided to check out this store. The store is big inside and spacious. As we walked in, The cashier greeted us nicely. I think they need more food aisles and kitchen or dining stuff like in Pasadena. They have lots of furniture in the center. We didn't buy anything. read more

I have lived in this area for over a year and my family and I truly love going to this location because it is a quick walk, the nice staff, and obviously the amazing products. My kids love it there too! So tonight one of my kids asked me to go there for her birthday to see if see if all the Gift cards were found for the November competition. We went in, noticed that they were all found, so we decided to look around.... just looking. When my daughter said that one of the customer support representatives came by us and was staring at us oddly. I noticed that she was pretending to fix things, while looking at us through the shelves. As much as I spend in this store, and also being in the same industry, I would never treat people that way. Is it cause we were speaking Spanish? What was this suspicion for? Wondering if others have had the same experience! I want to make sure that the review is for the Torrance, CA location. read more

I enjoy shopping here. They are known for selling unique items. My routine is to head to the left side of the store where the jewelry is located first. They have great stuff, which I would describe as Bohemian. Then I head towards the back of the store where the food is. They sell a unique selection of foods from all parts of the world that makes it interesting. Great selection of candy for certain. Finally, I walk through their wine section. Again, an interesting selection of wines, and a wide variety. Since I enjoy a good sangria, I purchase the red wine sangria from Spain. The store is clean, and the employees are nice. By the way, they have complimentary tea and coffee samples. It's dispensed from a carafe, so customers can help themselves. read more

Clean store with a wide variety of imported goods and friendly employees. My only complaint is that many things aren't priced and it seems like they are hoping you will just buy without asking. read more

World Market carries a great, ever evolving selection of imported foods. They carry foods that just are easily available at the grocery store. A particular favorite is there chocolate section. Yummy chocolate with great flavors. One with chili peppers, but be careful, it's HOT. They carry marzipan in many shapes and forms. Their licorice section is great, including salty Finish licorice and English All Sorts. They carry a nice range of soups, pastas, chips and crackers. Their spices, hot sauces, and chutneys are great. There is a whole section with mini sizes, for gourmet and gift baskets. They even sale basket kits with plastic wrap, filler, ties and a card, all-in-one. They have wine and related items. The candles, soap, lotions and creams are nice. From multiple countries with a wide range of fragrances, colors and textures. They have journals that are handmade, and cards for a variety of occasions. They have scarves, jewelry and clothing in an exotic eclectic mix of colors and styles. I like how they have mirrors to try them on, to see how they look. The furniture is beautiful. Unique, well made and sturdy. A few years ago, I purchased a daybed, and bright hand embroidered pillows. They're still as beautiful as when I brought them home. Still making me happy, when I look at them.Their culinary cookware department has serious cooking to whimsical dishes and glasses. Great cheap glasses and dishes for casual entertaining. Great serving dishes, BBQ tools, napkins, aprons and pitchers. They usually feature a display with a few well chosen cook books and the accessories and supplies to make the food come alive. They have pre-Mardi Gras, and pre-Halloween party tastings. The food is always yummy and unique.Get on the e-mail list, it will keep you informed of free special events, give you discount coupons, a birthday discount and special surprises. While I always love World Market, Christmas time is especially magic. The ornaments are gathered from all over the world. So cute and delightful. So many, many,many to choose from. You'll find it all, to make a truly special Christmas tree. They have great Black Friday sales to get you in the mood. Their British crackers are great. They carry German gingerbread, stollen and Christmas chocolate ornaments.When I gave German Christmas candy to my friend from Germany, she was very touched. Their yearly chocolate advent calendars are yummy cute. But, it's the unexpected that makes shopping here fun. The things you don't expect. So many wonderful things, from so many countries. I leave here, feeling like I've been on vacation. read more
